he sake OF throwing the hammer. one
OF the delightful pastimes which may
,e exercised IN various ways. there has /
been great deal Of diverting discussion
since the close OF the base ball season
as to the reasons why the Giants did not
win the championship Of 1910

ueekly asserted that he thought poor /
pitching had a great deal to do with IT, /
lie is only their manager, however, and |
probably does not know as much about
his players as some OF the learned citi- /
Gems. who sit in the seats Of the base ball
judiciary.

amssicration Of the condition OF man
kind and the ball player. the writer has
seen NJ to go through the games which /
we're played at the polo ground to dis
course. It might have been equally inter
esting to attest why the victories were |
won but nobody seems to be half so much |
concerned about victory as defeat-hence |
