George Burns, Giant Youngster,
Rapidly Developing Into Star

But Burns is a very wise youth, He
is not addicted to q whole lot of
conversation, but does plenty of
thinking. He is in line with Otis
Crandall on talk, and it is his retir-
ing disposition that Keeps him
somewhat in the background as le-
CARDS tiashiness
Excellent Base Runner.
Buns eXcels at base running. He
is nearly as fast on the bases as
Shafer or Devore. and they are
some speed boys He has never
reached the coveted 300 mark as a
hitter, but he stands up well at the
plate and has good eye. He is a
free hitter and is a difficult man to
size up at bat, for he hits 10 all
fields. An opposing player can not
lay for him with any degree of
certainty This is a strong point,
too.
Burns is a short, stout youngster,
being five feet seven inches in
height, and weighs 10 pounds. He
is very active, though, and brimful
of ginger. In fact, he is a McGraw
style of player from head to feet.
Utica. n. Y, was the city in
which Burns first attracted the at
tention of big league scouts In 1911,
and Sadie Mcmahon who was
star pitcher for the old Baltimore
Orioles when McGraw was mem
Der of the same team, spent nearly
a month in the New York State
league getting a line on Burns ex-
ctusively. AS a result of this thor
uugh investigation. Mcmahon ad-
vised McGraw TO secure the prom
Using player. This was done, and
81 in cash was paid the Utica club
for his release. This was in the
fall of 1911
Showed Sudden Flash.
Burns joined the Giants late in
the season and reported to McGraw
in Marlin with the first bunch of
recruits. He wisely took things
easy in practice. and for a fort
night tailed to show up to expec-
cations. But suddenly he flashed
one day like meteor. He had
gotten himself into fine trim and
then cut loose with all he had. and
he knocked McGraw, the Giants
and the war correspondents silly
with his sensational work
That showed how wise and
shrewd a kid he was. He lust
waited and piked along until he
knew he was in form and then
made himself known. McGraw was
dead stuck" on the youngsters

in not playing himself out at the
start
Burns hangs up his hat irr St.

might possibly hide the little town,
hut it is Burns home. and he
thinks there is no other burg like
it-not even excepting the big city.

Harvard 10 to 8 Favorite Over
Yale in Struggle for Title;
$4,000 VIII Witness Game
By W.J. McBeth.

n TEW HAVEN. CONN, Nov. %
v With the Eastern champion
ship at stake the prospect of
witnessing one of the most thrilling
and desperately contested battles
in football history was the magnet
that drew $4,000 persons to this lit
tie town today for the thirty third
annual clash between Yale and
Harvard.
1t was a typical college crowd,
recruited from every state in the
nation, that filled the hotel to its
capacity or paraded the gaily dec
Grated streets during the hours
preceding the game. Mothers, wives,
sisters and sweethearts OF grad
yates and under graduates of both
institutions, together with pretty
college girls, all CARRIED in multi
colors lent brightness to the scene.
The day was bright and cleal
with little wind--an ideal day for
the blue ribbon event Of the 1912
football season. The field was dry
and fast.

him out. He would gladly break a
leg to win this game.
The rest OF the Vanderbilt team
looks good enough as far as APP
pearances go; but Dr. Owsley Ma
nier, head Of the training depart
ment, says they are a set Of spa
vined. doddering wrecks and maybe
they are.
Ships ankle is twisted up like
tissue paper-to let them tell it.
Collins, however, is in fine trim.
All joking aside, Vanderbilt is not
Tight-or anywhere near right.
Whether or not the Commodores
are so badly shot to pieces that
they will lose to Auburn the after
moons performance will tell Pm
inclined to like Vanderbilt. even
considering all things,
THE Auburn crowd hasn't any
ante game excuses. The team
has played one whole season to get
ready Tor this game. AND 1T rs
READY.
Seldom has any team so brazenly
saved itself for one single struggle
as Auburn has this year. The Ala
Dama Polytechnics have not played
a really tough team this season.
They started with their own alum
nj Then they hideously walloped
Mercer. Then they got away with
Florida. but the F7oridians scored
13 points The next Saturday they
rolled up ~ points on Clemson, but
were scored on themselves to the
extent OF points. Then came the
game with Mississippi A. & M,
which Auburn won by a touch
down, The next Saturday Auburn
rolled up % points on Tech, but
were scored on once. The follow
ing Saturday came the game with
l.. S. T., which Auburn won by
single touchdown.
This is a moderately good sched-
ule, but not by any means a hard
one. The Auburn team was forced
to get right" but once this season
and that was for today's game.
Apparently Auburn must have a
lot that hasn't been turned loose
yet-in plays. in tricks and In re-
serve strength and power.
Take this as q certain fact:
Unless Auburn plays better to-
day than ever before this season
Vanderbilt will win.
That much is certain.
SO is the fact that the AubuInites
plan confidently to turn loose more
than they have before this season
and more than they ever turned
loose in their lives.
THE weather here today is fair
and warm. Everything has
combined to make today's game q
big drawing card.
We shall eoon know how the peo-
pie of this burg respond. My own
opinion is that after today's game
Vanderbilt and Auburn will have
had enough of this town and that
they will be ready to transfer the
game to Atlanta, where it really
belongs

r. GORGE BURNS. one of the
II Giants second string Of out
iielders, has the stuff in him
to make a big league star if given
the opportunity.
What few chances ne has had to
show" since he joined the team
demonstrated that he has class
enough to warrant his being re-
tanned on the clubs roster. And
the fact that Manager McGraw has
held on to the youngster is evil
dence enough of his ability.
During the early part of last sea-
son Burns was put in as a pinch
hitter quite frequently and made
good nearly every time he was
called on, and for a while has a
most enviable batting record. He
was kept under cover, more or less.
by reason of Becker, who was first
substitute outfielder, showing very
strong when he was put out In CEN
ter at the time Snodgrass filled in
at first base, owing TO MerlIle hav-
ing felon on his thumb.
Burns, though, will get his
chance later on, and as he is only
p years old he can afford to wait.
He was in % games during the sea-.
son of 1912, however, and that en-
titled him to a share of the Giants
world series receipts. Last season
he was given Il half hare, so he
has no reason to complain OF his
short career in the major league.
He is ambitious, though. and would
be the happiest youngster on earth
could he secure a permanent berth
on the regular team.
Often Wait Years For Chance,
Young recruits nowadays some
times have to warm the bench for
three or four years before they OBJ
tain the chance to show their worth
and Burns. unfortunately, seems to
be doomed to face that unsatisfac-
tory situation. But It is the policy Of
McGraw and also Connie Mack to
hold back his youngsters until they
are exactly ripe and then spring
them. Macks success with Eddie
Collins and the sensational result
of that plan shows the benefits to
be derived from such wide hand
ling.
Arthur Shafer, OF the Giants, is
in the same boat with Burns, and
had to bide his time, which will be
next season. 1t is possible that
Burns may get his long waited op-
portunity too, next season.
Burns is a crackajack outtielder
already, and covers lots Of veldt
He is a sure catch and has a good

Haryard's hopes rested largely
ON Brickley, the wonderful drop
kicker whose booting has won so
many games for the Crimson this
year. and FELTON,, the port side
punter.
Yale rooters hanged their faith
on Lefty" Flynn, whose long spir-
ais have kept the ball out of Yale
territory in many of this years
games; and Pumpelly, the sub full
back slated for a chance to show
his ability whenever the Blue is
within kicking distance of the
Crimson goal posts.
Harvard, with team lighter than
Yale's by nine pounds to the man,
was a 10 to favorite in the bet
ting. The presence of much Yale
money and the excellent condition
of the Blue squad had the tendency
of forcing down the odds to 10 to
