<p> 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.
