POunds-Pitched and Lost Two Games
In 1917 Series Burns Throws and
Bats Right handed.
NEW YORK, Oct 3. CWorld Series)
Only two of the New York Giants of
1921 who are eligible to play in the
worlds series have played with the team
in previous post-season inter-major
league championships. These are George
Burns, one of the capable outfielders of
the McGraw organization and II. f.
(Slim) Sallee, pitcher.
George Burns was purchased by the
Giants in 1912 and though he played in
number of games was not seen in the
worlds series. The following year how
ever, when the Giants were defeated in
the pOSt-seaSon classic by the Athletics
Burns played and performed well. In
the 1917 series against the White SOX
he tielded perfectly and his batting av-
eragc was .227.
Utica. New York, is Burnss birthplace.
He was born on November n, 1890. He
played amateur ball for st. townsville,
New York from 1908 to 1907 as third
baseman and catcher. He started pro-
fcssiOnally with the Utica club of the New
\ ork state leagc playing as catcher and
later in the outfeId. from 1908 to 1911.
After joining the Giants in 1912 his
playing became more and more proficient.
He throws and bats right handed.
Harry Sallee was born in HigginspOrt,
O., Feb. :, 1880. He first played profess
SionalIy for the Birmingham (Ala.) club
OF the Southern leage in 1905 and in
1905 came to the New York Americans.
He played with the WilEamsport CPa.D
club of the Tri-State league in 1907 and
was drafted by the St Louis Nation
ais in 1908. He remained with the Car
dinals until 1916 when he was pro-
cured by the Giants He got the name
Slim because of his height and weight.
Slim is six feet three inches in height
and weighs only 100 pounds He is
a left-handed pitcher and bats right
handed.
Sallee had a great year with the Gil
ants in 1917. He won IL games and
lost only seven. lie pitched and lost
two games in the worlds series that
year. In midscaSCn 1918 Sallee decided
to quit the game. During the winter
he was persuaded to play again and was
obtained by the Cincinnati team. He
had another good pitching year. help
ing the Reds win the pennant. He
played in the series against the White
SOX. He came back to the Giants last
year by the waiver route and has
worked hardly at all this season. 1t is.
doubtful if he will pitch in the coming
series.

NEW YORK. Oct ga great deal
of the credit for bringing the New York
Giants successfully through the 1921 pen
nant campaign Is being given to Hughey
Jennings, the graSs-chewing jumping-jack
who won managerial fame as leader of the
Detroit Tigers
In October of 1920 Jennings signed
contract to serve as assistant manager
of the Giants, taking the place made va
cant by Johnny Evers, who had been Sc
lected to manage the Chicago Cubs. The
acquisition of Jennings by the Giants
came as surprise to the fans and it was
generally predicted that he would be one
of the NEST able assistants John McGraw
ever had
McGraw in no wise relinquished his job
as manager but Hughey began at once to
do all che work atield. His "E-yah' and
grass pulling had been seen before at the
Polo Grounds, but with Hughey as a
Giant the fans took him differently. 1t
was "Atta-boy Hughcy' where before it
had been E Aw go on and lay down"
The g0od-natured Jennings soon won
favor with the players and his fighting
spirit helped them to pull through many
tough gaines. Jennings is considered a
great little general and has proved an
able cond-heImsman.
This is Jennings's 18th year as a
leader. He won pennants in the Ameri-
can league with Detroit in 1907. 1908 and
1909. He is not exactly a stranger in
the Natipnal league, having spent several
seasons with teams representing Balti-
more, Brooklyn and philadelphia in the
older CIRCUIT TIc was comrade of Me
Graw's On the famous old Oriole aggre-
CATION. q
Jennings was born at aPittston Pa. in
1870, anff first played professional base
ball wifi the Leighton, Pa, club in 1890.
The folbwing year he signed with the
Louisville; Ky, ,slHbfof the American as
sociationsplaying first base and short. In
1894, hdsWas traded to Baltimore Ma
tionals and four years later was shifted
to the Brooklyn Nationals and two years
later returned to the Baltimore Eastern
league clilb playing second and short and
won the pennant that's year. All of his
Detroit teams We're regarded as pennant
cOntenders.
