From His String of Ten Young Pitchers Shupp, Has Best Chance of Being Southpaw Addition to Regular Twirling Staff of Giants and Louis Drucke May Come Back Strong. 1 BY BOZEMAN BULGER. ‘Evening Werld'’s Baseball Expert on Tour of Big League Training Camps.) ARLIN, Ti M burn, and barring accidents the Giants should be well fortified at the middie of the diamond in this season's pennant race. The twirl- ers who have a chance of being held over until after the opening of the season are Hearne, Schupp, Schauer, Palmero and possibly Williams. To this list might be added Louis Drucke, who is starting all over again. Drucke was with the Glants for two years and showed Promise of amounting to something unt!! incapacitated by an accident in the New York subway. He was sent to the minor leagues and had to be let out there. He says that he has recovered from his injury and will be able to pitch again. McGraw has given him the chance. So far Louis appears to be reaching form more rapidly than any of his competitors, Schupp, a youngster of really great Promise, was with the club last sea- son, but did not get a chance to work in an important game. He is a left- hander of exceptional ability, though undersized. As Schupp is very young of the plavers have worked faithfully to make Hearne field better, but he ts still very bad.

The happiest man in the camp of the Giants is Mike Donlin, signed ae pinch hitter to succeed Harry Mc- Cormick. Back to his old love, Mike gallops around like a schoolboy and never tires of recalling the old ‘s when the first pennant was won by McGraw for New York. Donlin has not been happy since he quit base- ball to go on the stage. Ni beni for the crack of the bat and it de- lightful “feel” to the hand when the ash lands squarely on the ball for a long hit. A feeling of pride alone kept him from asking for @ job long’ ago. On the trip around the world Mc- Graw says that Mike bit the ball beautifully and that it was a real pleasure to see him take that famous golf-like swing. The first day in camp he handled himself so artistically at the bat that he had the youngst watching him in open mouthed ad- miration.
