BEACH, March SIT is
w an opulent picture into which
the Giants have been tossed for
their spring training. The swank
enveloping the world champions at
their hotel on Biscayne Bay, where
an old-fashioned ball players cap
would cause a temblor, and at their
palm-fringed park once given over
to polo, would have warmed the
heart Of John j. McGraw.
As you know, McGraw transplant
ed the preseason exercises of ma
ior league clubs from Second-rate
boarding houses in tank towns on
the kerosene circuit to hoStelries
where once they met with refusal
and suspicion. With the New YorkS

four days in which, for the first time

The final tilt found big Johnny
Townsend, Tech center in rare
form and he connected with five
field goals and three free throws
for thirteen points, ten in the first
half to aid Tech in gaining 17-8
lead. Two field goals from the CEN
ter of the floor by Stull and four
free throws represented the South
port Cardinals scoring efforts for
the half
Southport Halted
Tech defense was we'll nigh per-
feet in the last half and one field
goal by Schaefer was all that
Southport could get from the field,
the other seven points of the half
coming from the foul line. HUT,
FATS, Townsend and Pagach each
scored three points in the second
half for Tech and WOerner one
free throw.
The big test for the locals, how
ever, came in a Semi-flnal tilt
against Shortridge Saturday after
noon. 1t was in this game that
coach Campbell turned on the
bench and gave a young substitute,
Otha Dobbs, the nod, and waved
him into the fray with his boys be-
hind 11-8 midway Of the third quar-
ter
Sinks Three Fast Ones
That the choice was a wise one
is unchallenged. This mite of lad
had a magic control of the ball.
Three times in succession he fired
at the hoop and each time the ball
swished the net for field goals. BY
this time Tech was in the lead, IA
10, Stevenson having scored a field
goal for the Blue Devils while Dobbs
was on his rampage.
Before the northSiders could re-
cover their composure, big Johnny
Townsend had a field goal and a
free throw added to the total and
Tech led, 17-13, at the three-quar-
ter post A free throw by Dobbs
added another point to Techs to-
tai and then Hobson sent in a char
ity toss and Berns a field goal to
give the losers hope as they pulled
up to 1916.
Hair Delivers
At this point the Tech five cut
loose with some dazzling pass work,
and while Shortridge kept Town
send covered, Hair, another Tech
substitute, slipped beneath the hoop
for two passes from Johnny and
two easy field baskets.
Southport had an easy time with
New Augusta in the other semi
final tilt, leading 1873 at half time
with Schaefer hitting the hoop
from all angles and finally ending
up winners, 1911.

on an island of calm and even pas
toral existence. You see, even if
the Giants were built that way
and as drinkers they are, rank bush
ers-the prices are too steep, ana
nothing is on the cuff. No mat
ter how grand a salary a ball player
gets, the instincts of his minor
league schooling, and recurrent
thoughts about the shortness Of
major league life, make him the
apothesis of financial caution.
No, sir, nothing is given away
around here, and the folks are crazy
about it. Miami Beach, which has
guaranteed the Giants $4,000 for
ten exhibition games, is charging
two bits to watch the boys go
through their daily training exer-
cises. This is an innovation in
baseball and it is hoped that it will
not be picked up at other training
quarters.
Everything is going on big

In 1920 the Cincinnati Reds, who
had risen to a championship in the
soiled series with the Black Sox,
trained in Miami and found the
distraction of the city so engrossing
that they did only meagre training
and finished a poor third. When
William Harold Terry, the big oil
man from Memphis, selected Miami
Beach to train his Giants he was
warned against this metropolis ap-
peal to the light side of life and the
playboy instinct inherent in every
male right up to the age Of 100.
