Yanks NolU Rated Sure Thing For World Series
|O'DOUL TO MANAGE GIANTS

t sons and are doing the same thing this trip. Last season one th1rc of the Giants total home attend a1ce was attracted by the q games in which the Dodgers ap' peared. This year, for example the Giants and Dodgers played tC 83,240 persons in two days ct tho POi6 Grounds, the Memorial Day dcuble-header playing to S0,AS7. All reserved seats were sold weeks tr advance.
 FAIN AND FERNANDEZ
 MAY ACCOMPANY O'DOUL -.
 Terry hasn't developed q ball player to speak of in nine years.
 The club is loaded up with old men and catsoffs - and so is the principal farm in Jersey City.
 In eyeing ODot:l, Stoneha1n also has his bulbs on Ferris F1ain, 2O- year-old left-hand throwing and hitting first baseman now batting .346 for the Seals. Five big league clubs offer a big price for this kid whom ODoul already compares with George Slsler. Charley Qra- ham, head of the San Francisco Club, has g 9100,000 tag on him.
 Another Opoul product in San Francisco who is ready for the big show Is Froilan Fernandez, q hard hitting shortstop.
 Fatn and Ternandez may accom- pany their boss to New York.
 Horace Stoneham opened negos tiations with OsDoul as far back as the minor league meeting in Atlanta last December.
 ODoul Is now doing considerable unofficial scouting for the Giants vt han eye toward building the Polo Grounders of the future. BIG LEAGUERS TURN
 TO O'DOUL FOR HELP
 Though financial conditions compel the San Francisco Club to operate on sfoestring, O'Doal has done very well.
 His teams play daring baseball. Ball players swear by him and his clubs hustle. He is firm but patient and a fine instructor. He polished Joe DiMaggio and developed Don- mic. He urged the Giants to buy the current Red Sox star.
 Major leaguers turn to O'Doul for instructions and advice. Babe Dahlgren, while a Yankee. spent an entire off-season, having Oboul adjust his swing. Brighter pros- poets on clubs other than his own get ODoul's opinion. .I My batting swing Is my own," says Ted Williams, the Red Eox Slugger who played with San Diego In the Coast League. T asked Frank 0Doul if 1t was all right. He said not to let anyone change 1t. Il won't"
 oDoul's left eye was impaired and he was badly scared when | struck by broken glass this spring, but his sight on that side Is grad | tally improving and will be as | good as ever.
 Any baseball man will tell you that Frank ODoul couldn't miss with representative major league club.
 With the return of Lefty oDoul, Magnate Stoneham vii lsee 6 lot of the old Giant fans back in the Polo Grounds.
 That Is why Horace etoneham is the change.

STONEHAM IS TIRED OF RUNNING THIRD

But what is equally important to Horace Stoneham at the moment is the fact that O'Doul is a personality.
 President Stoneham is tired of running third in New York, both in attendance and popularity.
 The spectacular Larry Mac- Phail in Brooklyn has taken the play away from the Giants, and the Yankees record -wrecking comeback makes things worse.
 Owner Stoneham selected ODoul as the man to restore the prestige, glamor and box office magnetism the Polo Grounders enjoyed during the illustriouS days of John J. McGraw.
 While baseball men respect Terry as a sound baseball man, he has never gone out of the way to win the. good will Of the cus- toners.
 Baseball to Terry is frankly 6 cold-blooded business proposition, and the fanrS insist upon consider ing 1t sport.
 Years ago every youngsters am- bition was to grow up and play baseball for John McGraw and the Giants.
 The men of McGraw were idols, not only of New York, but of the nation.

Lefty Picked To Restore N. Y. Clubs Popularity
BY HARRY GRAYs0N NEA Service Sports Editor

New York, July 25. = Horace O, Stoneham definitely has decided to make Frank Joseph O.Doul man. ager of the Giants.
 Though William Harold Terry's nve.year contract at $42,O0O has another year to go, Lefty O'Doul probably will succeed him this winter.
 That would give Bill Terry an opportunity to fulfill his long- cherished ambition for a front of- flee job while finishing out his agreement.
 It would give him time to devote to 8 limpy farm system.
 Horce Stoneham picked O,Doul for number of reasons.
 The Man in the Green Suit closed hismajor league career with the New Yorks helped bat them to the world championship in 1888. He IS returning home.
 As Q two-time National League batting champion and holder of several hitting records, O'Doul is a famous baseball name.
 Winning @ Pacific Coast League pennant for San Francisco in his first year = 1885, O'Doul quickly established a reputation as Q skil- full handler of men, a baseball strategist and 8 developer of players.

In response to a question from Mr..

Salem, Ohio.-We wish to state that
two of our old-timers have been
placed on the retirement list of the
Social Security and were honored by
their Salem China friends, their en-
ployers, Mr.. Mckee and Mr.. Pugh
Brothers Bert Hixenbaugh and Will

they are waiting for their pension we
hope they can find something around
the home to occupy them and keep
their muscles in shape so they can
carry these travelling bags on their
trip. We wish to congratulate them for
their years of service and for giving
up their jobs to younger men. These
brothers enjoyed the banquet and fav-
ors placed upon them and are very
grateful to the firm and local men,

against labor" Mr.. Green said.
'"The time has come when, instead
of dividing public support of the ma
tional defense program by destructive
legislation of this kind, all groups
should unite for the achievement of
the common goal-which is to make
America invulnerable to attack.
"The trouble is that some people
are trying to take advantage of the
national defense program to destroy
labor's gains. Instead of recognizing
and appreciating the tremendous aid
given by organized labor to national
defense, these enemies of the workers
seize upon every pretext to villify and
condemn the trade union movement

now given them a singing and con.

MaY Bill Showed Under In House;
Vote Dooms All Anti-Lubor Moves

Washington, D. C.-Labor's enemies
sustained their most shattering defeat
Of the year when the House of Repre-
sentatives killed by overwhelming
majorities every vicious section of the
May Bill aimed at the democratic
rights of American workers.
This resounding victory for labor
wiped out all fears of further frontal
attacks by the small but vociferous
reactionary group Of congressman
who, with the aid of anti-labor news
papers, have attempted time and
again during this session of Congress
to impose totalitarian conditions on
trade unions. Each attack Of this
kind has been successfully repul.ed.
President William Green of the
American Federation Of Labor who
urged each member of Congress to
vote against the May Bill, interpreted
it's defeat as the death-knell to all
pending and any future anti-labor
proposals.

doubt as to what fate lies in store fol

a fair crowd present. The weather
seemed to have everyone that partic-

lately, though, the members will not
be able to use "old man weather" as
an excuse this meeting night.
The delegates to the convention

a standing vote of thanks.
Plans were made for the annual
Cronin China Company picnic to be
held July 80 at Lake Placentia. 1t is
expected to be bigger and better than

been arranged with the clay shop and
shipping department holding the

These two teams played last Sunday
with Canton coming out on top, 3-2.
So, from all reports, it will be dandy
game. There will be free dancing
and bathing all day long. If you are
not a ball fan you may trip the light
