ROOKIE HELPING GIANTS IN DRIVE Eormer College Star Gets Chance After Sitting On Bench Long Time Now York, May 3 —(United Press) One of the most potent of the forces driving New York Giants in their early rush toward the National league pennant is a chunky little dentist. Dr. Eddie Farrell, formerly of the Utt versify of Pennsylvania and one of the few college stars who made the trip from the campus to the major leagues without a stop in the bushes. Like Billy Tetry, the first baseman and another power of the Giant attack, Farrell had to sit for several years on the bench pering patiently from a dark corner, waiting his chance. Terry got the chance and delivered when George Kelly was traded down the river to the Cincinnati Reds. Farrell got. his chance —and delivered —when Travis Jackson, the regular shortstop, was laid low with an attack of appendicitis as the club was moving north from the training camp. Farrell is the “acting regular” shortstop now and he may continue to aot for some time even after Jackson is able to play again. Farrell hasn't the finished grace of Jackson and he lacks Jackson's experience. He is just working into a double play combination with the Rajah Hornsby But he has driven in as many runs—and winning runs in the pinch—as any regular on the club. Two years ago in Sarasota, when the staff was being cut down, McGraw was asked where Farrell was going. “He’s going where we go for some time," McGraw answered. Some of the experts wondered what there was in the chubby little collegian that McGraw thought so well of but they admitted the Giant leader usually knew a ball player when he saw one. In the past winter wncn various and numerous Giants were being discussed as probable malerial for trades. Farrell's name was not mentioned. “McGraw likes that boy and you'll se»> him around next season." it was sa d And it is-a mighty gosd thing for the Giants that McGraw liked him and that he is around this year. ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ BASEBALL STANDINGS ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ NATIONAL LEAGUE W.
