THERE was time, not SO many
L dynasties ago, when the New
York Giants were the most valu-
able franchise in baseball-worth
more than almost any stock on the
big exchange Now the same Giants
are in a spot where it may well take
a million dollars to bring them a
first-division ball club, where the
success of the Brooklyn Dodgers
kept them floating neck deep in the
surf.
1t is far and eerie cry from
McGraw's Giants of 1905 to Mel
OTIS Giants of 1912 and the home
run hitter from Gretna, La, has a
long and rough pull upward to get
them on the old camping grounds.
That 1905 delegation was the first
batch of McGraw Giants l ever saw
in action, and it still remains in
memory among the best in the
game. At any rate, you'll find no

intimidated, by any terrors, from
publishing, with the utmost free
dom, whatever can be warranted
by the laws of your country; nor
suffer yourselves to be wheedled out
of your liberty by any pretenses of
politeness, delicacy or decency."

I think of him ordering anybody to

I wish you could realize what
change has come over the boys here.
They now want to fight anywhere
and most anybody will do. But they
put Japs at the top of their list.
The more news we get about the
treacherouS stuff at Pearl Harbor

when he read about the Japs using

probably no sub at all but just one
of them barrels they juggle in the
circus. And he says even two Japs
in a sub would only be about half a

They serprised us all right but
they got serprise coming and how.

stronger battery work today than
Mathewson and McGinnity pitching
to Bresnahan.
There was plenty Of Irish on that
Giant squad-Mc Ginnity, Bresnahan,
Mccain, Devlin and Mike Donlin,
to mention only few. 1t was the be-
ginning of new Giant history that
was packed with merry sagas up
until the last three years when Bill
Terry's material dropped to the sec
ond-divisiOn class and flOundered out
of polite baseball society.
The Giants, in their day and time,
have had such pitchers as Mathew
son, McGinnity, Wiltse, Ames, Mar
guard, Tesreau, Nehf, Schupp-and
the great Hubbell They have had
such ball players as Devlin, Bres-
nahan, Donlin, Beauty Bancroft,
Heinie Groh, Pep Young, Buck Her
zog, Larry Doyle, Bill Terry, George
Kelly, and long line of others well
up on the list. 1t is different now.
OTIS Job
No one can expect Mel OFT to
reach into the dugout and bring forth
a miracle. These are tough rebuild
ing days for any owner or man
ager.
You'll read where the Dodgers need
maybe two or 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 out
field.
Mel OFT is a smart, keen baseball
man who knows his trade But he
will need at least 10 or IL new, good
ball players before he will be back
in old Giant territory, around the
top. And good ball players 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.
Someone has let the Giant ma
chine go to rust. 1t will take large
bale of money to have it shining
again. MacPhail at Brooklyn 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.
The Changing Years
I can take you back to the days
when the Yankees were struggling
on the old hilltop and the Dodgers
were just another club in the Ma
tional league At this time the
Giants were the Mt. Everest of
baseball. Under McGraw they were
winning 10 pennants. The Yankees
and Dodgers were trying to get out
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 it took deep-sea diver
to locate their bodies.
Just who it was that let the Giants
go 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 are already
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, especially if first
baseman Babe Young goes into the
arnnv

that trapped it.
The word was Broadway slang

Considerable speculation as to the

abroad has been heard in and
around this city, for the trip was
suddenly arranged and just as
quietly effected.
The general had been making in
spection tours through the United
States and as member of the in

vestigating reports of troubles in
various camps through the south
especially.
Just before it was publicly an

Commissioner
By MABRAY KOUNTZE

political-puEched ears.
This is TO announced ny can
didacy for the office of commits
sioner of baseball We must de-
throne Lands. Vote often
As your next commissioner OF
baseball.I will make some promises
Why not, they don't cost anything
They don't mean anything, either
First, If 7 am elected, I promise
to make the major league color
bar unconstitutional and punish
able by a fine of 100 sacks of
sugar, $50 sacks of coffee, 20 years
in Jail and army K. P. for life.
This is very lenient. considering
what l could exact in gas and rub
Der
Secondly, upon assuming my
seat( if l can find one in Wash
ington), I Will have the supreme
court determine whether anyone
in the major leagues is any more
American-or even as much Amer
lean as Joe Louis, Jesse Owens,
Satch Paige, Paul Robson and
numerous other citizens Of color.
This will be the biggest decision
since bred Scott.
NO 'FOREIGN LEAGUES"
When I am elected, / promise
not to make the Italian-Ameri-
cans form their own professional
leagues with the DiMaggio BROTH
ers, Iom Lembafdi, Camilli, Riz-
zuto, and other loyal Latins forced
to beg their way to major league
fame and glory. Chats what
we're doing)
+ promise not to crowd into
separate leagues and teams such
current major league players as
Weitelmann, Kluttz, Wagner, Kur-
owski, Wilkie, Gornicki, Novikoff,
Helm, and Lodigiani. (This is our
status.
Thus unlike my opponent, Mr..
Lands, I will not stand upon a
racial pedestal and command one
American minority group to stand
apart and form its own special
rationed quota of democracy-such
as he now demands of us. Q1e's
said it over and over AGAIN..
II am commissioner, will not
tell the irish, the British. the
Scotch and Norweigans to walt
until 1943 for full liberties in the
field Of sport. In short, ladies and
gentlemen, I promise a new deal.
IF YOU will gaze back over my
political platform, you will see just
how much Commissioner Lands has
NOT done for Americans OF color.
He has done great things, but
neither for our group, nor BASEBALL
democracy.

fully realizes that Judge Lands
is appointed by major league votes
only. The candidacy Of the writer
