Second sFordham Flash Siened
To Play Ball With Athletics
Henry Scheer, of Bronx,
Newcomer ON Connie

second Frisch?
Henry Scheer, of 1454 wilkins Ave
nue., who is expected to look the part
en- the baseball diamond, must resemble
the Fordham Flash in more than that
ne IS an lntieldcr and comes from the
Bronx. He must have shown a lot OF
"Frisch" in action to Connie Mack. who
gave one look and paid $4,000 for what
he saw. The Athletics leader expects
considerable in the ball-playing line
for that amount OF money.
And Scheer is only twenty-one years
OF age and has played ball profess
sionaily but one year. Within two
months after he reported to Hartford,
OF the Eastern Association, which was
this spring. the Detroit Tigers tried TO
fasten string on him. ALSO the
Yanks almost got him although they
don't know about this, neither does
Scheer. Then along came Mack on
the advice of his scouts.
Gene McCann, former CINCINNATI
Reds scout and present manager Of
the Bridgeport club, said the other day
that Scheer is sure to stick in the big
show. Mccann liked the Bronx boy 50
well the first day he played against
Bridgeport he tried to buy him from
Hartford. at would have been a fine
bargain" says Gene. "I am sure
could have persuaded the Yanks to
take the boy and l would have had his
services for q year on what could have
been made on his purchase price.
Picked Up Last Fall
But getting away from this sordid
business stuff and back to Henry
Scbeer. He first attracted attention
while playing with Public School AZ,
the Bronx. and as an amateur with the
fremont Triangles. His first big semi
pro engagement was with the Bronx
Giants
Strange to say, Sclieer is not 500
batter; hit only about 2T5 last year.
Of course he is fast, though his base
running record may not Indicate excep-
tonal speed. He does, however, play
ball with his head. Apparently gray
matter in a professional ball player is
something 10 make fuss over
Anyway Connie Mack dropped into
Hartford one day last summer osten-
sibly TO look over an outfelder. But he
was watching a kid second-sacker, and
this was one of the plays that made
Connie sit up and take notice.

Passing of George Burns Will
Be Regretted by Local Fans
Followers of Giants VIII
Miss Popular Center
Fielder Next Season

To the baseball fan in general the
acquisition OF Heinie Groh is doubtless
the paramount news in connection with
the important trade between the New
York and Cincinnati clubs. BY this
deal John McGraw is enabled to shift
Frisch back to second base-to give the
Giants, in Bancroft and Frisch. one OF
the greatest of keystone combinations
and, with Groh at the far corner and
Kelly en- first, the most powerful in
ner defense presented by any big
league club.
But to the true Giant fan, who re-
GREETED the departure Of Artie Fletcher
and Larry Doyle, the gain TO the club
is easily lost sight of in the passing
Of the last of the old guard, George
Burns.
There was nothing temperamental
about modest George Burns; nothing
that would attract your attention other
than exceptional ability such as made
many OF his most difficult efforts seem
easy. He was noted for dependability
in the crisis of play that made the
observant fan prefer 20 see the Utica
boy called on in the pinch above any
other player, and restraint in the
stress Of diamond battle, though al
ways giving his best. He was never a
glory seeker, yet aIwa played the
game so clean and fair that he was
beloved and admired by every player
ever associated with him as teamlna te
or opponent.
And withal he WAS grand ball
player. He was one of the surest lead
off men among major leaguers. He
always batted close 10 or above the 800
mark, always ranked among the high
est as base stealer (in four of his
ten seasons with New York he stole
forty sacksl, and each year was one
Of the leaders in runs scored and runs
driven in.
Gonzales Obtained from Cards
OF Nike Gonzales there is little
20 say other than that he was a
catcher OF such quality McGraw sought
him in trade with the Cardinals in 1919.
However, with Frank Snyder, Earl
Smith and young Aleck CASTOR in the
receiving departm there was little
chance for the CubSn to show his stuff.
incidentally, Gonzales, though it is
not generally known. was born in the

Purchase of Croh
Recalls Other BIG
Deals i'm Baseball
Only "a Few Years Ago
When Sill. 900 for Mar
guard Was Record Figure

From the days when King Kelly was
a $4,000 beauty is far cry, if the
noise is on record prices for baseball
stars. But going back only q little
over q dozen years ago from the pur-
chase Of Rube Marquardt, the then
$1,000 lemon, to Heinie Groh, the
$150,000 question mark, that is con-
siderable long distance articulation
where money is making baseball con-
versation.
It was in 1908 that John McGraw
paid the then record price OF eleven
thousand simoleons for the wry-necked
southpaw, and the fans made wry faces
over Rube's disastrous debut. And
this stood as the high cost OF ball
players till four years later, when Bar
ney Dreyfuss startled fandom and
shocked his pockstbook to the extent
of $22,50o or Marty O'Toole, who like
Marquard was also an American Asso-
citation purchase.
In 1915 the $4,000 figure was reached
when Comiskey parted with that
amount and Connie Mack surrendered
Eddie Collins. This price was $4,000
more than was paid for Frank Baker
and also for Benny Kauff, the follow
ing year. 1t only equaled the bargain
rates on iris Speaker and Grover
Alexander, who in 1915 and 1918
brought $4,000 respectively.
Carl Mays, in 1919, raised the ante
and the ire Of Ban johnson when he
as disposed Of by the Red Sox for
$4,000. But IN 1890, when Babe Ruth
cost the yanks S137,500 in cash and
players, though cheap at the price.
it seemed hasty gold had been sub
stituted for quick silver in the play
er's price thermometer and that fever
heat in expenditure had been regis
tered.
Yes. it is far cry from the old days,
and il King Kelly and Ed Delehanty
and Buck Ewing and some of those
other great ball players years ago
were here TO peruse about the figures
quoted On Heinie Groh they'd read

for minor Lacquer goes TO the $75 900

these figures weren't really calcu-

Captain Killinger Calls
Toss Right Just Once

STATE COLLEGE, Pa, Dec. To-
Back in 1919, when Fighting Bob Hig-
gins was captain of the Penn State
football team, the Nittany Lions had a
great season. One OF the factors in
the success was supposed TO be the un-
canny Judgment Of Higgins in success
fully calling the toss Of the coin in
every game played.
However, just az unique a record was
made this fall when Acting Captain
Killinger failed to guess the toss prop
eriy in every game but one-that with
the Navy. And Penn State was unde-
feated this year, so it doesn't seem to
make mucuh digerence to those Nittany
Lions.
