sociation, featuring the sparkling
shots Of Patty Berg, swung into
its semifinal round today.

in which she has played since
January l, swept aside Eleanor
Dudley, of Ridge Country Club, to

I'm afraid the Giants fight

save second money" said Stone

mo, no." hastily replied
Horace. in spite of getting hit
on the head by the Giants nose
dive, 1 still know my own name.
The thing is that we owned Pep
Young, the Pirates second base
man. for a few hours one night
in June. And Young would
have meant the difference in
the pennant race. The deal
would have made us and hurt
them, and I tell you it was all
set and sealed. Then came the
dawn-for Pittsburgh"
Tell me about it," I said.
well, you knew we were after
Young?"
King Tut knew it. Go
ahead"
Terry realized that we
weren't going to win unless we
could solve the second base prob
lem caused by the illness Of
Whitehead. He picked Young
as the man he wanted, and Bills
word is the final word on mat
ters of that sort with us. He
runs our ball team
I'VE settled on the offer to make
Pittsburgh and, after some dick
ering back and forth. they
agreed to accept it. Benswanger
agreed. Traynor agreed.
Terry was making the deal
and it was around midnight,
when the okay came through by
phone from Benswanger. They
located me at FL Morocco and
I was really happy over the news.
AS you know, one Of our joint
heroes on the old Giants was
Ross Young, one Of the great
players of all time in my book.
I was glad to get another player
Of the same name, even though
there was no relationship.
