~] COHN NGRAW REQUGES TRAINING SQUAD TO 29 MEN, OTHERS T0 60 Substitutes for Giants Would Be Regulars on Nearly Any Other Club, Is Claim; Other News of Big League Camps. (By the Associated Press) Manager McGraw of the New York Giants cut his squad to 29 men by sending six rookies to the Eastern Teague. Four more players will be cut loose before June 15. The league champions appear stronger this season, according to writers who have followed the club. It sesses a strong reserve power, something it has not for years. Every position is strong and the substitutes would be certain regulars on almost any other club. Guy Bush, rookie twirler and Toney Kaufman, dished out a brand of pitching which baffled the Oak- land Pacific Coast Leaguers yester- @ay which enabled the Chicago Cubs to put over a shutout. Geor, Foster of Red Sox fame, opposed the national leaguers and held his own until yanked for Earl Kunz, former Pirate, who was unable to hold his opponents. Manager Robinson is having di ficulties with his players. Just as he induced Johnny Jones, $25,000 Paci- fico Coast League product, to sign, outfielder Bernie Neis kicked over the traces a-.°. although signed for the season, tureatens to jump to an outiaw organization. ‘The Boston Braves, minus, the ser- vices of Stuffy McInnis at first, trimmed the St. Louis Cardinals yes- terday.

The Chicago White Sox are the champions of Winter Haven, Florida, having completed their schedule on the home grounds with a clean slate by defeating the Phila- delphia Nationals, after a thrilling finish. Their record “at home” was four victories and one tie. They will start the trip toward home Monday by meeting the Giants at Orlando. Lee Fohl of the Red Sox said his club will carry five or six outfielders including Veach, Flagstead, Boon the veteran John Collins, Joe Co: nolly, who came to the Red Sox from Cleveland, and Phil Todt, the St. Louis Boy who was with San An- tonio last season.

FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, March 29.—({United Pre: ‘With the exception of the Cincinnati Reds all of the major league teams scheduled exhibition games in the south this spring against teams in their own league. Southern exhibition games that bring major league teams in com- petition against each other are not unusual. They have come to be a part of the training of the team and an important part. They also help to pay the bills. Up until this season, however, teams generally selected their op- Ponents from the other league, but this year National League teams playing National League teams, and American League teams played American League clubs along With their inter-league games. The management of the Cincinnati club did not arrange any games with National League clubs, because it is opposed to the {dea, but it is so heavily outvoted that it probably will make its plans next spring with an open mind, . In just a few years, the idea of the early spring exhibition games has grown so much and proved to be such a good business venture that something bigger and better organiz- ed than the present arrangement is almost sure to be the result. It is quite possible that in a few years the season may be extended to take in officially a certain number of games down south and that a reg- ular circult might be formed. With just a few exceptions, all of the major league teams are now training in Florida. It is possible that all of the teams with the ex- ception of the Chicago Cubs will train in Florida next spring. Most of the club owners picked cities in the same part of the state and they are all located within a few miles of each other. & Baseball men, say the idea of an early start with the games played down south until May, when the teams would move north, is not prac- tical now, but they admit that such a plan might be worked out in the future. eee As long as 154 games fs considered the ideal length for the schedule, the club owners will have to take a lot of bad weather in the early spring to avoid the bad weather in the late fall. The gamble with April weather could be done away with if the teams BASEBALL QUESTION BOX If you have some question to ask about baseball— If you want a rule interpreted— If you want to know anything about a play or a player— Write to John B.

He is shown here THIS YEAR stayed down south and played 20 or 25 of their regular games there. Players, of course, would expect to be paid more if they had any more work loaded on them. Many of them are kicking now against the practice of sending them through 20 or more exhibition games for which they feel they donate their services. Most of the contracts call for a season's work, and the athletes naturally do not want the season made out of rubber. Spring training expenses set the club owners back $20,000 or more each, and unless they get something back, it is all a dead loss,. The idea of the exhibition games was spon- sored by the desire to get something back on the investment and, in the case of several major league teams, they do a little better than break even on the training trip. Playing in strange cities on rough fields and under different conditions involves a risk of injury and illness, but the magnates feel that the pe: centage against damages is so high that they cannot pass up the chance to drag in all the money they can. Major league managers hardly had a chance to look over their recruits this spring when the exhibition games started. Perhaps they feel that it is better to observe young Players in real games than to look them over in practice, Very few of the young players get a chance to start, however, a real spirit of rivalry between the teams in most of the contests and the exhibition games are not regar ed in any Way as for “funnies. Every pitcher that goes against Babe Ruth, Rogers Hornsby and Harry Heilman, especially pitchers from the other league, bears down as hard as he can to show up the stars, and the same spirit holds good for the other players. The Yankees, last spring, were beaten consistently by the Brooklyn Robins, and much was made over it, The Yanks had been allowed to train as they saw fit, and they weren't ready for the kind of base- ball that the Brooklyn team was when they started. The Robins ap- parently worked to get in shape to hand it to the Yankees, and they did. But the results showed when the regular season started. The Yankees had been worked up to the proper edge and the Brooklyn players were over-trained. The Yankees played championship-ball from the start. The Robins never played it.

Studt also seeks authority to transport freight.

FOSTER (Copyright, 192% Casper Tribune) CLEARWATER, Fia., March 29.— Everywhere you turn in Clearwater, you stumble over a Brooklyn pitcher. The natives hereabouts, whenever a stranger passes, point to him, and say “that’s him.” You ask “that’s who?” he answer ts “Brooklyn pitcher. “Where are the other players you ask. “There are no other players,” is the response. “All the Brooklyn players are Pitchers.” * Apparently they actually believe it, tho it's pretty hard on Ivy Olson who never pitched in his life, and on Zack Wheat and Jack Fournier, who fancy they are pretty good in their own way. “Somebody told them Brooklyn had the fastest pitching staff in the league" said Jimmy Johnston, “so I guess they take us all for pitchers.” Under the shade of his own cin namon tree, Uncle Robble admitted gravely and frankly to the writer. that he had no infield of certainty. “If you see a flivver wobbling down the street on a bent axle, as if it were bowlegged—that's my in- field,” he said. “It's pigeon-toed, too. I guess. The whole infield isn’t bad. It's Just that I can't make it patch up. Brooklyn needs a third base- man—has needed one for a long time. I thought I had that fixed this year when we got Jones to play short, but Jones can’t get part of his pur- chase price from Portland, Oregon, and is setting back on his haunches like a balky husky. Brooklyn gave up $20,000 for him and he won't move. Ball players now aren't like they were in the old days. When I was a kid we wanted to play. Now they think not of play, but of pay.

And so does the fancy ef the not-so-young man. He whose ears have become cauliflowered throughout the winter through in- timacy with radio headphones, or whose disposition has become sour- ed through nona too successful communions with the goddess of luck in poker games, now starts brushing up on the great pastime of chasing a harmless, little ball all over the landscape. What to wear on the golf links is @ matter of personal choice. Some fans prefer the oldest, slouchiest outfit in the clothes closet. Others feel that their game must be im- proved due to the fact that they are wearing the latest sport models from Hammacher, Schlemmer and company’s expensive stocks. Some fellows’ scores could be improved only by supernatural intervention— but that’s a nasty crack that has no place in a Ciscussion of what's what in the clothes line for X-coun- try chases in pursult of a perfect “eighty.” One advantage of the golf suit is that the purchaser is provided with both regulation trousers and golf knickers. This is obviously intended tor those who consistently “swear off” golf after a dub performance. It offers them a possible consolation in the knowledge that their -hard- earned cash wasn't entirely thrown to the winds when they bought that sport suit. . ene The sport models displayed thus “With Jonea, I would have put Jimmy Johnston on third and tried this Charles Klugman boy out at second, But I haven't got Jones, so Johnston has to go to short and High to third. High is not a third baseman but he is a little smaller than I like my third basemen. “My notion of a good third base- man is Arthur Devlin a chap all height and range. The taller a third baseman grows the higher he can pull them down. “To my mind, the second division of the National league will finish just it did last season. You've got to show me where there has been enough of a change to make any dif- ference in the lower crust four and the upper crust four. I’m not going to say who'll win the championship. But what's the use of kidding your- self that you have a team that can step out in front when you can see where the moths have eaten a hole in your infield? “We can pitch and catch with any of ‘em. Make no mistake about that. We've got four as good catchers as there are in the National league and I'll stack my nineteen pitchers against the whole circuit. The stars and the kinds are all good. I can't keep ‘em all, because they outnum- ber Brigham Young's wives, pretty near, but what can't be kept will be watched.” Brooklyn {s in the chase for Stock Of the St. Louls club. It is evident that Rickey is going to let Stock go. Boston has beeh angling for him but Rickey, who needs a_ catcher, wanted O'Neill in exchange. Modest Rickey! He might have got O'Neill for Stock—plus about $10,000. Stock is So much older than O'Neill that the latter will be In the game when Stock has been almost forgotten. far have differed in no tmportant particular from those worn during the last open season. Tweeds and cheviots are the thing and light greys and browns are the colors. Of course, here and there one will find a light green, Some suits have four pieces— coat, vest and two pairs of trousers; others iminated the vest. The latter are more adaptable for sum- mer wear, though, and it is with climatic conditions in mind that the “weskit" is eliminated. Most of the golf suits now shown in men's clothing shops are made good and roomy in the back. Around the shoulders especially is this true. They are made to give plenty of “swinging room,” and the pleating in the back being so devised that it “gives” when the arms are raised at the completion of a stroke at the ball. The coat has all the elasticity of a sweater, thanks to this impor- tant feature. Of course, there are a great many sport suits, the coat of which fs cut lke an ordinary sack sult, with no “pinching” in the back. These sport suits are mainly designed for town wear, and it is advisable to discard the coat and don a sweater for @ tour around the links. eee Pockets are huge affairs again, for the secretion of such com- modities as are essential to a per- fect golfing day. Why, certainly. there is a hip pocket and, although no congressional investigation has been made, it is suspected that the hip pocket can be forced to contain more than a handkerchief. Golf stockings both murmur and shriek. Saw some good looking ones the other day in grey plaid. If the golf knickers are to be tucked into the stockings, then the stockings have the fold at the top. If the trousers have the band at the bot- tom, the*plain, ribbed wool stock- ings are d'accord.
