VALUE OF SLUGGING
FIELDERS IS SHOWN

The Cincinnati Reds furnish a vivid
example Of the value of slugging out
fielders to a ball club.
Matty has four gardeners on his
payroll-Roush. Neale, Griffith, and
Thorpe-although Thorpe has just be-
gun to show signs of developing into
a slugger, the first-named players
comprise the heaviest hitting outfield
in the National League.
Unless present signs fail. Roush,
Neale, and Griffith will all hit 300 or
better for the season, and allowing
for the great work of Matty's pitch
ers and the spirited offense and de-
fense of the club as a whole. the work
of this outfield trio has been Of won
derful value In raising the Reds from
the ruck and placing them in a posi-
ton where they command the respect
of every club in their league.
With a weak outfield the Reds would
never have accomplished the wonder
full things they have done this season.
The work of the outfield represents
almost 80 per cent of the strength of
the club in the opinion of big league
players, managers and writers.

doubles taking all three of them.
OF the nine matches played, only

Slater defeated Gould Lincoln and
Candor, after it appeared that they
did not have a chance of winning.
Each took a set and the Dunbar

them the first four games of the

pair finally stopped the stampede
and then to the surprise of every

NEW YORK Club MUST
Win NATIONAL flag
Only Way Club Can Realize Benefit
of 100000 Output for Players.

New York. Aug. 4-The Giants must
win the National League pennant this
year IL the New York club is to real
| ize benefits from player investments
totaling more than 10000. Also, the
judgment of John McGraw in the mat
ter of player values depends largely
on the outcome of the pennant race.
When McGraw started to rebuild the
Giants in the winter of 1915-16, Presi-
dent Hampstead told him to go the
limit to get the players he wanted.
And McGraw went the limit. As a
result President Hampstead author
lied the spending of something over
$4,000 for new playing talent, and
McGraw picked out the players who
caught his eye and set about making
deals for them. In dealing on the
player market McGraw pulled several
David Harums. He traded players
who had long been rated stars Of the
Giants and got the better of nearly
every trade. In purchasing players
particularly from the Federals-he
had to dig down deep, and this is
where the big end of the money went.
Kauff, Anderson, Roush, Rariden and
McKechnie were the Federal League
stars purchased by the New York. club
and cost the Giants about $4,000 in
| hard coin, for the Feds weren't In the
market to trade or take first mort
gages-they wanted cold cash and they
got it.
In addition to the purchase Of these
players 1t must be figured that the
Giants paid $4,000 for Slim Sallee and
nearly $4,000 for Herzog, in complet-
ing the deal which sent Rousch, Math-
/ ewson and McKechnie to Cincinnati
The Zimmerman deal, in which Larry
Doyle figured as the chief trade value,
also cost the Giants some cold cola,
and Lew McCarty did not get into
a Giant uniform until Charley Ebbets
had received cash and Fred Merkie for
