THE SP0RIljGHJ
BY cRANTLAND RICE.

Certain citizens one meets up and
down the highway Of this spiral exist
ence always insist that figures arc
boring, dull and inelastic.
Perhaps so.
Yet, there are frequent occasions
when we tire Of romantic figure and
find that daring adventure pals, where
we turn to the record book Of baseball
to liven things up.
In wandering through these records
one can light upon a sufficient num-
Der of queer and quaint turns to more
than make it all worth while.
In looking through the records, we
paused for a moment on the 1916 ca
reer of the Giants. After studying
the figures again, we found them to
offer one of the oldest turns in the
history of game replete with oddities
and SUCH
These figures We're absolutely be-
yond the dope-almost beyond belief.
Here is the situation: The Giants
last year played 152 ball games. of
which they won Sc and lost 66, the
same being reasonable enough. But
in separating these figures we come
upon this unusual turn:
OF their sc victories the Giants won
no less than 43 in two unhroken
| dashes. Here then was ball club
in,
games out of AZ starts.
That double performance at two
stages of the race would indicate
power enough to win pennant in a
romp.
But what of the other 100 games ?
Here we find the Giants won 43 and
| lost 66, leaving them percentage for
| these games of 1914. Cincinnati last
year had percentage of 1872. So did
st. Louis, in a tie for last place. So,
in spite of the fact that the Giants
won 43 games in 4S starts out of two
wild dashes, for two thirds of the year
they skidded along at the same clip
maintaine-. by the Cardinals and Reds.
| In all the span of baseball there has
never before been such an erratic turn.
For club to smash all records for
consecutive victories and still play a
/ tail-end clip over two thirds Of the
season is at least fairly close to some-
thing new beneath the SUM-"
You say this may be due to the fact
that the Giants had quite a different
lineup at the finish.
| On the other fin, take the roster of
their 80 games, where the same cast
officated. From the first IS Of these
they won and lost 10. or the last
II they won each start.
| 1.-THE Phillies," observes Colonel
Hugh S. Fullerton. haven't much of a

should say that Grover Cleveland Alex
ander was one OF the best little clubs
we have ever seen.
