"Aipong a flock of other boys
from the Old South who have made
good, mention should be made of
William Harold Terry, first-baseman,
e.vtraordlnnrv. native of At-
llanta, Georgia, and resident of
.Memphis, Tennessee.
Sometimes one hears it said that
John . M cG r a w, tho )a vl d J J nru m
of major league baseball dealing,
outsmarts himself. The boys point
to ex-Giants who have made good.
But grey-haired John made no
. If there. Is a better first base
man now in either league now than
Hill Terry, It Is difficult to locate
him. Only Jimmy Koxx of the
world's Champion A's seems a
rival and Jimmy, though a lusty
sticker, t does not compare with
Terry defensively.
Terry is 32 now, no Ion ger n
kid, bu,t he has improved at a
rapid pace. He hit .320 in 3027
last year and has been traveling at
a .4 hu clip most of this season.
For a slant on ithe kind of a
fellow Terry is, read this oxtra-
I ordinary dispatch from the ball
!park wire:
'At Terry's own request the
j error charged to Ltlndstrnm in the
first half of the first inning was
transferred ti JUII's own account.
Terry came to the press box and
jsaid it was unfair to give Lind
strom the error. "Freddie's throw
j on Flagstead's grounder was good
but 1 juggled it and deserved tho
! error,' said Terry."
There should be a special niche
tin the record books for this, some
thing like this: "Most limes player
j claimed error charged to team-
matt- 1, liill Terry, Giants, June
