SPORTSCRIBBLES By ARCHIE PARSONS FOR TEN YEARS I have awaited this opportunity. Yes, being, of all things, a New York Giant fan, I have had to wait ten years, since the-Giants last won a pennant way back in dim, dark New Deal Age, to open my mouth concerning baseball in any way, shape, or form. For the first seven of those years, I lived within rock-throwing distance of a building called the Yankee Stadium-and you can take me literally on that rock-throwing. I slunk around corners and hid in alleys to dodge the jibes of that cruel breed of Man known as the Yankee Fan. FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS I have lived within the lair of the Detroit Tiger, and I can say one thing for the Tiger fan-he never said a word to me-but perhaps that's because they never heard of the National League out here. I have even had to suffer under a managing editor, who is, God help him, an Athletic fan. Even he would not speak to me, and I had to fight tooth and nail for the few pennies they throw my way on payday here. Today, at. long last, I can begin to sound off just a little. Mind you now, I'm not going overboard on this thing. It's just like a person who has been dying of thirst-you just can't jump back into things. BUT. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, the Giants were picked to vaccilate between seventh and eighth place this year, and there was some talk of moving one of the International League teams in to take their place. However, if you will wander over to another section of this page you may find something startling. For there, in the Major League Standings, sit the Giants, one-half game out of first place- and on July 2. And if you wander further you will find a little story about a bunch of guys from the wrong side of the Brooklyn Bridge, who took a 19-2 shellacking from the same Giants yesterday. And that is not all. After watching such ballplayers (?) as Dan- ny Gardella, George Myatt, and Tom Baker (the Giants traded him to their mortal enemies for Freddy Fitzimmons), to name but a very few, struggle through this game called Baseball, which was, evidently, a new experience for them; I can lift up my head again. MARSHALL, MIZE, AND COOPER- the names have become syn- onomous with Murder, Atomic Energy, and Hercules. Yes, the tide has definitely turned. The Murderers' Row has moved across the Harlem River, and there is no joy in Flatbush. Why, even one De- troit paper printed their pictures yesterday! I think the captain should have said, "Yes Kiddies, there is a National League-andleading it in homers and runs batted in are the three guys above. What's that word across their chest? Oh yes, that's new too. It stands for some organization back East. Like the Yankees-you know who the Yankees are." And so, if my managing editor does not fire me for this treason, I am looking forward to a summer with many,more days like yesterday. And I'll even try to twist my face into a smile the next time I pass a Tiger fan-for I know how he feels. As for the Athletics-they are a fine team, a wonderful team-for what else can I say with the editor filling out that little pink slip? e I ti , , 111 r r. at ilY ... .'dffil.
