hitting Is less than fair. Leslie. al

enough TO suit Terry. whose idea OF
good ball club is tight defense and
great speed.
Except for the frst-base problem,
the Giants look better than they did
a year ago at this time. Their hitting
has been poor against the highly
conditioned Cuban pros, who held
them to an average of six hits for the
first three exhibition games, but they
have better speed and better balance.
Castlemans improved form and the
purchase of Chiozza from Philadelphia
so far are high spots.
Terry plans TO carry eight pitchers,
seven infielders. five outflelders and
three catchers for the campaign. The
large number of infielders Is due to
the first-base problem.
Heading the pitching staff and look
ing just as impressive as ever is Carl

20 or more games. King Carl played
a lot of golf during the Winter and re.
