GIANTS STAND ON THRESHOLD
OF COMING SEASON SOMEWHAT
WEAKER THAN AT FINISH OF 1917
Loss of Temperamental Herzog Will Help, but
Infield Cogs Are Showing Signs of Rust.
Short and Third Going Back
ITUIK Ulant.s stand on the thieshold of their ISIS reason weaker than
when they finished Inst fall. Whether tlutt fact will hinder them from
winning another pennant rcmulim to be seen.
They have lost Charley llcrzog, which fact in ltoir will tnuke a hotter
club of the ClIatitH. for llcrzog, dls-Batlsllcd. would huvc been a liability
rather than an asset. However. Herzog played vvondei ful bawball last Mill
iner. It was his cffoitM move than anything els that not tho Cllunts at tho
top of the heap and placed them In tho vvorld'K scrle.
Larry Doylo cannot even make u cnnimondablc cfi'oi t to play suoh base
ball as irerzog Is capablo of. Ho never wvw the day when ho was as vnlu
ablo for all-around ability as tho now member of tho Iloston Braves. Ho Is
a far better hitter and H p(isossor of a sunny disposition, something that
was not Herzofi'H boast.
In addition to Hcrzog's pop the (limits stand denuded of tho cunning
ability of a trio of tho greatest loft-huml Illnsers i-vcr herded together on
ono baseball club. Slim Sallcc Is a Irtnally through us n, regular cffccllvo
worker. Fred Schupp never will bo nuy better, although It Is probable ho
will bo Just as good during tho coming season us he vnn a year apo. llubu
Benton will be virtually as effective as lust summer, although ho Is Hearing ,
the point that divides between superlative rffectlvcnei-s nnd tho decline.
TUB pitching stair of the (Hants, however, will liavo some light
handed support tho coming coupon, something that was dccldcdl
lacking the last campaign.
Jess Harncs Will Holster Hurling Department
"DAIINKS has been added and ho Is u mobt ciTe-utlvo young mnn. It .1. ---'been
noted, however, that John .1. McCiruvv fulled to make uso of 1' ill
Teriltt, ono of tho best right-handers In tho National League, when he hud
the opportunity, and piobaldy lost tfie world's m-iIoh becauoe ho Ignored tho
fact that l'crritt would h.ive been ablo to sto tho Whlto Pox.
Ilarncs will bo of undoubted value to the pitching staff. Ho and l'crritt.
provided McOraw isn't still determined to keep away from using tho fouuer
Cardinnl. will fill In the weak spots of tho pitching corps.
But pitchers cannot pitch and score runs at the samo lime. And runs
are a most necesary commodity. Tho (Until, with their power, should bo
a better run-scoring machine.
This year ltnbort&on Is not likely lo be tho hitter or tho base runnr"-
that ho hai been in the past, and Benny KauiT is going to experience
diminished speed. Ucorgo Burns undoubtedly will be Just as good as eer.
There Is vetioqresiion among tho Olants at third baso nnd shortstop.
Xelther l'letchcr nor Zimmerman can bo expected to play eo brilliantly ns a.
vear ago. Young Holko never has been moio than an ordinal-' first bate
man and ho will temaln so.
Tho GUntscatchlng stuff Is admirable. Of orgo Gibson and BUI ltaildf 11
both are virtually through with their stardom days, but In Lew McCarty tho
Giants posses tho best young catcher In baseball, and Jack Onslow Is ex
pected to becomo a most capablo receiver.
D.
ECI.IXU in tho iutleld will hit
their chances for tho pennant
present.
Evers Declares liaseball Has Hecame Effete
JOHNNY KVKUS Is ono of the few men In baseball who seem to undei
stand why tho nutional gamo has lost a hit of Its grip on tho American
people tho last few years. "The playcis aic ut fault," said Johnny tho
other day. "They should not go to tho ball paiks when they mo on tho
'oad In ones and twos, llko actors going to 11 show. They should drcs In
their hotel and go out In a team bus and glvo tho fans a look at them as
they rldo through the streets."
This la the secret of It all. The fan has grown away from tho player
a bit. The Federal League, war gave tho noblo athletes so much money
that they lost their perspective on their profession.
In tho days when tho Cub-Giant
would be stoned as they rodo through tho Chicago streets In their bus on
the way to tho ball park. This was lowdyisni. If you will, but it showed
he partisan spirit that prevailed in the heart of tho fan tit that time.
I Today, when the Clants arrive in Chicago, they go their way mi
noaced. Familiarity may bleed contempt In tome iclatlons. but not In that
net&voen tho ball player and fan.
J Fans Want Hitting; All Freak Halls May Go
TUB exaggerated Importance attached to pitching has brought about .1
hltlesa era In basoball that tho fans Co not relish. Many years back
when the batter had tho leeway the samo extreme In play waV witnessed
as Is seen today. Tho batter was given too much latitude, hitting was too
'reejuent and the gamos became too long drawn out and tlresomo both to
plaers and spectators.
In order to shorten play ui.d reduce swatting the pitcher vv.is moved
loser In and elevated to a point where ho had a down-hill drag on the
atsman. This situation doubtless would have been satisfactory had not
uo pitchers discovered n. new method of further Increasing their advan
tage. Tills camo about through the adoption of freak dellvcrlos. which
fr-oduced deceptive, breaking bnlls calculated moro than over 10 make the
batter take the count. The In caking point seems to have arrived. Nearly
everybody realizes tho necessity of giving the batter a better chauco In the
interest of injecting pep Into play, and n general dtscusIon now Is waging
which may result In every variety of crazy delivery being abolished. Tho
action of the American Association as a pioneer In this field of reform has
given pronounced Impetus to the general movement.
President Tercy Haughton, of tho Boston Braves, attempted to lead In
an Increased hitting reform last year, and while ho succeeded In lining up
some other league magnates, ho was unable to put across tho elfort. Of lato
Magnate Drcyfuss, of Pittsburgh, bus been plugging along the samo Hue.
Ha Is against every form of freak or comouflago Hinging, including tho
spit ball, tho shlno ball, tho knucklu ball, tho emery ball, tho 10M11 ball, tho
licorice ball, tho salivated ball and the fine-cut, plug or twist ball. Ho would
remove alt moisture and tnako tho performance a bone-dry uifnlr. Big
Alex, tho Iron Man, also favors a natlun-wldo dry situation, ns far at least
as pitching Is concerned.
OLD JAWS GANZBL. now mogullng at Kansas City. ays all the
freak stuff ought to go. Tho fans want to soo hitting, ho opines,
and he says It is an abnormal situation to give the pitcher all tho
advantage. Ho states that tho only practical way to put through
the rerorm demanded Is not merely to legislnto against foolish deliveries-,
but to refuse to allow a pitcher to put his hands up to his
mouth.
Ebbets Will Pag Half Salaries During War
FEW leaders In big leaguo baseball affairs liavo received as much un
favorable publicity as long-time owner Churles H. Ebbets, of tho
Brooklyn Dodgers. Ho has been uocused of two things chiefly. One of
these to commercialism and the other mo: 0 commercialism in holding on
to that which he had received. He has been dcclarod by somo tighter than
Barney Dreyfuss, and by others as a man who cared nothing for the sport
and classed right along with Charles Webb Murphy as u true baseball
menace.
An announcement that veil proves the stanch patilotUm of tho much
criticized magnate Is to tho effect that he will reward the loyalty to tho
1 atlqn of those players of his team who either have been drafted or liavo
olunteered to serve their country. All such players will rocelvo half of their
contract salaries during the entiro period of tho war. And Inasmuch as
Brooklyn probably was hit harder by the war than nny other National
League team, somo idea may bo had of the largo amount of money sure to
be Indirectly donated by hlra to tho country's cause. And certainly his
Action is a. stroke that will bring applause both from players and public.
0 A GISNEItAL announcement of like charaoter would greatly boost
t-the gamo and serve to rolleve tho sport of tho criticism of many
that It is too commercial and Is not making Us due war sacrifices.
Also it would serve to- relievo to a large oxtent financial sacrifices
forced upon players In giving up fanoy salaries and accepting in
many instances an amount per month little more than thoy were
accustomed to receive a day during tho playing season.
Plant Now Stockholder in Boston Braves
MOItTON F- PLANT, who owns tho New London ball club and Is a
stockholder in the PhllUos, has made another move. It was learned
recently that Plant had become slightly Interested In the Boston National
?(Casiu club. The owners pf the Bwcs asked Plant to purchase a few
