Had vyou noticed,"’ he asked, “how serious most of the players have become?" ‘That sounded rather reflective for the old rollicking Roger. “Yes,"" he went on; “everybody -is too serious. ‘That is why we don't have many of those spectacular clubs nowadays like the old Giants of 1905, the old Cubs of 1908, the old Orioles ‘and son on. ‘The stars seem to’ go about their work ‘as if they were working out a banking problem. As y are not so picturesque Evers, who dropped in just @s Bresnahan and McGraw had begun . agreed with the idea. “Sure,” he said. ‘There are just as good players, but as a club they don't have the old spirit of practical them togeth and public look upon them as a unit." McGraw has often pointed to the fact that George Burns would have been the mosc talked of player in the game if he had been a little more noisy. He added that many a player of less ability has become famous through a disposition toward. fuy- making. “Don't you have ny of the old used to pull on T asked. he said. ‘‘Ball- players of to-day are getting strictly business-like. I guess it must bo the effect. of the war that has made everybody so serious.” “You remember the tme,'’ laughed Kresnahan, “that Mike Donlin and I caused all the trouble by putting the recruit on guard on the train?" verybody remembered it, of course, And it ilustrated the point. On that trip the Giants were en route to ‘Texas. A young busher fommed the troupe at St. Louis. He ‘was very green, but ambitious: to be taken in as one of the gang. The players on the sleeper. went through a mock drawing of slips -to see who would be ‘‘watchman for the night." Of course, the recruit drew the slip. He was told to stand in the Vestibwe with a red lantern and par- Ucularly to keep his eye on the bag- pase while the regulars were slcep- ‘Ie, you see a stranger came, in’ Bresnahan told him, “pull thas Taxer you see there.” Roger's exe had the air brake system. 4: ys0<° Tho busher took it gll_Very,.serte| ously, Toward 1 o'clock the " Ing. a. trainman Jn ely Aa i came through.
