He is better baserunner than the
RUDE, and one of the best fielding
outer sentinels developed in the last
couple of seasons. He captures all
kinds of flies, and has a crack whip,
preventing runners advancing very
far on base hits. On their present
form one man is as good as the other.
Snodgrass will be McGraw's center
fielder, but Mack is undecided on that
spot. He has Walsh, Strunk and
Daley, anyone of whom is a good
man. Snodgrass is not a wonderful
fielder, he often misjudges fly balls
and frequently plays grounders poor
ly, allowing an extra base. He is a
batting enigma. For a couple of
weeks he is helpless before any kind
of pitching. Without warning he
switches and clouts the same brand
of pitching to all corners of the lot.
mighty uncertain.
Walsh or Strunk will probably do
the center fielding for Connie. Jimmy
is on batting spree, and a hang
over may not overtake him before
Oct. Z. Strunk is also stout wallop-
er, one Of the fastest men in the
game and a star fielder. He has been
with the Athletics for several sea-
sons, though youngster. He under
stands the Mack system of play per-
feetly.
Right field is about as we'll taken
care of as any manager could wish.
Red Murray of the Giants is one of
the games bright spots, veteran
and up to all the tricks of the trade.
Eddie Murphy is seeing his first year
in the big tent, but is not overshad-
owed by any means when placed
beside Murray. -
Murphy is the better batter and
baserunner, though the margin of
is almight small. Murray

average on the year than Chappell,
but the latter was away to a poor
start and is just beginning to come.
In the last three weeks he has hit
on par with the Cub. Schultz has
the edge on fielding and excels in
the baserunning department.
In center there is no question of
Cub superiority. In word, T. Leach
has the class and is Bodies peer at
every angle of the game. There is
not a finer fielder in the business
than Little Tom. He will get balls
that Bodie can't come close to. He is
batting about 25 points ahead Of the
fence buster and can run bases in a
way to make Ping look like cigar
store Indian. Leach is the brighter
man in baseball lore.
Right field offers closer fight than
any of the outpost positions, Collins
and Wilbur Good contending for the
honors. Shane is not batting up to
his standards this season, clouting
for the lowly mark of .237. Good is
even lower than this, but the test is
not fair, as the Cub has played in
few games. He was used principally
as pinch hitter early in the season,
and did not get enough work to per-
