the man they fear most on the Giants is
Tesreau That notion about the Red
Sox being easy for a left-hander Is all
wrong. There are only three left-handed
hitters on the team, Speaker being one
Of the trio. and he falls away and bats
a southpaw as easily as he does a right
fanded pitcher. But the Boston bunch
saw Tesreau work somewhere on an OF
day. and they all pegged him as a great
pitcher. They thought that his spitball

lost or won in the first part Of Septem-
