| coaching assistants, spotted Ryan and
nailed him for the Giants. Ryan join

| tered the war as a sailor a little later
and on his return to the game was
| farmed out to Buffalo and then Tor
onto. He won nineteen and lost nine
| games for the Canadian city last sea-
| son before called back to the Giants
/ He allowed an average of 2.73 earned
runs a game. The TORONTO club fin
| ished in second place.

the Giant hurting staff but was hand
icapped somewhat by lame arm.
