Posted By: <b>Max Weder</b><p>I think they needed to designate Demmitt as American because O'Hara is Canadian <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Max

Posted By: <b>Scot Reader</b><p><br />Ted,<br />While we're on the subject of captions, have you noticed that the team designation on some of the Giants subjects, for example, Devore and McGraw (Hands at Hip), is "New York, Nat'l" whereas the team designation on most of the Giants subjects is "N.Y., Nat'l"? What gives there?<br />Scot
