M'GRAW HAS FLAG
VISION ONCE MORE
Thinks Giants, With Better
Hurting, Will Be Factors
in Title Chase.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

N YEW YORK, February 12.-It is
no yelled secret that John
NJ 'McGraw, manager of the
4 Giants, thinks he has team
with championship possibilities
for the 1929 base ball race.
First he relies upon his pitching
staff. Larry Benton and Fred Fitz-
simmons particularly please him and he
thinks that Joe Genewich will work out
better this year. .Genewich Is now
more familiar with New York and the
kind of game that New York plays.
McGraw has expectations of success
with his left handlers and altogether
believes that he has a pitching staff
nearer the standard of the chaps who
were with him when he first began to
win pennants in New York.
For some seasons he had pitchers with
who he mould alternate regularly and
who were so seldom batted Off the plate
that they went on like machinery.
Strong at Third Base.
He also has a good third baseman in
McGraw once said that no team could
win pennant without high type
third baSeman. That he claimed was
one position where the man had to
make good. The other players were
too far away to back him up much.
The Giants have a good third base
man, a shortstop Of the type they had
when they won remnants in the past
a second baseman not SO good as the
old time second baSeman, and an
average first baSeman. In many ways
1t is the same type of team that
McGraw has in the past led to victory
The Cubs In going to Spring camp
early are taking piece out of the Giant
book, but 1t is not from observation
alone. Joe Mccarthy. the Chicago man.
ager, like McGraw, Is less inclined to
theory than to follow what he has
learned by practice. He is another OF
the managers who is sure that a team
cannot win the championship, except
at very scattered intervals, without be-
ginning with pitching staff on which
the manager can place reliance. His
experience with the Cubs has shown him
that.
Must Get Winning Habit.
Very likely when Rogers Hornsby
talked over his contract and the bust
ness Of 1929 with Mccarthy he also
favored getting in action as early as
possible. Hornsby likes to see a team
start from Spring training quarters as
it is apt to play throughout the season
When Hornsby won the championship as
manager at st. Louis, he had his team
selected before he left San Antonio and
when that team buckled down and
began to play, the members of it were
as eager to win Spring exhibition games
as they were to win regular games
That's the kind of team that McGraw
wants in the Springtime even If he
does not always get it.

i i and 1t Is unquestionably just
that. It is the hardest to
execute properly and the most beau
tiful to watch.
Primarily a British shot, because
sweeping winds that whip the Eng
fish courses demand low, hard-hit
irons to bore through them. 1t is
just as potent scoring factor on
this side of the ocean.
I play this shot with the inter-
locking grip. The first finger Of the
left hand Is over the little finger of
the right, with the thumb down the
shaft. The grip Is tight. which helps
in overcoming a tendency to take
the club too far back. My feet are
fairly close together.

low trajectory and terrific spin.

If heavier-than-air craft are to carry 50, 70 or 100 passengers comfortably anu safely. some naw means of lifting such loads must be discovered by aesodynam.c ex- perts.
 Burnelli's new 20 passenger plane is the latest achievement in the development of the fuselage to obtain lift ability from that rela- lively parasitic section.
 German designers are projecting the development of huge passenger carrying planes in which passen- gers will be assigned to luxurious compartments in the wings. The wing sections" would be several feet thick and provide ample cell ing room. The engines would be on the leading edge Of the wing, appearing much like the two en- zines in the nose of Burnell's new plane. Eight, 10 or 12 engines would be used.

 sue for Sewers

Ten thousand dollars worth of municipal sewer bonds will he placed on the local market March I, 1t was determined by the City Council at a special meeting aeld at Council Chambers in the City hall last night. A resolution to this effect, introduced by Council man Walter P. Scott, passed unan- imously.
 This is one-sixth of the issue ap- proved by the voters at a special election held here last May. when a S60.000 sewer bond carried by an overwhelming majority. Work was done on the sewer system throughout the year. $9.000 In round figures being expended for that purpose. The money was taken out of the general fund as it was not considered advisable at that time to offer the bonds for sale. The proceeds of the pres ent sale will be used to reimburse the general fund account.
