Giants Worries
Grow as Leiber
1urnsfdrmer
First Bose Problem
With Mize in IA,
Hank Staying Home
BY JUDSON BAILEY,


NEW YORK. March 1.-THE first
base woes of the New York Giants
are getting all tangled up again like
the second act of musical comedy
AS matter of fact the Giants
have been having trouble at first
base almost annually since sweet
William Terry punched out on tho
time clock in 1896. but right now
the club is confronted with an
absolute void at the position.
Johnny Mize. the big St. Louis
clouter whom the Giants obtained
last winter from the Cardinals,
recently was classified IA and yes
terday Hank Lelber, whom Manager
Mel OFT was counting upon as a
flll-in at first, notified the Giants
he had retired to chicken farming
Leiber to Stick to Farming.
The irony of the situation is that
the Giants got both Mize and Leiber
year ago principally to protect
themselves against the drafting of
Babe Young, their regular first base
man in 194l
Young remained with the club all
through the 1912 season, finally fin
iShing in Centerield, but has since
been called to service. Mize and
Lelber both are married but have
no children. The former expects
to be called for induction at any
time and the latter has decided to
stay on his Arizona farm and be
classified &c, essential agriculture
The Giants so far have made nc
important move to get a first base
man, saying that they will wait
until Mize passes his final physical
examination. They think there Is
a possibility he might be rejected
because he bleeds excessively when
cut.
Mize Expected to Report.
They expect him to report tC
training camp at Lakewood, N. J.
next Monday and to stay around
until actually summoned.
On their present roster they have
only one likely substitute, husky
Babe Barna, who played first base
for West Virginia University before
starting his pro career. Last year
he alternated with Leiber in the
outfeld and now, with Leiber gone
as we'll as the clubs freshman stal
of year ago, Willard Marshall, the
Giants may need him in the out
field as much as they do at first.
