After growing up to that callOus
age when he was fit To- college. he
went to st. Vincents in Los Angeles,
and as a student proved himself to
be quite a ball play er, displaying his
talents as a catcher. McGraw heard
of him before Connie" Mack and
signed him as a receiver. Snodgrass
was one of the f,XtuI es on the Giants
bench, like that bat bag and the water
cooler, for I couple of seasons after
he joined, which was in 1908. BecOm-
ing tired of the upholstery Of the
bench, he begged McGraw to transfer
him to Newark or Jersey City or some
place where he could get his name into
the box score once in a while.
I'm just getting ready to work you.7
replied the Little Corporal"
During this period of incubation on
the bench, McGTaw had urged Snod-
grass to try MS hand at outfielding
during the practice periods, and Fred
erick c. had proved TO be pretty fair
at this-in practice at least. In the
season of 1910, he got his first regular
lob, appearing as the center fielder
and doubling IN occasions as the New
York first 5aSepan.

John J. pays little attention 10 gos-

Snodgrass had leaped into the lime
light here and there from time TO time
up to last fall, but he practically pur
the limelight out Of business when he
dropped the fly in the final inning of
the last game with the Red SOX which
cost the Giants the series. Folks will
talk about that as long as they discuss
scandal, and the latter is in no way
dying out as a popular topic of con-
yersation That muff cost the players
on the New York club about $4,000.
Frederick c. enjoys his bank account
as well as anyone and doubtless was
thinking about how much it would set
him back if he dropped the ball when
he went after that famous fly. As
one baseball writer afterwards said, he
was attacked with stroke of .'finan-

YOrkS chances viii improve somewhat.
Most of the critics have figured that
MatheWson and Jeff TeSreau would
have to rescue the opulent end of the
worlds purse Marquard couldn'
stop the Athletics the last time he
fronted them. but he probably was not
the pitcher then that he is now. He
hurled remarkably against the Ele-
plants, however, until J. Franklin Ba-
ker nudged the ball out of the lot.
Medal Play VS.. Match Play.
Chick Evans's suggestion that the
amateur golf championship of the cOun-
try be determined by medal play exclu-
sively. as are the professional, will
probably not meet with universal IA
Yor. It's the personal element that
makes all competition worth while; and
match play furnishes that feature Of
an otherwise colorless contest
Mtach play tests the fiber of the
player as well as his mechanical skill
as golfer. The loss of a stroke in
medal play may be easily offset at
some other part of the journey, but
when the loss of a stroke means the
loss of a hole, and its consequent han
dicap, 1t takes more nerve and relia-
bility to keep to the notch.
The queer thing about the situation
to the man on the outside a-looking in
is that the professionals elect the least
trying form of contest to decide their
championships, leaving to the suppos-
edly nervous amateur the more nerve
racking form of contest
