But with q club so well eStab-
lished as this, what it happens to
be doing in March has almost no
bearing whatsoever on what it will
do in May. With an admitted
pennant contender, in fact, it
usually isn't so much a case of
whit it has, as what it hasn't. And
I think the real story Of the New
York Giants is found in the list
Of current employees.
Need Requirements
It is q club that's going to need
Ca requirements and (b) fourth
or, at best, a fifth pitcher. So
what? So this:
OF the Is new men on the imme-
diate premises, five are from the
Piedmont League; two are from
something they call the w. Dixie
League; one is from Beckley, in
the Middle Atlantic League; an
other from college, and two others,
Fred Marberry and Dick Coffman,
are from somewhere around be-
hind the back steps.
Marberry is the reformed UNI
pire who, when last seen as a
pitcher two years ago, was wont
to lift the left foot away up there
and throw one from under the arm
pit. Then the ball left the park.
He is SO and was good 10 years
ago. Coffman, a here-and-there
guy all his life, has never really
been good at all.
Youngsters Not Ready
I've thus accounted for II of
the is with one dodderer, one
ne'er-dc right and a bevy Of young
gents who do not figure to be
ready. Neither does Steve Kuk,
former Colgate backfield man, who
hit pa in the Nashville outfield,
nor Glen Dreisewerd, a left-hander,
whose record is 3 and in the
Nashville pitching box.
That leaves two, Burgess White
head, from the Cardinals, and
Jim Ripple from Montreal, and,
Of course, both are Set-Whitehead
at second base and Ripple as the
No. 2 extra outfielder. The No. ]
extra outfielder is George Davis,
who hit q rather pale and inSipid
.264 last year. Still, the Giants
don't need a lot out there as long
as Hank Leiber, .331: Mel OFT, .322
and Joe Moore, .296, keep going
along.
There's nothing in the code,
however, that says they have to
keep going along.
The only question about the in"
field is whether Jackson's legs
aren't ready to buckle a little and
how well Whitehead will stand up
in the hot months. It has the
leagues best first baseman in
Terry, but the Colonel himself is
so unimpresSed that he has hired
an understudy, Sam Leslie. Then
there's Mark Koenig to fill in for
Whitehead at second, Jackson at
third or Dick Bartell at ShortStop.
But Marcus is no day-to-day ball
The Washington times., 1936-03-27

player; he's Just an old-fashioned
filler-inner.
Therefore, Jackson will have to
play 125 games for the club to
have a chance and, in this con-
nection, must state that I'm con-
Siderably upset to find Charley
English and Joe Martin back here
again, to say nothing Of gent
called Frank Miller, a free agent.
Charley and Joe somehow always
remind me Of the spring. So do
the hives.
The catching, Gus Mancuso and
Harry Danning. is quite all right
but I'm wondering how the Colonel
ever came up with a couple Of
blokes named Clarence Anderson
and Theodore Quay. They may
be tops in the end, but can't
think the start has even been
made yet.
Nor can I fathom the Colonel's
pitching. He has two great pitch
erS, Carl Hubbell and Hal Schu-
macher, and one good one, Clyde
CaStleman. Then you stop and it
may be that, in the end, the club
will stop with you.
Fred FitzsimmonS gave every
indication last year that he was
getting finished; AL Smith seems
always on the point Of being good
but never quite making it. and
Frank Gabler and Harry Gumbert
have yet to prove that they be-
long.

To- Start
At Third
BY FRANK BUCK" O,NEuL

BY FRANK BUCK" ONEIIL
BRADENTON, Fla, March ~.
Buddy Lewis thundered a final re-
buttal to all challenges to his hold
on third base. His answer might
have drowned the roar Of coast
defense guns, Of big berthaS, or
any other variety Of ordinance
you wish to name. His hits shook
Sarasota and made Bucky Harris
forget the third consecutive de-
feat suffered by the Griffmen.
Lewis was at bat six times In
the course Of q Sandlot battle
Of base hits and runs as the
Boston Red Sox defeated the
Griffmen, 10-S, at Sarasota yes
terday. Three times he searched
the outfield with drives that went
for triples. Once he singled.
Hits 'Em Everywhere
The first time up Buddy hit
an outside pitch to left center,
and sped to the turn for home.
In the second inning he cracked
one to right center. In the fifth
he pulled one into right field,
and between times he raped q
drive down the right-field line
that sped between Eric McNair
and Jimmy Foxx at q furious
clip.
There is no doubt about Lewis
being The blown-in-the-glass big
league hitter. He can smash that
ball from here to there, and he
will hit an outside fast ball as
well as he will meet the inside
pitches. It is possible, of course,
that, when the pitchers begin to
break off curve balls, Lewis will
be stopped, but he won't be
stopped consistently, and he won't
be made to look bad consistently.
Now it is true that the boy did
boot a ball or two in the course
Of the game, but it is also true

that he handled several chances
with the cool, steady skill of a
master and won the appreciation
of critical baseball men who
looked at him with cold, appraiS-
ing eyes.
Lewis outstanding contribution
to the game was play on Roger
Cramer in the second inning. The
ball took a bad hop and Lewis
staggered as the ball hit him. It
looked like q base hit, and with .
tradition Of bad throwing under
pressure, Lewis was on the spot.
Well, he rubbed out the spot. He
grabbed that ball and blasted q
line throw to Joe Kuhel that cut
down Cramer with yards to spare.
Miles ImpreSSeS
As Lewis moved along, Dee
Miles made a favorable impres-
sion. He charged one ball hit to
him in the outfield and got off q
line throw to Buddy Lewis that
stopped Eric McNair short in his
pilgrimages along the paths.
No, nothing would suit your re-
porter better than to report that
the pitching was all that it should
have been, but this cannot be one
in justice to the truth Of journal
ism.
Eddie Linke was hit hard, and
Jack Russell was hit hard. The
Red Sox unleashed their power
and it moved down the boys in
mercileSS style.
Buck NewSom Is the pitching
choice in today's game with the
Cardinals here and Earl White
hill or Henry Coppola probably
will pitch part Of the game. New
SONS left leg is sore, but not so
sore that he cannot work. In fact,
he is eager to restore the team to

today will be as good q day as

Wild Bill Hallahan and Bill
Walker are pitching possibilities
for the Cardinals.
One Of the great plays Of the
spring training season was made
in the second inning yesterday.
With Lewis on third base, Jake
Powell flied to Melo Almada.
Lewis tried to score after the
catch but Almada's brilliant throw
cut down Lewis at the plate.

The Scouts-Barbara Ramseyer and

learned, among other things, that
White House rugs don't skid, because
they have pads underneath them;
that guards make the rounds all night
as a precaution against fire and that
no inflamable materials are allowed
in the house; that children aren't
permitted to go into the kitchen SO
there is no danger of cutting them
