McGraw Optimistic On 1926 Giants Pitching Staff
New York, Jan. 23. John McGraw, a professional optimist, says the 1926 Giants may field their best pitching staff since 1905. He cites Kent Greenfield, Red Fitzsimmons, Virgil Barnes, Lefty Nehf, Hugh McQuillan and others, but cautions that Greenfield and Fitzsimmons must deliver. The writer doubts the 1926 group can match the 1905 or 1917 staffs and notes Greenfield and Fitzsimmons have limited major league experience thus far.
