NEW BLOOD FOR GIANTS.
Big Price Paid for Vanguard and
Meyers to Strengthen Team.

Cincinnati, July Sit is announced
at the headquarters of the National
Commission that the New York Ma
tional League Baseball Club has
bought Marquard, the star pitcher of
the Indianapolis team of the American
Association, and Meyers of St. Paul, in
the same league, supposed to be the
best catcher in the association, for
ST. 900,
It is said that 81 600 has been paid
for Maruuard and $4,000 for Meyers. If
the men are as good as they are re-
ported to he they will be almost cheap
at the price. Meyers will be an addi-
ton to the team, for Rresnahan is be-
ginning to show the strain of catching
every game, and q good alternate for
HIM will help the team nightly. Need
ham is hardly in the same class with
Bresnahan.
The Detroit and New York American
League teams have been after Mar
GUARD lately, and indianapolis is re-
ported to have refused an offer of S10,-
600 from the Chicago Nationals. Pres
ident Brush of the Giants is heavy
stakeholder in the Indianapolis club,
and this probably had much to do with
the purchase.
Maruuard has made brilliant record
in the minor league, being credited
with two no-hit games this season.
