Ty Cobb Tells McGraW His Com

New York, March 3 CUP Some

and a bigger salary for Ty Cobb and
iris Speaker. the oralists. as they
refer TO the men who make bets
on tho tracks established the New
ork Giants as the favorite TO win
the National League pennant.
Al that time the Giants had a
great lnfiold. a great outfield. a
great pitching staff that didn't worry
John McGraw too much and a
catching staff that was spotty but
promising with recruits.
Ty Cobb. Who hadn't spoken 10
McGraw in years since y series OF
disorders during an exhibition trip
between the Giants and the Detroit
Tigers, was obliged to visit Sarasota,
Fla, some days ago. Cobb went TO
the park where the Giants We're
training. He shook hands with Nc
Graw and they turned out to be
great friends.
THAT infiold ont there, John"
Cobb said. lis 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 second,
Travis jackson at short and Freddy
Lindstrom at third base,
Cobb remarked that he had seen
the famous infield OF the Boston
Red Sox. the million dollar comhin-
alton that Connie Mack, had once
and the famous Tinker to Evers
to Chance trio and that he figured
the Giants combination the best.
The outfield at that time on pa
per was Pep Young in right field
Eddie Roush in Centerfield and one
Of a. dozen worthless in left field i
looked like an outfield almost as
good as Detrolt's-and Detroit naver
has been without a great outfield.
But since then Pep Young has
been lost for d season al least.
Roush is holding out for the many
reasons he always has for holding
out and the Giants haven't regu-
lar working left fielder.
Young, one of the greatest out
fielders of the day, can't play this
sea ;on. He is in a critical condition
in hospital in San Antonio suffer-
ing from Brigh'ts disease and it is
doubtful that he ever will be able TO
play baseball again if he RECEIVERS.
Roush says he will not play with
the Giants unless he gets Babe Ruth
money but Roush will he 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 Bevo lie Bourveau in left field
and that trio is not a 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 superlatives,
The Giants, with those bad breaks
even before the season stars, do not
look like an odds on tavorite TO
win
But as the Giants hustlers say
