SARASOTA STAY PROVED NOTHING Florida Weather This Season Terrible and Hot Weather Team Like Giants Unable to Make Condition By JOHN K08TBR (C?1*24. Ii TIM ASmmO Jacksonville, Florida. April 2? The Northbound trip of the New York Giants, in which they are play ins * series of exhibition games with Chicago White Sox, should tell tt*e tale for 1924 about the Na tional League champions. Their stay In Sarasota, which they broke Saturday, did not tall much about the condition of the- team. The weather there was terrible. Even the native* admitted it. which la more than the natives of some states will do. And the Giants are a hot weather club, so they took things pretty easy. It can be said however, that the Giants are all right so far as arms, legs, necks, backs and pocketbooks are concerned. There is still some caiin iei( in ine ciun ror trival amuse ments on the train* going North and by the time they play their way to Chicago, the Giants should have all the spending money the White 8ox possens. That of itself will compen sate for many prior grievances. The chassis of the Giants presents two material changes. Travis Jack son is shortstop in place of Davy Bancroft, who Is managing the Bos ton Club this season. And in cen ter field. Southworth, former Bos ton right fielder, is treading the turf Casey Stengel trod last season. Jackson and FViaeh *tfll get better acquainted and much faster as they play side by side, but they probably will never he any faster than the old combination of Bancroft and Frlsch. Kelly. Groh, Krisch, Meusel and Young are all back in the positions In which they learned their game, and are back apparently as good as when they said goodbye to the polo grounds in 1923. That's all you can say about them. Maybe they're slower, but how Is anyone going to know until they are put to the real tqst ? They surely know how to > ? play, and that la?not to "be over-) J ?'?*<1 Th?\v are not the sort of i players you have to tell to do thlsi and that to acquire the final polish. If they haven't it now they never, will get it. To the backstops has been added I Atnunlfh. He vu frith St. Louis 1 last season but the Cards let him go. Through the spring they trained Just sixteen miles from Sarasota without a good aeasoned catcher. The Giants may need Alnsmtth. but goodness knows the Cards need / him worse. Besides Alnsmith. the Giants have Frank Snyder and Hank Gowdy. who. like Alnsmith. have been in the midst of top notch base hall. One floesn'* th'ii run around like school-boys at the start of the season, but when the smoke of battle blows thick these old fellows will decorate their grllYy scalp locks?If they have enough hair to make a scalp lock ?and sail into the game with a growl like that of a Tiger for the bone some weaker cat is trying to get away with. The team took a little trln through FlcfVlda before they hopped off for the North but did not show much. , In fact they looked pretty? bad with the bat but part of the time they were hlttfog against goqd pitching, and part of the time tWey were playing on slow diamonds. You .can't got the Giants* to exert themselves when they fear they will turn an ankle or pull a tendon. If they are doddering by the time they reach Chicago, there will doubtless be some changes. But It does not seem llkely'that this will bo necessary. There Is much excelent material In the rlub and when they really got under way they should show a lot more than they have in the Southland.

Looking ahead In the national Indoor tennis tournament now In progress In the 'seventh regiment armory In this |city,? there is the promise of a I thrilling finale. Vincent Richards ! versus Kratocis T. Hunter. Either one or two of the stars may fall down In the course of his progress toward the final round, but I the prospects of this seem remote.! I In Richards' memory, there lurk! | thoughts of the national singles At I Oermantown. when the ha^d hitting! Hunter eliminated the little New! Yorker from the tournament. Not! a pleasing memory, however, sports- j manlike was the spirit in which de-| feat was accepted. And for Hunter, there Is the stark fact that in spite of his victory aver Richards he was none the less rated below hin\ when the United States Lawn Tennis Assoclttlon ranking committee bent their Intellects to BASEBALL QUESTION BOX If you have some question to ask about baseball-?

Hunter, grim, heavy shouldered. deadly on his forehand; Richards, young, fragilo. master of all sorts of strokes.

The tourney is being weir attend-! eri and while the players may b?| finding some difference in the sortj of game they must play on this, brown wooden floor, from the spec-< tutor's standpoint, there Is no dif ference at all.
