7 5118.?During the in-
ter Months
Joli! learner. winner of three
W pensnta and two consecu—
tive world'- championships. is go-
“ to be a big trading factor at the
loaning December meeting in Chi-
cago. Incidentally. he is plantain: to
" snake more than one shift in a line-
up which critics two short months
's‘o believed would be intact for a
few salons to come.
The big trade with the Braves a
week ago made this very evident.
‘Who would have figured even in
October that the clever Bancroft.
m brainlest man in the Giants' in-
field. would be allowed to depart?
And how ofter has McGraw cut
loans tho’relns on a player like
Bungel. after the latter had com-
mitted himself so splendidly in that
nontful brush with the Yankees?
Yet the Little Xapoleon is all pro—
I pared to rebuild a machine which
last April looked pretty nearly let-
tor perfect. McGraw has no use for
failure, and he seldom scents ex-
cuses. Determined to win. and at
any cost to curb the growing popu-
larity of the New York American
league team in Gotham. the Giants'
manager contemplates some startling
moves. and the trading market in
Chicago some three weeks hence is
apt to mark some very important
deals.
Some critics profess to believe
,2 that his acquisition of Bouthworth
and Oeschgcr were made with the
View towards exchanging this pair
fora-tar which the Gianis want
badly. Rumors insist that Hoiloch-
:'- _ er and perhaps Rogers Ilornsby may
be lured to the Giant fold.
T ’ Every National league manager is
worried to death at the thought of
what McGrnw may spring on his ri-
vals in the “'indy City. for the Gi-
ants’ bank roll is unlimited, and be-
sides this he has such a wealth of
trading mntci'ini in his own outfit
as well as in minor league teams all
over the country that he can come
pretty near pulling through any deal
he figures will benefit his team.
There are others besides those ri~
Val managrs who are worrying. too.
For instance lhvrc are scvrai indi—
vidufjs now on lh New York pay roll
who may find themselves drawing a
transfer as a disagreeable Christmas
present. John Mcflraw insists upon
discipline as wall :is courage in his
athlete-s. and when one of his hired
men slips up as regards either as-
set he might as well resign himself
to that fact that he is to move on-
ward. Two pitchers who failed Mc-
Graw in the last \i'orld's series. and
one or‘two other men whom the
little manager found. it necessary to
reprove for brrzachos of club rules.
will be thrown on the Chicago mar-
kc! without anw hesitancy.
The Giant infield may be shifted
around a bit. too, as the riesult of
the recent and impending trades.
Young Jackson. now destined. it
would seem to step into Bancroft‘s
shoes as a regular may he played at
some other point in the primary de-
fence. Big George Kelly may ilnd
his status lowered a bit too for his
failure to come through better this
past season. Last spring on the
training trip there were just three
men lighting for “this first baseman's
Job. with O'Connell. the former
coast star, and left handed Jack
Bentley. both desirous of outsting
install first sucquer. Kellly even-
tually won out. but there is no cer-
tainty that either of his two rivals
will not displace him for the season
of 192.4.

nearly every time he tried '.i. he
