8 =» Co ® Tw WHAT'S HAPPENING to the Giants—once “the greatest name in baseball”? Because the box office slump set in at about the time Leo Durocher was made manager-—and Has §et no better fast—there is a tendency to place the blame on the dandy little manager. Maybe that's where it belongs. There still must be a great number of people who prefer a more wholesome type, who believe rowdyism belongs to the stone age of baseball and who find swaggering blatherskites vulgar and offensive. S . » . ”. » ¥ AND YET I can’t believe that Durocher’s presence in the has had any marked effect on the situation. He just isn’t
play, not to watch the master minds # . » # . . 3 NO, THIS protest of the fans—and that's what it has developed into-—goes deeper than that. It is a protest.against a
situation which has grown increasingly worse—or, at best, has |
shown no symptoms of improving. The fans have obviously been taking stock. They haven't had a pennant winner in 11 years. They know the Giants have been no higher than third since 1937. Eight other times they've finished in the second division and twice —oOnce as recent as 1946-—they were absolutely last. And where are the Giants going this year? Exactly nowhere. Is it any wonder the fans are beginning to suspect they are being taken for suckers? ® . . ” . . For two straight seasons now they've been encouraged to expect pennants. Manager Mel Ott was blamed—and canned— when none materialized last season. Who gets the rap this season? It was Horace Stoneham, the club president, who professed to see championship class in the '48 and '49 outfits. Either he didn't know or he was kidding the fans. This gives you a choice between qualities in the gentleman, neither admirable. - Ns . ts " ® =» I FAIL to see how Stonéham can defend himself against the charge that he is practically responsible for the low estate to which the Giants have fallen. After all, he makes the major decisions and it is a matter of record that, in the aggregate, his decisions have effected no sensational results. On the contrary, he has been in charge since 1936 following the death of his father. The club won that year and repeated the next, but these successes represented the front office work of others. : Do you realize that while the Giants have been staggering along under the administration of Stoneham with clubs that ranged from fair to gosh-awful, five of his rivals have won a total of 11 pennants? This includes Boston, which hadn't won since 1914, Cincinnati since 1919 and Brooklyn since 1920. ss » » : oe : AND BY WAY of emphasizing Stoneham’s failure—there can . be no other word—he has been beaten by newly arrived competition around here: Col. I. 8. MacGenius didn’t show in Brooklyn until 1938 (he won in '41) and B. (for Barter) Rickey didn’t fetch his studied ambiguities to Flatbush until 1943. By 47 he had a pennant. ; : - And Stoneham must feel monstrously embarrassed when any-

Predicts Rogel Will Top Fullbacks
BERLIN, Aug. 30 (UP) — Bud Higgins, former football coach at Penn State, said today that Frank Rogel, the Nittany Lions piledriving line smasher, would be “Mr. Fullback of 1949.” Rogel, Penn State's top ground gainer the last two years and leading scorer with 42 points last |season, averaged more than four yards per try as the Lions lost only to Pittsburgh last year. “Rogel undoubtedly will be ‘Mr. Fullback of 1949,” Higgins said while on a tour of Army camps in the American zone of Germany where he is conducting clinics for GI coaches. “He is the most likely standout player of the year and one of the greatest players of all time.” -
from North Braddock, Pa., gained 649 yards in his first year at Penn State, an average of better than five yards per try. Last year, he advanced 602 yards on he ground.
