Eugene Steinbrenner is to stay with
the Phillies throughout the season.
President Horace Fogel believes he has
picked coming star in the Pittsburgh
youth. "Steiny," as he is now famil-
iarly called, was recommended to the
Philadelphia club last season, and Fo-
gel Immediately got his signature to
contract. This contract called for de-
livery in 1918.
Fogel had no intention of calling the
young man before then. but events
compelled the club to hustle around for
talent Steinbrenner's father wished
lis son to continue his scholastic work,
but. after talking matters over with
the Phillies' president, decided to let
his son join the team.
Eugene packed his wooden socks and
red tie in his telescope and started for
Philadelphia. where, upon arrival. he
presented himself at the Office of the
club with the announcement, "rm the
new second sacker Of the Phillies."
Steiny was signed, and without any
spring training he jumped into the
game the day Knabe was out and COW
cred second like major. Out of seven
chances he emerged without an error
and also hit the great Mathewson for
an average OF 800.
