Last year and the year before that
the Giants came within arms reach
of the pennant. Each time they were
caught in a September landslide and
went rolling back to the bottom Of
the hill.
They will threaten again this
season, and there always is
chance that the momentum Of
the third drive will carry them
over the top.
William Terry's tactics were blamed
for the failure of the club in 1884
and 1885. William was accused of
burning the teams heart out with
his intensive Spring training pro-
gram. The Giants would lead the
league in canter until late August,
and then fold up like an Arabs tent,
only not so silently. This was sup
posed to be the fault Of their heavy
March maneuvers.

your mind on him, want the lowdown

"Oke," responded DOME, who
thought enough of Bucky to room
with Harris back in 1923, when Bush
was manager Of the Washington club
and Bucky was a kid infielder who
never suspected that he would be
handed Donie's job the next year.
