pair of seasons caught up with the once proud gas house gangsters definitely for all that they were well aware of their pit pitching chin e frailties the cards all along have been vocally confident they were the class of the circuit when now and then they labored through an unfortunate series it did not seem to distress them they merely shouted that this could be charged up to what dizzy dean terms mentin and then moved on to the next address in quieter moments all of them manager and batboy badboy confided that they looked forward to the waning days of the season then when experimenting had gone quite tar far enough they expected to turn on so mux much heat that even manhattan clients would be panicked into grud grudging applause they spoke with wit hsuch such great and apparently quite honest unconcern about the future that there is little wonder even the giants believed them early in july even now as one who picked them at ait the start arid and has abode with them in happy confidence ever since I 1 cannot believe they were up to some of their old sly tricks on 9 a faithful follower now that they have undoubtedly fulfilled the letter of their prophecies by turning on the heat and ancl causing previously timid men and maids of manhattan to indulge in ecstatic patty callings I 1 cannot believe that such miracle working mortals were werd guilty of double talk ling ing all the while so far as I 1 am concerned they aliey could scarcely have known that their boisterous antics would so sorely enrage the boston and pittsburgh peasants that the tha heat would come from such directions neither could they have had any inkling that the manhattan merriment could be partly occasioned by the support they recently have been giving to one of the most amazing teams of recent seasons instead it seems that frankie frisch and his followers underrated under rated their adversaries in W 9 spite of the fact that y several st louis pennants have been tysa won by mad drives estes down the home stretch they seemed to feel that they never could be so sadly overtaken as were the giants and cubs of other too recent seasons 0 they were e caught 0 frank frisch improperly arrayed for meeting visitors who sneaked upon them just as upon the giants of a season back there are several reasons reason why the cards still may be fortunate in the pennant chase one of them is that the giants started their spurt early and from very far back and so may be halted by the law of averages another is that there are men especially pitchers who can quickly be brought in brorn irom the farms it breadon and rickey decide to risk a minor league pennant for the sake of a big time success the third and probably best reason is that the cards are a set of husky hard bitten athletes only the yankees formed out of a very dailar mold have previously seemed able to recover as quickly from adversity that ability to rise above defeat is most important in a flag chase in fact no team without this quality ever won a pennant success in baseball often is almost entirely a matter of spirit when the braves came from the bottom to accomplish their 1914 miracle they scarcely believed what was happening until almost at the finish then when the going might have been tough they were sustained by the conviction that no matter how good opponents might seem to be their own luck was considerably better so they felt they had nothing to worry about and devoted their best efforts to playing baseball somewhat the same thing ha happened P to the cubs last fall and to the cards in 1931 although in both cases the short space of re time and utter collapse of a rival had bad much to do with the result indeed several cub stars quite frankly admitted that all alon along 9 they felt it merely was a beautiful dream and only woke up when they found the tigers whaling the merry blue blazes out of them in the horld world series NOT IN THE BOX SCORE MRS JOHNNY COONEY sings in the same high class
