EXPECTS GIANTS
 ID WIN TENANT
McGraW Planning to Have
 Strong Team in Race

New York, Jan. 2 Pl-Barring some sling and arrow practice by outrageous misfortune. John Mc- Graw believes the New York Giants will have considerable to say before the National league's 1928 cham pions are crowned.
 Tho Giants had lot of luck last year but it was mostly bad. Injuries during the early part of the season kept haseball's "Napoleon'' busy trying to devise some sort of liue- up that could keep him from being left at the post before the race really got under way. Finally the jinx departed and the McGrawmcn started an upward climb that threat cned to bring both ma jor league pen- nants 10 New York. The drive came too late. however. and tho Giants were forced 10 trail both Pittsburgh and st. Jouis.
 Probably considering himself lucl5y 10 finish as high as third place. McGraw began his plans for the 1928 campaign. The addition of Lefty O'Doul. crack Coast League out folder. and of flock Of new pitch CTS have given the Giants "paper power" that seems tho equal of that Of any of their rivals.
 Tn Terry. 1Iornsby, Jackson "nd Iindstrom, McGraw has one of tho best inGelds in the league. The two "Andys"-Reesc and Cohen are the principal reservists. Cohen starred in inc International league last summer while Reese was filling in at third base for McGraw. The other infielders include Baxter Jor- dan ot Charlotte. x. C.. and C. R. Crawford GreenviIlc. \. C.
 With Harper and Eonsh as two sure starters. McGraw is depending upon O'Doul 10 fill out his quota of fy-chasers. Once a pitcher with the Yankees. O'Doul experienced q change of heart and took mp the business Of snarins flies and hitting them far and often. He comes i'd tho Giants from San Francisco. The other outficlders include Leslie
 
 Mann. that terror of Southpaws. Art Jahn. once with the Chicago Cubs. and Melvin Ott. pinch hitter eXtraor- dinary.
 Indications arc that the chief burden on the mound will be carried by Larry Benton. who led the league on a won and lost basis la year Rurlcieh Grimes. Fred 17itzsinmons and Virgil Barnes. McGraw hopes to develop at least one nor" start ing hur|er from among Dutch Henry. Ben Cantwell. Jacksonville right handcr: Lefty" Faulkner, Toronto star. Fill Walker. Denver south paw. and Arthur Johnson. purchased from Norfolk All of these saw service during the latter part of thc 1927 campaign.
 With Al Devormcr released. N looks like Zach Taylor and Jack Cummings will divide the catching duty. although Alfred Spohrer. a highly touted lad from Wilkes Barre. joins the team in the spring.

MEET FOR CHANCE
 ID FIGHT 1UNNEY
Jack Sharkey and Tom HRnsy
 Battle Friday at Garden

New York, Jan. l? R,-The chase for an opponent to box Gene Tunney in lightheavyweight chamnionship bout goes on this week with Jack Sharkey, Boston Lithuanian, tilting against Tom Heeney of New Zealand at Madison Square Garden Friday night in tryout fora challenger.
 Promoter Tex Rickard, who holds Tunney's contract to select rival, made known today that he hopes to reach d decision immediately after the fight. For the present. Rickard is going ahead with plans to stage the big spectacle at the Yankee Sta dium in September.
 Rickard said he might conduct another heavyweight championship affair in Chicago where influential parties have been after him to re- turn.'
 Tunncy is due 10 leave here to- morrow for brief visit to Dover Hall in Georgia and from there he will continue to Miami to start training. The champion was invited to remain for the Friday battle.
 AS Rickard will leave after the Sharkey- fight for golfing party with Tunney in Florida. an announcement Of arrangements for the big fight will probably come from Miami.
 The Madison Square Garden pro- moter is to confer with Jack Demp- sey in New York early next month at which time the Manassa mauler is expected to definitely settle his in tentions for another attempt to re- gain the crown,
 Rickard has taken the attitude that if Tunncy wants to fight twice this year he will put on two bouts. The winner of the Sharkey-Heeney struggle may be pitted against Tun- ney without the formali,y of facing Dempsey who would be held over for the fall title match.
 George Courtney, Oklahoma mid dleweight, opposes Jess Strineham of Salt Lake City in the main ten round bout at the st. Nicholas arena here tonight.

The regular team of factory league players failed to put in an appearance. and in their place Manager Dave Ahlgren of the Luth- erans sent in collection of young players who were outweighed by about 80 pounds 10 the man and who were expected to do nothing more than become meek victims Of the Bethany quintet.
 But the youngsters. with "Oskic" Erickson 10 steady and direct them, sprang a tremendous surprise and defeated their opponents by 2S23 in the closest game of the evening. During the first half Dave Swanson of the Bethany team scored four field goals and aided his team as it piled Aip a l6-l2 lead. but this melt ed away as the kids staged a won- derful comeback in the second half. The accurate shooting Of N. Benson land long shots by him and H. BcDgt- son. coupled with the excellent floor work of Erickson and Larson's $ guarding. proved too much for the Bethany team. which gradually lost it's hold and finally dropped to the rear in the closing two minutes of play.
