Show TIMELY HITTING AND SPLENDID WORK OF PITCHERS HAVE KEPT GIANTS IN FRONT yA -"'ji J ' ( "A si W i.. . Afe' . V; - - l l ! !! I ?', V V V A)(AA-gPv I Ar? I .' Some Leading Factors in Keeping Giants on Top. The hard and timely hitting of the Giants and the work of two pitchers, Barnes and Benton, have been the lending factors in keeping the Giants In the front row of the pennant race thus far this season. The terrific batting of Young, Knuff and Burns especially has been a big aid to the team in the flag fight. Young and Kauff are among the first five batsmen bats-men of the league and Burns Is close behind them. Doyle has also been playing a strong game, both at the bat and in the field. The problem which Manager McGraw has on his hands is that if these heavy hitters should fall off to any great extent the extra burden which would be thrown on the pitching start' would be so great that it Is doubtful If the flingers would stand the pressure. 1 |
