Pick GiGnfs. Whife
Sox As 1850
Pennonf Winners

As we have done several times
in the past with varying success,
the Associated Negro Press Is
again going out on the proverbial
limb in picking the San Francisco
Giants to win the National League
pennant.
We know that there are many
who win disagree with the choice,
but that Il the way we see It from
our vintage point after surveying
the field Of the eight contenders In
the race.
The reason for picking the
Giants Is simple: We feel the Bay
area stars, deep In hitting with an
awesome array of sluggers, have
added the pitching punch that viii
enable them to beat out the NIL
waukee Braves and the Los An
geles Dodgers, the current world
champions in this years nag
race.
See w. SOx Repeating
Over In the American League,
our choice to repeat is the Chi
cago White sox. Here again the
reasoning is obvious: The Sox, with
a strong pitching staff, have added
extra bat power to the tight de-
Tense and speed which enabled the
Pale Hose to beat off persistent
challenges Of the Cleveland Indians
last year.
