Against the eastern teams of mhithc National League circuit the winning percentage of the Giants has bcep -800, which shows what a mockery the contest has been. Brooklvs, Boston and Philadelphia have been weaklings of not much more than minor league strength. 3 Until the passing of the game that marked the midseason, the win {ning percentage of the Giants against the west has been .529. The stumbling block always in the way of greater accumulation of success as been Cincinnati, which has held the balance of percentage power in lits grip and has used it against New York.
