TERRY ASSERTS GIANTS ARE TO REPEAT VICTORY
De clares Most Effective Team in League Won
 .lo33 Title
By BILL TERRY Manager New York Giants)

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, April 5. Anyone who is still skeptical about the ability of the New York Giants to play championship base ball, consistently, doesn't know this club the way I do.
 I mean that we won the pen nant and the world series last year because we were the most effec- tive team in either league. Sure, we won lot of close games and we had real fight on our hands nearly all the way, but we met every challenge, we came through when the going was toughest and we outplayed them all.
 What more can anyone ask?
 I have no hesitation in saying the Giants are an ever better ball club this year and that we expect to win the pennant again, per haps even more decisively than we did in 1883. That may sound like I'm boosting too much before the games begin to count, but I'm not I have been in baseball too long for any stuff of that kind. I know this team, and I think by now should have a pretty fair idea of what I can do.
 No Argument on Pitchers I don't think anybody will ar que with me when I say we have the best pitching staff in baseball There's only one Hubbell in either league. In addition to Schumachel Parmalee and Fitzsimmons, the other regular starters last season Watson Clark looks ready for a comeback, and I have so many good Looking pitchers that it's go- ing to be tough letting any oi them go.
 Salveson, Smith, Shores ano Bowman all have shown me a lot of stuff, and we can't get along without our two star relief men Old Man Luque and Herman Dell I'll keep ten pitchers, if necessary and let the other teams do the worrying.
 The only bad break we have had this spring is Gus Mancuso's ill., ness, but we are lucky at the same time to have a great young catcher
The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-04-05

in Paul Richards to take over the No. l job behind the bat until Gus returns to action.
 Jackson at Shortstep
 think we have the best infield in the league, and our hitting will be heavier if Travis Jackson keeps up the sensational comeback that has given him the call over Blondy Ryan at short this spring Ryan did a great job for us last season, and he will be ready to step in any time, but when Jack son is in shape he happens to be the best shortstop in baseball Ap- parently his knees now are as good as ever, fully recovered from the operation on them nearly a year and half ago
 Our outfield is the defensive class of the league Moore, Davis and Ott will hit harder with the new ball, and I hope to add Is or 20 points to my own average. Fellows like Grantham and O'Doul will do lot of damage for us in the pinces with their bats
 It's a race between Hank Leiber, a great young slugger, and Homer Peel for the remaining outfield substitute job and question as to whether we can keep Fresco Thompson, with Grantham able to do utility work at either first or second. Otherwise we are set and we will be rarin' to go.

APPEAL MADE
 TO BOYS FOR
 B. B. CAREER
Knot-Hole Club Is Reds Idea of Attracting
 Local Youngsters
By ELLIS RAWNSLEy

CINCINNATI. Ohio, April 5.- The 1884 rejuvenation of the Cin- cinnati Reds involves drastic and far-reaching measures for appeal ing to the younger element, hence
 The "Knot-Hole Club" an or ganization expected to embrace some 50,000 boys and about 500 junior baseball teams that should just about fill every vacant lot in Cincinnati
 Redland officials and leaders in boyhood recreation here are back ing the movement. The kids will get to see the big league games here and cheer their heroes-Ha- fey, Bottomley, Piet, Comorosky, the Johnsons, Bob OFarrell and the rest. They will receive in struction in the rudiments of the game from Zealand regulars.
 They'll even get chance to play in the big leaguers' park here when the Reds are travelling.
 General Manager Larry Mac Phail of the Reds has been a prime mover in formation of the Knot Hole Club" and Powel Crosley, Reds President, is honorary pres ident of the kid brigade Eppa Jeppa Rixey, veteran pitcher, who recently retired from the mound, is also an official.
 A. E. Roberts, Boy Scout execu- tive, says he expects 30,000 boys to be enrolled by the time the big league season opens. Members. he says, must be between the ages Of g and 16, must have parental per- mission, be O. K.'d by their school teacher and never let baseball-or any other sport, lure them into playing hockey.
 Plans for the baseball clinic thus far are indefinite but elaborate. The lads will be schooled at Red land field, under the eyes of Red regulars. Members of the Reds will play alongside youngsters in demonstration games, and their helpful comments will be broadcast by a public address system for the benefit of other young 'uns in the stands.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March 5.-One of the most bothersome of the fixed overhead costs of the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League is dirt.
