Six Regulars Of 1912
Club That Finished
Third Are Lost
Things Will Work Out
Declares Manager;
burnu on First
BY JUDSON BAILEY,


LAKEWOOD, N. j.. March II
Mel OFT performed a minor miracle
last year by leading his New York
Giants to third place in the National
League. He may have to work a
major miracle this season to keer
them in the first division.
The cold facts are that the Giants
losses to the war are the heaviest in
the senior circuit. Pitcher Hal Schu-
macher, Outfielcier Willard Marshall,
the great rookie find of last season,
and Babe Young, the slugglng out
fielder first baseman, have entered
the service. Third Baseman Bill
Werber has retired and two bigger
blows appear about to falI-slnce
First Baseman Johnny MHe and
Catcher Harry Dannlng are in Glass
IA and awaiting induction.
Here, then. are six men missing out
OF the Giants regulars of last sea-
son. The once-proud Giants right
now appear about as formidable as
rovboat.
Mel Keeps Chin Up.
But OFT retains his optimism. He
simply tells ouestioners that things
will work out and that he doesn I
think the future Will turn out as
dark as it looks.
For one tlFlg the Giants. in ef
feet, are marking time till March "a,
the day Mize Is to report for Undue
tson. They think there Is posi-
hility he might be rejected because
injuries In recent seasons have
shown him to be an easy bleeder
II Mize should be turned down by
the Army, the Giants other prob
lerns could be solved in various ways
and with varying hopes for success.
But. as the matter stands now, Mize
Is out of the picture and the New
York roster resembles jigsaw
puzzle
OFT has big Babe Barna, an out
fielder, playing first base. He
would like to have another out
fielder, Rookie Sid Gordon, on third
base But if he moves both to the
tnfield, he will have no outf1eld.
There also are some serious
doubts that Barna can play first in
big league style and one of the
doubters is Barna himself. He is
fast and power hitter, so he fig
ures he is sure of regular berth If
he is spotted in left field, where he
alternated last season, But because
he was a first baseman at West Vir-
ginia University few years ago.
and because there is no other first
sacker in camp. Barna has been as
signed to the job.
The Giants undoubtedly will try to
make trade when and if Mize is
tnducted. They bought the big fell
low from the st. Louis Cardinals,
as draft insurance for Babe Young,
who then didn't get called till the
season was over.
II Barna opens the season at first.
Gordon would have to be kept in
the outfleld and 35-year- old Dick
Bartell would start at third base.
Bartell's legs being what they are,
this would mean Joe Orengo hold
ing down the hot corner about half
the time.
Anyway you fit the jgsaw to-
Eether YOU get a pessimlstic future
for the optimistic OFT.

must order I initiated the idea Of
home-and-home schedules for the
California schools at the last con-
ference meeting. but 1t did not get
formal consideration"
Eddy thinks the home and home
football arrangement has fine pos
sibilities as crowd lure. Football
is one Of the few sports where the
loser doesn't get a chance to avenge
himself within the season A rs
decision seldom Is convincing. A
close game between Southern Cali
forna and Stanford next fall in
Palo Alto would make the rematch
in the big Los Angeles Coliseum a
crowd magnet.
Eddy Is thoroughly sold on this
remat tch idea, and he is pretty astute
in his scheduling. Last season. de-
spite gasoline rationing, the Trojans
had their best dollars-and-cents
season in history. what with sellouts
against Ohio State, Notre Dame and
u c. L. A.
Whether the winner of the South
ern half of the conference might be
matched in the Rose Bowl against
the Northern champion, Eddy said
was something to be considered
much later on, But unless the West
ern Defense Command objects it
seems likely there will be a Rose
Bowl game OF one sort or another.
