 United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, Jan 1S.-(UP)-I had fully intended carrying an in- teryiew with Primo Carnefa today in which would be revealed the state of Primo's papa's rheumat- ism. how such a massive stomach could weather an Atlantic crossing, and if there was any truth to the reports that he is about to take nuto himself a wife.
 But that will have to wait, for couldn't find Primo. Half an hour after he ambled down the gang plank of the Conte Di Savoia into the arms of his lawyer, he disap- peared into the great maw of the city. He wasn't anywhere. The Garden folks hadn't seen him. Neither had Bill Duffy, his Ameri- can manager. After I had inquired of everybody remotely connected with him, l started asking people on the street if they had seen Primo. But nobody had seen him.
 So. figuring that if l couldn't find such a large object as Primo to in- terview there was no sense in look ing for anybody else, gave up. As a result today's thesis will deal with the New York Giants, those amazing young men who fooled everybody, including Brother Bill Terry, by winning the baseball championship of the world last year.
 A study of the roster just issued by the Giants front office shows that Brother Terry figures there's no sense in attempting to improve on perfectin, and so will take prac. tically the same club south in 1884 that won the world series in 1888 There'll be plenty of argument both pro and con, as to Terry. wisdom.

 The cons are certain to argue that Terry should have made deal. for heavy hitters. He is foolish te expect his pitchers to have another year as red-hot as they did in 1883 and should have made a deal ol two to bring in a few substantial hitters. The pros will answer by saying that man can't be blamed for standing pat on a club which won the National league pennant handily, and the world series ever more handily.
 Which school of thought is cor. rect? As man who hasn't beer correct himself since he picked grant to take Richmond, I'd side with Terry. For the simple reason tha tthe Giants are liable to ge | even better hurling this year thar last. Hubbell, with raise of some $5,00O and the confidence gained by an all-winning season, certainly won't be any worse, and stands tt be a lot better. Lively ball or n, lively ball.
 The same goes for Hal Schu macher. Prince Hal turned in 1! wins last year when he wasn't al together sure of his own ability Now he knows he's good, and i wouldn't be surprising to see hin break into the 20-game class, tn, point where pitching royalty be gins.
 And I'd bet hat that Roy Par malee wins 20 for the Giants mex season. This strapping youngste won 15 games last year despite tn fact that your guess was as goo, as his as to where his next pitcl was goign. Blessed with as much or more, natural ability than an, pitcher in either league, all h needs to burn up the league is con trol. And he's about due.
 So, figuring Hubbell for 2 games. and Schumacher and Par melee for 20 each, the rest of tn Giant staff will have to bring il only some 25 games to assure tn Giants of being up in the money Ihey won the pennant on 91 game last year, you remember.
