/ Many strange things happen in ba G

fighting side by side to help Fred

doesn't seem quite in order, but there
they are. and 1t won't be surprising
to see them fill the bill
On first thought it does not appear
that Doyle and Merkle will be wor ID

iraw let them both go? And doesn'.
McGraw generally hold onto a player
until he has outlived his usefulness
But there is another angle in which
Cub fans find lot of consolation. 1t
is the circumstances which brought
lhout the release OF both players by
New York.
Wien Doyle went to the Cubs in
the trade for Heine Zimmerman. Nc
Graw already had lines laid to secure
Charley Herzcg from Cincinnati in Il

set to fill Doyles shoes, and Doyle
was the bait that landed Heine Zim.
norman for the Giants. Had McGraw
been unable 10 fill Doyle's shoes he
would have lost Zimmerman. He
needed Zimmerman. and needed him
badly. for Lobert was slipping fast
and Ackechnic was not quite heavy

Then came the deal that sent Mer

@aity to the Giants. And all the while
McGlaw had card to play IN young
