nNSELlA, SCOUT WHO
DISCOVERED MARQUAR0
SIGNS WITH CARDINALS
st. Louis Scout Started on Gum
Shoe Career by Tipping
McGraw to Doyle.
ARMOUR MAY SIGN, TOO.
Jack Houston and Charley Fran
els Have Been Dropped
For the New Men.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. Dec. 22.-Foliow-
ing the system OF other big league
teams. Manager Roger Bresnahan or
the Cardinals intends TO supply himself
with several experienced and talented
scouts. The hrst appointment Is Rich
ard Kensella who put the Ihree-l.
league out OF existence by winning so
many pennants with the Springfield
club.
Kinsella's reputation as a scout Is
we'll known throughout the country.
His first step into the field was when
he sold Larry Doyle 10 the New York
Giants for $4,000 After Doyle made
good, Kinsella was put on the pay
roll OF the Giants. He was signed by
Manager Bresnahan. Friday, without
the knowledge of Muggsy McGraw.
Kinsella is the man who recon-
mended Chief Meyers and RUDE Mar
guard TO McGraw several seasons ago
when the Giants were playing In St.
Louis. The tip resulted in Muggsy
taking trip to indianapolis, where
the no infamous southpaw was Sc
cured. He also was the inside man in
getting Arthur Fletcher and Fred
HerZog for the Giants.
Bresnahan is now dickering with
Billy Armour, former manager OF the
Toledo American association club, and
probably Will line him up. Jack Hous-
ton and Charley Francis. who have
served as the gum-shoe artists for the
Cardinals for the past several years
have been dropped 10 make room for
more worthy men.
