records being established in the Big
leagues this year are liable to stand for
many a season to come.
Batsmen in the two big circuits have
hammered the fence SO consistently that
has today reached 500, Or Ga more than
the grand total for 1920 which vas a
record bresk king year.
The reason that this years records
probably win stand for some time lies
in the fact that the lively ball is to Re
replaced next season By a standard bail
that VIII be less lively.
The ''frisky" ball, in short, is to be
allowed TO die a natural death when the
supply on hand runs out. which will be
at the close of the present season.
When final records for 1921 are com
piled it will be found that more play
ers hit ten homers or more than ever
before. Babe Ruth heads the list today
with forty four for his season total. He
needs but eleven more to break his 1871
record
The total number Of homers made this
year in the American League to date IS
351, against 342 in the National. Last
year American League players made sos
honers and National Leaguers 26l.
Nine American League players, in ad-
dition to Ruth, have ten or more homers
to their credit already. Seven National
Leaguers including George Kelly, have
registered ten or more circuit swats. The
players and their totals in home runs

FAIL AND FANS
ARE SAYING so
Giant Followers Become
Critical as Meusel, Stengel
and Causey Do Little.
HURLERS THE BIG NEED
BY HENRY FARRELL,
UnitAd Press Snorts Edifnr


NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-John NcGraw,
boss Of the New York Giants, has the
reputation of being a daring trader who
will go the limit to win a pennant. he
is one of the few managers Of the major
leagues who figures only on today, re-
lying on his money and prestige to get
club for tomorrow.
McGraw made such drastic moves this
year for championship that he has
wrecked his team. Instead of getting 4
pennant for himself he looks at the pres
ent time to have thrown it away.
New York fans are bemoauing the
trades that brought Irish" MeuSel,
Red" Causey and Casey Stengel to the
Giant fold with all the ven35aence that
the Pittsburgh and Boston fans protested
at the trades several weeks ago. It was
then charged openely that the wealthy
Giants were buying the pennInt by cut
bidding the other clubs that wanted
Meusel.
McGraw, although he was not in need
OF an outfieider, bought Meusel. the long
distance clOuter OF the Phillies for Walk
er, a promising young outfielder, Hen
line a good young catcher and a cash
sum said to have been between $4,000
and $4,000.
Meusel has been a terrible disappoint-
ment in a Giant uniform. Not only hiss
he forgotten how to bat, but he has been
even less than an ordinary worker in
the field. To make room for him, Nc
GraW had to move Burns over to center
field and the efficiency OF the whole left
side of the garden has been impaired.
Causey has been useless with a sore
arm and the fans are laughing at Nc
Graw, asserting that his ailment was
known all season. Casey Stengel IS not
in shape to play and earns his salary
from the coaching line.
In exchange for them, McGraw gave
a wealth of good young talent which
might have developed into Just the play
ers he will want next season. McGraw
needs pitchers If he wants to beat the
Pittsburgh Pirates out for the flag He
needs them right now. He has the money
to get them, but they're not on the
market and trades are over now for the
season.
