of the team. This being the case, Man
ager Cravath had the right dope in

even though the cold figures gave the
Giants the edge in the trade.
Fletcher ought to be as valuable
man for the pills as he was for John
McGraw for many a long year Fletcher
gave McGraw the better part of his
baseball life and Giant fans will watch
him in his new berth.
Fletcher's main attribute Is his game
ness. He can be counted on day IN and
day out despite the fact that he may
be nursing minor injuries or bodily ills
Fletcher broke into regular infield
berth with the Giants July 5, 1911

Eighteen days later Charley Herzog
came to the club to play third and
Fletcher went to short. He played
that station day in and day out until
