GIANTS' SOUTHPAWS UNUSUALLY STRONG

Whenever a southpaw is good he is very good, but when he is off color he’s worth about as much to a ball club as a page off last year’s calendar. So far this season the three Giant southpaws have been very, very good. Schupp, Benton and Sallee have won approximately three-fourths of their games, which is an unusually good showing for a trio of portside heavers performing on one ball club. The work of these forkhanders must be figured as one of the reasons why the Giants are out so far In front, and Schupp, in particular, aided them to smother the opposition. Perhaps the most noticeable feature of Schupp’s pitching is his wonderful control, a thing very few left-handers can boast of.
