NEW YORK, August 18—Pitts- burgh has done something that it | has not achleved since 1918, aad if it's an omen, it's a bad one for the Giants.

In tuking account of these figures. it Is not out of place to note that the Glants finished with a percentage of 621 in 1919 and’' yt could not win championship.
