In- juries during the early part of the | season kept baseball's “Napoleon” busy trying to devise some sort of a lineup that could keep him from be- ing left at the post before the race really got under way. Finally, the jinx departed and the McGrawmen started an upward climb that threat- ened to bring both major league pen- nants to New York. The drive too late, however, and the Giants were forced to trail both Pittsburgh and St. Louis. i Probably considering himself lucky to finish as high as_ third} place, McGraw began his plans for the 1928 campaign. The addition of Lefty O’Doul, crack coast league outfielder, and of a flock of new} pitchers have given the Giants “pa-| per power” that seems the equal of | that of any of their rivals. Has Best Infield Lindstrom, McGraw has one of the best infields in the league. The two “Andys”—Reese and Cohen, are the principal reservists. Cohen starred in the International league last sum- mer, while Reese was filling in at third base for McGraw.

Once a pitcher with the Yankees, O’Doul experienced a change of heart and took up the business of snaring flies, and hitting them far and often. He comes to the Giants from San Francisco. The other outfielders include Leslie Mann, the terror of southpaws, Art lahn, once with the Chicago Cubs, and Melvin Ott, pinch hitter extra- ordinary ] Indications are that the chief bur- den on the mound will be carried by Larry Benton, who led the league on fa won and lost basis last year, Bur- leigh Grimes, Fred Fitzsimmons and Virgil Barnes. McGraw hopes to develop at least onc more starting hurler from among Dutch Henry, “Lefty” Faulkner, Toronto star, Bill Walker, Denver southpaw, and Ar- thur Johnson, purchased from Nor- folk. All of these saw service dur- ing the latter part of the 1927 cam- paign. With Al Devormer released, it looks like Zack Taylor and Jack Cummings will divide the catching the combatants.

Yost Declares East Far Behind West in Physical Education Ann Arbor, Mich., Jan. 9.—(AP) The east is far behind the central west in the matter of fitting ath- letics into the educational life of its school and college youth, in the opin- ion of Fielding H. “Hurry Up” Yost, athletic director of the University of Michigan. “Athletics and physical educa- tion,” said the Michigan sports lead- er, “should be an integral part of our educational program, and I} think I’m safe in saying that 90 per cent of our teachers today recognize that edacation means the devel- opment of character and a healthy, physically and mentally normal fu- ture citizen.” He placed the blame of the cast’s| backward athletic policy as com- pared to the west on the lack of or- ganized athletics relations among the majority of the educational in- stitutions. The conference idea on which midwest and western athletics are ed goes far toward insuring the best comprehensive sport and physical educational program, he as-! serted, hastening to add that he did pet wish to be placed in the light of telling the y 8 east what its athletic hould be. in hed four-hour fisccesion of ot legiate sports, revolving mos! ee approval ear’s rule changes, uphold the oer and decry the attitude that ib in present-day foo! is the best that can be devised, in opinion. minutes later. played cor baskets.

The Canadiens today headed the standings of both groups with 14 games won, one lost and four drawn. Their Hegel total of 32 is nine more than the Detroit Cougars, the pres- at leaders in.the American compe- tition. While the Canadiens have the high total in goals, they also hold the distinction of being the least scored upon, only 18 goals dropping into their cage this season. As far as the team tallying is in- volved the Cougars rate second with 45.

One thing can be taken for grant- id, Nurmi did not relish the defeat he suffered by the German and he will not do anything to throw him- self off. George McPherson Is Bison Cage Five Key Fargo, N.
