BILLY EVANS to be considerable
difference of opinion on that point.
The fact remains that the Giants
could beat the Pirates almost as
they pleased. With scarcely month
to play, Pittsburg enjoyed seven
and onc-half game lead. Then fol
lowed fiVe-game series between
New York and Pittsburg, the former
winning five straight. That was the
blow that killed the Pirates.
GIANTS ARE NOT
GREAT BALL CLUB
The New York Giants are not a
great ball club. There are no great
teams in either the American or Ma
tjonal League However, The Giants
are a game, hustling aggregation,
led by two of the most aggressive
managers in the game, John Nc
Graw and Hughey Jennings. Such a
combination Of PLAYING strength and
leaaership makes the Giants size
a pretty formidable aggrcga-
ton To- beat in world series, which
calls for gamcness and aggressive
ness more toan anything else
Good pitching is most essential for
peuuant winning team. During
the greater part of the 1921 cam
raipn the Giants did not yet good
pitching. Don't get the impression
from that statement that the Giants
are lacking in capable pichers. 1t
lust seemed that at no one time was
McGraw able to have four pitchers
working smoothly.
During the greater part of the sea-
son, the last month Of play except
ed McGraw usually had only two
pitchers ON whom he could depend.
The dependable pitchers were not al
ways the same fellows. For perhaps a
MONTH two certain pitchers would
carry the burden and then, as two
others would round into form, the
two dependable would develop a
mediocre streak

TWO WONDERFUL
RIGHT HANDLERS
In Toney and Barnes McGraw has
Two c9rNing good right-handcrs.
These two veterans are going rather
than coming and | doubt if either is
us good as he was three or four
years ago. They have passed their
peak. Pitching sooner or later ex-
acts its toll on the good old arm.
The rough going that the great
Johnson and Alexander have had ir
spots during the past season is mute
evidence of the fact. Toney at one
time had terrific speed, and depended
on it To very large extent Since
going o the Giants he has altered
his style considerably. Occasionally
he busts fast one through, just
to remind The batters that the old
''amokc bali is still there. However.
fair speed, good curve and a nice
change of pace arc now his strong
point, Which simply means thai
Toney is pitching more intelligently
than when speed was his main asset,
The case Of Barnes is very much
similar to that Of Toney. All of which
merely goes TO prove that the New
York pitching staff is go~d but not
great.

Despite the disadvantageous footing
no more inspiring race could have
been wished for by the 10000 or so
spectators who braved misty cold
weather than the two-mile college
relay championship. And that event
not only was splendidly contested. but
it brought forth what perhaps was the
most noteworthy performance by an
individual during the afternoon.
Campbell Runs Great Race.
1t was Campbell. last runner for
Yale. who furnished the outstanding
feature. In third place at the be-
ginning of the final two laps. he had in
front of him Eby of Pennsylvania and
Higgins of Iowa State. the latter a
member of the team which broke the
world two-mile relay record week
ago. Eby tried hard to get in front of
Higgins on the backStretch on the last
lap and did for perhaps fifty yards.
Higgin,. put forth all his efforts to-
ward Atalling off Eby's rush. and
neither seemed to take into considera-
tion the runner just few yards back.
Higgins was leading fifty yards
from the finish line. and as each pre-
ceding Iewa runner had managed to
develop safficient sprint and stamina in
the stretch to get his mate in front
it seemed to be n momentary SUPPOSE
ton that Iowa State. more familiarly
known as Ames. would win. However.
Campbell. despite the hard race he had
run to make up the few yards he was
behind, with show of more reserve
power than anybody believed he had.
or more than any ordinary star would
have had, rushed by the struggling
Ames and Pennsylvania runners and
broke the tape a winner for Yale by
four or five yards.
Runs Half in 1.54.
Just how brilliant was the effort of
Campbell may we'll be realized when
it is made known that he ran that last
half mile in 1.54, brilliant mark
even on track in excellent condition
and truly remarkable under conditions
of today. The time for the race was
