- and Edward Elliott ~ Veteran Cub Star, at That, Has Hardly More Than Broken Even—Brown and Coveleskie Once Were Nemesises o f McGraw’s Outfit. BY GEORGE CHADWICK. - W YORK. June 7.—More thar N off the top shelf in the Nati the team which possesses the only it, departed today from the Poto Gi again to dislodge them. 1 one hundred pitchers have been try- ing unsuccessfully for three vears to knock the New York Giants ional League, and the Chicago Cubs, pitcher who has come near to doing rounds, disappointed at having failed The veteran Grover Cleveland Alexander is the heaver who has come nearer to achieving the title of “Gia have striven to dese it. Yet th Giants is about fifty-fifty. He has n nt killer” than any of the many who ¢ battle between Alexander and the ot been a destructive force that could | Bar put the National League champions on their backs as “Three-fingered” Brown used to do. Nor like Harry - beat them out of a pennant in 1908, If Alexander were able to win twice As many games from New York as he lost this season, he might be the solitary individual who, in his way. would turn the current of the cham- mionship in the National League to some other direction than up New York harbor. 1t needs a pitcher of that type to do damage to the Giants, if they are to be kept from winning another pennant Others Alne ¥Fall Down. Another pitcher who has been aim- tng his missiles for thres successive vears at the Giants, and is beginning the fourth. is Doak of St. Louis. Ha has baen a hard nut for the Giants to crack when going good, but an unfortunate lack of consistency has marred any record_he might have made inst New York. Then, too, he has been with a team thal has not been a winner. and that has had its wings clipped by the Giants at eritical time; Adams and Cooper of have been in the thre of the National League to halt New York and there have al#o been Lugue and Rixey of Cineinnati. Luque has won a game now and then, but he a8 too often lost his temper. The Giants know that he s mentally tor- rid _and play upon his weak spot from the time they et on the ball field, when he is there, too Routher and Meadows have with the oppositioh against New York for three vears. but Reuther has never been impressive for vari- ous well known reasons, and Mead- ows hag been found by the Gimnts when the necessity came to batter hiz curves skyward and lineward ¥ail 1o Get Revenge. Marquard and Jesso Barnes have been let go from New York to turn eir skill against their former team- ates, but they have never turmed up onough (o keep the Giants within the helpless minority. Toney, who was let g0 by New York, sought re- venge. but the time had gone when he couid take revenge Banton, Schupp, Sallee, the famous trio thal won the pennant for New York with their left-hand twisting and turning in 1917, all were sent to other clubs, but they never had the satisfaction of bringing down the team that they anxiously wanted to see lose. One of them, Benton, is still left in Cinelnnatl, as keenly eager to defeat New York today as he was the first weck after Now York let him go. Ring has been fn the campaign, and 0. too, Morrison of Pittsburgh and Haines of St. Lould and Mitchell—all of whom lhave spite hates in one way and another. All kinds ' of pitchers have been stacked against the Giants in the last three years, but none of them has been able to stop a team which seems individually not so great that it should not be checked CapyrIght, 1921.)
