Giants Southpaw Has Com
piled a Wonderful Record
ip League.
FIRST OF NO-HIT GAMES

Those who argue that Southern train
ing trips are an unnecessary expense
and of doubtful benefit to ma jor league
teams are pointing out some of the
achievements of the young season to sup
port their contentious. The fact that the
Giants came North advertised as the VIC
Tins of bad weather and in supposed
state OF unpreparcdnesS and then pro-
ceeded to lambast the Dodgers with such
specialties as no-hit pitching and an in
dividual contribution of five hits in one
game does upset the common theory that
the well-known pink of condition is in
dispensable to a fast start.
There have been years when the
Giants returned to the Polo Grounds
trained to the minute only to be torn
off ingloriSusly in the opening series.
This year the fans were led to expect
mediocre performances in the April
games and have been aGreeably surprised
at tie outcome of the first two combats.
These things only go to prove that base
ball form" that intangible state OF eff
cheney that experts prate of. is some
thing that cannot bc bottled up and
measured out as needed. 1t is this un-
certainty that makes baseball great
game. No team is too powerful to avoid
pitfalls or too weak to accomplish the
unexpected at times.
