TEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Outfielder
Marsans, the crack Cuban player
4 of the Cincinnati Reds, is being
prominently mentioned. and deservedly
so, in my opinion, as a candidate for
a regular position in the Giant out
field, and I know that manager Nc
Graw thinks very favorably of the
Havana speed marvel.
Just what trade could be made be-
tween managers McGraw and Tinker to
bring about deal whereby Marsans
could become a member of the National
league champions is a matter that no
doubt could be satisfactorily arranged,
and to mutual advantage, for Marsans
would flll IN most acceptably on the
Giants lineup, and TO my way of think
ing would prove TO be a regular Whirl-
wind Of value to the home club.
Marsans is no longer an experiment
he has had two seasons of National
league experience and has made good.
He would improve, too. wonderfully so,
II he could play in New York, where
the surroundings and conditions would
be much more cOngenial to him than
in Cincinnati, where he has been al

Cubans require inspiration to be at

would improve his already great abil-
ity fully so percent.
Marsans has all the characteristics
OF a born ball player-just the kind
that appeals TO McGraW. Speed, and
lots of il, was always McGraw's hobby;
IN TACT 1t was the Giants manager
who first saw the absolute necessity
OF speed to keep pace with the pro-
gression of the sport. It was McGraW
who set the present pace and trans
formed the style of playing the game,
and this was in Baltimore, when the
famous Orioles flashed so suddenly
from second division team into a
three time championship aggregation,
thereby throwing the biggest kind of
q surprise into those old time man
ayers who lived in the self conceited
imagination that the game of 1876
would do for 1886.
Every year since McGraW has had
charge of the Giants he has endeavored
TO increase the speed of his teams, and
he has succeeded-that is, as far as
the physical part goes. but il cannot

Schang Is Prize Desired By Many Teams
George SaTngs of Braves
Catcher
q
DAMON RUNYON

Jew YORK, Nov. John J. Nc
Graw once put in a draft for
Walter Schang. the sensational
young catcher of the Athletics; and
he also tried to draw the companion
piece to Walter in the alliterative bat
terry sketch of the White Elephants,
Robert Shawkey. It was in 1912 when
McGraW had drafts in for II men and
failed to land a single one. That same
season the Boston Red SOx, who were
also in there reaching for Schang,
failed to come up with so much as a
bat boy.
A year or so prior to that draft the
late John T. Brush, owner of the
Giants, who had a fondness Of study
ing records Of youngsters down in the
sticks, dODed out 10 boys who had
leagues. and suggested to McGraW that
ne draft them. McGraW usually has
a scout look over a man before he
tries to get him, but in this instance
he finally adopted Brush's suggestion
with some misgiving and sent the
names of the kids to the drawing He
landed every one, and never was such
a bunch of ball players seen in train
ing camp
If there was any talent in any
member of that delegation it has failed
to develop to this very day, and there
after Brush never offered any draft

although Schang would probably have
developed just the same under any
other manager who gave him the
chance. The fact that he was used
by Mack in his first year Of big league
service, and made good, proves that

he got Schang, and the youngster went

ney to manage the Braves he told his

and that's a young fellow named

now"
For some reason Stallings failed to
get Schang, however, and Is clubs in
the two major leagues put in drafts
for him Connie got him in the draw
