The news of the Cardinals leap into
first place will cause some consterna-
ton among the enthusiastic Giant fans
of a speculative turn of mind. These
fans were so optimistic at the start OF
the season, when the Giants forged to
the front, that they bet that McGraw's
men would not be headed during the
entire season.
OF course, the weather aided and
abetted the Cardinals. With all of
their men in shape and all games
played according to the schedule, the
Giants might still be leading, but this
is no consolation to the enthusiasts
who forgot the eccentricities of the
May weather and the brittleness of the
athletes.
The rise of the Cards also goes to
prove that you can tell very little
about baseball teams during the early
spring. One expert, after seeing the
Giants and the Cards in action during
the uncertain month Of April, said: IF
the Giants lose one game to the Cards
there ought TO be an investigation By
the National Commission" OF course,
the Giants and the Cardinals have not
vet met in mortal combat, but the
Cards are leading the National League.
