Evening star., 1933-10-03

In both strongholds with the exception
Of Bill Terry, who has a slight cold in
his eyes, caused by peering long and
hard at the Senators in the drafts OF
the Yankee Stadium. Terry insisted
that his hitting skill was not affected,
but the ailment caused sneaking fears
in the camp of the National League.
All season long. as the Giants, un-
honOred and unsung, swung to the top
of the league and then stayed there
while the experts chuckled and thought
they were seeing things, Terry has
been the punch Of the offense, just as
Hubbell. Sinker Ball Hal Schumacher,
Freddy Fitzsimmons with his knuckler
terrific speed. were the pitching back
bone of the defense. Any diminution
of Terry's power is almost certain to
bog down the Giant of1ense.
No such fear is felt for the Senators,
we'll balanced, evenly-powered array
that overhauled the Yankees after a
sprint getaway and steamed down the
stretch. crushing everything in the way.
They reeked with health. from the
slugging Outfielders, Leon Goose Cos
lin, Heinie Manush and Fred Schultz,
down through Joe Kuhel, first base
better, and Cronin himself key man of
the defense at shortstop and powerful
hitter.
There wasn't any excuse or a COM
plalnt in that entire American League
camp. They merely itched for shot
at Hubbell.
as the Giants stresmed out from the
club house in deep center field at IL AS
Eastern standard time).
Johnny Salveson, young right-handed
pitcher who has been with the Giants
most of the season. took the mound to
give his mates some hitting practice,
and the New York regulars teed of
against his soft pitching through the
heart Of the plate
Homer Peel, reserve outfielder who
won the race to the plate. hit the first
practice home run Of the series. belt
deep into the upper left field stands,
that brought a tremendous howl, but
that cheer was a mere whisper COM
pared to the ovation that greeted Mel
OFT, right fielder. when he failed three
straight pitches high up into the left
field stands.
His third shot against a nice fast
ball on the outside. looked for mo-
ment as though it was going clear out
Of the park, something never before ac-
complished. but it settled into the seats
after long ride.
The appearance of Bill Terry brought
another outburst and sent the Giants
bell ringer, a strange base ball charac-
ter unique with the club, into riotous
action
The bell ringer. a wierd looking citi-
zen with no apparent means of support
but an amazing ability to appear on all
occasions where the Giants are pres
ent. carries with him a huge cowbell
which sounds all over the premises.
Continue Home Runs"
If the records are to believed, the
Giants are light hitting aggregation
but they showed no signs of it as Sal
veSon gave way to Bill Shores. another
right handler. Once more OFT assaulted
the left field seats. while Travis Jack
son. the third basemen with the rickety
knees. hammered dozen clouts into
the right field stands.
Bill Terry placed on exhibition for
the newspaper men the left eye that
has been bloodshot from a cold for sew
eral days. and reported it much i'm
proved. His condition has worried the
Giants supporters some, fearing loss Of
his hitting effectiveness would spike
the New Workers. big batting punch.
The eye appeared normal today.
