The Giants' Decline Turns The 1955 Baseball Season Upside Down

By JOE REICHLER

New York, July 6.

The decline of the World Champion New York Giants, the fast pace of the Brooklyn Dodgers, assorted injuries to Cleveland's key men and unexpected brillance by the New York Yankees' relief plichers combined to turn the 1955 baseball season upside down.

Other factors that helped change the entire baseball picture in both the National and American Leagues were the unlooked for rapid development of the Chicago Cubs' and Detroit Tigers' youngsters, the return of Ted Williams and his booming bat and the refusal of such "low-regarded clubs as Kansas City and Pitts- burgh to play dead,
