FIRST BASEMAN WILTSE---MAYBE

Will Fred Merkle play first for
the Giants next year?
Any number of fans are asking
themselves this question; Merkle
Is with the world-tourers in
Asia; SO is McGraw, but the effort
of the New York business mana
ger to trade Merkle, Snodgrass
and an armful of bats for Ed
Konetchy, at the National leagues
annual meeting, indicates that
McGraw wants to rid himself of
the big fellow whose errors of
omission have made him a
marked man.
There appears to be little rea-
son why McGraw should go out
side his own team for a flashy
first baseman The work of
George Wiltse during the last
post-mortem series was so high
class that 1t was startling.
1t was old Hooks wonderful
fielding that gave the Giants the
only game they won from the
slashing, runaway Mackmen.
The idea that Wiltse cannot hit
We'll enough Tor q first DaSeman
need not last very long: Wiltse
hit 1926 in 1912, and, although
this may have been a flash, 1t
shows he is capable, and IL he
played every day and had a
chance to get his "eye upon the
ball" Wiltse might surprise some
Of the home folks in Syracuse.
Wiltse is about through as a
pitcher. He has been with the
team since 1904. when he was
purchased from the Troy team of
the New York State league. Con-
troll has always been his forte.
His best season was the never-to-
be-forgotten year of 1908, when
he and Mathewson pitched the
Giants into a pennant, only to be
Merkled out of 1t.
When Wiltse went to the
Giants he was the cleverest field
ing pitcher in the N. Y. 8. L., and
has always ranked high as q
fielder in the National. He Is one
Of the pitchers at whom oppo-
nents never bunt the ball, because
he never falls over his feet in
getting the ball.

TOURNEY
BEGAN THIS
MORNING

Between 80 and 40 caddies
teed off today in the annual golf
tournament Of the bag-carriers
held at the Tacoma Golf and
Country club. Interest was keen
between the men and women of
the club as to the outcome of the
match, and many turned out to
see their favOrites play.
The caddies themselves have
been praeticing for many days in
anticipation of the tourney, and
the rivalry between the little fell
lows is very great.
Professional James Barnes
who Is in charge Of the event, had
a series of handicaps prepared for
the kids this morning, but so ar
ranged that it was as fair for one
as for all.
