GIANTS PROVED BIGGEST FLOP
 OF 1895 SPORTS
Editors Vote on Disap. pOintments or Season;
 Davis Cup Team End
By HENRY SUPER
nited Press Stan COrrespOndent)

tOHAtCu ETCSS OtSn SVEHcSpONuChVl
 New York, Dec. 30-(UP)-The New York Giants, who wilted in the stretch for the second successive year, were named today as the great est team disappointment of 1885,
 Of 1855 sports editors who voted in the United Press annual poll, GA of them picked the Giants aS the years "flop" team-the second straight time the New Workers have gained that dubious honor.
 Close on the heels of the Giants with 56 votes, came the perennial disappointment Americas Davis cup team, while the St. Louis Car dinals, among the surprise teams of 1884, took third place with Al votes.
 Only four other 1935 teams gained more than one vote as edi- tors spread their ballots among the three top outfits. The Chicago Cubs placed fourth with four votes, all for their failure to win the World series from the Detroit Tigers.
 Pennsylvania football team, which failed to live up to preseason ballyhoo, was next with three votes. Ohio States football team, the Cleveland Indians and North Caro- lina's gridiron machine received two votes each.
 Most votes cast for the Giants stressed that the New Workers failed in the stretch for the second time and thus deserved to be ranked as the years disappointment. In 1884, the Giants had a seven game lead on September ' and then dropped to two games behind the Cardinals in the final standings. This year their collapse was not as sudden, from an 81a game lead in June the Giaints sank into second places near the end of August and finally fin- ished 8la games behind the Cubs in third place.
 One editor summed up the com- ment very neatly when he said:
 An airtight infield, the clasSiest outfield in the business, and the greatest flve-man pitching staff in baseball history-those were terms applied to the Giants last spring and early summer as they swept to an apparently insurmountable lead. Then along came the Cardinals, then the Cubs and to the Giants relief, September 29 and the end of a dis appointing season."
 Those editors who picked the Da- wis cup team had little to say except that its failure was an annual af- fair. The cuppers, seeking to re- gain the trophy which France lifted in 1927, failed miserably in the challenge round against England, losing five straight matches after a gallant fight against Germany in the inter zone finals.
 The Cardinals were given third place for their late season collapse and failure to take the pennant ill @ showdown battle with the Cubs after they had virtually eliminated the Giants.
 Pennsylvania, Ohio State and Clevelands Indians were given their votes because, heralded as potential champions before their seasons be- gan, all failed. North Carolina was given two votes for its collapse against Duke when it practically had 8 Rose Bowl bid cinched.
