ability to hit the ball, and he is what
is known to baseball players as a
natural left field hitter" quality al
ways found in the best batsmen of the
day Tooley is strong on hard-hit
grounders and Is an excellent thrower.
lie seems prone, however, at times to
toozle the easier chances and his mex
perlence cropped up when quick think
ing was necessary in a pinch. He has
the natural ability to earn his spurs
as a big Lacquer, however, and all that
ne needs rs experience. Camel received
many offers for his star shortstop. but
as the Brooklyn Club farms all its
surplus material to the Flour CITY Club
Bill Dahlen had first claim on Tooley.
Elmer Steele, of the Providence Club
has pitched well enough to secure a
trial with the Pittsburg Club. Steele
was one OF the best pitchers in the
league. With a team to back him up
that finished in last place, he won al
most two-thirds of his games, and he
was also valuable as batsman Elston,
an outhelder on the same club, hit the
ball hard and finished strong He was
reported to have been purchased by the
Boston American League Club, but it
has been limited that the Hub club was
only covering up for the Grays.
Corcoran, veteran.
Mickey Corcoran, of tie Bsons, who
developed a tendency to hit the ball on
the nose hard and often, was purchased
from the Buffalo Club by Cincinnati
I long before any other team had
chance to put in a draft for him.
Corcoran has been in the Eastern
League for some time. but his work
this year was the most sensational of
his career. Mickey is not exactly
genius as quick thinker but he is
smooth fielder and an excellent hitter.
His ambition is to become an outfielder.
Dicky Rudolph of the Toronto Club,
deserves promotion on his record. and
the Giants will get a conner in Joe
Kelley's phenom. 1t was an off day
for Ruddy when the opposing team
scared more than two runs on him.
Bobby keefc's Speed.
Bobby Keefe, picked up by Cincinnati,
has wonderful curve ball that will
make some of those big leaguers sit up
up and take notice. Bobby is not ex-
actly youngster, as he has been up
for trial before, but he was never a
major Lacquer Best of ALL he is q
teetotaler and gives little trouble to
any manager. He has wonderful speed
and a change of pace that makes life u
burden for any batsnan who has to
face him. Keefo is experienced and is
bound to make good in fast company.
Jersey City will contribute Esmond to
Cincinnatis lineup. Esmond has de-
veloped wonderfully during tho last
year. One could almost see him grow
| in ability. Esmond was always a good
| fielder, but lacked the ability to clout
consistently. This year he overcame
that handicap and was one of the best
hitters in the Skeeter lineup.
Eddie Zimmerman. of the Newark
Club, who spent but one full season in
| the Powers organization, looks like a
fixture at third base for the Brooklyn
Club next year. Zimmerman is really
one of the most wonderful third base
men in the business. Eddie was given
tryout by st. Louis but he wasn't q
regular. If he can hit around .240 and
play third for the Infants next year as
| he did for the Tigers this season he is
bound to be the regular guardian of the
three-quarter station Tor the Brooklyn
Club next year.
