They have grown used to seeing him cock his bat and let fly for a homer in the 11 years he has been with the Giants. In spite of his flair for hitting 4-baggers Ott never has been a flashy player, nor one to capture the fans' imagination. They appreciate that he is a fine ball player, out there doing a fine job day in and day out, and they are very fond of him. But somehow they just let it go at that—seldom do they rave about him. The recent “at home” spurt the Giants flashed found the spotlight focussed on Ott. It was his big bat that sent his mates over the plate with the runs that spelled victory and put the Giants back in the thick of the pennant fight. The Giants scored 17 victories out of 21 during the home stay, thanks, in great measure, to the wholesale production of home runs. That short right field must have some- thing to do with the Giants’ suc- cess, for Bill Terry's crew won 40 out of 56 played at home. Weighs Only 170 Pounds Ott’s record as a long-distance hitter is all the more interesting when one notes that while he is well built, he does not shape up anything like Lou Gebrig, Jimmy Foxx and other home-run hitters. Mel scales around 170 pounds! against the 200-pounder that furn- ishes the popular conception of what a home-run hitter should look like. Yet there isn't a man in the league who can boast a record the equal of Ott’s. In 10 years at “LONG COUNT" jaround 140. {too, was in 1929, when he hit 42 circuit clouts.

The principal peaker of the evening was League President William A. Holzheimer, who told of his recent trip through the baseball centers of the East and commented on the fact that though he had seen no better games there than the last four local games be- tween the Moose and Douglas, there he had had to pay $1.50 for seats, while here, the spectators were re- luctant to pay a dime. Prospects for next year's baseball season were discussed, as was a proposed trip to Ketchikan the first week of next month. Other speakers were Capt. Davis, Delegate Dimond, Art McKinnon, Manager of the Moose team, the ball players also making short talks.
