he did. Pat Moran's club might be safely embedded in second or third place
by now. There is no doubt about it. Eddie is one grand ball player and flanked
as he is with Duncan on his left and Georgie Burns on his right. he makes the
Cincinnati outfield the cream in the league. Not even the combination at
Mausel. Stengel and Young or Bigbee. Carey and Russel can compare. in m)
opinion, with Rousch and his cohorts for all-around ability.

John McGraw. time and time again. has been accused of buying the pen-
nant. and when he purchased Heinie Groh from the Reds and Hugh McQuil-
lam from the Boston Braves. he was criticised unmercil’ully. Yet neither Gmh
nor McQuillan has strengthened John- McGraw‘s ball team. If anything. the
Giant leader weakened his forces when he traded George Burns for Groh.
George has had one of his best years with Cincinndti. fielding and hitting the
