Same GIANTS
WILL BATTLE
IN l928R RACE
Little Change Seen In
McG raw's Machine
For Next Years
Marathon
BY BILL RIFT
Staff Writer for Central Press and
The Herald

The Herald
NEW YORK, Jan. Amid the
respectful silence of stalled subway
trains and derailed elevated coach
es. John ]. McGraw, for many years
New York's leading baseball impre-
sario, unveiled his 1928 model Of
the Giants.
No gasp Of delighted surprise
thrilled Broadway nor was ticker
tape cast in abandon from Wall
street skyscraper windows, for the
1928 Giants look a very great deal
like the 1927 model.
The 1927 machine will be remem-
bered for its colorlessness. II was
no championship outfit, nor did 1t
win the championship. The engine
was slow in starting, and when the
Master Mind finally got his outfit
hitting along all cylinders the pa
rade was so FAR ahead the Giants
were out Of it. And right now the
1928 Giants are pretty much the
same team.
Broadway, however, isn't worried.
Broadway believes Muggsy McGraw
some time before the flies begin TO
zoom toward center field, will have
installed a Cobb ignition svs.em
and perhaps a Speaker Transmission
in his 1928 Giant machine.
You Can't Fool Broadway
McGraw hasn't admitted this.
Rather. he has discouraged talk Of
the Giants acquiring the high-pric-
ed Ty and the costly Iris. He has
pointed out that both men ire still
members Of clubs Of another league,
and that as long as they are he has
no business TO make eyes at them
with the view of Turing them to the
Giants.
Broadway knows, or at least
Broadway thinks it knows, that Nc
Graw wants very badly a counter
attraction" to the Yankees great
vaudeville team OF Buster and the
Babe. Giant fans still think that
Cobb and Speaker would make Polo
grounds turnstiles click with much
Of the coin now going to the Yanks.
If the Giants in the main resem-
Bile the Giants Of last season there
are still some parts that are brand
new and some Of these are bright
and shining with much promise.

recently made public, one sees the
NnNG great HaAES " ANRENAS IA0Ah -
BY and Eddie Roush. If those two
boys could by some chance have
their best season next year, the
Giants are the most dangerous team
in the league.
Muggsy's veteran pitchers are Vir-
gil Barnes. Larry Benton, Bill Clark
son, Fred Fitzsimmons, Burleigh
Grimes and Frank Henry. That
quintet is capable OF some prize
pitching.
To this layout of mound talent
McGraw has added Jim Faulkner of
Toronto. Leo Mangum of Buffalo.
Chester Nichols Of Jersey City. Jake
Levy Of Charlotte, n. C., Jess Doyle
Of Toronto and several other highly
touted boys.
Zach Taylor and AL Devormer,
with Jack Cummings, are his veter-
m receivers, but Muggsy has also

rett, acquired from Knoxville.

games, as he leaves college in JAN
uary.
Iowa has made an impressive
early start, but just what the
Hawkeyes will do this season re-
struggling block in Purdue's path to
the championship last year, defeat
ing them twice. This was credited
TO Iowa's stellar defense, but both
Of the star Hawkeye guards, Hogan
and Mcconnell, passed into alumni
ranks last June.
Scholastic difficulties appear ia
have taken the gliinmer off Wiscon-
sins bright hopes with three six
foot center candidates on the side
lines wrestling with scholastic diff
ficulties. KowalcZyk, center last
year, and Miller, giant forward, fail
ed TO pass exams, and Tenhopen,
alternate pivot man, is reported in
trouble with his professors.
Illini Unknown Quantity
Illinois has nothing on paper. but
the Illini has a habit of turning out
dark horse net teams, just like they
do in football. Daugerty, the main
squeeze in the Illini lineup last sea-
son. viii ge missing this year.
Illinois is not the only one to
miss the brilliance of a star this
season, as Ohio State will be with
out the service OF Hunt, second high
scorer last year. His absence will
no doubt be sadly lamented by the
Buckeyes, who must make a rapid
squirt to win fame on the hardwood
this season.
If Chicago holsters up an o~ffense,
the Maroons should rate highly. as
they have q whale Of a defense. Chi
cago still has its husky guards, but
is lacking on the scoring end Of the
game. Minnesota and Northwestern,
who tied for cellar honors last year,
should flash a little more form this
season, bat they cannot seriously be
considered as capable of causing
much Of a stir inside the Big Ten.

Deer hunting Is better in the Lower
Rio Grande Valley this year than it
has been during the past five or six
years. says X. D.. Camp, well known
naturalist and for years a game ward

Camp attributes the better hunt
ing in part to the hunters themselves.

he got up. This time with the

HE PICTURES
PALESTINE AS
HE VIEWED IT

Those who heard Dr. e. E. Violette
last night at the Christian church fo1
the first time realized more fully than
ever the wonderful treat they had been
missing. "The Holy Land and the
Book" was his subject Having tour
ed the land of Palestine several times
he was able to carry his large audi
ence along in his description from city
to city and sfrom ancient land mark tC
her everlasting boundaries as if al
were making the Journey together. Nc
one could have heard his minute de-
scriptions of roads and mountains and
cities and natural boundaries without
being convinced that the Bible is thor
oughly founded on ty.'th.
t The speaker said in substance: ''Any
one can take the Bible today and fol-
low it as a guide without any one tt
accompany him and can find cities
reads, valleys and prominent places
every one just as they are described in
holy writ.
why did God choose the Jewish
race or nation through which the
Christ should Gomez" asked Dr. Vio-
! lette. Because" said he, ''it was the
age. Other ancient races passed of
the stage and out of existence utterly
The Babyllonians, Medes, Persians
PhCenicians, GreecianS, Romans and
Egyptians have been completely de-
stroyed or lost their identity, and there
is not man on earth who can trace
one drop of blood in his body back tC
any of the nations mentioned. But
what about the Jewish race? There
are something like 100000 orthodox
Jews today that can trace their lineage
back to Abraham, which is wonderful
evidence verifying the promised truth
of God"
DR.. Violette' told about his disap-
pointment when he first saw the Jor-
dan river, but later was amazed when
he went to its source in the vicinity OF
Mount Hermon 1900 feet above sea
level, and he followed it's course 153
miles as a crow flies, or 252 actual
flow, in a canoe to the Dead sea where
it is 600 feet below sea level. He then
remarked that if one should ask the
school boy today what is the Oldest
city in the world he would say, 'Da-
mascuS" "But Damascus is not the
oldest city in the world" said DR.. Vio-
lette. "It is Bethlehem where Christ
was born, and the next is Jerusalem.
It was first called Salem, then after
wards Jerusalem. The third oldest is
Nazareth
In closing his message, DR.. Violette
said, "I went to Palestine believing
the book but came away knowing it is
true"
He will speak today at 10:45 a. m. on
the subject, "The Unchangipg Christ" "
His subject at 1880 p. m. will be "If
Jesus Christ Be Not Divine, Then
What?" s-4A.4>
He asked all to read Hebrew 1, in
the morning and Matt. 16 for the eve
ming.

MELLON URGES
EXCISE TAX Be
RETAINED IN ACT

NEW YORK, jan IA tR)-Andrew j.
Mellon, secretary of the treasury, to-
day urged retention of excise taxes as
a safeguard against a sErinkage in
governmental revenue when a slowing
up of prosperity may reduce incomes
and taxes derived from this source.
cit is for this reason that the treas
ury has opposed the elimination of
such excise taxes as those on automo-
biles and admissions" he told the
womens national republican club at
its seventh anniversary luncheon.
"It is easy and popuar," he said, "to
slash taxes, particularly those which
have q general application and are
widespread in their appeal, Both the
treasury and congress are in agree
ment in wanting to reduce taxes to the
greatest extent consistent with the
revenue needs Of the government. But

RABBIT DRIVE
TO BE RENEWED
NEXT SATURDAY

There will be- another rabbit drive
at the Whitewater school next Sat-
.urday. This was announced yester-
day after the end of the drive when
400 rabbits were counted out OF the
running. The drive yesterday was
started on such short notice that
few went out from Douglas and there
were not enough drivers to run the
rabbits into the corral.
The few who did attend the drive
reported great sport and the farmers
fof the district expressed their appre-
citation for the cooperation in killing
the pests. 1t is estimated, however,
that thousands of rabbits got away
because of the thinness OF the line
of beaters.
The committee in charge is MAX
ing a campaign to secure large
number for the drive next Saturday
so that all the rabbits scared up
will be herded into the corral. The
drivers report plenty of rabbits and
the farmers are anxious to rid the
district of as many as possible before
planting their early crops
The rabbits taken IN q rabbit drive
are jack rabbits, as the cotton tails
run into holes and ravines and are
passed by. The little fellows, how
ever, are not such menace to the
farmers as there are not so many
of them and they do not eat as
much as the big jacks do.
