One of Few Players to
Live Up TO Spring Train
ing Reputation.
BU Alex. SuHipan.

TT Is seldom that a baseball recruit
lives up to his spring training
reputation. Ross Young. the new
right fielder OF the Giants, is the ex-
ception which proves the rule. The
proof Is that no has been delivering
tho goods for the Giants daily since
tho season opened. For instance. in
yesterdays game in Brooklyn he
went to bat six times, making four
hits. one OF them a double.
The most surprising thing that has
happened since Manager McGraw
took hold Of the Giants is tho plac-
ing OF Young at the top Of the bat
ting list, dlslodging such a seasoned
veteran as George Burns, generally
accepted as the most valuable lead-off
man in the country.
II Young has a weakness, Il will
