per cent He is great first baseman,
something the Reds have lacked since Jake
Beckley left the club. There is absolutely
no question about big Johns ability to hold
down the position in high-class form, and
his presence will give the rest of the infield-
ers the confidence which Is needed to make
them cut loose and get away with all kinds
of quick and difficult throws. Camel is a
good batter, having always more than held
up his end with the stick. He hit for an
average Of 1885 with the Grand Rapids club
in the Central League the past season. In
addition to his mechanical ability as bat
ter and fielder. he has a world of ginger,
and in that respect his work will be greatly
appreciated here. He will be on the coach
ing lines all the time. and will see to 1t as
captain that no lifeless games are played at
League Park next season.
