ing their first appearance at Burns
home field this season.
Az the most casual follower OF

sent to the Reds last winter In Q

the Giants. and gave the Clan Nc
Graw the greatest infield in the
game today, and one Of the great.
est. II not actually the greatest, OF
all time.
There has been many a senti-
mental line in the public prints Of
this town about Burns this year.
He's missed. The fans, everybody,
were sorry to see him depart to
wear another uniform.
The fact that he IL playing a
splendid game for Pat Moran in
center field. while Eddie Roush re-
mains an obstinate holdout down
on the farm, In nothing unexpected
Manager McGraw declared in part
ing with him that Burns had many
years Of big league ball In him.
McGraw. however, wanted a
crack infield. He wanted to put o
man at third, as he has in Gfoh,
who ould figure along flashily
with Kkliy at first, Frisch at Sec
ond, end Bancroft at short. So,
though he must have thought 1t
over q long time. he let Burns 30.
We have no statistics available
to show just how many games have
which the presence Of Burns would
have averted, but we know they to-
tai up quite q few.
They don't come any sursr than

balls, and as lead-of man, as q hit.
ter, as a base stealsr. and as an
all-around smart" player Burns
rates high UP with the best.
On top of all these fine playing
qualifications which he demonstrat-
ed day In and day out for years
with the Giants, Burns personality
won him . great host Of admirers.
Silent George" az he is known,
went along -unassumingly, playing
the game in the truest sense. One
never heard q squawk from Burns
of the ribald kind. AZ times when
he thought an. umpire off on his
eyesteht or something. he would
give quite Q reproachful look.
It's probable that umpires felt
this silent regard Of Burns much
moro deeply than the customary

ers. We were struck at this mo-
ment with q desire to see what
Burns did today over In Brooklyn.
We found that he got three hits,
one . triple. In five times at batl
scored Q run; snuGsied four ny
balls, and stole q sack. That's
pretty good,
It's q good bet that II he should
be primarily instrumental In beat
