He believes in letting the Reds and Pirates do the worrying. Explainin the recent disastrous series with Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, McGraw says: “1 do not believe that those on the outside appreciate how badly things®*broke for the Giants and how nicely they drifted the w the opponents.” This is a poor ex McGraw has been in the busine: enough to know that the “'brea quently decide championships. According to Daniel in the New York ‘“Herald”, the Giants held a meeting yesterday and decided to “tear both the Cards and Cubs to pieces” in the coming series. Perhaps the Cards and Cubs will object to be- ing torn to pieces. Perhaps the “breaks” will “drift the way of the opponents.” 5 Tom Gully,-a former University of Mississippi outflelder, who was farmed out to the Lakeland club of the Flori- da state league, has been recalled by the Cleveland clib. The Giants have bought “Red"” Stoner, leading pitcher of the Appal- achian league. Nothing has been said about the price paid. } Firpo met a woman yesterday who wanted to read his palm. He replied that his fortune was in his fist, not his palm. Well, Luis Angel, that may so. But if your fist is your for- tune, that's tough.
