M GRAW IN NEED
. Of LEADER; OFF
/. FOR GIANT TEAM
New York Manager Trying Hard
to Get Arthur Shafer to
Return to Club.
Bv Sam Crane.

TOUSTON, TEXAS, April A.
Nothing has been heard by
Manager McGraw of the result
of President Hempstead's trip to
California in the endeavor to induce
Arthur shafeT to return to baseball
and the Giants
Fred Snodgrass, who was Skaters
pal both at college and with the
Giants is of the opinion that the
promising youngster will not play
professional baseball again of his
own volitlon, but that If his father
can be made to look fayorably on his
taking up the game again shafer
might get into harness once more.
One Of the most important reasons
why MeGraw is so anxious to get
Shafer back on his team is that
Shafer is an ideal lead-off man at
bat, and the manager himself saws
that he has not now exactly the right
man to head the batting order.
Shafer Great waiter"
Shafer was the best waiter" at
bat MoGraw ever had. and also had
the most accurate eye for pitched
balls of any man on the team, or in
the country for that matter. He
very rarely ever struck at a poor
ball. With these excellent traits for
the top OF the batting order Shafer
had the speed In going from the plate
to first that few players had.
McGraw was never tired of sound
ing the Native Sons" splendid natu-
raj ability but he also bewailed the
fact that the "Temperamental Title
was not Obliged to play ball for
money. If Shafer had not been so
70 70. h foil eaFs
and had not been so pampered in his
boyhood days there is no doubt at all
that he would have been one OF the
greatest stars of baseball But know
ing and feeling that he was indie
pendent of the game for living he
never could be made to take the in
terest or develop the ambition TO sue
coed as do other players who are not
born with a gold spoon in their
mouths,
Acted lndifferentIy.
ShafeF, when a Giant, frequently
nut damper on his fellow players
when they were "pepperlng up" He
would lallygag along with apparently
the most nauseating display of mdif-
feren& and smother all commenflahle
efforts of the others to start the fire.
| works. one player can do an i'm
mense lot of harm by refusing to
show ginger, and Shafer was surely
one of that lamentable kind.
With Snodgrass on third there is a
world of difference in the liveliness
Of the in.ied, Previous to his bel IL
placed there, there was only one
player who Opened his mouth But
Fred has caused a transformation. He
is continually shouting with the idea
of keeping his fellows minds on the
game, and even Doyle has found his
voice, and instead of saying meelly
and softly Put 'em over, Matty," or
Make 'em hit it, Jeff" he together
with SNOW and Fletcher, is keeping
up a running FIRE of talk that can not
help but hold the boys up on their
toes.

When Baseball Was Dangerous.
Although | am not approaching old
age, however, when l stop to take a
sort of mental birds view |
realize that | am one of the very few
men in the active game who have
seen baseball developed practically
from the cradle. We see 1t to- day, the
great American sport a business en-
terprise requiring an annual operat
profession giving profitable employ
ment to 1000 men. And VT when
donned by first uniform under Ted
Sullivan back in the latter seventies
baseball for the most part was the
diversion of sports rather than Of
sportsmen. Outside Of New York,
Chicago and Cincinnati there were
few clubs in anything like a sound
financial condition, and the average
business man would as soon have
staked his money on a questionable
race horse as on baseball venture.
The average professional ball play
er Of those days, in short, could
scarcely be called an esteemed MEM

itself was regarded with frown OF
disfavor from both a commercial and
social viewpoint. The President Of
the United States at a ball game
would have been nothing short If
scandal, and the ministerial fan OF
to-day would have been promptly dis
missed by shocked congregation.
From the standpoint Of the player
anything like a definite science was
unknown The fine points of in
side baseball" as we know them TO-
DAY. would have been received with
a smile. The game was essentially
one of muscle rather than Of brains.
The pitcL er stood only 40 feet from
home plate and the batter was privi-
legged to call for a high or low ball at
his will, the dividing line being a
point opposite his waist. Under the
rules the pitcher was forbidden TO
throw oVerhanded or free armed, ana
