MOM
GIANTS OF OLD
DAYS IRE GONE
Callen Cain Noted Sports
Critic Shocked at Sedate
Way of Training.
CALM BEFORE A STORM?
ie Ventures to Think Blus-
ter Will Come Later;
How They Strike Him.
Cullen Cain Philadelphia sports
writer whose masterful writings
and keen knowledge of sports have
earned him a nation-wide reputa-
tion. is touring the major league
training camps for his paper. He
was in San Antonio Tuesday and
took a look at the New York
Giants. He is perfectly frank in
his opinion presented for The
Light below.
By CllljEN CAIN.
Where are the scrappy raspy ram-
pageous Giants of yesterday? The wind
has blown them all away. Fletcher
Doolin and Doyle; where are they?
And Bresnahan the terror from Tralee?
Even McGraw himself is sedate this
spring. The tropic sun has softened
his brain-blizzards to zephyrs. gentle
as halm as they wander over the gulf
stream sone. I watched the Giants at
practice Tuesday in amazement. They
were as mild and quiet and mechanical
as a missionary meeting in Boston.
McGraw was there batting to the
infield in practice and taking his regu-
lar turn at the bat. All of the first
team players were lined up for the
final flourish but there was no pepper
in the pot or flame underneath.
1 asked a veteran New York sports
writ# about them and be sadly quotb
unto me: “Yes that is their gait this
year. They do not talk much and their
spirit and fight are one with Ninevah
god Tyre. The White Sot came over
•tore and beat us simply because they
bad more gab and gimp and gumption.”
So Good So Pepper Needed
That infield the greatest in the
game; but it is dumb I Well maybe
it is so good it does not need to spark
and cackle and flame. The Giants
need to be the hardest fighters in base-
ball. and I found them here down
towards the end of the training camp
tour the quietest team of all those
ia the Southland. An umpire watch-
:i»* this team perform would dream
' dreams of a happy summer. And would
he? Maybe be would see it through a
glass darklv as the spring calm before
! summer storm.
And it is a quiet team off the field.
In tb* hotel lobby these Giants of to-
day sit around silent and sednte. No
horseplay no laughter not even a de-
bate of beat aud emphasis.
They regard the youngster. Skinners
as the find of the season. He will un-
dertake to fill George Burns’ place in
the outfield. Bancroft is heavier this
year than last and is in much better
health. Frisch who was spiked the
other day. is out again and will soon be
well. All the other regulars are in good
form. It is simply a question of pitch-
ing with McGraw.

bis arm seems to be alright. Toney is
working bard. Jonnard is the only re-
cruit pitcher who neems to show much.
Barnes and Douglas the world series
stars are uncertainties; they may pitch
wonderful ball and they may not. Time
alone can tell. Shea may show this
It is a question of pitchers; only that
and nothing more. A stronger infield
than last year; a weaker out-field.
Same pitchers; one sure to be good
two uncertain and Toney about through.
Shea and Jonnard as possibilities.
The weather bes been ideal. I never
saw such a blue sky and such a soft
breeze. By my faith! the balm in the
climate seems to have stolen all the
Giants’ battle and bluster and bravado
away.

DATES MADE PUBLIC
FOR 1924 OLYMPIAD
BY FRENCH OFFICERS
First of Winter Sports Jan-
uary 20—Last Olympic
Event July 28.
Paris Mareb 22.—A complete sched-
ule for tbe Olympic Games of 1924 has
been prepared by the French Olympic
committee although the site of the
meet ia still in doubt. Following out
tbe determination to give nil competing
nations ample time to prepare for the
events and the journey to Paris dates
have been set for all forms of sport on
the program. The competition has been
divided into three groups consisting of
winter spring and summer games with
the opening event set for January 20
and the closing contest July 28.
The various forms of skating compe-
tition which will inaugurate the eighth
Olympiad will continue from January
20 to February 5.
The other events will be held in the
following order: Rugby football. May
3-18: association football May 15-June
1; shooting June 28-July 7: athletics
June 28-July 13; fencing June 29-July
4: water polo June 29-July 4; tennis
uly 6-13; yachting une 24-July 17;
swimming. July 12-20; gymnastics. July
18-23; bicycle road racing July 23;
track racing July 28; boxing July
10-19.
While these dates are subject to
change should a majority of tbe compet-
ing nations request it is expected that
future variations will be minor as tbe
French committee adhered to the re-
quest of tbe international federation to
prepare a program which could be com-
pleted in approximately a month of com-
petition.
Although the United States Is ex-
pected to enter teams in virtually all
the contests tbe American athletes will
be particularly interested in track and
field competitions. According to the
present arrangements of dates the
French Olympic stadium will be opened
with appropriate ceremonies including
the grand parade of all nations on Sat-
urday. July 5.
Active competition will begin on Sun-
day. July 6. with heats in tbe sprints
hurdles and several field events. But
one final the 10060-metre track race
will be run on tbe opening day. Co: pe-
tition will be confined .-clusively to the
afternoons and the fine' hletic event
will be the running of the marathon
race which is set for Sunda- July 13.
The period selected for major portion
of the games is a full month in advance
of the dates of the Antwerp meet of
1920 and is thought to be particularly
suitable for the American athletes to be
at their best Final trials and elimina-
tion tests for the United States athletes
would follow within a few days after
the big intercollegiate contests held late
in May and early in Ju throughout
that country and would find the college
athletes at the height of their training.
The team probably would aail tbe sec-
ond week in June and have a week or
ten days in which to finish training in
or near Paris before entering the initial
events set for July 6.

Houston Tex. March 22.—Following
a seven-day period of rest during which
the spring term examinations have been
in progress Coach Bob Countryman
will get his Rice baseball team into ac-
tion against tbe Corsicana entry in the
Texas-Oklahoma League on March 25
Charley Miller who patrolled an outer
garden for tbe Ruffs last season is
manager of the Corsicana club and has
brought his talent to Houston to train
while the grandstand and grounds are
being put in condition at Corsicana.
Before practice was suspended the
Rice team won two practice affairs
from entries in the Houston City
League. Dyer showed splendid form
in the second of these contests allow-
ing only one hit and striking out four-
teen in seven innings. This big left-
hander is due for a great season. Dun-
kerley. another sidewheeler is showing
good form as ie Melton still another
twirler who serves there from the wrong
side. Simpson righthander showed a
good fast ball and a good curve ball in
the few innings thnt he worked in the
practice sessions. This quartet of pitch-
ers should give Countryman a strong
staff.

erence as he has had a season of ex-
perience iu the conference.
At first base. Adams a Jentral High
School product seems to be about the
class of the field. Waters at tbe key-
stone station has shown some classy
work. Goodwin is also showing well at
second and a merry battle is due be-
tween these two athletes. Dutton a
letter man from last year's team seems
to have speeded up after a summer in
semi-pro ball and is due for a great
season at short. At third. Swartz
should go good after two seasons of
play in semi-pro circles.
The outfield will be led by Capt.
Jimmy Hughes who has won two letters
in baseball and who is playing his last
season for tbe Grey and Blue. Locke
a freshman product little of stature
and strong of arm will cavort before tbe
center field bleachers this season. When
not doing mound duty Dyer will round
out an outfield trio. When Dyer is
working in the center of the diamond
Boettcher will probably loaf in the lazy
field.
The Owls open their conference sched-
ule with A. and M. at Houston on
March 30 the second gnme to be played
the following day. Following these
two battles 8. M. U. will be visitors
at Rice field on April 5 and 6. On
April 10 tbe Owls will play the Hous-
ton Buffs at West End park. After
this game tbe Owls will journey to
Waco for a pair of games with Baylor;
then Texas A. and M Baylor and
8. M. U. will be played in the order
named.
