And he turned trumps, ‘This boy from the American Associa- tion has been denting the fences up there at the Polo Grounds with such regularity that he is one of the lead- ing wallopers in every batting broad- side fired by the Champs. Moreover, he has covered the outfield like the dew and has been running the bases lke a reindeer, The Yanks felt a great shadow com- ing over them when the Judge put Babe Ruth and Bob Meuse! in the stands in store pants and told them to sit there. What could be done about it? Huggins couldn't afford to go out and buy a star until the Bam- bino or Meusel got back—just for six weeks, ‘Then Lady Luck bounced over and flopped on Miller's knee. Who should she bring with her but McMillan, the self-starting, reversible outfielder or inflelder—use his as suits the taste. It suited Huggins to try this boy in the Bambino's place. Very promptly he started busting the old pill with just @ much abandon as did the Babe himself. Babe may have got them further, but he got them no oftener, Then to add to the good fortune MeMillan pulled down one long drive in Washington that saved a game and showed himself a fielding wonder, On the bases he ts a peach. Fans who have seen this boy work are begin- ning to wonder whether Huggins can bench him with impunity even when the two members of Murderers’ Row return. There you are. Local clubs have picked up five budding stars already and the benches are still crowded with recruits waiting for a chance to knock Unele Robbie that he is ready, and Robbie may intrust the game to his famous ace. Grimes has been work- ing out very cautiously and has done no real pitching except in part of one exhibition game against the Yankees. A nerve complex in his sal- ary wing has delayed Grimes's ap- pearance in the National League up to now and he says he is not sure the complex has disappeared, but is willing to take a chance. The Dodgers will be without the services of Tom Griffith in right dur- ing the series. He pulled a tendon when he beat out a bunt in the sev- enth inning against the Phillies in Brooklyn on Sunday, and had to let Neis finish for him, The leg be- came sore that night and is still sore, Bobbie ordered him to take a rest. Bernie Neis will play right, batting left-handed against right-handers, and turning around when southpaws are on the hill. After Neis went in for Griffith on Sunday he made a hit that drove in two runs Hank Deberry’s thumb was hurt painfully when it was split by a foul tip from Cliff Lee, the Phillies’ right- fielder, in the first inning last Sun- day afternoon and he may be on the bench for ten days. Zack Taylor hay been nominated for the vacancy be- hind the bat, but Robbie is thinking of Barney Hungling as an alternate to Taylor. Ivan Olson saved his job at second base for a while when he made a single and a double against the Phillles on Sunday, but if he does not hit better than he flashed in the games with the Giants he will be lifted and Harold Janvrin will be sent to second. Olson has been improv- ing in his fielding in the last couple of games, and that has counted in the owners Is that but one of these new heroes is a high priced fellow McGraw is reported to have paid around $40,000 in money and cast off players for Shinners. The others all have come cheap—have been picked up out of the heap. McMillan, De Berry, High and Vance altogether did not cost as much as some individual player in the past who turned out a bust. McMillan originally belonged to the Yanks, but was sent to Rochester for another year of seasoning, He cer- tainly got it. Andy High was a clean pickup. The chances are he didn't cost Ebbets one-fourth of what Marty O'Toole, the pitching bust of history, cost Bar- ney Dreyf Pittsburgh paid $ 00 for O'Toole. High simply came up in the net when the Robin scouts dragged the bushes. ZBYSZKO PUT RENTROP —|PADDON DEFEATS HADFIELD] jars or tne american tage.
