 New York, Oct 11-(U. P) =
 Working on the theory that no
 cure could be harder to take than last years sickness. the New York
 Giants have started the business of
 rebuilding the baseball team that
 proved such a bitter disappoint-
 ment in the 1882 season.
 The first step came with Man
 ager Bill Terry's announcement that Pitchers Bill Walker and Jim Mooney, Catcher Bob o'Farrell and outfielder Ethan Allen had been swapped to the St Louis Cardinals for Pitcher Ray Starr and Catcher Gus Mancuso.
 This deal, according to Club Sec retary Jim Tierney, lis just the beginning" The Giants, Jim saio' have a good mess of thing brew ing, not only with the Cards put several other outfits.
 Just what these deals are mo- body knows. Built doesn't cost any thing to guess. Our first guess IS that one of the deals involves Hughy Critz, second baseman. We have been informed by one close to the Giants inner circle that while Terry likes the soft-talking Mississippian personally, he doesn't think so much of him as bail- player. It seems that Hugney drops too many throws, both rom his infielders and outfielders, to De offset by his occasional breath-tak- | ing stops and pegs.
 1t also is reported that several or | the Giants consider Critz an av-
 craze player" By average we dont mean ordinary. In basepal! par lance an leverage player" is one who is always thinking about his | fielding percentage and so thinks twice before going after a ball ne
 Jimmy Vergez. third baseman, ana Leonard Koenecke, allegedly hard hitting outfielder, arg others Terry is supposed to be anxious 10
 out loose. He'll probably have to keen VergeZ, however, as the youthful Gilbert English, by Ter rvs own admission, IS not reaoy for big league baseball. There IS chance. however, that Travis Jack son will be switched to third. Jack
 sons injured knee still bothers him
 and may make him too slow TOT
 w Several of the Giants appear safe no matter how hard the tracing
 bee strikes Terry. Bill is particu-
 iarlv sold on Ott, Lindstrom, Moore
 and Hogan. The talk of 9 preak hetween Bill and Lindstrom 10 | strictly the old malarkey. Llno- strom may be disappointed that ne didnt get the club, but he doesn hold any grudge against Terry. :.
 The shipping down the river or waiker and Mooney didn't come as a surprise to those who know the | Giants. Both men are good pitcn- 1 ers. but they had outlived tneir
 nsefuIness in New York uniforms.
 The trade with St Louis lsn
 as lon.sided as 1t appears on nrst
 rIance. O'Farrell is well past ms | prime. And in Mancuso and starr | inc Giants got two young, top notc.1 players. Mancuso, while ne ninved second fiddle to Wilson Tn St Louis. is ready for first strlng
 work He can hit, field and knows | what it's all about.
 Starr went great the few weeks ha was with the Cards this season. Unless our memory IS naywlre, me pitched three games and won tnen ail. And one of these performances was a 10 shutout over Brookiyn. l And 1t takes more goona-s0ona than luck to whitewash those fop- ins. daffy as they are. N
