'COCASH IS MAKING
(. GOOD WITH THE
NJ GRANTEES
DETROIT oUTFIELDER is THE
SURPRISE OF THE GIANT TRAIN
ING CAMP. ACCORDING TO Ex-
PERT SID MERCER.
By SID MERcER

MARLIN SPRINGS March 5.-The
ease of Johnnie Cocash. the speedy lit
lie outfielder from Detroit is a prac-
teal demonstration of the fact that
minor league reputation is no guar
nntee of steady employment in fast
company, and that, vice versa. LACK
of reputation in the minors is no bar
To development in major league. Co
cash Is one of the players drafted by
the New York club last fall. Te cost
the club $780, As an outtielder with
the Springfield, H.. club Cocash at
tracted but little attention from major
league scouts--so little that nobody
tired TO buy his release. He is not
great find, according to the Three-Eye
league records, and McGraw might
never have picked him up had he not
liked the young man actions in an
exhibition game which the Giants play
ed at Springfield last summer.
But Cocash is making good down
here. He is relying on ability. and
not a minor league recommendation.
McGraw Is shrewd judge OF players!
and there is no doubt that he has a
high opinion of the Detroit boy. Minor
league records do not go far with the
boss of the Giants. II he gets an ex-
pensive player and discovers that he
has plucked a lemon be gets rid OF
him. Spike Shannon cost the club j
big sum, but as soon as he deteriorat-
ed his reputation did not hold job
for him.
Cocash looks very promising, and he
h strictly in the scramble for "A chance
10 remain with the team as an extra
outfielder. What McGraw likes about
Cocash is his nimbleness and his abil-
ity to profit by instruction. The little
fellow can field and run bases like
deer, and remembers what he is told.
He may be one OF those spring hittets.
hut IL he keeps up his present clip ne
will make the team. In the practice
game the Detroit lad is meeting the
ball squarely. In the games of Mon
day and yesterday he made nine sue
cessive hits in as many times at bat.
and that's going some. The cases OF
Cocash and HerZog are somewhat sim
liar. HerZog was an unknown quaint
~ last spring. He showed unusual
ability, and when his chance came he
was not found wanting. Yet he came
to the Giants with no great minor
league reputation.
