MEXICAN MONEY 15 CUTTING IT ON ~ BALL PRESERVE | JINTS DANGL CASH OUT FOR " CARDHURLERS BY GAYLE TALBOT MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 19.—The New York Giants, desperatey in need of a couple of good pitchers if they are to get' anywhere in the Nation- al league race, still are confident that the kind of money they are of- fering owner Sam Breadon of the Cardinals will, eventual prove impossiblz for Sam to resist. So, they are not too worried as they go into their second week of training. The Test of the club lccks good, and Bill Rigney, the be- spectacled shortstop who just got out of the service, is proving some- thing of a sensation afield, though it is not yet demonstrated that he can hit well enough to beat Bud- dy Kerr out of the job. As for the pitchers, they know that the Cardinals have more good ores than they can possibly use, and that Breadon is going to have to unload kefore the season opens. “I told Sam we weren't interest- €d in any of his pretty-good pitch- ers,” President Horace Stceneham says. “I told him I wouldn't buy cne of his $25,000 boys, but that when he got ready to talk business about a real pitcher I would talk réal money to him “I said I meant Walker Cooper money as high as $150000 or $175,000 for the pitcher we wanted. Breadon nearly fell out of his chair, I think.” They still don’t know, by the way, when Cooper will get out of tke Navy, but they are hoping it will be around April 1. Whenever he is available, however, both Stoneham and his manager, Mel Ott, still think they made a great deal when they bought him In the meantime, Ernie Lombardi has not yet reported, and the Giants ars somewhat cramped for big league catchers. This is the last year, Stoneham says, that the Giants will be “ing to buy pitchers, or any othe cert cf ball players from the Card- inals, so it is possible that Bread- on had better grab the “Walker Ccoper” money while it still is be- ing tessed around. e Sporlg fhorls BRUNSWICK, G marriage of Capt. Henry (Hank) Greenberg and Caral Gimbel of Greenwich, Conn., almost went un- noticed by this southern port city. The man who performed the ceremony, City Ordinary Edwin C. Dart, was unaware the groom was the famed outfielder of the De- troit Tigers until he received a telephone call from a newspaper. Greenberg is due to report to Lekeland Wednesday to begin spring training. , Feb. 19.—The NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—The Aus- tralian Lawn Tennis Association is proceeding with plans to enlarge the seating capacity of Melbourne’s Kcoyong Stadium from 12,000 to 16,000 in preparation for the Davis Cup challenger round in December, the Australian News and Inform- ation Bureau reported today. ANNAPOLIS, Md., Feb. 19.—Two standouts of the 1945 Navy foot- ball team were on their way out of the Naval Academy today, bringing to six the number of “big name” backfield men who bolstered the Sailors’ gridiron hopes dur- ing the war years and won't be playing here next season.

Along with Olmo, who reportedly is getting $10,000 a year plus e penses for his wife and himself, |the Mexicans signed the colorful Danny Gardella, a combination outfielder-first baseman with the New York Giants last year. Gar- !della has been in the bad graces of the Giants since ke spurned a $3,000 contract and Manager Mel ‘Ol had Danny ticketed for the minors.
