SAN ANTONIO, March 20-DP-
Behind with their training schedule
and smarting from Justly licklngs
a. the hands Of a supposedly weak
er club. John McGraw and his
performing Giants are not in a
happy frame Of mind as they pre-
pare to wind up their spring Ia
bours here.
Just around the corner. so TO
speak, is a National League Cam
paign, and the McGraTmen are
not ready. First. there was q bump
er 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.
Beaten
AS a fitting climax. the New
York entry has been taking Il on
the chin with alarming regularity
IN practice bouts with the Chicago
White Sox, who apparently have
thYived on Texas weather. The
fact might lot be important at this
stage, but the Gothamites caught
three hearty beatings and were
held to an thinning tie before they
finally achieved a victory over the
windy city delegation.
There Is consolation for the vet
eran pilot, however, In the premise
that no team IS good as his can
20 on being bad forever. Except
for what has come TO be an an
nual pain in the region Of second
base, the Giants appear TO be a
thoroughly healthy organization.
They had enough TO finish third
4 the last race, the club certainly
no weaker.
Eddie Marshall. youngster who
compiled a .3l6 batting average with
Bridgeport last year. appears ready
to plug that vexatiouS gap at sec
ond. He and Andy Reese, who es-
saved the task most Of last year,
have waged a lively scrap for q
month, with Marshall holding an
edge.
