Al Smith to Get Chance With Giants
Al Smith, a left handed pitcher and former Giants coach, is slated to join the 1934 staff as a regular pitcher with the Giants. Jim Tierney predicts Smith will carve a wider path through league batters next season as the club expands its staff. The Giants depart for the south around March 1 with likely salary stability and possible increases for stars like Carl Hubbell. The Yankees expect Babe Ruth contract discussions to occur in New York rather than Florida with Ruppert preferring a shorter negotiation period. Lou Gehrig has a secured two year deal signed last February.
