BIG SHAkEUP FOR
MCRAW'S GIANTS
Manager Thinks Merkle,
Doyle and Burns Ready
For the Skids.
WAS WEAK
IN HI FIELD
Only Natural to Expect that
Several Erstwhile Stars
Will be Dropped

New York. Oct. 1S.-John McCraw
has already started To make over his
ball team for next Year. Vie believes
there arc Weaknesses be will he apie
to strengthen and has already started
out to make deals for players he needs.
He has made an offer for konetchN
and MaSce of the Cardinals, Bescher
of the Reds and Bill Sweeney OF the
Braves. He is willing L" make liberal
offers for these men. hut the han
arc very much against getting them.
For the Boston Braves. Sweeney is
too valuable Il man tn lose. @ the
Reds EeScher is also II star. M he has
been going badly for tn" past season.
konetchy and Masoe are the best men
on the Cardinal team.
Merllle. Doyle and Burns are the
men McGraw is willing 10 let go. Mer
kle and Doyle are the stars of his in
field. but if McGraw has seen signs OF
their slowing up he will not hesitate
to dispose of them. Burns is II OF
the youngest men on his team, but the
Giants leader knows he will have to
let go some of his good mon in order
to secure stars in return.
1t is not to be wondered at that NC
Graw has come to the decision he has
to strengthen. The Giants were not a
strong combination in the field or at
the bat during the past season.
Merkle and Doyle were two OF the
best men If they played up to their
speed. but there was something wrong.
Either they were dissatisfied with
their surroundings. or else they have
begun to slip.
After losing by such one-sided
counts as the Giants lost to the Athlet-
les, it is only natural to expect a
shake-up. McGraw won the worlds
series in 1905 with a team of stars. but
even then he made changes that sur
prised the baseball world. He got rid
Of Dan McGann, Bill Dahlen. and Bill
Gilbert. These men were old-time
friends Of the manager. but it made no
difference to him because he was only
doing what he thought was the best.
There is for sentiment when II
comes to keeping a player on a team
after his days Of usefulness are past.
True. it has often been done. but Me-
Graw never does. If he believes q
players days Of usefulness are over he
will not hesitate to sell or trade.

awarded the player to the Winona

turned to Kansas City and ordered the

Kansas City club was censured for not
complying strictly with the rules Of
