John McGraw Worried, But Confident Giants Will Hit Stride Shortly Powerful New York Aggregation in Serious Slump: Strange Case Baffles Bosses.

F r „ilr4 rrrNEW YORK. May 16.—Thf ft range ras r of the New York Chant., is baffling the baseball world. Most of the National League managers and leading players agree that the Giants have one of the best dubs in the league, but. they were in seventh place today, having won only seven out of eighteen games. Hunting for the flaw in the Giants is like hunting for a needle, ip a haystack. The Giants have had no serious misfortunes to handicap them. You must look farther than injuries to discover the Giants' ailment. .fohn MeGraw's absence from the team because of sinus trouble may have played its part, but the Giants have been without McGraw before and still been able to win games.

Field of Twenty-One Likely to Parade to Post Saturday. KARL EITEL SHINES Coughlin Colt Makes Great Time in Mud, : * y r „...a r..,. LOUISVILLE. K-., May l*.—Wet or dry. a field of twenty-one thoroughbreds is likely to start in the fifty-fifth running of the Kenj tijck.v Derby classic at Churchill | Downs. Saturday. Tt has rained almost continuously .-liner Sunday and the chances of a fast track are conside-ed no better than even. Col. F. R. Bradley s Blue Larkspur and H P. Gardners Clvdr Van Dusen continue as favorites and probably will go to the post as such. Blue Larkspur is 3 to 1 and Clyde i Van Dusen. 5 to 1. Naishapur. winner of the Tia Juana Derby, is getting considerable play and may eo to the post the | third choice. The odds on the far western colt have dropped to 6 to 1. Another entry on which the odds have dropped is John -J- Coughlin’s Karl Eitel. who ran the full Derby ! distance of a mile and a quarter in the smashing time of 2:09 3-5 Wednesday over a poor track. The Nut. fourth in the Preakness. worked the Derby route in 2:15 4-5. and Folking. another colt which ran in the Preakness. turned in 2:15 for the same distance. Minotaur, which ran .second in the j Preakness and was purchased two j hours before the race by John R. | Thompson Jr. of Chicago, went a mile and an eighth in 1:56 2-5. pulling up to the Derby distance in 2:13 1-5. breezing under strong restraint.

McGraw has two capable assistants in Ray Schalk and Bert Niehoff, smart, veteran players who have themselves piloted ball clubs. McGraw refuses to believe that the Giants are not pennant contenders and he sticks to the theory' that they will throw off their slump any day now. “I'd be foolish to say that the Giants don't have me worried,” he said before leaving for Boston with the team. “I don't know what's wrong with them. If I did I would correct it. “This team reminds me somehow of my 1916 team which lost eleven of its first thirteen games, but won [ seventeen straight games and was in ! second place June 1. Later we set a record which has never been equaled by winning twenty-six straight games. When we i o get going, we are going to be as hard to stop as we were to start."

They demanded to see the card and sure enough Tom had a 94, but it was for nine holes. MOORE reports he had a 108. and it was his second time out this year. The course was watered well by the rain Monday and Tuesday and the fairway grass was a little long. Likewise it was the first time out for many more of the boys and by the time the June meet rolls around the scores should be better. Trying to figure out the scores is a mathematician's job. Mocrc said, and he will be occupied some time. tt tt tt Chaillf. Huey. T)urh*m and Kellogg nlaved in ons foursome. Moore plaved with Fred Tucker. Fred Palmar and Bill Hurd.

All of the boys have played in the annual Indianapolis Times tournament the past couple of years and we are familiar with their brand of golf. Billy Reed, ace of the Shortridge team, was matched with Stone, pivot man on the Manual quartet, and he alone was able to score a victory. Bill shot a low round and finished 2' 2 to U on top. tt tt a Rader of Manual defeated Fllis 3-0 and Pottage of the Red team triumphed by the same score over Marvin Heckman of Shortridge.

Art Shires Jumps ‘Lena’; Sent Home •Rebel Rookie' Takes a Couple of Swings on Sox Boss. p„ 7 n<‘rd Press CHICAGO. May 16.—Art Shires, “bad boy rookie" of the Chicago White Sox. was reported today en route to his home in Italy, Tex., while his erstwhile manager. Lena Blaekburne. nursed a blackened eye and a lacerated right ear. Incensed at an indefinite suspension and SIOO fine plared on him earlier in the day. the rookie attacked Blaekburne in the Sox clubhouse after Wednesday's game. Swinging rights and lefts viciously. Shires knocked Blaekburne to the floor, when he was stopped by other players, and the youngster escorted from the park by a policeman. The first was the culmination of a series of incidents in which the battling Texan has figured since he won and lost the team captaincy during spring training as well as the regular first baseman’s job. Shires appeared for batting practice with a brilliant red hat and Blaekburne told him brusquely to “stop the burlesqueing." Heated words were exchanged and Shires drew the fine and suspension. He watched the game from a boxseat. and then made his way to the clubhouse, shouting as he entered: “You've driven me from baseball, damn you. Take that ” Shires was purchased from Waco. Tex., last summer and made a fine showing late last year. He was given the regular first baseman's job and the team captaincy until suspended for breaking training rules this spring.
