TI1I3 is an unusually large squad, but the boss of the Giants Is taking no chances. lie said he uould bo glad to look oxer a dozen more if there was a chance to discover one good moundsman. Failure of the pitching staff to como through when the going was rouch cost the New York club a few pennants, and McOraw Is taking no chances this year. Ills outfield. Infield and catching corps are well taken care of, so most of his tlmo Is upent with his hurlers. Christy Mathewson Is on the job as an assistant, but Jawn himself Is doing most of the work. George Gibson is lending some valuable assistance. tThere Is a spirit of optimism down here, but the men show no traces of overconddence. The arc seasoned veterans too old in the game to 'take anything for granted at this early date but realize they hae a fight ing chance to win the pennant and horn in on the annual divvy which fpllows the playing of the world series. - JT IB a hcaW'UHUiitj team, the men arc fast on the baaei, and on the attack should be the itrongest in the league. Defensively the Giants also look good, tcitti the exception of the pitching. That is the one and only problem to contend itlli. Giants Always Uncertain Proposition TN WIUTIXG about the Xew York club one cannot grow overenthusiastlc J--, about its chances to win the pennant. However, it must be admitted ffiat McGraw has an unusually strong aggregation of ball players and the "luiuro looks exceptionally bright. The outfield, which consists of George Burns, Benny Kauff and Ttoss Young, with Jim Thorpe as utility man, is a., fast-fielding, slugging gang of fence-bustero. Hal Chase, Larry Doyle, Arthur Fletcher and Heinle Zimmerman comprise a quick-thinking, steady, hard-hitting infield, and Lew McCarty and Earl Smith are high-class, brainy catchers. That's the present layout, and it certainly looks good on paper. Arthur Irwlrt, who now manages the Rochester club, was down here for a few dnys.and said It was the best ball team he ever had seen. Perhaps Arthur j. Is right, but one cannot forget the last three seasons principally 191G toi5, inn. ia.10 wnin uie uuuia aiso luuiieu goou, dui am everytning but win w the' pennant. f ,; , The Xew York club has been an uncertain proposition.

I : UHY ''omM a ball thrown by a left-handed outfielder or inflelder " curve more than one thrown by a right-liandcrf The Anatomical Mystery Golfing Southpaws rpiIESE two queries are based upon actual conditions. To begin with, - there are very few left-handed golfers who are any good to speak of when it comes to first-class golf. Here and there one may find an Isolated exception. But they are as far apart as Allied outposts along tho Siberian frontier. A This always has been another mystery to us. In baseball the left hander predominates at bat. Cobb, Speaker. Collins. Baker, on down the line, left-handers lead the lot. In lawn tennis Lindley Murray has prcvil I more than once that a left-hander can rank with the elite. Why Is It, then, that a left-hander can't hit a golf ball properly and hold his own with a right-hander? There must be some physical barricade which he can't hurdle, but we can't find any ono who can supply the answer. AXD why a left-hand swinger always carries a big slice attached to driver or brassle is beyond us. j Left-Handed Throtvers Use Overhand Delivery rjIRIS SPEAKER, one of the few left-handed peggers In outfield ranks, ' - is one of the most accurate sharpshooters In tho game. Yet even Tris I has a wide drift to the ball and has to allow for the same. ' We have talked to inilelders who worked with left-handed flvst base men, and they report the same phenomenon. This balllstlcal mystery, however, Isn't so much of a mystery. A large part of It is due to the fact that few left-handers have an overhand de livery. But why shouldn't a lefthander be able to employ an overhand de livery as easily as a right-hander does? So, after all, settling one mystery, we merely plunge Into another.
