Giants. McGraw said last year Larry
would be another MathcwsOn. This
year will tell.
san Antonio. Tex. March Q OP>-
This is the year that will decide
whether Larry Benton will rate a
place with the pitching greats Of all
time.
The No. ranking pitcher Of the
National League last season, Benton
hurled his way into the heart OF his
boss. John McGraw. Before the sea-
son was half over, the Giants man
ager was referring to Larry as the
greatest he had seen since the days
Of Christy Mathewson. Another

high honors.
Benton won IS games and last 8
in 1928. He worked in A. contests
and pitched % complete games, fin
ishing the season with 80 innings
OF box work to his credit. He had
an earned run average of o.73.
The Giants star hung up the pho
nomenal record of finishing every
game he started until along toward
the closing weeks Of tho season when
his arm began to tire under the
strain.
1t was Benton's work that enabled
the Giants 10 make race of it right
up until the closing series of tho sea-
son. If he could have mustered
more help earlier in the pcnnant
fight, his club might have been out
in front at the finish.
Larry was one of those choice
pickups from Boston for which the
Giants have become famous, com
ing here in a trade in June, 1927.
he began to win consistently, where
as he had been a fifty-fifty pitcher
with the Braves. Benton finished the
1927 season with II victories and
seven defeats. In his previous yeal

De Rivera to Resign,
Reports State

PARIS. Feb. S.-Persistent rumors
declare that the fascist regime OF
Spain is profoundly shaken by the
revolt which. while it began in the
army, was led by reactionary of
ficers who are as great enemies OF
the Spanish masses as Primo de
Rivera, reused the masses to unmis-
taxable evidence of deep hatred
against the dictatorship.
Because of its threatening aspect,
mass discomfort has forced the mon
archy to demand that de Rivera re-
tire as plan to head off further
revolutionary Developments. de Ri
vera's post to be filled by some other
reactionary general. The man rum
ored, though little likely to take his
place is La Cierva, politician OF the
old constitutional regime.
The revolutionary press of Paris
gives a definite idea, through their
connection with the Spanish Com
munist refugees from the fascist ter
ror, of the deep going nature of the
present turmoil in Spain. az Vie
Oviere," organ of the Unitary Trade
Unions, the French section of the
Red International of Labor Unions,
comments on the admission of the
French reactionary paper journal
des Debats" that de Rivera is a po-
litically discredited ruler. 1t says;
"We agree with the 'Debats' in
saving that the dictatorship is
wounded to death. There is proof
that the dictatorship is profoundly
hated"
The organ of the Communist
Party of France, "Humanite," also
commenting upon the admission Of
"Debats," says:
"That great capitalist daily would
not have expressed itself as it did,
were not the Spanish dictatorship
threatened, neither would the Daily
Mall of London, have advised Cen
eral Primo de Rivera that he should
retire, if his days were not already
numbered"
The Communist organ concludes
by saying that only a united front
of the Spanish proletariat will be
able to free Spain from the fascist
dictatorship, thus indicating that the
