ganized football by ahillation with any
of the subsidiary associations of the

The league probably would be follow

GIANTS MAY GET
ROGERS HORNSBY
Rumor Deal With Cards
Will Be Closed Within
Few Days
SECOND BASE FOR ZIM

New York, March 1O.-Rumor is
strong in baseball circles here today to
the effect that John j. McCiraw will get
Rogers Hornsby from the st. Louis
Cardinals within the next few days. 1t
is stated that Larry Doyle, Dave Rob
ertson and a lot of cash will be given
to Branch hickey If Hornsby comes to
this city.
According to the dope. the Giants
infield this summer will be composed of
Hal Chase, first base Heine thinner
man, second base Art Fletcher short
stop, and Rogers Hornsby, third base.
Charles Stonehan, who now is in the
far West on business, stopped off In st.
Louis en- routs and virtually settled
the deal whereby Hornsby will report
here. The actual signing of papers,
however. is TO be done some time this
week, when Hickey will arrive here.
The shifting of Zimmerman to second
will surely suit the Bronx fence-buster.
Heinie has been clamoring to get away
from third base for some time, and
probably feels that the shift to the key
stone sack will do him a lot of good.
Hornsby does not play a ball any
too cleanly. He has a bad habit of
fumbling momentarily. but is exceed
ingly fast in recovering. He has a
great arm and his ability to whip the
ball across to first with lightning speed
offsets this one fault. With the shorter
throw from third he naturally would
have more opportunity to retire the
batter.
An infleld of Chase, zimmerman,
Fletcher and Hornsby undoubtedly
would be the greatest defensive quartet
since the days of Tenney, Lowe, Long
and Collins And what a swatting
bunch It would be, too. Just take what
these lads swatted last year--Chase,
.3O1 Zimmerman, .272; Fletcher, .26S
Hornsby, .2s1.
