_ NEW YORK, Feb. 28,—Msnager
John J. MeG-raw of the Giants is
'worrying over his holdouts.
Five members of the team who fig-
Ired prominently in the 1917 campaign
have refused "to sign the tapers," and
lie-Gram is making preparations today
for a visiting tour to bring the errant
atheletes into the fold.
The determined attitude taken by
several of the Giants caused Mcarnw
to cut his winter vacation in Cuba two
weeks short and hurry home, for. con—
trary to the belief that the New York
. club and other clubs in both big lea-
. goes would refuse to make overtures
to players this year, the mamates
are anxious to get their stars Into the
fold. .
Wants Robertson Badly
Ferdio Bcltupp. the star young south-
paw of the. Giants; Artie Fletcher. cal).-
tain and shortstop; Slim Gallo. 'Pol-
Perrit and Dave Robertson, are the
Pllyers ‘McGraw intends to visit.
Schupp and Fletcher are simply hold-
lnx out for more money. but Robert-
non says he is through with profes-
Ilonal baseball.
Getting all of the plavers signed up
and In the training camp at Marlin to
begin spring pratice with the rest at
the squad, is highly important to the
' Giants. and hobertson's name to a con,
tract_ is considered imperative. Mc-
Ornw has several recruit outfieldern In
wmtoit. Thorpe and Younz. but none
of this trio can fill Robertson's
ohoes.
George Burns, crack left fielder. who
has been holdinr, otii with other mem-
bers of the team. signed his contract.

The sensational work of the Reds In
1917 was one of the brialit features at
the National Hague race. Their cleva.
tion from the gutter was sudden and
unexpected. They outbatted other
teams and fillded well enough to class
with the best as a workadav club. if
they had been blessed with a stronacr
pitching staff: they might have made
the Giants bump up to the lasthour to
beat them out.
This year the Reds arc practicall.v
