DissensiOn in Ranks Hurt
Giants Showing In Series
Sam Leslie
Has Words
With Terry
SEEMED FRIENDS
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

By DAVIS J. WALSH
International News Service Sports Editor
NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-Just as
everybody was about to give up
on the moot question as to why
the Giants didn't show more fight
against the Yankees in the just
concluded 1897 series for the
championship of the world, the
apparent answer came through to-
day. The Giants were, it seems,
too busy fighting among them
selves
Some of the young men,
notably Dick Bartell and Gus
Mancuso, didn't agree, I'm told,
with William H. (Our wild
Terry's selection of starting
lineup from day to day and said
as much. So there was alleged
to have been considerable club
house pickering from time to
time, especially over the starting
of Lou Chiozza in center field in
the second and third games
There also was the fact that
Harry banning, catcher, was
openly critical of Terry before the
series, claiming that Terry meant
to use the excuse of Danning's
injured hand to keep him out of
the games. banning was used
after MancuSo broke finger in
the second game.
FEELING OF STRAIN
Finally, there is the story that
feeling of strain existed between
Our Will and his substitute first
baseman, Sam Leslie, with the re-
suit that the latter didn't appear
in the final game on Sunday,
though three pinch hitters were
used. Of course, it was Leslie, a
left hand hitter, against Gomez,
a left hand pitcher, but at that
he figured to be better than the
right handed Blondy Ryan.
Still, Terry and Leslie seemed
friendly when they parted in the
dressing room after the final game
and I don't doubt that Our Will is
due to deny everything, in toto.
If so, he'll have to look far for
support.
AS get the story, the argument
over the line up came up before
last Fridays game when Terry
again nominated Chiozza, sort
of badminton hitter, to play cen
terrified. The spokesman for the
opposition held out for Hank
Leiber in 'centerfield and Leslie to
replace JOHNNY Mccarthy at first
base. ...
