make a tour OF the world next winter
and play exhibition games In foreign
countries between the Giants and a
picked team OF players from both
major leagues. The plans OF the tour
have not been completed as yet, and
will probably not be announced for

The Yankees have only scored 20
TALES in their last dozen, games. a
little over two runs a game. which Is
very skinny scoring. Nine OF these
were made in the last three games

have made three runs In every game
