In Close to Record Time —— New Yorks Return to Polo Grounds and Play Like Coming Champions. Bj Bozeman Bulger. AE home coming of the Giants Was celebrated in @ manner most businesslike. George Burns, the first batter up, whanged at the second ball and sent it whistling into deep right centre for a home run. Phat being as many runs as Brookiyn made ali afternoon, our potential champions then gave their visitors a thorough drubbing and dismissed the congregation in just one hour and twenty-eight minutes, There was something so competent in this display and in the general dowsing of these Giants, clad in snow- , freshly washed uniforms, that it is difficult to see why they should not really be champions. The town is rather crazy about these fellows, as they have been about the Yanks for & moma. Already, in fact, there is beginning (© sprout amung the fans a rather daring hope that both the Giants and Yanks ¢an win the pennants and that we can turn the World's Series into an old home week.’ They don't come right out and voice this ambitious Project yet, but it is not unusual to sew them with pencil and paper be ginning to figure. In yesterday's game the Giants wowed plainly a superiority over the Dodgers, bat Uncle Wilbert Robinson says that is because the New Yorkers were hitting while his forces were not, “Don’t forget in your euthusi- asm,” he cautioned, “that we are just aiter trimming thom two oyt of three across the bridge. “And,” added the Brooklyn man ger, “we can have that old tome week without thy Giants winning You know it is pot wuch of a daily | trip across the -bridge in case Brook- lyn should win. tgure something out of that” Just the same, Robby is of the opin ium that the Giants huve a powerful ball club and that right now they have the best chance in the league “There is so much hitting strength there,” he says, “that the Giants can win a big percentage of games even if their pitchers do not hold up all season.” A month ago it was believed that) Brooklyn figured a8 a strong con- tender on pitching alone, They were generally credited with having the best staff of twirlers in the league. “But when Rube Marquard busted his leg,” Robby points out, “the whole. shebang’ seemed to ‘go to pieces. Grimes had to have his ton- éflg removed and has not pitched a fame in three weeks. ‘Things got wrong with the arms of others end we started to slump. There ts base- hall for you. Nobody can ever well Now see if you can't what's going to happen. Instead of having a strong pitch staf, we had almost nothing in two weeks’ time, I Picking up now, and w are coming back strong, but a gam Jost in May counts just as much as one lost on the last day of the season. Before coming over here to-day we won eight out of the last ten games, and did it against the strong clubs.” Having got the jump on Brooklyn with a home run in the first inning, an attack was launched against Pfeffer in the second inning, and be- fore it had spent its force, Chase, McCarthy and Young had frailed in three runs, which was ample. The Dodgers were unable to hit Toney successively except in one in- ning—the third. They collected two singles, an errot and a two-bagger in that frame and landed their only tally of the game, Again confirming his claim on youth, Larry Doyle nicked Pfeffer for @ three base hit on each of his first two trips to the bat. It was his sprinting, as much as his wallop- ping that did the trick. There will be two more games with the Kobins, when the Giants will again pack wp and depart. They go to Philadelphia this time, while the Yanks are here with Washington celebrating the Fourth of July. That finished, the Giants come home for a stay lasting most of the anonth.

HP following authentic informa- tion has been received trom Swat Milligan, one time Peer- less Hitter of the Polson Oaks, in re- gard to the usé of a high explosive or TNT ball to win a game in the Willow Swamp League. This is in response to a letter written in the interest of scientific and historical re- search, The despatch comes from Slugtown, Mo, “The basic Mea of the explosive bali is not entirely new, As a mat- ter of fact it was tried on me away ZEKE HMOPRLED THAT DEADLY BALL! back In the old days, the explosive being in the form of dynamite, It required the wit and bravery of my son Swat Jr., though, to foil this new plot of the villainous Phosgenes, who are moving heaven and earth to oust the Polson Oaks from the lead. “My son Swat Jr. as you perhaps know, has fust returned from France and is @ better hitter than I ever was In my palmy days, Like myself he never bats until the bases are full and plays under the additional handi- cap of being allowed but one strike, while the other players take three.

NE of the great unnoticed losses of human energy comes from pounding hard heels on still harde: pavements. When your nail-studded leather heel strikes a hard, unyielding surface, the shock is transmitted through your whole body. It is this unceasing pound, pound, pound, this constant jolting and jar- ring, that contributes so largely to the feeling of over-fatigue. You need not suffer this extra loss of energy. You can do much to re- move this source of fatigue. O’Sulli- van’s Heels absorb the shocks that tire you out. They relieve the jolts and jars that make a burden of walking.

The surplus may be carried over for use in succeeding contests. “Having tried everything else in their nefarious schemes to put my boy out of business, the conniving Phosgenes planned to blow his jewel- led bat to pleces with a high explo- sive ball and put him out of busi- ness for good. Not only that but they planned to execute’ the coup on their home grounds at Clogtown before the biggest crowd of the season, the league leadership banging in the balance. “Very likely you understand the tremendous explosive power of TNT. I forget the Latin word, but my son Swat, a bit of a wag, says the initials stand for ‘Travel, Nigger, Travel!’ One of his secret agents tipped the boy off to the scheme as we were rolling into Clogtown the night before the great game. It seems that Zeke Bender, the schem- ing pitcher of the Phosgenes, had planned to slip in a ball on Swat Jr, loaded with high explosives, so that when his bat struck it the charge would go off, blow his jewelled bat to pieces and, perhaps, injure the boy so that he would never be ablo to Swing another blow for the cause of the Poison Oaks. The TNT ball was equipped with both contact and |time fuse. In the event that Swat Jr. missed It, the catcher would havo ample time to get rid of it bef explosion. You can see to depths of cunning they have soended. “But the Polson Oaks sald naught and went about their business as calmly as if nothing had occurred to mar their serenity of success, For the first time, though, I have seen a Milligan actually obsessed with ideas of revenge. Swat Jr.'s was a terrible one, especially to those Phosgenes, who ote so heavily or “Early in the morning of the the Phosgene scouts might have seen Swat Jr. walking along the bank of the creek buck of the centrefield fence, making a kind of survey, but they were not up and about at thot time, not having been ell, the game finully # hat de- don Champion Jack Britton Ted Lewis, the English welterwe box again for the welt While the bout, if arran be an eight-round affair, the chan in order to put the which would regain him his men up for a fight at the Armory A.
