Vee-Vee?"
The girl could not answer at once.
She was crying, for the hopelessness
of her own love had rushed over her
in a drowning tide. She knew now
that she could not tell him the
truth, could not shatter the dream
he had cherished for five years.

that he could, at best, make out

GIANTS LOOK TO
Be GOOD ENOUGH
FOR FIRST PLACE
Cobb Rates Infield As
Best He Has Ever Seen
In Action.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

NEW YORK, March s. - Some
weeks ago after baseball had passed
through the clearing house of Com.
missioner Lands with a white robe
and bigger salary for Ty Cobb and
iris Speaker, the oralists, as they
refer to Che men who make bets on
the tracks, established the New
York Giants as the favorite to win
the National league pcnnant.
AT that time the Giants had a
great infield, great outficld, a
pitching staff that didn't worry
ohm McGraw too much, and a catch.
ing staff that was spotty but prom
Using with recruits.
Ty Cobb, who hadn't spoken to
McGraw in years since a series of
disorders during an exhibition trip
between the Giants and the Detroit
Tigers. was obliged to visit Sara
sofa, Fla, some days ago. Cobb
went to the park where the Giants
were training. He shook hands with
McGraw and they turned out to be
great friends.
"That infield out there, John, -
Cobb said, is the greatest in the
history Of the game. | have never
seen fellows who can work faster
than that bunch.'
Cobb referred to Bill Terry at
first base, Rogers Hornsby at sec
ond, Travis Jackson at short and
Freddy Ltndstrum at third base.
Cobb remarked that he had seen
the famous infield of the Boston
Red Sox, the million dollar combin-
alton that Connie Mack had once
and the famous "Tinkcr to Evers
to Chance trio and that he figur-
cd the Giants combination the best.
The outficld at that time on pa
per was Pep Young in right field,
Eddie Roush in center field and one
of dozen worthics in left field. 1t
looked like an outficld almost rs
good as Detroit Sand Detroit new
cr has been without a great out
field. But since then Pep Young
has been lost for season at least
Roush is holding out for the many
reasons be always has for holding
out, and the Giants haven't a regu-
lar working left fielder.
Young, one of the greatest out
ficlders of the day, can't play this
season He is in critical condition
in hospital in San Antonio suffer
ing from bright S disease and it is
doubtful that he ever will be able
to play baseball again if he recov-
erS.
Roush says he will not play with
the Giants unless he gets Babe
Ruth S money, but Roush will be
with the Giants not long after the
season opens if not before.
With Young out, the Giants will
have to play Harper in right field
and Bcvo Lebourveau in left field
and that trio is not great outfield
even with Roush in the center.
The pitching staff is uncertain
and the catching squad certainly is
not one to excite anyone to super
latives.
The Giants, with those bad
breaks even before the season starts
do not look like an odds-on favorite
to win
But as the Giants hustlcrs say
and they always hustle-who' 60
ing to beat US?
If you name the party you win.
