Frank Clifford apparently
will be doing business at the
same old stand this year-at
halfback for the New York
Giants.
Clifford has been working out
at the quarterback spot during
the exhibition season in a bid
to qualify for the No. signal
calling job. But after three
weeks Of intensive training and
three preseason games, time
has run out on him.
AL Sherman, Coach Jim Lee
Howell'S chief aide, sums up
the predicament this way:
Il think Frank could qualify
as a quarterback but We had
the understanding with him
that value to the team would
determine his position, and
there's no doubt on that point.
who's better at halfback?"
A versatile performer, Clifford
| is a triple threat from the half
back post, capable of running
for the long-gainer, passing
for a touchdown or breaking
away to snare a pass.
Points to Time Factor
Howelrs appraisal of the
Clifford experiment pointed tc
the factor of time.
Clifford is a great athlete
said Howell, who directed the
Giants to the Eastern Division
title last season. IF he hao
the experience he'd be a great
quarterback. But we're rum
ming short Of time"
There are three. other good
reasons why Clifford "flunked'
the teSt-Quarterbacks Charlie
Conerly. George Shaw and Lee
Grosscup.
Conerly, in his 18th season
with the Giants, virtually
clinched the starting quarter.

-Diller Hanover! a bargain
basement colt who became the
odds-on choice for harness rae
ing's richest race. tries in the
Hambletonian tomorrow to
avenge the only two losses put
on his sterling record by g.
year-old opponents.
Diller, q $500 yearling, drew
the No. 2 spot in the first heat
of the tradition-rich HANDLE
tonian. Many railbirds feel
that's all the advantage he
needs to capture first money OF
$73.654.98. He's won nine Of IL
heats this season.
Competitors include John A.
Hanover, winner Of the $685.
1913 Yenkers Futurity, and Tie
Silk, coupled with Diller as
Ralph Baldwin's entry. Both
defeated Diller Hanover this
season, neither by much.
Fifteen horses go in the
Hambletonian. The Swear
old trotting classic carries a
$125.283.98 gross purse to make
| it the richest of all harness
races.
Circo Draws Poor Post
Circo also appears a major
threat. But like Tie Silk, he
drew an unfavorable position.
The front row-from the
rail-will include The Ledger,
Diller Hanover, Flight Song,
Spike Hanover, Newport Dill
Ion, John A. Hanover, Tartan
Hanover, Giro, Algiers, Eblis
and Yankee King.
Behind them will be Lord
Chutney. Lady Belvedere, Fa-
rand Hanover, Tie Silk and the
hometown, sentimental choice,
Rodney Pick. Lady Belvedere
is the only filly in the race
and will be driven by Del Mil
Ter Of Washington, D. c.
Circo, top money winning
colt his Juvenile season, is
rated a chance by Driver Billy
Haughton but he admits the
chance would have been better
If his colt had an improved
post.
