30 WPGRAW BELIEVES * HEHAS A WINNER Plans to Get Off to Flying Start—Bucs, Cubs Seen as Chief Rivals. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. AN ANTONIO, Tex., March 12— John J. McGraw is found these days, out in a blue sweater and & pair of base ball knickers, at home plate hitting grounders to his fielders. His 56 vears don't keep him off the practice field, because he | thinks he has a winning team. The Giants' manager is taking mighty good care of this team. He sees prom- ise and is busy bringing it out by a| thorough schooling. It may be of in- terest to note that he devotes systematic attention to bunting. That signifies that he believes he has speed. And when McGraw sees speed his eyes shine. The practice of the New York Na- tionals at San Antonio runs like thread off a needle and with as little noise. It is the most quiet of the practice fields out this way, but it also discloses a real earnestness on the part of players and manager. McGraw is trying to develop a swift, tricky, run-getting team. He wants a team that strikes swiftly and with| clean-cut precision. His team is as likely to raise sparks in the last in-| ning as in the first. The Giants are as fit as the Cubs. ‘Weather has been good and this hot Texas sun has been to their advantage. They are a nimble, hard-throwing, alerf, fast-running team. They are far from fence busters with the bat. yet they are Ueing carefully coached to vary their attack so that opposing teams may be caught off guard. Every effort on the fleld is being turned developing one of those teams for which the Giants are famous—one that can do the unexpected. McGraw has a pitching staff that is more to his liking than he has had for some time. If his hurlers return to the north as fit as they are in San Antonio, he will hurry the National League race. His strategy is to win games right from the start when other tcams are likely to be slothful. This plan of running away right with the opening gun has been a wrong policy since Ned Hanlon tried it years ago. If the Giants, during their games| with the less half Eastern teams, can run out in front, McGraw will be satie- . He is preparing for just that sort eckoning what he will wit in the meetings with Chicago and Pittsburgh, and while SPORTS.” MAN WHO LOVES To HOTEL ROOM ...

DG SPORTS.™ Giants to Have Speedy, Tricky Team : Pittsburgh Pitching Staff Looms As Strong SWETONIC, FRENCH T0 HELP VETERANS Pilct Bush Making Plans in Event Waner Brothers Quit the Game. By the Associated Press. ASO ROBLES, Calif., March 12— | The Waner brothers, Paul and Lioyd, still are on the absent | list, but the Pittsburgh Pirates | are mustering for the National | League pennant drive behind a pitching | staff that gives early-season promise of | being second to none in the circuit. In the hustle and bustle of training| camp preparations here the fact that the star outfielders continue firm in| their holdout roles has been sidetracked | for the more serious business of mold- ing available material into champion- ship calibre. Besides the general opin- jon here is that the two Waners will have settled their salary differences and be in uniform by the time the season starts. Manager Donie Bush pins his hopes on his hurlers and expects the rest of the squad to rise to the occasion. The mound corps has been greatly strength- ened by the addition of Jess Petty, vet- eran left-hander acquired from Brook- lyn in the deal for Glenn Wright, shortstop. Ray Kremer and Burleigh | Grimes, right-handers, are in top form. Three First-String Boxmen. ‘The triumvirate of Petty, Kremer and Grimes will bear the burden and should | do until another comes along. TWo other old-timers, Cermen Hill and Lee Meadows, the latter back from the vol- | untary retired list, are showing up well and may get into the running. ‘The rookie pitching field is unusually fertile and from it Bush looks for at| least two youngsters to help the cause along. Steve Swetonic, right hander, and Larry French, a southpaw, have the inside positions. Swetonic pitched Indianapolis onto the map last season, and French did more than his bit for Portland of the Coast League. Ervin Brame, right hander, has a job because | of ‘his pinch-hitting ability. Fred F' sell, left hander, and Walter Tauscher | and Ralph Dawson, right handers, all | holdovers. h: not been counted out. If the Waner boys pull the unexpected and remain out of base ball, the Pirate outfield ‘will be guarded by George | Grantham, Fred Brickell and Adam Comorosky, the latter two youngsters | but members of the squad in 1928. An outfield without the Waners is almost | a calamity, but Bush feels that the alternates afe not the worst in the game by any means. ‘Added to the uncertainty of the outer garden is an infleld problem involving | third base. Capt. Pie Traynor has been | shifted from third to short and at the latter position Bush believes he will be a star of the first water. Stroner Needed at Third. Jim Stroner, a recrult, who clouted out 42 home runs for Wichita in the Western League last season, is wanted for the third base station, but so far n handicapped by a recent ap- has been holding down second base most of the time and third some of the time, with Dick Bartel relieving him at the keystone berth. Harry Riconda, also from Brooklyn in the Wright deal, is another making a strong bid for third. majors, is back after a season in the minors and bids to become as valuable as any man on the club. His work at his big bat should poke in several dozen timely runs. The catching duties will be divided between Charley Hargreaves and Ral- ston Hemsley, with Claude Linton prob- ably getting the call for the third-string HEENEY I SLIGHT EAVORITE N FGHT His Battle With Von Porat Tonight in Chicago to Draw Throng. By the Associated Press. HICAGO, March 12—Otto von Porat Norway's ring Adonis with a pile-driving punch, to- night will attempt to blast New Zealand's "'big rock,” Tom Heeney, definitely out of the heavy- weight championship picture. The two foreign threats tangle over the 10 rounds or less at the Coliseum. |A record crowd, including many of New York's fistic impresarios, is antici- pated. Victory and a decisive one seemed paramount in each case, as both fight- ers have been stumbling along the road that leads to the vacant throne. For Heeney, the match was especially im- portant, as he needed a triumph to off- set his defeats by Gene Tunney and Jimmy Maloney in his last two starts. Odds wavered slightly in favor of the swarthy New Zealand blacksmith. He will outweigh his rival by 7 to 10 pounds and he has more experiefce. “Red” Fitzsimmons, Wichita, Kans., heavyweight, who has been winning regularly in the Southland recently, meets Phil Mercurio of New York in the eight-round semi-windup.

By the Associated Press. EW YORK, March 12—This | stiff-punching Jersey City light heavyweight, James J. Brad- dock. will have to be taken ' serfously. He has had a hard | time convincing the boys that he really is a first-rate 175-pounder, but there are fewer doubting Thomases today than there were a day or so ago. James J. from Jersey City chased | the Buffalo Will o' the Wisp, Jimmy | Slattery, for eight rounds at Madison Square Garden last night and then caught up with him to win by a tech- nical knockout in the ninth round. Braddock's record in the last six months is impressive. He cracked Pete Litzo’s jaw and won the decision in 10 rounds. Then he knocked out Tuffy Griffith in two rounds. To Leo Lomski he dropped a close decision. For eight rounds Slattery danced and | boxed his way out of difficulty. Near | the close of the eighth round Braddock | caught Slattery in a corner and drove | both hands to the body. Just as Buf- | falo Jimmy seemed to have worked his | way clear of the storm a long right | caught him on the chin. Slattery | held on and boxed his way out of danger until the round ended. | "In the ninth a two-fisted barrage sent Slattery down for the count of five, Referee Lou*Magnolia halted the struggle.
