Giants' Champ Breaker of Shur-Our
Resolutions Wants to Win 20 Games
By SID FEDER
LAKEWOOD, N. J., March 31
(fP) Tho only difference be
tween a New Year s resolution
and Van Linglc Mungo up to
now has boon that you had to
break one and the other fizzed
out all by himself.
Year after year, when spring
Is in tho air and any strong-
backed young fellow's fancy
turns to thoughts of a series cut
next fall. Van Lingle-Dinglo has
come out as regularly as the
cuckoo in the clock and Said that
his arm was better than ever and
that he'd probably win 20. But
come fall, and Van would head
back to the black hills of Caro
lina without his 20 and with the
old "wait'U next year" war cry.
It s the same old patter this
spring as the bad boy from Page
land heads the New York Giant
pitchers in training in the Jersey
pine woods. Though everyone
around this camp has heard
Van's April New Year's resolu
tion time after time, they're in
clined to believe maybe the big
guy really has something this
year.
He's the hardest working man
in the outfit; he says he's throw
ing more freely than at any time
in the past five year, and he'S tho
only elbower who already has
turned loose his entire assort
ment of stuff. Above all, he's
behaving himself like little Jun
ior waiting for Santa Claus.
Anyway, leading the drum
beating brigade for Mungo is
