r Last fall when the Dodgers were
'fUrnttng with the well known tooth
wnd sail to steal the pennant away
from . the .Giants, including Cozy
-Dolan and Jimmy O'Connell, the
.Brooklyn team faced the Cubs.
Grantham was one of the youngest
bears' of trie Cub family then. Vance
' .pitched for the Dodgers and would
have won. his game and kept his
club In the running but for two hits
by Grantham. Both were home
iruns.
V The other day Grantham repeated
his feat by socking one out of the
:lot In-Brooklyn at the expense of
j Dany. '
j Which reminds us of the faculty
Elmer Smith, when an Indian, had
fen .ringing up home runs on Bob
i Sbawkey's offerings. We saw Smith
..Injected Into a series with the Yan
kees 'on two occasions when Shaw-
'key'had been sent In to halt the
. Indians. And both rimes Smith con
tributed home runs.

gue when Elmer finally departed.
J.-TU success of the four-times
champion Giants In the National lea
Ttte race so tar is all the more re-
. markable in view of the series of
i minor1 Injuries which have forcod
j McGraw to alter his lineup at fre
I quent intervals.
!v Frank Frtsh has been fighting
a hoodoo over since the closing days
j of the spring training season. lie
' has irtnred his ankles, throwing
- arm, and lastly his fingers. These
mishaps and a cold have forced Mc
Graw to shift his lineup.
MaGraw figured that Heinle Groh
would play third again this season
. and" Freddy Llndstrom would be on
ihand for emergency duty to close up
such, gaps In the infield as the ac
cidents to Frisch have caused. But
Heinle came a cropper at the start
of the season and the Giant boss
had to send Llndstrom to third
When Frisch was forced out of the
game, McGraw had to send George
' Kelly, veteran first baseman, to sec
i'ond, and Bill Terry to first,
i Kelly's playing at second more
than exceeded the expectations of
Olont- players and fans. Long
George proceeded to cover ground
, In a marvelous manner with those
i long legs oT his. When Terry pulled
! a charley horse that handicapped
him In moving about first base Kelly
j proceeded to let out another kink
und help Terry cover his territory.
If the Giants can ' arable along
, under these conditions and despite
1 pitching that sometimes lacks much
j of being of. pennant-winning calibre
' what chance have the other clubs of
- j checking . McOraw's pennant outfit
when they return to full strength?
Four or five managers in the
National league would like to know.
The Newark baseball team in the
International league was left home
