GIANTS QUICK START
RAISES YELP IN
NATIONAL
United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, April 22-Yelps are
resounding from the way points in the
National League that the Giants are
already "in'' and that the pennant
race will be over in the middle of June.
John McGraw is stuffing the ears of
his charges to keep out the "demoral-
izing sounds as he terms them.
"It' IS long way to October and ac-
cidents have wrecked better chances
than uors," McGraw said today.
With six straight victories achieved
out of seven games with a team that
is not presenting its full strength, the
Giants do look as if they are going to
make a runaway for the pennant.
Nehf, Douglas and Jess Barnes are
doing the bulk of the work effectively.
Toney hasn't pitched yet and Young
Barnes, Ryan, Shea and Causey look
like fine reserves. Frisch will be back
soon and in Dave Robertson, the club
landed good, outfielder if SINNERS,
who is now shining in center field
should hit the bumps.
Brooklyn, which has been furnishing
most of the victories for the Giants,
has been going badly and the Giants
are hitting.
The Cubs don't belong in second
place and they won't be there long.
The Braves and the Robins are out of
position way down in the second divis-
ion and they'll be mounting soon.
The American League is all messed
up. The Athletics are in third place
and the White Sox in fourth. The
Browns and Washingtons have no bus
mess in the second division. Yanks
and Indians are playing the best ball.

PRESS PUBLICITY

Circulation to readers who want the
paper and enjoy it gives an unusual
value to advertising space. Press news
service has built q clientele of happy
readers who have ordered the paper
and pay for it month by month. This
explains the results which advertisers
are getting and about which they are
so openly enthusiastic.
The Imperial Valley Buick Sales
Company us one of the most liberal
users of Press advertising space and
they are more than pleased with re-
suits. The company is today making
delivery of four ears, including Chev-
rolet sedan, the first of its kind to be
sold in the Imperial Valley. There is
active inquiry and everything points

that until the price of sugar has re-

Of liquidation on anything approaching
