- DIED. Horace Stoneham, 86, who succeeded his father as
- president of the New York Giants baseball team in 1936, moved
- it to San Francisco in 1958 and sold it in 1976; in Scottsdale,
- Ariz. Bitter New York fans accused Stoneham of colluding with
- Brooklyn Dodgers President Walter O'Malley to abandon the city
- and continue the two teams' historic rivalry on the West Coast.
- There is some evidence that Stoneham had decided to move the
- Giants before O'Malley considered moving the Dodgers to Los
- Angeles.
