gram. OFT has inherited an III
club"
The soft-spoken, mild-mannered
idol of the Polo Grounds must
answer these burning questions
satisfactorily if the Giants are To
escape the degradation Of the
second division for the fourth con-
secutive campaign:
Can outfielder Hank Leiber ana
catcher Harry banning coma

Will first baseman Johnny Mize
suffer a recurrence of the shoulder
injury which benched him In the
final two weeks Of last Septem-
ber's sizzling stretch struggler
Will rookie Connie Ryan make
the grade at second base?
Even if all of these questions
are answered in the best and most
approved tradition Of the quiz
kids, the Giants still must secure
desperately needed pitching
strength TO be rated a serious
pennant factor.
