GIANTS HOPE TO DUPLICATE FEAT OF LAST SEASON i fly Alan Gould (Associated Preas Sports Editor) MIAMI BEACH. Fla., Mar. 13 tJPt The combination of rare pitching, ex traordinary fighting spirit and op portunism, which carried the New York Giants on a surprising flight to the baseball heights last season, has blended with tropical balmlncus this spring to produce an uncut brand of confidence in the camp of the world champions. As viewed now under Florida's blls terirur sun or mellow moonlight It wasn't "luck and the breaks" but skill that swept the team to the top. Instead of being due to a fortuitous chain of event or a manifestation of the art of making a little go a long way. It was the result of foredght, development and aggressive "percent age" baseball. In short,. Mr. Will Terry's cheerful young men and old. along with their partisans, now look upon the Giant as a team destined to prove there was not the slightest "fluke" about all that startled the bnieball world lost year. As a matter of fact there Isn't much nourishment for the opposi tion or the skeptics, who doubt that Hu bbel I. 8ch un iac her and Pormelee will duplicate their pitching feats of 1933 or that the team as a whole will click so effectively an a winning- unit In the National league this year. All but one of the major develop ments, the Illness of the No. 1 back stop, ous Mnncujo, with an attack of typhoid, has been calculated to strengthen the Giants chances. Johnny Verge, has completely re covered from his operation for appen dicitis last September and Is ready for a big your, Not only are the pitching- heroes of 1933 all In good health but Terry has every reason to expect a come-back by William Wat win Clark, no longer worried by III nei and potentially one of tho best southpaws in the j league. To cap the climax Travis Jackson, the team captain, has so far recovered his agil ity an to recapture the shortstop Job from the colorful Blondy Ryan, whose fplrited work proved so vital to the club's ftuccea last year.

FAILURE TO PLANT FORFEITS CHECK Farmers with wheat adjustment contracts, who do not olant anv The wheat contract specifies that contracting farmers must plant at least 54 per cent of their base acreage for the years 1930 to 1932. An administrative ruling on the non -olant ine In 1934 states that this will have no effect nmn thp 1033 payments made or to be made, nor W1U it affect 1935 payments provided j farmers plant the minimum acreage j for that year. If a farmer plants less than his 54 ner cent rwmtrement for 1934, his 1934 payment will be in the proportion that his plantings are to his minimum requirement.
