PUNCH, FIGHT GONE,
GIANTS HEAD SAYS
Finds Players Are Not So
Serious as When He Was
Starring in Game.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
~ ANSAS CITY, April T.
K White-haired John Nc
IN Graw, SO years old today,
believes base ball has lost
much of the punch and aggres-
siveness that he has exemplifed
during AZ years as a fiery player
and manager.
THE ball is the same size, bases
are the same distance apart as
they were when I first started in
base ball." he explains, "but the
game isn't played as aggressively."
McGraw. reputed to be Sos, ,O0O-a-
year manager, puts the blame on money.
Men used to play ball without ask
ing what their salaries were; now they
want to know what they're going to
get before they'll put on a uniform"
McGraw said. It's the same with COL
lege players-it's how much can I get
out Of it?"
Players Not So Serious
when I first played-back in 1890
as a not-very-good third baseman-1
got $40 a month. I went TO the big
leagues at 1,400 a season, was raised
to 81 500 and thought was doing we'll.
The players don't take the interest now.
They're not as serious as they used
to be-
They have automobiles and spend
as much time as possible away from the
ball park. We used to go to the park
in the morning. stay all day and not
go home to lunch"
Ad Brennan. former Philadelphia
pitcher, fought with McGraw over
something long ago and Brennan, now
living in Kansas City. was reported to
be looking for McGraw yesterday
quite amicably.
Looking for me, is he? I don't want
to see Ad Brennan. That all happened
years ago, and it's all over" McGraw
said. Brennan wrote to me last Sum-
mer-but it's too late now"
After 80 years with the Giants, Nc
Graw hopes to continue in base ball
the rest Of his life, but added with
twinkle in his eye, IT don't know how
tive physically as I was few years
ago."
The 1882 race? We've got good
club and We'll be hard to beat with
luck. You can't tell anything from
that game with Detroit, because we had
been on the train three days coming
from California" The Detroit Tigers
beats the Giants here yesterday, to /.
THE Cardinals are the team to beat
in the National League" McGraw went
on. 'I look for the Giants to be right
there, too I don't say we'll win, but
We'll be hard to beat"
After a series of games in Detroit the
Giants will arrive in New York next
Sunday night.

the leaders in the minor events yester-
day. Hartman and Ehrle, Detroit, lied
for sixth position in the doubles with a
total of 1926, on games Of 403, 460 ana

perience by the Nationals rockies.
Mike Delaney, the Chicago youngster,
and Bob Friedrich, the boy from
Cincinnati, both righhanders. were
slammed all over the South by the
Knoxville hitters and Johnson's band
took 1873 lacing.
Bob was too nervous to find the
catcher and the plate. He chucked 4
wild pitches, gave bases on balls,
allowed 10 hits in six innings and 9
runs, 2 Of them over the fence. Mike.
taking up the task In the seventh, gave
up hits and runs. He walked 3 and
yielded 2 triples
But it was one of those days when
the minor leaguers felt they were good
and they never let down for an instant.
Two Smoke hurlers. Gearin and Smith.
vet and youngster, held our side
to dozen hits.
Though the Smokes played a terribly
cratic game, totaling 6 errors, most Of
which gave runs the Nationals could
not help themselves.
Buddy Myer, whose batting has been
sensational down IN the training belt,
got 3 for 4, / sizzling two-bagger in
the opening inning
Everybody got turn at bat, including
Eddie Ainsmith, the coach, but nothing
could stem the wallops the minor
leaguers were getting from the Wash

other stars, is heavy praise and a heavy
responsibility.
The Yanks' success depends on the
pitching, for with 1.067 runs for new
record in 81, McCarthys club Is not
worried over the offenSe. The new m
fielders may not dazzle against big
league pitching, but Lazzeri had long
games at short hit 280 under his first
two years in the majors. The infleld,
with Gehrig as the mighty punch.
should hit as least as we'll as year ago.
The loss of johnson after an appen-
dicitis operation will hurt the pitching
staff, but no more than George Pipgras'
absence in 1881 for the same reason.
Pipgras, a fine hurler and shutout
specialist in 80, didn't win a game
till June Is last season and won only
seven all year He's in fine trim now,
as is also Rufing, who had three nu
sieges last season before Midsummer
and never hit his stride. Gomez may
Dip a little from his great debut, but
is definitely winning fast-ban pitcher.
Rhodes finished strong last Fall and
the indestructible Pennock has trained
brilliantly through the recent weeks,
promising another leisurely and crafts
manlike pitching season.
Ruth Is again a question mark. He
manages to get hurt for a spell each
eeason. Here's hoping he has better
luck this time and maintains his thun-
derous hitting. Combs is fine early
season hitter-he hit in Fl consecutive
games last April and May-and last
year he drove in SIS runs In 135 games,
proving he's not through. Chapman's
brace In fielding skill helps lot, and
he has hit well In the South.
No team with Ruth, Gehrig and
Chapman, among others, can be kept
OF the bases. Its up TO the pitchers.
