~ ASuI necessary 70 r0p0at the
story Of o'Connell, who IL 4 mighty
fine. outstanding chap. and in many
respects the. victim OF circum-
stances. In the winter Of 1e22.l923
he was the most talked Of minor
Lacquer in the country. The two
New York clubs bid for his services
in the winter Of 1S21-1s22. ana be-
fore he was knocked of to the
Giants his San Francisco price had
been driven up to $76, 900 for 1928
delivery. That was about half Of
what the Yanks paid for Ruth,
q ready-n1Ade star and marvellous
drawing card, who already had
cracked the home run record before
he came to New York.
That price tag was O'COnn6II's
handicap. The eyes Of the base
ball world were upon him from
the moment that he first reported
to the Giants In San Antonio, In
the early spring Of 1872. Before
he ever had seen q big league
park McGraw told him that he
was the regular Giant center
fielder.
o'Connell looked the part OF the
baseball star. Built something on
the order Of Ty Cobb, he made q
splendid appearance in uniform.
O'COnneu showed occasional flashes
Of real ability, but he disappointed
in the field and at bat. Before the
1923 seeson was half over McGraw
found Il necessary to return the
veteran, Casey" Stengel. to center
field.
Last winter McGraw gave MP one
Of baseball's foremost shortstops,
Dave Bancroft, for Billy South
worth. so that he would have q
real center fielder" O'Connell had
not delivered.
There was q stocky. piano.legged
kid at the Sarasota camp OF the
Giants last March who got little
more TINA a tumble. He leaned on
ball hard, and 1t Is true he had
led the Virginia League at bat, but
that was a weak class B circuit.
