Where Will -Groh Play?

Where will Henie Groh, star third sacker of the Cincinnati Reds, play next year?
 Groh has already answered the ques- ton as far as Cincinnati is concern ed When Judge Landis ordered Groh to report to Cincinnati and finish the season of 1921, Groh said he would finish, but never start another.
 It is stated on good authority that he would have been a member of the Giants, last year, had not Judge Lan- dis said he must play in Cincinnati or nowhere. McGraw was ready to take him over. In fact McGraw's readiness to meet Groh's demands is said to be one reason why he held out so long on reporting to Cincinnati.
 Now that McGraw is the manager of the world champions, he says Groh is not needed That sounds like the bunk. He will probably be with the Giants next year
 On the other hand, it's is said that Pittsburg is anxious to secure the crack third sacker and that Barney is ready to offer some of his stars. who are in bad favor in the Smoky City, for Groh.

Barnes Surprised Moeraw

Manager McGraw of the New York Giants certainly has the courage of his convictions. Since the close of the series some critics have banned him for his judgment iii twice start ing Fred Toney, instead of Barnes. who was the hero of the series. This from McGraw should silence them: T pitched Toney because he had per- formed consistently throughout the season and made possible the win ming of the pennant. Barnes was a bust the greater part of the year. His work was bigger surprise to me than any one else. Of course was delight ed. Even after the first game, I lack ed the courage to start him.
