Stoneham has steadfastly denied he will part with his interests but stranger things have happened then a change in control of one of the game's biggest organizations. Who thought McGraw would drop out so completely and so suddenly? The Giants have had a very bad time of it from the outset of the 1932 campaign. The team, a hot fa vorite in the pennant race, has yet to measure anywhere near up to ex pectations. Attendance has fallen off alarmingly, aided and abetted by some of the worst kind of weather "breaks." Since he turned over the manage ment to Bill Terry, MicGraw has stayed strictly away from the Giants. Terry, it Is understood, has not sought the old master's advice and it has not been volunteered. Mac's public appearances have been confined mostly to his visits to the race tracks and he has avoided baseball discussions for publication, Meanwhile thc Giants have been no less erratic than they were earlier In the spring. If and when a shakeup comes, it probably will affect the whole Giant organization. many up- big league ON A VOLCANO There likely will be heavals before another season is launched.

The talk persists that Babe Ruth may bo moved to bis old stamping grounds "for the good of the cause" in 1933.'
