three straight from Capt. Ward and his
fellows In the Monumental City. Rut
the Giants will have a great deal to dc
before the Orioles can accomplish that
feat. All that Ward and his boys ex-
pect are two Of the three games Let
the Orioles lose twice and New York
rooters need have no occasion to Kick:
