At any rate, it may be some
thing for the Yankees to think
about. For unless the impossible
happens and the Giants do not
get into the World Series the
Yankees will have scorned wrath
heaped upon them in double por-
lions at the Stadium next week.
FORMER YANKS
To be specific, there is the at.
tenuated Cliff Melton, and also
the long legged Johnny Mccarthy.
At one time the Yankees owned
title to them both; Melton as a
spring training prospect and Nc
Carthy on the Yankee farm in
Newark.
The Yankee board of strategy
deemed neither worthy of Sta
dunn attention. Melton was
turned back to Baltimore after a
brief trial. and Mccarthy was
sold to the Giants after he had
been passed over as a possible un-
derStudy for Lou Gehrig.
SEEK REVENGE
And now, or rather next week,
they'll invade the Stadium seek
ing revenge. CIR! 1t is their
fondest ambition to show Marse
Joe Mccarthy how wrong he was,
what a mistake he made when
he turned them away from the
Stadium portals.
Nor have they only ambition
and wrath to recommend them.
For as the Giants drive down the
stretch, winning the games that
count, the discarded Yanks are
their strength and resource; Mel

McCarthy's rise has been even

it was so unexpected. Earlier IN
the year he was a keen disappoint-
ment; observers had him tabled
as the $4,000 lemon.
Everybody wond r ed where
Terry had found him, and even the
Colonel must have come to the
conclusion that he'd made a mis-
take, for in mid-July he benched
Mccarthy in favor Of the steadier

But an injury to Leslie gave
Mccarthy a new chance a month
ago, and he's grasped it to the full.
He launched his comeback" by
spraying the Polo Grounds with
home runs in late August and early

it is believed that everything will

With two losses to their credit, the Huskies are reported deter mined to take the Alaskans into camp this week. Practice for the game is serious and any weak points discovered are being iron ed out and developed into strong attributes. On their own side the Alaskans feel that losing last weeks game was just careless ness and are determined to stay up near the top of the league so that when they play the Ham, mon again, the chances will be that they can tie up the series for a playoff.

There's one thing like about indoor baseball. It brings out the sportsmanship in a player. Often times the breaks are dead against him and then he sees a decision which he believes to be wrong, which usually makes any player pretty sore. Even if he objects to the decision and is rul- ed against, he can still show good sportsmanship. Those who take such decisions ungraciously and
 bitterly, letting all and sundry hear their crying and excuses, do not live up to the best rules of the game and sportsmanship. I've heard many players and official members of the teams described
 as poor sports because they can
 not lose as gracefully as they
 win. Maybe some of this talk on
