GIANTS IN FORM
FOR NAT. RACE
McGraw Has His Club Co
ing Good; Reese Cinch-
es Second Base
~ BY BRIAN BELL
Associated Press Sports Writer

{ SAN ANTONIO, Texas, March
2e.@P)-The New York Giants be-
lieve they will live up to their
names in the approaching National
league race. The players confident
1y expect to be the head men in the
baseball show and there seems to
be some ground for their conf
dence.
Manager John McGraw's outfit
seems definitely stronger than the
1923 cast which was good enough
to finish runner-up to the cham
pion st. Louis Cardinals. Perhaps
the most encouraging single item IN
the Giants new prospectus is q
greatly improved Andy Reese. Last
season the Tupelo flash hit well
while serving as outfielder, third
baseman and second baseman, but
his defensive status was undeter-
mined at the end of the season.
Infield Good
Overnight Reese has developed
into a capable and possibly great
second baseman and is hitting
harder than ever. His almost phe-
nomenal improvement rounds out
an effective infield combination for
Bill Terry, Travis Jackson and Fred
Lindstrom have been tried and
proven. Standing by for emeregen-
cies will be Andy Cohen and Pat
Crawford and possibly Baxter Jor-
dan. Crawford and Jordan, grad
yates Of Toledo, a play anywhere
and hit any time.
Manager McGraw has his 1928
pitching staff intact and expects
Carl Hubbell, who joined the
Giants late in the season, to de-
clare dividends on his experience
gained under major league fire.
Hubbell will be a starting pitcher
with Larry Benton, Fred Fitzsinl-
mons, Joe GeneWich and Dutch
Henry, a southpaw who seems to
have regained his earlier form.
Carl Mays. the veteran ~underhand
performer, may join the group. as
his arm has recovered at least a
part of its old cunning. John
Scott another veteran, will be a
valuable man in relief roles and
Curly Ogden has shown we'll in the
spring.
Roush in Form
Manager McGraw is holding his
final outfield assignments in abey-
Hnce, with q possible arrangement
calling for shifts against right ard

Club Keen; To Play
Game Soon
(SpeciaI to The Herald)


SAN BENITO, March 20.-Com-
petition for regular berths on the
newly organized Central Power and
Light Company baseball team IS
going to be keen according to Cap
tain Lew Williams, at the close Of
the first practice held on the San
Benito baseball field yesterday.
Twenty-Five men reported and a
wealth Of fast infield and outfleld
material started limbering up Tor
the season. Among the oldtimers
reporting were Lawrence, Cunning
ham, Bailey, Albright, Higgins. and
Marshall, while several fast new
comes showed promise with such
men as Fairless. Gallagher. st.
John, Johnson, Taft, Adams. Wood.
Gray, Scott and several others each
OF them men Of baseball experience.
Several challenges have been re-
ceived and will be attended to
promptly Mgr. L. F. Boiling stated.
The Los Fresnos team has asked for
a game in the near future and it is
probable that a practice game will
be arranged with them within the
next ten days. The Brownsville
Palm Hatters has asked for a game
in the next few days and as sooon
as we can get organized we will
take them on" Boiling said.
It will require several days to get
the local diamond in shape for good
baseball as there IS considerable
leveling to be done, Boiling says.
Uniforms and other equipment will
be secured in the near future so
that within the next fifteen to
thirty days the team will be ready
to meet all corners.

CLOSE SCORE is EXPECTED
In CONTEST ON TUESDAY
Business.Tech, LandOn- w OOdward and ST. John's
Gonzaga Tits Listed for Friday-Hoya Props
Play Swaverly Saturday.

Stenogs have been unable to score so
far in the series, while their opponents
have been piling up 118 points. It
does seem that this is one game which
Coach Hap Hardell of the Mckinley
eleven cannot view with alarm" At
that, though, it is not expected that the
Tech mentor will take undue chances
and probably he will start his first
stringers.
Thus far Tech has defeated Eastern,
II to 2; Central, IL to 6, and Western,
ID to 0. Business has bowed to West
ern. Al to O.; Central, 81 to o, and
Eastern, As to 0.
Fine battling is expected to mark
the st. John's-Gorzaga game Friday.
st. Johns, with sturdy eleven for the
first time in recent years, believes it
has a real chance to conquer the Purple
and even scores for former beatingS
at the hands of the Streeters. The
game is scheduled for the new Gonzaga
field on Thirty-fourth street near
Benning road, but If st. Johns au-
thorities have their way it will be
switched to the Griff1th Stadium or the
Eastern Stadium. Such a change, it
is believed, would result in a better
attendance.
Indication that the Vermont Avenue
Scholastics and GonZaga are we'll
matched is seen in the fact that the
Cadets battled Georgetown Prep to a
scoreless tie recently at Garrett Park
and Gonzaga was barely able to down
Georgetown Prep, 6 to O, Friday.
Under Paulie Byrne, who is tutoring
the team for the first time st. Johns
so far has an even break for the sea-
son, having won two games and lost
two. After drubbing George Mason
High, 10 to 0, the Cadets succumbed
to the crack Tech eleven, but only by
7-6 after great fight Then they
hung 1855 FASTING on the Landon
School eleven. and after losing to the
strong La Sale Prep team at Cumber-
Georgetown Prep eleven to a scoreless
draw.
Gonzaga has been victorious three
times in four starts. After scoring over
Business, 81 to 6, and Western, Is to O,
the Purple took 24-6 beating at the
hands of the strong Catholic University
freshmen, but Friday came back to van
quish Georgetown Prep, to 0.
Woodward is favored to win ever
Landon Friday, having a better record.
In four games so far Woodward has
wone one, tied one and lost two. In
scholastics were beaten. 40 to o, by
George Mason High, but in its next
game played q 90 tie with the Frank

to Wolff for a 45-yard gain and first
down on the opposing 25-yard line.
Another such pass placed the ball on
Browns 15-yard line, and Morton adj

off the tackles. johnson hit the Gen.

In the third period, Morton raced 10

ripped of 30 yards on another off,
tackle play. Mccall found the same
spot for IS yards more and Dartmouth
had a first down on Browns 5-yard
line, where Sutton. who replaced john
son, started his drive for the Green's
second touchdown.
Brown cut deeply into Dartmouth's
territory in the fourth period when its
forward passes became effective for
time. This drive ended when Morton
intercepted a pass on his 20-yard line
and punted out of danger. During

Fall when the Blue and White con-
quered the Red and White, to 6, 1t
will be we'll worthwhile. And it prob
ably will be hard fought, judging from
records to date, with Central, perhaps,
something Of favorite.
So far Central has lost to Tech, but
only after a stubborn 1916 struggle, and
has drubbed Business, 81 to 0. The
Blue and White must win to STAY in

flag.
Western, which IS out of the pennant
race, having lost two games while win

to furnish Central a spirited argument,
as the Ahern coached team has been
strengthened by several capable play
ers who heretofore have been ineligible.
After drubbing Business, Al to 0, West
ern fell before Eastern, 38 to 6, and
Tech, IA to 0. Though comparative
scores often do not have deal of
significance, 1t would seem from their
respective Showings against Tech that
Central and Western are rather we'll

Both elevens will present clever
players. The outstanding performer on
each team is the fullback. Fans will
be interested to see just how Larry
Pinckney, Central fullback, stacks up
against Jimmy Draper. who holds down
the same post for Western, and in
addition calls the signals. These players
have been the big guns on offense for
their teams.
Other clever players who will be seen
are George Brandt and Bunnie Casassa,
Central'S crack ends, and Angus
Lamond, Stalwart tackle of the Blue
and White; Ray Willard, fighting half
back and Quincy owens, courageous
and inspirational center of the Western
team.
