such doings make the doers out

OF the perpetrators of this class of
outrages are considered here. A
thief is thief, murderer is a

guilty of arson is a fre-bug, no

Former Giant Regarded as
Chief Factor in offence Of
Cincinnati Team
By Ray Mccarthy

John McGraw did more than give
Pat Moran to Cincinnati. The Giants
manager also sent Eddie Roush, the
Reds star batter and outfclder. to the
Ohio club. That happened in 1916.
Roush was battling for Job in the
local outfeld. but Benny KauF got the
call and Roush got the gate. Once be-
tore Eddie had been up and was found
lacking.
In 1913 he had brief trial with the
Chicago White Sox, when Jimmy Gala
han was managing the Chicagoans, and
was let out to the Lincoln team. In
1917, playing regularly with the Reds,
Roush ba'ted at q 341 clip and imlne-
dlately jumped into prominence. At
present he is ranked as one of the best
outfielders in the National League.
lie has been a big factor in the sue
cess of the Reds this season. He leads
his team and league in hitting and is
a tower of strength on the defence. He
has broken up many ball games tins
summer when they appeared lost. lie
IS dangerous man at all times with
the bat. His fielding has blocked op-
ponents on many occasions and he can
throw with the best
Roush has also developed into a
heady player under Pat Moran and has
shown TO good advantage in baserun-
nlng. He has shown. too. that he is
capable under fire He, it appears. is
the man the White Sox must sop, and
in so doing they will get over.
