The veteran leader set a new modern record last year when he won his tourth straight pennant and he I he vp'\ to make it five straight this thus setting a mark for all o Asso in his ck in the early days of the 10 Loston and St. Louis clubs . un won four aight penpants, the former in the National Associa. tion and the latter in the old Ameri- n Association a few years later. These have never been cclipsed but McGraw has the best chance any pilot has had in the annals of either llu American or National leagues. McGraw will stand pat on the major part of his lineup. He has made no radical changes and con- templates none in the array that won the 1024 flag but is concentrating a good share of his efforts on bolster- ing the battery departments, where > club's outstanding weaknesses | ve been for several seasons. To 1)‘9 end, the Giants alrcady have collected a corps of 19 pifchers for spring training at Sarasota, Fla., in addition to new backstopping talent, 1 to replac or aid Hank owdy and Frank S&nyder, the veterans who did the bulk of work last yea McGr ing vete heavil w has a half dozon pltch- | ans upon whom he counts | —Art Nehf, Hugh MeQuill Ryan, Claude Jon- nard, Jack and Virgil | Barnes. * Among a dozen or more | others, some of whom had trials last year, he hopes to obtain reg lur talent from such good prospects | | gu- | as Baldwin, obtained from Newark; Wisner, Rochester product; Wayland | Dean, Loulsville recruit who de- | clined after an impressive start a | and Joe Bradshaw, former | d Louisvllle pitcher.

Leonard and Tendler clashed in Jersey City on July 27, 1922, and, in the opinion of sporting writers, the champlon’s margin of victory was very slight \n a gruclling contest On July 23, 1923, they met again at the Yankee Stadium in New York and again the champlon successfully defended his fitle. For the past year and a half Tend. ler has been doing little fighting. He conquered Joe Tiplitz in 10 rounds at Philadelphia on December 24 of last year. . From the weight an. nounced at Pittsburgh, 1381 pounds the Thitadelphian is able to make the lightweight limit but his defeat at the hands of Zivie undoubtedly precludes any possibility of his en. tering the tournament for the crown for which fn years past he strived 80 valiantly, - services will be demanded. i The announcement that Ed Kirby, Cornell star, will leave Ithaca in an attempt to thwart the invader from Finlapd has aroused : considerable Interest as it Indicates that Amerl- can opponents for the seemingly in-| defatigable Nurmi are cnlisting for services, Kirby is a great college middlg distance man and proved himself at the Olymple games in Paris last summer when he led five other Americans to the tape in the 8,000-meter race, Nurmi may go home unbeaten and carrying about every record in the American books, but when he re- turns if he ever does, he ls sure to find a new set of athlctes, for the nation is due for a combirg which will find every runner of calibér. It is safe to say that when the Olympics come again three years henee, America will have some Nurnis of its own, for it has been taught an athletic lesson, Truly, Nurmi may be unbeatable and the greatest of all time past has been thought of other querors, Still records fall. The Wilco A. A. appears to have taken the first step to place America in the running in this new. era of middle distance racing born of Nurmi's conquests by inviting all amateurs capable of making the dis- tance to participate in a special event at the annual games February 7. Americans may be satisfied to sit in the stands and galleries and applaud urmi's accomplishments, but American athletes never are con- tent to trail. con- Will Seek Tidle Pittsburgh, Pa,, Jan. 20, — Jack Zivie, of Pittsburgh, conqueror of HALL CONTINUES 10 SET THE PACE Stull Maintains Lead in Y.
