NUmlte0 FreSS stan C0TreSpOndene) New York, Sept. 24.-(UP)-- Sketches on the New York Giants, prospective National league cham pions:
 Bill Terry-King of the roost. If he can't handle a player he gets rid of him. Playing strictly on his nerve, with knee that swells up like a balloon after every game he plays. Inclined to be surly to every- one except his friends and his ball. players. Has executive complex and seldom makes g mistake where money is concerned. Blue eyes. Getting gray around temples. Last man to leave Polo Grounds every day, sometimes taking an hour to cool of before removing his uni- form. Drinks beer and smokes cigars.
 Sam slie-Bulky fellow from Bayou Belt of Mississippi. Played most of season in adhesive tape be- cause of groin injury. Used to be lifeguard on beach at Biloxi, Miss, and later dabbled in boxing. Wears cap at rakish angle and has . Jim Bottomley strut on field.
 Brainy Bah Player
 Burgess Whitehead-Gradua of Q. of North Carolina, where he was such . brilliant scholar he made Phi Beta Kappa. One of Dizzy Deans closest friends. Worried for days about Dizzy's condition after he hit Dean in the head with line drive.
 Dick Bartell-Came to Giants with nickname of "Rowdy Dick, 1" but has lost much of his fiery spirit under Terry's sobering influence. Still has plenty of pepper on field but is very quiet of diamond. If he's going good, he is very chipper but if he's in a slump he is low in spirits.
 Travis Jackson-Terry's chief lieu- tenant. Lone survivor of the 1923 world series between Giants and Tanks. Considered one of smartest baseball men in league. Graduate of Ouchita college. Ark. One oi best liked players in baseball. Even the umpireS like him.

Played with them when they won the pennant in 1926-27-28 played against them with the Cubs in 1882 and now back in against them again. Tanks dropped him when his eyes went back on him because of his habit of reading de- tective stories past midnight.
 Joe M0ore-Farmer from Texas Sometimes known as "the thir man" because of his slight build ol gauge ghost" because he halls from town by name of Cause and gen. orally has to be bandaged and tapet before every game. One of best arms in baseball, developed by throwing rocks at jack-rabbits as { kid.

He wa knocked unconscious but wanted t stay in game after being revived Terry wanted to take him out bu said he would leave him in if h could make good throw from out field.
