Wallace Wade, retired foot

pires at Alabama and Duke and
served as commissioner of the

years until retiring to his cattle
farm near here in January,

with Parker, who made the
1896 Associated Press ALL

1889, was voted into the Hall of
Fame a year ago and was in

with the Giants today.
Larsen, 80, and southpaw
Billy Pierce came to the Giants
from the Chicago White Sox
this winter in a trade for Bob
Farley, Ed Fisher and Dom

last year. His biggest years
were with the New York Yam
KEGS in the SOS.
Pitched Perfect Game
He pitched the only perfect
game in World Series history on
October 8, 1856, when he beat
the Dodgers, 20. The Yanks
traded him to Kansas City after
the 1859 season and he dipped
to a lilo record with the
Athletics in 1860.
Larsen bounced back in q
