MOBILE, Ala. March 19.-There Is
second edition of Babe Ruth, the
King of Swat. training down here with
the Louisville club of the American AS
ISOLATION. The second edition has not
as yet produced copy OF Babe Ruth's
home-run record. but maybe ne is on
the way.
This kid player is Is years old and
his name is Meryille. He Is not as big
old high school boy who has ventured
upon class AA base ball or any other
kind of base ball since the day when
Ruth was entered at Baltimore from the
school where he spent his early boy
hood
Meryille bats left-handed, stands like
Ruth and, marvellous to behold, he
swings so much like Ruth that one
could imagine that he has studied the
Ruth pattern. Yet he never has, which
makes his resemblance to Ruth so much
more remarkable.
In one game that Louisville played
against Mobile Merville got in after the
older fellows had served their work.
out The first ball pitched he cracked
to center field for a base hit and the
ball was hit on the midrif with a swing
identical to dot with that of Ruth.
There is no question about the swing.

McCRAW BANKING HEAVILY
ON YOUNG SECOND Stacker
International League Graduate Will Furnish Answer
to Whether Team Is Pennant Contender or
Finishes in the Second Division.

The Giants will carry six outfielders
throughout the season. Eddie RouSh,
who departed from his custom Of years
by joining his colleagues at the train
ing camp. will play center. He probably
will be f1anked by George Harper in
right and Jim Welsh, late Of the Braves,
IN left.
Frank O'Doul. once a pitcher, will
be retained. as will Leslie Mann. who
has long been a source of irritation to
left-han6 pitchers. The sixth outfielder
may be Arthur jain. drafted from Los
Angeles. Charles Fullis. up from Macon
Of the Sally League. has shown promise,
but will hardly become a New York
resident this time
Hogan to Be Worked Hard.
Frank Hogan. procured from the
Braves in the Hornsby trade and ap-
proved by McGraw as one of the great
catchers Of the game in the making
will get his experience by catching
frequently. Hogan is Of a physique
needing hard work. and McGraw has
plenty Of it for him. Jack Cummings,
a hard hitter. will be held in reserve.
and Jumbo Barrett, a home run hitter
in the South Atlantic Association last
year. may bat his way into the third
place. Barrett is a Slugger. but has
something to learn about back-stopping.
The manager is satisfied with his
pitching staff as a whole. although he
has yet to place the individuals under
the microscope. Virgil Barnes, Larry
Benton. Freddy Fitzsimmons, Bill
Clarkson and Frank Henry will be re-
tanned from last years corps. Vic
Aldridge can make the fixtures six If he
wishes. The Giants plan to have only
nine pitchers when the race becomes
earnest. 50 merry scramble will ensue
for the other places.
Two OF the youngsters have made
such good showings that they seem to
have the better Of the argument at the
moment-Bu Walker. southpaw
bought from Denver, and Bill Cantwell,
who was with Jacksonville and Newark
in 1927.
Two huge Ieft-handers. Jim Faulkner.
from Toronto. and Art Hohnson. have
come long way in Spring training.
Stin in the hunt for the place or
places are Chef Nichols. Jack Levy, Ned
Porter, Jim Chaplin. Leo Mangum and
Henry Boney. Only time can tell.
The Giants should get good pitching
and strong batting strength in the
tnheld. outfield and catching depart
ments. But, after all, it's up TO Andy
