Leads One to Think
The Lad Was a
False Alarm

Rather strange was the case
of Earl Webb, released a day
or two ago by the Giants to
Louisville in part payment for
Ty Tyson, who is to report in
the spring. Webb, who once
served as a pitcher with the
Giants but who had become
hard-hitting outfielder in the
interim, was obtained last sum-
mer from Toledo in exchange
for Hack Wilson. The Giants
were webbing badly at the time
and Webb, il was thought, would
be rushed into action, particn-
larry since regular player had
been handed over-for him. In
stead Earl warmed the bench
for the remainder of the season,
breaking into only a half dozen
games. His release to Louisville
at this time makes one wonder
what all the excitment was
about last summer.
