Larry Doyle. Bill Terry, George
Kelly and a long line of others well
up on the list. 1t is different now.
No one can expect Mel OFT to
reach into the dugout and bring
forth a miracle. These are tough
rebuilding days for any owner or
manager.
You'll read where the Dodgers
need two or maybe three additions
where the Cardinals can stand
pat-where the Reds need a few
changes-Where the Pirates need
pitchers-but the Giant need takes
in the pitching staff, the infield and
the outfield.
Mel OFT is a smart, keen baseball
man who knows his trade. But he
will need at least 10 or u new, good
ballplayerS before he will be back
in old Giant territory, around the
top. And good ballplayers are not
picked up around the first corner.
1t is hard enough to get one or two
good new men, much less 10 or IL
or more.
Giants Have Gone to Rust.
Some one has let the Giant ma
chine go TO rust. 1t will take a
large bale of money 10 have it
shining again. MacPhail at Brook
lyn has proved the job could be
done. But he found no substitute
for money on his way up. For that
matter, Tom Yawkey and others
have found that even money isn't
| always quite enough, no matter how
much you spend.
I can take you back to the davs
when the Yankees were struggling
on the old hilltop and the Dodgers
were just another club in the No
/ tional League. At this time IT,
Giants were the Mount Everest {
! baseball. Under McGraw they We.2
winning 10 pennantS. The Yankee,
and Dodgers were trying to get or
OF the second division the greater
part Of the time.
Last fall the Yankees and Dodgers
met in the World Series show with
the Giants so deep in the second
division that 1t took a deep-sea
diver to locate their bodies.
This shows how drastically situa-
tions can change in this wind
swept existence. AS George M. Co.
hen, baseball's leading fan, once
wrote, TT isn't what you used to be
its what you are today"
Only Miracle Can Help
Just who 1t was that let the Gi-
ants 90 to seed-Stoneham or Terry
isn't so important now if the right
move is made to bring them back.
But the point is that the Dodgers
and the Cardinals already are
strongly fixed around the top-the
Reds have the pitching that may
again carry them close-the Pirates
and the Cubs have been building
for another upward surge.
1t is easy enough to understand
the killing job Mel OFT faces in
clearing most of these hurdles. es-
pecially if First Baseman Babe

and the Dodgers at large will go ell

ing next spring and summer. The
Cardinals will be out there swingiry
from start to finish with bette"
ball club than they had this past
season. You can gamble that the
Reds, Pirates and Cubs will be much
better.
So the matter Of getting the Gil
ants out of the second division in
1912 will be close to a miracle. 1t
will take time and money-with the
accent on the cash.
Mel OFT is almost certain to do
his share. but that will be only part
of the job ahead.
