GEORGE SMITH SHIFTS HIS
STYLE AND GAINS CLASS

GAINESVILLE, Fla, March 81
George Smith, former Columbia Uni-
versity pitcher, maybe a regular with
the Giants this year. And, all. be-
cause he has shifted hfs style back to
that he used when. moving down the
collegians at MoTnInEside HeightA
Joining the Giants with, an excellent
reputation, he failed It was because
he attempted to follow MatheWson's
style. He changed from a side-arm de-
livery to a decided overland delivery.
Last year, when the Dodgers pitch
ers were all shot to pieces, 'Wii6eFt
Robinson borrowed Smith from the
Giants. Quickly he made the. big fel-
low go back to the .side-arm. He
had no trouble, defeating the Giants
with his wicked Side-arm fast bail.
Hes going to stick to that deliv-
cry" says Manager MoCSrav.. with
that he can win a lot Of games In this
league. And I'm thanking. Robby for
hts wisdom"
