I PAIR OF GIANTS JVPAnrfT FftfSCIf It was An ill wind thai swept Frank Frlsch. recruit third baseman, out oft the Giants' ball lot this spring:. He filled a mighty big pup at the hot cor ner position. Appendicitis put lilm in the hospital. He's convalescing now; and will be back in a McGraw uniform soon. Neither Lear nor Sicking have been able to fill his shoes- The fans took a liking to the Fordham college, youth In the early games. When hoi gets hack they'll be mighty glad. Mostj any day when the Giants are playing at the Polo grounds as the hot ones are sieving through the third base ter-r ritory you can hear remarks like this: I "Just wait until our Frank gets back. I He'll get 'em." Frisch Is a brilliant fielder the color that stands out. -1 3v GEO&G& KLY When George Kelly found out that no one on the Giants' team seemed to want to get in the limelight, he stepped forth and said: "Fella citi zens, gazo upon me." And that Is just what has happened. .The same gang of "hard" guys, who razzed him in the early sorlngtime, have remained to praise him. He's a great lumbering player, but is getting all oiled up now. , George has to stoop a little to get in the club house door, but that don't embarras him after the crowds have been handing him bouquets on his ball - playing. You know the approved way of standing at the bat is with the feet together and then step into the ball. Well, Kelly don't conform. He does a! perfect scissors. His loft foot toes the front chalk lino of the batter's box and his right toes the hack line. But he i cracks 'em anyway. That's what rings j the bell. j S (2 SEPT 2.7 VORWS 1 26 6EPT.2tt , ft&ORD 27 5EPT.20 ' 24 j jfP". ' 23 AUG. 25 2.1 j AUG-2 I 21 AUG 2V 20t Ave 23 iy 1 AUG.

The greatest horse of history and the Babe Ruth of the race track Is Man-o-War, the Fair Play-Mahubah colt No thoroughbred has even won $200, 000 in stakes and purses in the history of the race track, but it appears to be. certain that the great-hearted colt that broke the record for the mile a few days ago will accomplish it with case. Man-o'-War' earned J83.325 as a two-year-old In winning nine out of ten races. He added 523,000 with the Preakness stakes at the beginning of the season, and brought his total up to about 3125,000 when he galloped hi record mile In the WJtherB stakes at Belmont park a few days ago. Ho Is scheduled for tho Belmont stakes. I Big Stakes Ahead. But he will get his great chance to shove hi winnings past the J200.000 mark when he enters the Latonla championship stakes next fall, com Ipetlng for $50,000. j Man-o'-War's performance In the Withers stakes was by far one of the most remarkable ever witnessed.1 Jockey Kummcr was compelled to hold the colt In practically the entire (distance, and ho snapped over the line with his head bowed low. so strongly did Kummcr pull him. "I could give him his head but for one-sixteenth of a n.lle," said Rum mer. "I knew he was breaking a. rec ord, but I knew It was best not to let him out. He could have done tho mile a full second or more better and still have been held in." , I Only Two Fntcr. j But two horses have done faster miles than Man-o'-War, and their races were run against time.
