He has a good head, is fast' | as catchers go, possesses a real !'arm, and unlike many other back- | eee in the circuit, is a splendid | hitter. Last. season he batted .323, topping the American League catch- (ers in this respect. Herman Pillette, in his initial year in the majors, proved a star of ‘the first magnitude, finishing well up to the head of the list. He was without a doubt the best hurler among the Johnsonian recruits of 1922, And he came to the Tigers | practically unheralded, All of these youngsters have more than made the grade since coming and incidentally have done a great deal toward giv- ing Detroit a SE SURDISE Se combination.

McGraw, have finished second eight; times, third once- and four twice. Only in one season did McGraw fail to land his club in the first division, that beng in 1915, when it came in} last, Thus, out of 20 campaigns, the Giants have finished’ “one-two” 16 seasons, besides winning three out of seven world championships, there being no titular entries in 1904, Mc- Graw’s first -pennant-winning year.! But though McGraw has no doubt won more success as 4 manager of major Jeague ball clubs than any other pilot in the game, still the wily leader cherishes one fond ambition which he hopes to put across before he.quits the pastime for good, And | that is to cop four pennants in al row—something which no one has; yet been~able to accomplish.

Freedman, and Charles White, both of Chicago. But the fact that he has previously con- quered all three inclines crities to the opinion that he will continue to yemain supreme. The suggestion has been made fre- quently that Leorard, however, may | find difficulty keeping inside the/ lightweight limit of 135 pounds and| eventually be compelled to seek hon ors in the welterweight division. Al-| thought he failed last summer in an attempt to tyke this title from Jack| Britton, losing to the veteran ‘on a| foul, Leanard would be a formidable opponent for Walker, who capture the championship from Britton.
