"Algy" Mcbride has started off we'll for the
Reds. The Browns players say he is play,
ing very scrappy' ball and will receive his
quietus when he runs up against the wrong
man.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
| The Browns players tell what is not so.
Mcbride is not brawler or leg breaker.
He is wonderful player, who is very fast
on the bases, but he never has a mean word
to say to anybody.-CincinHah Enquirer.
