NEW YORK GIANTS LOOK LIKE WINNERS Dopesters See 1914 Pennant Swinging Over Park For the Fourth Time.

Rowe's Team Faces Game Tonight.

Stiff

NEW YORK, March 28. It looks just now as if the New York Giants will grab off the 1914 pennant in the National league, thereby turning the trick that no team in modern baseball has been able to turn winning a pennant four times In a row. The Phillies, looked upon as being able to give the Giants a real fight all the way to the wire, have been shot to pieces by the invading Federals. With. Seaton and Brennan now performing in Federal uniforms, the Phillies' pitching strength is at least 35 per cent weaker than it was at the close of the 1913 season. The action of Second Baseman Otto Knabe, and Shortstop Doolan in going over to the Feds has wrecked the inner breatsworks of the Phillies, and Manager Dooin has no one among his recruits that looks able enough to jump into the vacated boots and perform in real style. Cubs Not Dangerous. The Cubs are not looked upon to furnish any real trouble this season. The Cubs in the old days stacked up as one of the best aggregations in baseball history. But the going of Tinker, Chance, Evers, Brown, Reulbach, and a few of the other stars has reduced the outfit to little more than a Becond division organization. Pittsburg, and possibly the Boston Braves, are the only teams that loom up just now as strong enough to keckle the Giants. The Pirates seem to have been greatly strengthened in the infield by the trade with the Cardinals, but the showing of the club depends quite a lot on what the pitchers will do. If the hurlers can strike a steady stride at the start of the season and keep it up, Wagner, Viox, Mowry. et al., may be counted upon to do their share in the uplift work. The Giants' pitching staff sizes up as the best in the league. Mathewsrni, Marquard, Demaree and Tesreau constitute a quartet that seem to have enough skill and power to grab off about 70 per cent of their games. In addition to this quartet the New Yorkers have a few new f lingers who may breeze along at a winning gait and who may not. At any rate, they'll get a chance to show their wares during the summer, and if they succeed in annexing at. least half of their games, and the "big four" shows up to standard, the Giants ought to rom home with an average of .T5 a mighty husky one for the other contenders to shoot at.

Abe Rowe and his squad of all-star basketball chasers left this afternoon on the 4:55 for their invasion of Mlddletown, Ohio, where the local team will meet the strong independent five of that place tonight. Six men made the trip Rowe and Logan, forwards; Harrington, center; Fitzgibbons, Schepman and Caster, guards. Rowe and Logan, who worked together on the Earl ham five will cause trouble for the Buckeye defense men, while Jim Harrington is expected to hold down his end of the argument. In "Irish" Fitzgibbons, "Spot" Schepman and "Entry" Caster, the Richmond crew is well fixed in the guarding department. That Middletown has one of the fastest quintets in the Buckeye state is certain. A month ago the local "Y" team met this team and was barely able to nose out the Ohioans by a fourpoint margin. Since that time the Middletown outfit has met some strong teams and it is the opinion of "Dopey" Erk, a former Richmond man, who now leads the team, that Rowe's men are up against a drubbing tonight.

CLUB TO ENTERTAIN SEMI-PB0J1NAGERS Baseball Men Discuss Plans For Meeting Here on April 5.

LAWSON IS LATEST ADDITION TO TEAM Cincinnati Man Will Cover One Section of Outfield For Kenney.

The vacancy in the Richmond baseball line-up that has been bothering Manager Kenney for some time has been filled, according to a letter from the leader of the Quaker team. "Cy" Lawson, who hails from Cincy, is the latest addition to the Richmond machine. Lawson will cover a section of Garden at the local park. Lawson has worked up quite a rep around this section of the bush. Cy is recognized as one of the best fielders in and about the Ohio metropolis, and is expected-to strengthen the local nine considerably. Lawson could be in the big circuits if it were not for the fact that his chief failing happens to be a desire to be free from a binding contract. With the addition of this latest recruit, the outfield of the Richmond team looks strong. Merkle and Sheppard, who will cover the other stands in the field are both fielders of known quantity. Merkle played -on the Richmond team last season and proved satisfactory, whil Sheppard held down a fielding job on the Covington team that prover to be the fastest seen here last summer.

Plans for the entertainment of the visiting managers of semi-pro teams that will meet here April 5, were discussed at the meeting of the directors

of the Richmond Baseball club last i night. : No committees were appointed at the meeting but the men who will ' have charge of the different lines of j work will be named soon. Inasmuch ! as baseball men of approximately! twenty-five different teams will be : here for the meeting, the local club backers plan to show the visitors real j Quaker hospitality. i The matter of advertising was j taken up at the meeting. The direc-! tors have decided to use the large j colored lithographs that are used in j the larger cities. The lithos are in : the form of a poster and represent j prominent stars of the game. The ; posters are done in many colors and are attractive. j The question as to whether or not the park should be turned over to the Eagles lodge for their carnival .was ! taken up. The carnival would be held the latter part of May, at the time the baseball season would be in full swing and it is thought that the shows would interfere with the playing of scheduled games. The club, however, i has the matter under consideration. !

SCHOOL'S BASEBALL TEAM TO PRACTICE AT ATHLETIC PARK All high school baseball games will be played at Athletic park hereafter. This was the decision of the directors of the Richmond Baseball association at their meeting last night. A communication from Manager Draper says that practice games would be held between the Middleborough team and the high school nine next month. The practice of holding high school games at the playground in years past has been unsatisfactory. Although the diamond there is in a fair condition, the grounds are in no way as capable of staging fast play as at the ball park. Trouble in the way of admission to the play grounds has always occurred. The matter of practice games with the Middleborough nine is satisfactory to the members of the high school nine. By this means the local boys will have the advantage of work

ing with men who have had experi-'

ence in the game for years. The practice games will start as soon as Draper and his men reach the city, which will be some time about the first of April.

HAGERSTOWN, Ind., March 28. Hagerstown high school basketball five lost its first game on the home floor this season last night when the Iroquois team of Richmond took home the big end of a 45-20 count. The visitors were the fastest seen here for years. From the first whistle it was evident that the Hagerstown boys had met their match as the locals never had a look-in for the lead. Richmond was on the offensive at all times, while Hagerstown strove only to keep down the score. Richmond scored 19 points in the first half to but 7 for Hagerstown. Richmond's markers this half were due to the brilliant work of Webb and Kampe, each registering three fields. On the other hand the locals tallied but twice for field goals, due to the air-tight work of Parker and Pitts of the county seat bunch. The Iroquois continued their pace in the second frame. Kampe again was the big factor in the score of his team, trapping five baskets. Werking, center for the locals, came to the fore this half with four ringers, which swelled the Hagerstown count to the 20 mark at the shot. Every man of the visiting team displayed form. Kampe, Webb and Porter proved a trio of offensive men that had the local guards guessing all the time, while Parker and Pitts shone in the defensive. Werking did the best work for the losers.
