BY GAYLE L b JR.

San Antonio. Tex. Mar. 2O.-(P-
Behind with their training schedule
and smarting from a series of lusty
lickings at the hands of a supposedly
weaker club, John McGraw and his
Giants are not in a happy frame of
mind as they prepare to wind up
spring labors.
Just around the corner, SO to speak,
is q National league campaign, and
the McGraw men are not ready. First.
there was a bumper crop of hOldOutS,
and the big guns struggled in slowly.
That made John j. fretful. Then the
weather became capricious, and the
boys have taken too many of their
workouts on the overstuffed interior
furniture.
Chisox Too Successful
AS a fitting climax, the New York
entry has been taking it on the chin
with alarming regularity in practice
bouts with the Chicago White Sox.
Except for what has come to be an
annual pain in the region of second
base the Giants appear to be a thor
oughly healthy organization. Eddie
Marshall appears ready to plug that
gap at second. He and Andy Reese,
who essayed the task most of last
year, have waged a lively scrap for
a month, with Marshall holding an
edge.
Big Bill Terry. who whaled the ball
at q .372 clip last year, and threw in
IA home runs for good measure,
leaves little to be desired at first. and
Travis jackson and Freddie Lind
strom are, of course, fixture at short
and third.
Melvin OFT, the versatile ''boy won-
der" who cracked ITO hits including
AZ homerS last year, again may be ex-
pected to supply the big punch in the
Giant outfield. Chick Tullis and Fred
Leach, other members of last years
fly chasing corps, did no hitting to
speak Of. A trio Of newcomers who
may put additional power in the outer
works are Johnny Mostil. obtained
from the White SoE, and Sam Leslie
and George Fisher, smuggling recruits
from Memphis and Buffalo.
Pitchers Are Satisfactory
Although his chuckers have been
slow to attain top form, McGraw is
untroubled about that department.
In Carl Hubbell and Bill Walker he
has a pair of the niftiest southpaws
in the business, and Larry Benton.
Fred Fitzsimmons, Joe Genewich and
old John Scott are veterans who can
be depended upon for a bundle of
wins if they get a fair share of the
breaks.
Among the most promising of the
youngsters seeking a place on the
payroll are Joe Heving. bought from
Memphis; Jim Tenant, a big fire
