This is mostly due to the fact that
manager McGraw has always tabOOed

his old pitchers and they have consci-

When Raymond first became a mem

right, to continue with his moist

Bugs, too. had the most natural de-
livery, consequently the easiest of any
pitcher who ever went in the box
McGraW says this today.
Tesreau was not a spitbalI pitcher
when McGraW first secured him for the
Gaints from the Shreveport, La, club.
He was just a big, strong fellow with
terrific speed and the build of an ath-

had been thrown with such an astute
manager as McGraW, and wise, per-

The big bear stranger was still IN

camp IN Marlin, Texas in the spring
of 1911 His speed and stamina were
all there, but McGraw, with a cham

to his friend. Joe Kelley, manager of
the Toronto club, for one season in that
strong minor league organization.
Tesreau took up the sQitball himself

swIftest balls were too straight. He
had to groom" them to get them over
the plate-and then they were

the Shelton pitcher, sounded him for
a. two base nit Heffner could not
score on it, though, as they caught him
mapping at the base.- Weiss, however,
followed with a fielder's choice which
landed him on the bags and he was
scored from first on Bakers long dou-
bic into center. Barker then stole third
base in his customary way, and when
H Grady's grounder was booted, Barker
came home for the seccld score of the
inning.
No scoring was done in the second
inning. but in the third, by the bunch
ing of three hits, one Of which was
a three Dagger, the Miles made three
more scores, which made their total of
five for the game. Weiss, IS usual, was
the first to get on IN the inning by
single and was scored on l three bag
ger by Barker. In the precious inning
Barker had made double, which
played its part in the scoring. Barker
then came home himself for the second
run of the inning, when H. Grady went
safe on an error. Grady st,le second
and went to third on a passed ball and
made a run on Corning's singh.
&. The Sheltons did not score and were
unable even TO get near the Bugs.
