Datias, Texas, March 2. F the Glants are fortunate enough I to win another pennant they will do so with the same team that captured the flag in 1911. When this was called to the attention of Ma ager McGraw, he remarked In his characteristic manner: “Well, isn’ that good enough?” th his opinion a team that led the league in batting and base running and then won the pennant is strong enough to back for another try.
