Terry also is the fellow who asked: Is Brooklyn still in the Boise In Opener rs PIONEER LEAGUE league? In The Teeth The glum leader of the Giants has often wished, in the last six years, he could have withdrawn his Brooklyn crack, and before the 1940 season ends he may rue the day he voiced the opinion that the Giants pitching staff was geared just right for the heavy double-headschedule. Yesterday Terry sat .in the dark corner of the Giants dugout and saw his prediction play him false. The Reds slapped the Giants down 4 twice before 52,657 fans, and and climbed back into the National league lead over the beaten Dodgers. It was Cincinnatis superior pitching which gave them the twin triumph.
