When the baseball war was declare'! be-
tween the National n American Leagues
Grady cast his fortunes with Washington.
Following his Washington Engagement ne
Joined the Kansas City American Assoc!a-
ton team and for two years was the best
batsman In that lea que.
His work In the American Association
was So good that he was the recipient of
numerous offers to 90 back in the major
league.
Mike was finally induced by Manager
Nichols to come to st. Louis. and his gen
eral work since joining the locals has
made him the IDOL of the fans:
Grady is a sciappy. aggressive ball play
er when in the game. but as soon as the
game liz over Mike IL a pleasant. enter
tanning gentleman. Among the members
OF his profession Grady is Just as popular
as he is with the fans.
a MODEST PLAYER.
He has not been affected with n swell
head. a maiady that usually attacks play
ers when they are playing %top-notch base
ball. Modest to a degree that almost ap-
proachcs bashfulucss. Grady is the last
man in the world to talk OF his hitting
ability.
He will discuss any other topic but his
own ability to hit the ball When that

"rl do the best + can" Is the genial
Celts usual rejoinder TO all queries con-
corning MS opinion ABOUT HS CHdHCeS loF
leading the National League.
Grady IL by no means an individual ball
player. He IL always working for the in
terest Of the Cardinals. and his enthusiasm
has pulled many a game out of the fire
when the Cardinals looked TO be "all in"
As a receiver. Grady is almost as pro
ficient as he is with the willow. He -
of the best men in the business on foul
files.
Grady goes after everything near his
territory. and he catches more hard fouls
thai any other receiver who has worked
at League Park this season.

While the Cardinals have no chance to
lead the league. they will in ali likelihood
have the credit Of producing the National
Leagues champion batter.
Not since the days when Burkett was
king OF siuegers has st. Louis had Il
champion hitter.
When the Browns were four-time cham
pions Zip O'Neill was the leading bat
ter of the American Association.
He was a terror to all the pitchers in
the American Association. O'Neill was "A
hitter of the slvgging type. when batters
gloried in their power to make tremen-
dous drives.
And unless all indications fall the mantle
of Tip O'Neiil VIII descend to Michael
W. Grady, the st. Louis Cardinals
catcher.
At present Mike is ~clouting the ball at
Il terrific clip. For a few days last week
he fell off, but ne Is again hitting It on
the nose, and If he continues his present
batting clip he will have tho honor Of
leading the National League.
GRADY A TYPICAL SLUGGER.
Grady is the smuggling type of batsmcn.
His sturdy Tram encased in muscles of
steel gives to him the ability to drive the
ball about the field with tremendous force.
and infielders always back up when
Grady takes his stand at the plate.
Mike. while he Is not a scientific hitter.
is Il hard man to fool. He stands back
from the plate and grips his bat close to
the handle. This style Of holding the will
low and standing gives great leverage to
him. He usually meets the ball squarcly
and It skins off his bat like a swiftly shot
arrow.

HIS FIRST ENGAGEMENT.

for getting the youngster. After a few
days negotiating Rogers got Grady's
name to "A contract. and he Joined the
