 Twelve Years a Giant.
 Doyle has served nearly twelve
 ears for the Giants. In all that time has been a star and was one of |Sale reasons why McGraw won four Remnants during that period. In #bite of his long service in the league Ne still is a younger man than Zim- Mh herman, who came to the Cubs in
 bOS. # The addition of Doyle to the Cubs |
 lould add great strength to the team, 1 Because he is as aggressive as any l @ ayer in the game and will fill up one l
 @ the weaker spots on the Cub in 1 s#eld. Also he is player who seldom 1 ZZSBas serious trouble with the umpires 1 ..#shd never has any trouble with the 8 anager or the other players on the ! @am. He can be relied upon to give Bhe club the best he has whenever he ga in the game.
 E Doyle was born in Caseyville, H., zNventy-four years ago of Irish parents. Z is boyhood days were spent around g #aseyyille and his present home Of s&reese.
 # When 16 years old Doyle went to M aducah, Ky, as professional in Fielder. Larry's rise was rapid and the Following year he was sent to Spring. @ cid in the Three I league. Dick
 kinsella was manager of the club at Mhat time and the work of young Boyle impressed him so that he noti- @ ed McGraw that he had a great find For him. McGraw having great re- @pect for Kinsella's judgment imme- @iately sent for Larry and he joined #he Giants the latter part of 1907. M At the start Laughing Larrys work NFas very bad, but McGraw stuck %o him on account of his hitting and Nh 1908 he came to the front with u @ush. The Giants have always claimed Mhat it was the injury to Doyle in 1908 < hat put the Giants out of the cham 8ionship. Doyle is not only a good Hlitter, but he is one of the fastest @nen in the league, being one of the Eve best base runners.
 A year ago last fall Doyle under went an operation for a growth under Nh arm, that has slowed up the Giant BnfeIder to a marked degree. Last #eason it was reported that Doyle and @McGraw had had several heated ar Aguments and that when fined, Doyle S1ad requested his release. Fine Trade for Cubs. # ,+o1 sehange from the Cubs and has been An continual trouble with umpires and 8with officials of the Chicago club. He shas been at odds with Joe Tinker all sseason and the leader of the Cubs 8was determined to get rid of Heinie. Tinker regards the trade as a great 2 Rone for the Cubs, as Doyle is still #good player, Hunter is said to have Band Jacobson is proving one of the 8great outfelders of the International #Ieague. Jacobson was farmed out to 5 Rochester by the Giants and was ac- @quired from BrocktOn of the Colonial @Ieague late last season.
 Hunter came to the Giants from @Lnsly Institute of Wheeling, w. Va #He got trial in the New England @league several years ago. Able judges #of ball players pronounce Hunter a looming star.
 Despite the evident advantage in 8Chicago's favor in the trade, McGraw was willing to make sacrifices, as he < Is bent on reconstructing his team. He s Is going to make further changes be- fore long.
