GIANTS DISTRAUGHT

Supporters of the New York Giants must be indeed optimists if they hope for a revival of their heroes on the strength of the reports of the first two matches which have been so unceremoniously snaffiel by the Yankees. As things stand it looks as if the Giants will be even more ignominiously dwarfed by their opponents than in 1936. The reports suggest that up to a certain point the two teams were on level terms but that the Giants could not stay the course. Not only will the Giants' ow porters be depressed but those who. are responsible for the organization of the World Series will ruefully look at the box office returns. If the Yankees win four games straight off the reel then financially the contest will be far short of expectations, There will consequently be a general hope that the Giants will somehow be refreshed, whether by sleep or otherwise, and be able to make their fellow citizens work harder for the victory than it results suggest is possible, The Yankees attempt to play with a weaker adversary.
