The work of George Tyler of the Braves entitles him to be classed as one of the best left handed pitchers in the big league this year. Lefty had a lot of trouble in the early part of the season, and at that time some of the Boston' fans thought he wigs about through. He has surprised these crit- cs. Hughey Jennings says that it is a SACHEMS ARRANGE GAME -WITH FAST WHITE ROCKS The Leaders in the Manufacturers League Will Try to Show the Falls Team Something Sunday. The Sachems were unable to_ ar- range a game with any of the Will mantic teams Sunday because of the fact that. both-teams had games for that date, but they will get together on the first date possible. The Sachems consider themselves lucky that they were able to book the fast White Rock team for Sunday, who are at present leading the Manufacturers’ league, and who are most likely to cop the fine silver cup which is the prize that is at stake in that league. Manager McCarthy says that the Sachems are due for a good trimming, as_the Sa- chems defeated the visitors in a fast game on their first appearance who now are sure to bring along the best to be had around Westerly way. But that is what the Sachems want— nothing but the best. The Sachems bave given up hope of trimming the Hospital team, as they have tried to arrange a game or series of games with them, but they are unable to come to tearms with the management of the play®rs from down the river.

John McGraw Landed a Prize When He Got George Burns for $4,000. “He does evervthing so easily and quietly that it will be some time be- fore the fans realize that they have one of the greatest young players in the world in their midst,” said “Char- lie” Carr, manager of the Utica team of the New York State League, when he sold George Burns to the Giants | for $4,000 late in the season of 1911. The prophetic part of the veteran first baseman and manager's eulogy has been fulfilled and whether the Giants establish a new record in baseball by winning a fourth straight pennant, Burns' part in the spectaculay fight of 1914 will not be forgotten. The newest batch of averages show the twenty-three-year-old outfielder to be leading the league in stolen bases with forty-one pilfers in 104 games. Burns is tied with a team mate, “Bob” Bescher, and “Jake” Daubert, of the Dodgers, for run making honors. Burns, up to Thursday, had crossed the home plate seventy times. “Silent George” leads the Giant regulars in batting, with an average of .313, “Ed- die” Grant, who has been in only forty- three games, being the only player surpassing his swatting efforts in be- half of the Giants so far as averazes are considered. With 121 hits Burns tops all other batsmen in the National League in the number of safe slams. He has made seven doubles, nine tri ples._ and a homer, rating fifth among the National League sluggers. The Braves.have two strong cand- idates for the automobile given to the player declared to have been.of most valué to- his club- during the_league race, but neither “Johnny” Evers nor Walter Maranville has been as potent a factor in the Braves' success as Burns for his club. ‘Three pitchers, “Dick” Rudolph, “Bill’ James and “Lefty” Tyler, might also be taken into consideration in the Boston club's advance, but none has done as much for a National League team as Burns for the drooping Giants this season: Burns is a cigarmaker by trade, but he was so active as a ball plaver that he showeq most of his speed on the diamond in his home _town of St Johnsonyille. He played with townd teams as catcher, but when he got his engagcment with Utica his fleetness was utilized in fly chasing. Occasion- ally Burns tried inflelding, but on the advice of “Charlie” Carr he special- ized as an outfielder. His advance was so rapid that when John Mc- Mahoon an old Oriole pitcher and team mate of John McGraw, who was scout- ing for the Giants, first saw the young- ster in action he was so startled by the display that he thought it must be an accidental show -of .all around ability. The scout followed Burns for two weeks without being Trecognized by the young player or his manager and Burns looked better ‘every -day. John McGraw realized that a prize had come to him and following sys- tem closely he did mot put Burns into a regular's berth until George had ab- sorbed heaps of hig league baseball as a watcher from the bench and an oc- casional _filler-1p : during 1912. Last season Burns displayed regularly in the sun field and he was advancing all the time. ng. unable to bat solidly during the werld series did not upset the youngster. He showed rare JOEL HILLMAN ‘proprietor “Harvey’s"” Washington, D.C. “Tuxedo is a good, wholesome tobacco, with a mildness and fra- grance all its own. It adds many degrees {o my pipe pleasure.” qualities of gameness during the Octo- ber classic and last spring was ready to take up work in the McGraw school at precisely the same point where he left off in 1913. To-day Burns is a finished ball play- er, with one of the most brilllant careers _a youngster ever faced . just before. him. He is a silent star and the smoothness of his defensive skill covers up miny plays that would be rated “features” If directed by an out- filder of anything but positive perfec- tion in timing a fi¢ ball. Burns has a wonderful pair of hands and a throwing arm of such power that Na- tional League batsmen have long since learnell to run the bases gingerly on hits into the left section when Burns is “out_there. A colony in the left field bleaciters is now known as “Burnsville.” Rooters cnce gathered there ta pay homage to “Eddie” Burke, and “Burkeville” be- came famous in fandom because Burke encouraged the general idea. Without an_appealing speech or gesture Burns sradually wins admirers and the si- lent system he has established is slow but certain in bringing recognition to the “one Giant who stands out” by playing championship ball at all times. SPORTING TIPS, There is much talk about the sale of Moran to the Braves, and many believe that a special effort is being made this year to beat the Giants out of the pennant. it STEEAS The Boston ves are all young ball players. e average age of the team is a little ‘over 25 vears. Mitchell, who is 35. Is the oldest, and Strand, 20, is the youngest. Bill Carrigan, the Red Sox manager, predicts that the -Athletics ‘will win the pennant. He aleo may be ‘induced to venture the opinion that Christmas this year will fall on Friday, Decem- ber 25.

There is some likelihood of the resumption of crud rubber ship- ping after that time. Then, too, the crude rubber crop of South America mey be available, although not in very great quantity.
