Giants Suffer Slick Trades and Slow Start This Season
New York Giants have endured poor breaks in trades and on the field. They traded Ernie Lombardi and Connie Ryan for stars, but Lombardi underperformed while Ryan sparked the Braves. Barna’s move to Boston helped, while Chase failed to win a game. A twilight loss to the Dodgers left the club 7-1, with Chase still winless. The Cardinals beat Cincinnati 6-2 in weather-shortened action.
