And Santa is Charley Stoneharn, owner of the Polo Grounders. He sure liked the way Hank Thompson played third base last year. And he liked the way Monte Irvin polished the old apple as well as covered first sack. So he’s giving both boys well-deserved hikes in pay to keep them smiling and happy. The Giants go into training camp with four Negroes, two being rookies. Art Wilson, who is the utility fill-in man for the infield, and Ray Noble a catcher, the Giants hope will bolster that department. Both have excellent opportunities to stick since they had lots of seasoning in Triple-A baseball. Both did well in the Pacific Coast league. At the season’s end the Giants were playing the best ball in the league and surprised a lot of folks. With that experience next year, the Coogan’s Bluff gang will be even more confident and more dangerous. Motley Maintains Pro Rushing Lead NEW YORK. (ANP). Thunder ing Marion Motley, 238 pound fullback of the Cleveland Browns, | was idle last week, but main tained his league lead in rushing with 746 yards gained in 124 car ries.
