How Liberals Attempt

There is lot Of life around
he Giants camp this year and
ne of the iveliest is Brooklynite
ordon. Sid is a certainty to be
National League regular. Right
low it is question of third
oase or the outfield, but the
latives are sure it will be third
base-and that Sid will be one
bf the best ever to grace the
hot corner at the Polo Grounds.
Started In 1883
Sid has been pounding on the
big time door now for couple
of years. Since he started play
ing professional baseball in 1888,
he has had better than 800
clouting average every year but
one. His only baseball habit
seems to be leading his league.
1t was back in January, 1888,
when the Giants first heard
about Sid. George Back, then a
local scout, persuaded Gordon
to visit the Giants offices.
George had been determined to
sign Sid ever since the day he
banged cut two homers and bat
ted in seven runs with two wal
lops in the Eastern Shore
league.
The Giants couldn't offer a
contract to Sid but they sold him
the idea of paying his own ex-
penses for a tryout at Milford,
Del. A week after Sid set foot
on the Milford field, Giant scouts
were breaking their necks to
sign him.
Sid played every game that
year-1l2 of them--and he was
league batting king with 1882.
He led the circuit in total hits,
total bases and triples while
slamming out Is homers. Pro-
NOTED to Clinton for 1899, Cor

Eye loop in triples with "a.
Moving to Jersey City in 1910,
he led his league for the third
year, this time in starting double
plays. Last year, swatting the
pill for an even 300 and leading
with IS runs batted in, Sid was
hauled in from Jersey City by
Manager OFT for a September
whirl at third base.
OFT Is Optimistic
OFT hasn't decided where he'll
play Sid this year, but whether
it is third or the outfield, Mel
is sure he will come up with a
300 or better average.
The Giants manager is not
guessing about his probable line
up yet, but probably in the in
