the offering was such that the

This was accomplished, promo

the Giants win win the series Of
1924.
Peclinpangh tore a ligament in

/ win long remember the won
derful work Of Frisch, the Giants
star second sacker. He made three
plays on Goslin that robbed Goose
of hits. Two of these plays abso-
lutely prevented two runs from
scoring.
His first play on GOslin, with
Rice on first and no one out was
