Baseball trades make strange hedfellows.
II any one at this time last year had said
that Al Bridwell. OF the Giants, would be
playing side by side with Steinfeldt OF the
Cubs, on third, and receiving throws 20
second base from Johnny King, all three
being on the tail-end Boston club ne would
have been reInanded 70 Bellevue for exam
nation. II Mike Donlin goes 10 Boston
there will be quite galaxy OF ex-Cubs and
ex-Gants working peacefully side by side.
in contrast 70 some bitter fights IN the past
II is limited that the weakness Of the ST.
Louis Cardinals has been discovered. and
that II is southpaw pitchers. The success
OF Wiltse, OF the Giants, yesterday, and
Rucker. Of Brooklyn. last week against
Bresnahan's nine probably will be noted by
other managers. and a plethora OF port
side fingers will be sent against the Car
dnals It is an even money wager that
Marquard Will show his wares against
| them to-day.
