Now that Dave Bancroft, Mar shortstop of the Giants, been traded to the Boston Braves, Frank Frisch is almost certain to be Appointed captain of the National League champions to succeed Ban aroft. No announcement has been made as yet as to who will be hos en to captain the Giants, nor is an} Ranouncement likely to be made un til some time after Manager John MoGraw returns from his trip to Europe, but baseball men are of al most the unaminous opinion the former Fordham star will be the next field. manager of the local National 'League Club. Several days before the deal between the Giants and {he Braves was 'completed, McGraw was discussing the ability of Frisch Fhe remarks were: made in con. Bection with the demand recent was be traded to the New York Club, Frisch would have to be handed over to the St. Louls team. Some of these remarks are particularly significant now that McGraw "will have to appoint a new captain ,and they tend to show that the Giants' manager will give the job to Frisch "I wouldn't consider trading Frisch at all," said McGraw. <I would refuse. to trade ~ him alone for (Hornsby or {any other mplayer In baseball. Frisch is every bit 88 good a ball player as Hornsby, and in addition he is younger than the St. Louis star. He 1s a piayer who is constanly improving and even yet he has not reached the Hmit of his ability. His improve ment during the past few years has been remarkable. A few years ago I was not able to depend on him to direct the infield play, but lately ? have depended on him consider- ably for this important work. "During the past 'zeason when Bancroft = was forced out of the lineup for quite a time, his ab. sence hurt the team little if at all. This was due to the fact that Jack.

He #howed splendid judgment and the infield worked just as smoothly as | if Bancroft had been in the game." ------ "Has.Had Romarkuble Career. Frisch has had a remarkable ca- Teer since coming to the Giants in June, 1919. He has been not only highly succesful as far as ability #8 concerned, but he has also pros- pered financially.

Oddly enough this was one of the few positions he had never played before. He was stricken with appendicitis early in 1920 and was out' of the game for {several months. Many well known baseball men, including MoGraw, have said that the Giants would probably have won the pennant that year had it not been for Frisch's absence from the Hne-up.
