Lynchburg, Va. October 4-When Billy
Smith grabbed George Kiroher of Nor

he secured two Of the beet men in the
Virginia league and if both of them do
not prove to be valuable assets to the
man who managed his first team in
Lynchburg, then followers of the game
who know the game and these players
have distinct surprise coming to them.
Kircher was secured by the Norfolk
team by Charley Babb from the now de-
funct Blue Grass league, where he caught
during the season OF 1910. Babb used
Kircher in the outfield generally, call
ing upon him for utility work behind the
bat, where he always shone. Kircher is
not the heaviest hitter of the circuit by
any means, but in the three years he
played In the Virginia league he hit .266,
.267 and .271. While his hitting is always
timely. it does not stand out as does his
base running, for during the past season
he not only easily led the base stealers Of
the, league, with "A thefts, but broke all
records of the Virginia league. In three
seasons with Norfolk he stole 81, 81 and

IGIANTS DEMONSTRAT THAT

EIGHTEEN SAFETIES GARNERED
FROM DELIVERIES OF PHILLIE
HURLERS-DOYLE WILL PLAY
IN WORLDS SERIES

! New York, October 4.-AIaking the most
of their last chance to tune up. for the
worlds series in a regularly scheduled
game, the Giant regulars had a lively
workout against Philadelphia today and
showed again that bat in their hands
just now is dangerous weapon. Seldom
this season have they run up a greater
total, of hits than the Is they made off
Brennan and Marshall this afternoon.
Manager McGraw watched the safe drives
blister the turf with a gleam in his eye
that eyinced his satisfaction at the Prov
ess his men were displaying with the
stick. -Four of the solid raps were ior
extra bases. Fletcher hit for a home
run, double and a single in his five
times up, while Fred Merlxle put the see-
ond circuit drive of the day to his credit
George Burns Joined the hitters for extra
bases with double.
In the field the Giants play was snappy,
only Doyle and Snodgrass showing a
lack of the form that Is expected Of
worlds series contestants. 1t was evident
that Snodgrass' Charley horse" was still
botheting him, as he limped badly during
the short period he was in the game.
Doyle gave evidence of almost complete
recovery from the injuries he received
in his automobile spill of last week, but
still favored his shoulder somewhat in
throwing.
Doyle Will Play
There is practically no doubt now that
Doyle will get into the series, probably
In the first game, although the chances
are that il McGraw sees that his star
second baseman is not vet in prime con-
dition for the opening game on Tuesday
he will put Arthur Shafer on second in
that game and play Herzog at third.
That Doyle will guard the keystone posi-
ton from the start If NfcGraw believes
the strain will not affect his later work,
seems a certainty, for it begins to look
as il Snodgrass would not be able to get
into the SERIES With both Doyle and
Snodgrass out the Giants manager would
face an outfield problem the solution of
which might have an important effect on
the series.
Shafer is the logical man for the place
He played the position for some time
carly in the season and has worked out
there within the last few days. But he
also is the logical man to fill any infield
gap and if McGraw were forced to put
him on second in Doyle's Place she Little
Napoleon would have to depend upon
comparatively inexperienced man, such as
Cooper in the outfield, unless indeed he
took a chance on a further shake mp of
his infield, which is considered unlikely
