~ That's the situation faced
today by numerous American League
rockies with the end of Spring train

sters who have the stuff to make
good if room could be made for them
But the veterans they hope to re-
place, in many instances, still are too
good to be ousted
In young Frank Houska the Chicago
White Sox have a first baseman Of
more than average ability. He can
hit and field and is hard worker
But Manager Jimmy Dykes can't be
expected to bench slugger like zeke

despite Muggsy's pleas and threats.
But the gal brought a vegetable
salad and hot tea and Shanty ate.
Those days Of oyereating are over
for me-" he vowed What sap I
was to get so fat Thirteen thousand
a year used to get with the Giants.
Pretty tough to lose, wasn't it?'
A bystander hardly could do any

who doesn't? He liked to play ball,
too He tried to do both and it
didn't work For a while he battled
two temptations. Finally base ball
won. He'd rather play than eat.
Somehow the story Of Shanty
Hogan stands out It's tale Of a
man who battled back to the major
leagues as nobody ever battled before,
When he slipped down the thorny
trail they tossed brickbats and kicks
at him It could have broken the
spirit Of any courageous man. But
Shanty's' spirit wasn't broken. Six
months ago he was side-show ma
terial, washed up in base ball. Today,
smaller and better than ever, he
reaches confidently for new rungs on
the same ladder from which he fell.
Was Ashamed Of Weight.
DOR the first time since I came
to the Washington club" said
Shanty, "I'll step on the scales now
and let whoever is interested look.
1 weigh exactly 235. That's lighter
than 1 ever weighed when I played
for the Braves. hats only 10 pounds
over what l weighed when put in
my best year for McGraw on the
Giants. That was the year I bat
ted $40
DO you really want to know what
I weighed when I first came to Wash
ington? I'll tell you now. weighed
286 pounds"
That isn't what all the papers said
last August, when Clif Bolton left
town and Clark Grif11th had to send
to Albany for Hogan. They all said
he weighed 1853. Wasn't that it,
Shanty?
Yeah" grinned Francis, "but
didn't lie about it. Think back Can
you remember one time when stepped
on the scales for newspaper man?
No, you can't. The boys just guessed
at 263 or 265 and I let it go at that.
Il was ashamed, man, ashamed. A
ball player weighing that much is a
disgrace. You don't know how sensi-
tive I was. When the fellows kidded
me had to laugh, too. But 1t hurt.
It really did"

Another Miracle Finish Improba Bile.
THE miracle" finish of the Giants
last year, after they appeared
hopelessly In the ruck in July, can
not be repeated, base ball men argue.
They cannot see how Terry, with a
lifetime hitting mark of .341, can be
replaced adequately by Long John
Mccarthy or Sambo Leslie. Close
followers OF the club, however. point
to the infield improvement with Lou
Chiozza on third and emphasize the
potential slugging comeback of Hank
Lelber, the blond bomber from Ari-
1ona.
There are, in fact. no more ifs in
the Giants chances than the Cardi-
mails will carry to the post. The Cards
can't win unless Warneke and Dizzy
Dean both have big years, as well as
considerable flinging support. With
Manager Frankie Frisch on the
doubtful list, the Cardinals also will
have inf1eld problems. Behind the
bat, the Red Birds must gamble with
younger men, in contrast to the
Giants reliance on the veteran Gus
Mancuso. newly appointed field
captain.
In the box, the Giants expect come
