ERASMUS HALL BOY TO
TWIRL FOR HARTFORD
Waite Hoyt Sent to Eastern
League by John MGraW.

Waite Hoyt, recently a student at
Erasmus Hall High School. OF Brook
Ign, left yesterday for Hartford, TO
twirl for the Hartford team In the
Eastern League.
The young schoolboy is the property
of the New York Giants, but John
McGraw wants him to get a taste Of
actual fire on the mound. He was at
first sent to Arthur Devlin, the former
Giant third basemsn, who was manag-
ing the Mount Carmel team In the new
ly formed Pennsylvania State League,
but the latter organization had a short
life, suspending activities several
weeks ago.
While with the Carmel nine Hoyt
performed brilliantly, his most note
worthy effort being an inning
game, when he outpitched his more
aged rival.
In the Eastern League Hoyt will get
q chance to show his real ability, as
the New England teams are formidable
In heavy hitting batsmen. II the youth
complies good record 1t is probable
that McGraw will take him In hand al
the END of the present season.

Twelve More Home Games
for McGraW's Men
Great Infield Work.
By GRANTLAND RICE.

II this recent June tidal wave hasn't
washed away the Polo Grounds hoodoo
the Giants intend to struggle along
and sell their lives as dearly as posi-
BILE until they hit the road again in
July.
This Is now the ninth day of June,
the Giants are in second place, and yet
the home-bred fanatic hasn't been able
to look at even three victories. II
this isn't a record there never was one
and never will be again.
There has been one feature Of the
Giant play this season that has been
overlooked by a good many. We refer
here TO the great work of McGraw's
veteran intield-Merkle, Doyle, Fletcher
and McKechnie. The first three named
are regulars. and last season there was
tip out that all three were slipping.
Merkle and Doyle have been on the job
eight years. while Art Fletcher is serv-
ing his sixth term as regular. But
in place of slipping this trio has been
skipping along at an abnormally. fast
clip. not only batting well. but fielding
brilliantly. Doyle is having one of his
star years at bat, while the intield play
of Fletcher and Merkle has been the
steadiest either has ever shown.
The Giants still have twelve games
at home before they leave for week

one with the Pirates, four with the
Cubs, three with the Cardinals, and
four with the Braves. Before this
twelve game span is concluded McGraw

TONE SCHOOL TEAM
ENDS GOOD SEASON

The Tome School baseball nine, un-
der the direction of Coach Bing Tay-
lor, has Just finished one Of the most
successful seasons in its history, win
ming eleven victories and defeating its
old rival, the Hill School, by a score
of 10 I, in the big home game on
Alumni Day. This makes the third con-
secutivs year that Tome has defeated
the speedy Pottstown balltossers.
The Toms nine also established a
new schoo! record by winning every
home game played this season. No
prep school has defeated Tome in base
bali on the home grounds during the
past two years, the Blue and White
nine having lost only two games, one TO
the University OF Pennsylvania fresh
men and the other to the Princeton
alumni freshmen. Tome has won %
games in that time.
