CLIMBERS UNDERGO SUPREME
TEST AGAINST NEW YORKERS
Take on National League Cham
pions in Two Games, Playing
Tomorrow and Tuesday.
By "SENATOR."
The Climbers of 1913 set their first
real test tomorrow and Tuesday against
the New York Giants, champions of the
National League. Walter Johnson will
pitch tomorrow and Sir Robert Groom,
Joe Bngel and Tomasso Hughes will
probably figure with him in these two
contests. .Manager Griffith will spare
no pains to defeat the yet undefeated
Giants.
McGraw's outfit has swept grandly
through Dixieland, winning all of the
seventeen games played, usually by
large scores. That tne Giants are a
strong aggregation is beyond doubt and
they will fight hard to tame the Griff
men. Just who will twirl for the Giants is
not known, though Jeff Tesreau,
Christy Mathewson. Rube Marquard.
and Al ilemaree are expected to ap-'
pear. "No mound battle between John
son and Mathewson is scheduled for
this spring, but it would not be sur
prising to find them facing each other.
The Climbers thus far this spring
have not worked their heads off. They
fetarted in good" shape against the Phil
lies, winning both games here easily.
Then came some weak opponents and
the work of the home team fell off sur
prisingly fast. Brooklyn and Boston
should never have won a game at the
local park.
Season Opens Thursday.
The American. League season opens
Thursday and but three days inter
vene for the finishing touches to be
applied to the Climbers. Walter
Johnson, Bob Groom. Tom Hughes,
and Joe Engel are now ready for the
sound of the big gong. Cashlon. until
yesterday, was also considered in the
running. However, the quartet ready
should be able to swing the team
along until Cashlon. Boehllng. Dent,
Drohan, and Gallia arc in condition
for their best work.
Manager Griffith's noble joung ath
letes arc hitting like fiends. They
show plenty of speed in the field and
on the bases and seem about ready
for the big battles ahead. Of course
John Henry and "Rlppy" Williams
are not yet in the best of shape, but
1 llliams can go behind the bat and
his work with the flail is expected to
make up for some of his pegging
weakness.
The outlook is for some hard bat
tles this spring right at the jump.
John Henry should get into the line
up in a short time and that will go
far toward strengthening the Griff
men He may be assigned to handle
Cashlon and Boehllng, two of the
wildest lads on the staff, as the big
catcher has a soothing influence on
all such performers.
Veterans Are Hitting.
The veterans, the lads counted on to
deliver the goods, are all hitting the

Umpire Billy Evans, who recentlv re
turned from a stay at Hot Springs. "I
was much surprised at reading such re
ports in the Eastern papers. Wagner's
failure to play in the Pittsburgh series
was no doubt the cause for such a wild
rumor. His failure to play, however,
was simply due to his desire to nurse
his arm along slowly.
"Each year his arm gives him trou
ble. Of late years he lias found it best
to round his throwing whip Into form
slowly. Wagner has practiced regularly
at short, and played In all the games
between the Regulars and the Yanl
