Neither McLarnin nor Fidel has

Georgie Lee. _.\lthough he won the
distance was too short for him to
show much. it being known that
Pancho the Puncher is heat over a

may have had a. great “deal to do
with his being booked to meet Mc-

Young Element on Team Will Probably Do
Much Better in Warm July Weather—But
Giants Are Strong, T00, and Battle for Flag
Should Be Merry One
By JOHN B. FOSTER.
(Copyrilht. 1925.)
NEW YORK. June ail—As the
race in the National League is he-
glnning to head up into the not
wind of July. the Pittsburghs have
slightly the better of it from the
strategicai standpoint.
The Pirates have played fewer
games than the Giants. Sometimes
that is not an advantage to a'eluh
but in this case it appears that
Pittsburgh has profited sbecauso it is
a. team of young players who are
likely to get better as the season ad-
vances . By the end of July the
sprightly element. on the club which
hsi‘as many ten second men. or
near it. as any team in baseball.
slionid be well disciplined as n, hixh
class football eleven should be mak-
ing every attempted play count.
As long as the Pltisburghs can
keep lurking behind the Giants only
a game or two away from them.
they will have an excellent chance
to win this year‘s pennant because
they will be in a position to deliver
the knockout. punch when they play
New York themselves.
It is too early yet to say that the
Giants are slipping and the Pirates.
or any other team. are coming. They
are a well organised team such as
the Pittsburghs are becoming. They
always know what they are in there
to aceomplish. They never fool
around with no object in slrht. Even
when they are four or five runs be-
hind there ls method in their mad-
ness because they are working up to
another break in the game by which
they hope to accumulate a. block of
runs. _
Despite the fact that the Giants
had hard sledding in the recent
western trip. it will be noted in s.
review (if their games this season.
and those of many other seasons
prior to this one. that they can
strike home in one inning with all
the punch needed to win that par-
ticular ball game.
Much of the success of the Giants
this season as well as last has been
due to omi- ability to whale :11.

Giants and at the rate they are go-

to put Brooklyn out of the pennant
race if it won the series from all the
other teams.
It was the same my last year. If
