valuable men on the Seattle pay
roll. He isn't the player no once

still step in and play pretty fair

Never famous hitter, Cut

the pinches and he showed Seat
tie fans plenty when he stepped
up to the log with men OF bases
In the few games that he played
In last summer.
The ball players with tho club
now who used to see cutshaw in
action in the National league say
that the veteran was one OF the
best curve ball hitters In tho game.
One explanation OF Cutshaw's
value to the club In that no Is all

and makes the most OF what ability
he has. Baseball Ia a serious bust.
