Semi-weekly herald., 1913-10-13

Grant, Pitcher Arthur Fromme late
of the Cincinnati Reds, and Larry |
Mclean, one-time catcher for the
Reds and afterwards of the St. Louis
Cardinals. Saying Reds and Cardin-
ais brings visions of the tail-end OF
the National league race, but Me-
Lean, Fromme and Grant are among
those present at the daily combats
between the Giants and Athletics and
will be in on the grandy diyvy of the
money.
Look it over. Grabbed off from
the tail-end teams during the season
and planked right down in the midst
of one Of the finest little collections
of Worlds series money ball play
er ever gazed upon. If the Giants win
Mclean, Fromme and Grant stand
to have between $4,000 and $4,000
velvet handed over to them. In the
meantime, one might look around and
discover Leon Ames. At the begin
ming of this season Ames and Math-
ewson were the only members of the
"old guard of the Giants. Mathew
son is the only guardsman left now.
1t may be recalled that Ames was
traded to Cincinnati in the deal which
brought Fromme to the Great White
Way. 1t will be strange winter
without the usual contribution from
the grand old tussle for Leon.
"Old Doc" Crandall might have
been left out in the cold by being
skidded to St. Louis when Mclean
was brought on here had it not been
for terrible yell from all corners
of the immediate territory surround
ing McGraw. Crandali is almost an
institution. When McGraw sent him
to st. Louis along with some cash
which Mrs. Helene Halfway Robin
son Britton, might buy new gown,
rumors of insurrection, revolutions,
guerilla warfare, -whacking and
what-not began to come from the
Giants camp. "Old Doc" was brought
back in hurry and was much in evil
dence today as one of those who will
share in the spoils.
Young Shawkey, Athletic pitcher,
hasn't any great wall to register.
Shawkey was in the International
league when the season opened. In
the middle of things Connie Mack
picked him. Now he comes in for the
swag.
As one Of the queer twists Of base
ball, but three of the players who
battled for Mack and McGraw in the
series between the two teams in 1876,
appear in the series this year. But
these three are the mainstays of the
contending managers. They are Ben
der and Plank, the hope of the Ath-
letics in the box, and Mathewson,
McGraw's standby. McGraw won the
championship in 1905 with Mathew
son, Coakley, McGinnity, Ames, Nc
Gam, Gilbert, Devlin, Dahlen, Brown,
Mertes and Donlin. Mack had Bend
er, Plank, Powers, Shreck, Davis.
Murphy, Love, Monte, Cross, Lord,
Hartsel and Seybold. Davis is now
chief adviser to Mack but seldom
gets in the game. Dan Murphy is
substitute. The regular outfielder
named Murphy, now with the Ath-
letics, carries the handle, Eddie with
his name. Lord is with Boston and
the rest have passed to the minors.
Of the Giants of 1905, Ames with
Cincinnati; Dahlen manager of Brook
lyn; Devlin is to manage Oakland of
the Pacific Coast league; McGinnity
is managing Seattle in the North
western league; Donlin is now play
ing independent ball. The rest have
passed on as do all players sooner
or later.
There have been changes also since
the 1911 series. McInnis is at first
for the Athletics in place of Davis;
Rube Oldring is the only outfielder
of that time remaining. Schang will
probably do the bulk of the work be-
hind the bat in place of Thomas here
after. Among the Giants, Burns has
taken the place of Josh Devore in
left field. Shafer took Herzog's place
at third for the greater part of the
season, but the latters value in a
worlds series may put him back on
third at any time as fixture.
Don't sing me lullaby, mother,
Don't close the nursery door;
Don't kiss me and rock and coddle me
But, mother, please tell me the
score.
Has Baker swung yet at a wide one
Has he knocked one homer, or
more?
| can't go to sleep now, mother.
Oh, mother, please tell me the
score.
And Joined with the nursery wailing,
This question comes to the fore,
From club and fireside and barnyard
"Will someone please tell me the
score
