One Is Mister Double X Whom Terry Calls
 Fine Prospect
By DILLON GRAHAM Sports Editor, AP Feature Service

MIAMI, Fla, March 21.--Major League baseball may soon have an- other Mister Double-X.
 ! He's Bob Foxx, a larrupping out fielder down here in the New York Giants training camp next door to Miamis football Orange Bowl.
 Maybe the Orange Bowl will help you identify Bob His ex- ploits in that bowl made the head lines couple of years ago when he was one of the University of Tennessee's greatest all-round foot ball backs
 As a sophomore wingback he helped the Volunteers whip Okla homa in the 1889 New Years Day game. He was the wheel horse of the Tennessee team that went un- beaten for three seasons. Bob wound up his gridiron campaign in Tennessee's game last January against Boston College in New Orleans Sugar Bowl
 Bob left school after the first semester and came down to try his luck in pro baseball. He's going back next fall to finish and get his degree in physical education.
 The American League has long boasted of its Jimmy Foxx and his slugging prowess. The National may be bragging before long about Bob.
 Terry Likes Him
 Bob likely won't approach Jim- mys lifetime average of .334, but Bill Terry thinks he'll be real hitter. Bob is still about year away and the Giants probably will send him to their Jersey City farm for the coming season.
 Bob worked out last spring with the Knoxville team of the South ern Association and Freddy Lind strom, former Giant infielder, liked his looks and recommended him to Terry.
 He hits the ball hard. takes nice cut, is fast and handles him. self well in the field" Terry says. "I think he's a fine prospect"
 Bob has never played pro ball. He had batting average of better than 400 during his three years of varsity baseball at the Univer- sity of Tennessee and batted well over 300 in two years of summer semi-pro ball. He played with Blackstone, Va, last summer and hit 1925.
 Prefers Baseball
 T like baseball two to one over football" Bob says. I've already learned a lot down here, just watching these stars play, and I hope I'll be up there with them in a year or so." Bob is a good-look- ing, broad-shouldered youngster with curly blond hair. He weighs 1855 and is 21.
 Bob and another flychaser, James Walter Maynard, are the best look ing of the Giant rockies. Maynard led the Piedmont League at bat when he hit .337 for Richmond last year. He played few games late in the season with the Giants. He likely will be sent out for another seasoning. too.
 Big Question Marks
 The two big question marks on this club are Shortstop Bill Jurges and the pitchers. Jurges was out half of last season after he was beaned by Bucky Walters He complained during the winter of! dizzy spells and had a recurrence of the peculiar dizziness during workouts tn isspring. He's deter mined to stick out the full train- ing period. With Bill well the Giants infield would be set with Burgess Whitehead at second, Joe
  Orengo from the Cards at third and Babe Young at first.
 The shift of Harry Danning to the outIleld may cause a question mark behind the bat but Terry seems to think Ken O'Dea and Gabby Hartnett will take care of that problem without trouble.
 The pitching staff is the same as last year plus Bump Hadley from the Yankees, Bob Bowman from the Cards and several rockies. The best of these in the early workouts were Ace Adams from Nashville and Clydell Castleman, the former Giant who injured his back and spent last year with Jersey City
