. — ♦! Today’s Sport Parade (By Henry McLemore) * New York, Apr. 23.—(U.R) WN' Ham Harold Terry, boss of the New York Giants, is a very gifted man. lie has talents to spare. He (can play a mean first base. He, 'can hit a baseball far and often, j 'lie can handle, at a single chew-. | ing. more tobacco than any other | ' man in the major leagues. And down Memphis way they say he is such a red hot gas and oil salesman that many of his best customers are fellows whose only means of locomotion is a horse and buggy. But to me William’s greatest tab , ent is not one of these, but rather his ability to utter phrases which j have backspin on them. He is the one man in the world I know of who can consistently put reverse I English on English. He is always ‘ saying things which, innocent enough at the time, come raging back after a while to hit him squarely in the face. His words behave after the manner of homing j pigeons. Released, they circle a ! few times and fly off for Al to see (in the papers 1 and hear, and then come back to nose. And in his hair, too! | William's crack about Brooklyn’s ! still being in thte league was one , of them. He had forgotten all I about these words when back they came to pester him. Another was in his remark, when the baseball writers were riding him, about ‘»25 a week reporters trying to run his business. This statement, uttered In a moment of pique, caused him | much misery and many headaches. Now William has come along with another one. Questioned re- > cently as to the Giants' chances of ) winning the National league gon--1 salon, as we call the bunting in our 1 set, he was quoted as replying: ) "If we don’t win the pennant this i year, I'll sign up with the House > of David nine!" Now that is strictly another one of those homing pigeon utterances. Reauing it, you can almost see the wings, pin feathers, and beak on 1 each word. If the day comes when 1 the Giants are matematically barredfrom winning the pennant, that 1 utterance will circle overhead 1 three times and flutter down on i William s long-suffering noggin. Os course, William can kill the ; "pigeons” by bringing those Giants home in front, and right now everything is very lovely, indeed, up in Harlem under the lee of Coogans bluff. The Giants are ; out in front by two and a half ’ games, and can't lose for winning. ’ But this mad dash by the young ■ men of Manila , an isn't quite as > dashing as it would seem, for since > the season opened they haven’t > played anything more competent • than an assorted selection of Bees,

Butterflies. Phillies, and Robins. You're supposed to lick that sort of opposition. When a Bee or a Robin bites you, that's news. Unfortunately for the Giants, they can’t play around with Flora and Fauna forever. The time is coming when they wilil have to play a couple of baseball teams. I mean, of course, the Cards and the Cubs, with their Hermans and Galans. Hartnetts and Warnekes, Deans and Mcdwicks, Collinses and Demarees. The Giants will find these gents a bit different from the talent which goes through the motions for the combined Bee, Pbilly, and Robin circus. Os course, the Giants may fool me. and tame the tough 'uns this year, too. Nevertheless, I have a note in my future engagements book to call on William on the afternoon of September 13 (the cars open here that day) and see how his beard is coming along. They won’t let you on that House of David outfit unless you have a beard, you know.
