Hut If his aim Is no better than It was
In 1915 Matty will bo useless, and the

streets, Mrs. Clement Wainwright nnd
Miss Clara Chase defeating Mrs. Lewis
and Mlsa Morse, by the score of G-3. ii-'-'
The finals In tho singles, between Miss
Eliza. M. Foc nnd Miss Phyllis Wulsh,
will bo played tomorrow morning at lO-.m
o'clock Immediately following the singles
event, tho finals In doubles will bo played.
This morning tho light on tho court was
very poor nnd both pairs of contestants
had troublo in seeing tho ball. Mrs. Wain
wright and Miss Chase, by superior driv
ing to the corners, attempted to tako the
net. The game was entirely a back-court
affair, the winners showing marked su
periority in driving and covoring court.
Mrs. Isaac Sllchter, Jr., and Miss Phyllis
Walsh defeated Mrs. Gilbert Harvey and
Miss 13. G. Osterhelmer in tho second
round, 0-1, 6-4.

The other "If" concerns the famous
lleimy Kiiuff. Kauff Is reputed to be an
other Cobb. Ho was a Cobb in tho Fed

liantly In tho National Lcngua?
Many unkind things hnvo been Bald
about Kauff this winter, but wa tiro yet
to find a baseball man no matter how
piojiullcod he mav be who will say that
Kauff Is not a wonderful bitter. Many
doubt his iililhty to get away with tho
things ho pulled on tho bases In tho Fed
eral League, and as many moro contend
that he H a most erratic fielder but tho
opinion Is unanimous that "tho Ty Cobb
of tho Feds" can hit any kind of pitching.

Kauff Is undoubtedly one of the most
confident youngsters In tho game, but tills
confidence may leave him when things
break badly. If ho has tho nerve he
should bo the Ty Cobb of tho .National
League and this wilhmean that McGraw
can build a wonderful offenso nbout him,
Just us Jennings builds Detroit's offenso

There aro one or two doubtful positions
In tho Xew York team, but nono of them

DIAGNOSED
If Matty, Kauff and
Anderson Come
Through Outlook for
Pennant Is Bright
Giving Andersnp and Matty tho benefit
of tho doubt nnd adding Jeff Tosieau, one
of the best pitchers In the game : Pol
Perrltt, who will surely como back to his
1911 form: the erratic southpaw, Denton;
Pnlmoro, tho Puban left-bander; Kcbauer,
h'chupp nnd Itltter, will give tho Giants
a rnpablo and dependable pitching staff.
It will not bo as strong as that of tho
Braves, Beds, rubs. Dodgers and Phillies,
but will be stioiig enough to win nny pen
nant It McGraw develops an offenso ns
powerful ns he should with the material
nt hand. As McGraw has unusual batting
strength and speed nvallalile there is no
reason to believe that he will not have
nnother great running offense us bo had
In 1011, 1912 and 191.1. Tho present com
bination renlly looks more powerful In
every respect excepting pitching.
McGrnw feared that a weakness be
hind tho bat would handicap him. but the
purchase of Bill Uarldcn from tho Fecli
removes nil doiibtn ns to tho ability of
the catching staff. Itnridcn is still a
youngster and a Btar In every respect.
With Doolu nnd Wqndcll to help out, tho
OInnts aro not likely to suffer from weak
tccclvtng.
The Veterans
Mcrklo. Doyle nnd Fletcher will bo nt
tholr old positions, which leaves third
baso as tho only doubtful position. If
Ho mm Lobert's legs aro In good shapo he
will bo back ut third and uo doubt will
play satisfactory ball. McGraw Is not
banking much on Lobert and has Ilraln
ard and Unhblngton, tho former Brown
I'nlverslty star, ready to Btep Into the
breach. Both aro capabto ball players
and will round out a powerful Inlleld.
Theio Is nothing flashy about nny of tho
Giant lulleMori, but they ore all heady,
st long players.
An outtlcld which will rival tho Cobb,
Crawford, Vcach combination In McGraw's
greatest asset. Benny KaulT will bo sta
tioned li. centre, with l.d Ilousch, another
highly touted Fedetal Lenguer, In left,
nnd either Ilobertsqn or George Burns In
right. This Is a wonderful uuattct of
oiitlleldors, and the substitute whether it
bo Hobertson or Burns Is strong enough
to make a regular position In nny nutllcld
In the country, barring Detroit
Great Possibilities
There Is wonderful batting and lidding
ability unci great sliced in this quattct.
Ilobeitsou could be a faster thinker and
probably will, as ho hud much to learn
lust slimmer. Tho added oxpeilenco
should prevent him from making homo of
the blunders bo made on tho bases last
season.
All things considered, tho outlook Is ex
ceedingly bright for the Giants, anil Mc
Graw may perform that miracle of ris
ing from Inst plnco to a pennant within
a year. It is up to Matty, Kauft and
Anderson. If they fill tho bill a torrlflc
pace will bo set, which tho Braves and
other favoritos will find hard to follow.
If thoy fall, McGraw will havo a hard
time finishing in tho first division. Per
sonally, wp do not think they will fall.
