Deep silence. which may or may not be an expectant hush. reigns over the Giant offleesas John McGraw speeds home across the briny deep. Not so with the experts. who are busy doping new deals which McGraw MAY be planning. The latest one was that Eddie Roush was coming back to New York from Cincinnati. even as iieinio Groh had done before him. it was all figured out that. Billy Southworih and George Kelly were to be sent to the Reds for the great center tlcider_ nut reports from Cincinnati quote larry lierrmnnn. president of the Reds. as saying that he \thliiti iw willing. nny anxious. to ship l:uush here if— The "it" kills the swap, as he wants Billy.

As Frisch is one of the trio tilt“ Giant manager said would never be! uscd in trades. the other two being! l'ep Young and Travis Jackson. lid-l die itoush will not he a Giant next‘ year. if indeed McGrnw ever had thel deal in mind. Hcrrmann's intuition l-‘risch again points out the dit‘ticul-g ties which Mctiraw will face when he : enters the trading mart next week,‘ logers Horns-by would now be it' Giant of Mac. had been willing to part with his star second baseman. as Branch Rickey insisted that the lat- tcr must conic. to St. Louis in re- ttirn for llornsby. i Mctirnw really has very little“ trading material with which to work. .' and it is our guess that the little hel has will be used up to procure ad-i ditionnl pitching strength and not! star infielders or outfielder-s. The: Giant's dire need of a few pitchers seems to have been overlooked in the glare of the reported Hernslly and Hollocher negotiations. and more lutcly in the iloush story. \V’hy ililly Southworth is mentioned persistently l in trades in another mystery. as there seems to be no good reason for his being sent away from New York. The former Brnvc should be in center field for the National League champions when the 1924 season gets under way. ‘ The paucity of good pitchers in; the. senior league will make Mc- tiraw's task all the harder. No team in the circuit can afford to part with a star huricr. with the exception of the Brooklyn Dodgers. And Charlie l-lhbcts is still as firm as the rock of Gibraltar in his stand against trud— lng with the Giants. _ The most likely candidate for the Giants' pitching squad is Jimmy Ring. of the Phililes. Artie Fletcher could use some of McGrnw's spare parts. as the Phillies need rebuilding from the bottom up. President Baker. of the Quakers. is silent on a deal of this sort. and it is said that he is pondering the proposition. it is a good bet that the Giants and, Phillies will figure in a trade before the winter is out. Secretary Jim Tierney. of the Giants. and Judge McQuade protes- sed ignorance of the report from Paris that lchraw had arranged for a European tour for the Giants and “'hito Box next year if he could get Judge Landis's sanction. Tierney said that McGraw may have discussed such plans while abroad. but that he had not advised Giant headquarters of them. The Giants and “'hite Sox circum- navigated the globe in 1913. playing exhibitions in Japan. Australia. Egypt Italy. France and England.
