Fall of Giants Shows
Prophets Hazards
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

opeCldl Correspondent OF Inc otaI.
NEW YORK, July Is (NANA)-
The fate of the Giants illustrates
the hazards that 60 with picking
pennant winners in the spring and
indicates why the experts have their
fingers crossed when they make their
predictions. Not that many of them
picked the Giants to win this year.
The Reds stood out too boldly in the
preseason dope for anybody to ig-
more, and. besides, there were the
Cubs, who had won last year. Still, the
Giants got call, as they say on the
race track. There were some who
liked them and undoubtedly they
were the kind of team that could
finish flrst-or sixth.
They needed a few breaks to put
them at the top and keep them
there-or thereabouts. For a time
they got them. All the things that
Bill Terry hoped for were coming
true, it seemed. The young pitchers
were taking their regular turns and
winning. Harry Danning was CATCH
ing well and hitting the same way.
Zeke Bonura was hitting as hard
as anybody could have expected and
was playing better game at first
base than even his warmest ad-
mirerS could have asked.

Gionts No More Horossed
By Injuries Than Bees

The Giants, of course, aren't the
only club in the National League to
be harried by i'll fortune this year.
Actually, they haven't been hit any
harder than the Bees. True, no.
body picked the Bees to win the
pennant, but with the Reds the only
outstanding club in the league and
the rest of them tumbling around
knocking each other over in their
attempts to get somewhere, the Bees
might have been in the race all the
way. with a good chance to finish
third or even second, if they had
not been marked early for disaster.
The wallop that f1attened them,
of course, was the injury to Tony
Cuccinello. In the veteran Cue
cinello and the youngster Eddie
Miller, the Bees had about the best
second-base combination in the
league, but that was wrecked for
weeks when Tony was hurt. Then
Jim Turner was struck in the face
with batted ball and the pitch
ing staff-important to any team
but tremendously important to a
team lacking punch-was weak
ened.
Finally, to top off their bad luck
and send them into a new skid,
Miller was hurt. Cuccinello had
returned and he and the kid had
picked up speed again and were
knocking of double plays better
than any pair in the league when
that happened.
And so, if Casey Stengel didn't
fall as far as Terry, at least he has
some idea Of how Terry feels.

Yankee Machine Cracks Up
When Ruth CoIIopses

That same year the Yankees. hav-
Ing won three pennants in row
and then missed fourth, we're beat
ing their way back when Babe Ruth
had his famous collapse and the rest
Of the team crashed about him so
badly that they wound up in seventh
place.
The Cardinals, who won in 1884
the Gas House Gang that rode so
high-the most colorful crew that
baseball has known since the Yam
KEGS of 1937-looked to be a cinch
to repeat in 1885, but Old Man Mis-
fortune rose up and sloughed them
and before they could regain their
balance the Cubs came rushing out of
nowhere to win the pennant. Again
in 1886 the Cardinals might have
won, but again injuries tore them
apart and this time it was the Giants
who came on to win.
When a jinx is riding a ball club
1t doesn't seem to matter what the
manager does-or who plays. Regu-
lars are injured and requirements
are hurled into the breach-and then
the requirements are injured.
That's the way it has been with
the Giants. No worse blow has
fallen upon them than the injury
to Lou Chiozza. The team had to
stagger before Chiozza got his
chance. When he got in the line
up, it looked as though he would
save the situation by holding the
infield together But when he went
down the team went with him. The
suspension of Jurges for 10 days
hurt badly, of course. But it was
the injury to Chiozza that put such
emphasis on the temporary loss of

A combination income tax is
the heart of the new tax program.
The estimated yearly yield of the
combined taxes is $6,775 900, con-
sisting of $5,500,000 from the sales
tax, and $1,275,000 from the personal

Mr.. Nichols declined to comment

SANG RUN

| In response to the recent request of
Mr.. John F. Friend, friends and neigh
bors gathered at his home and sang
sacred songs which Mr.. Friend en-
joyed and appreciated immensely. Mr..
| Friends age is slightly more than four
years from the century mark. AL

BILE of walking around without assist

age. Mr.. Savage, who suffered a severe

sulting in an organic condition, and
VINO has been confined to his room
practically all the time since, is now
somewhat improved.
Paul Hoye, an Industrious young
grammar school boy of this commun-
ity, whose trading traits would put to
shame those possessed by Tow Sawyer
as portrayed by Mark Twain, found
not long ago an old, worn billfold in a
bureau drawer in his home. Of course
young Paul was always rummaging
around, boy-like, for "tradin' stock !,
so simultaneously with the discovery
of the discarded billfold his nimble
brain Immediately conceived a plan
whereby he would be able to dispose
of it and acquire in it's place a much
newer, more attractive looking pOck-
l, -
ster display with pride shiny boy S
pocketboOk just few days previous?
Having formulated his procedure Of
Striking up" a trade he set off to
school the following day and success
fully negotiated the transaction with
out having to pay any boot, for so
impressed was the juvenile owner of
the new pocketbook by the appearance
of such a large man-siZe billfOld, that
despite its worn condition he readily
consented to an "even swap.
Upon Paul's return home he was
greeted by his fathers anxious ques-
ton:
"See anything of an old brown bill
fold, Paul?"
Paul, having never looked in the
billfold and not knowing it's value, an
swered honestly and enthusiastically
that he had Graded the old worn out
one for a much better and newer one.
But his father and owner of the bill
fold, Justice of the Peace Fred Hoye,
did not congratulate him on his wis
dom as a trader. Instead he escorted
Paul rather swiftly toward the home
of the lad to whom the inferior billfold
had been traded. After the boys had
reluctantly Graded back" Paul learned
why his father anxiously insisted that
the swap" be amended. The billfold,
even though we'll worn, contained $50
in crisp greenbacks, while the new one
contained-not a cent!
Among those who called on Mr.. and
Mrs. w. N. Savage last week were
Stephen Dewitt, Of Accident; George
E. Bond, of Hoyes, and Edward Goss,

COST OF LIVING NOTE: Coal
prices may be higher this win
ter if Secretary Ickes' new BIZ
luminous Coal Division can
work out all the complex details.
Here is the background:
Present transportation costs
make shipment of coal by water
cheaper than shipment by rail.
Thus, coal shipped to consumers
by water routes can sell at low
er prices.
TO raise the price of water
shipped coal to the level of that
shipped by rail, the division is
trying to work out a basing
point price fixing arrangement
that will force coal operators
to charge more for coal that
is to be shipped by water.
