The Giants infield looked great
to me. Merkle covers an unlimited
amount of territory. J did not like
the way he looked at the plate,
however. Ragon, who pitched for
Brooklyn, fooled him easily on a
ninkv low curve ball. But Merkle
su-e can lambast the fast ones in
close.
Doyle is every bit as good second
b,i«»man as 1 had heard. I look for
him to be one of the sensations of
he series. That boy has no weak
ness with the bat. They tell me
that he can hit a southpaw as easy
t, a right-hander. And I guess he
ran for he rides with the pitcher
and stings the ball right on the
nose.
Fletcher played a fair game Sat
urday To his 'right or left he
covers a lot of ground, but I don't
believe he has the happy faculty of
getting hold of slow rollers. He
doesn't come in fast enough.
McGraw has a fine ball player in
Herzog. He made a couple of fine
pick-ups of hard hit grounders Sat
urday. but he doesn’t seem to pos
sess much of an arm. At least, it
didn't show any snap Saturday. He
gets the ball away very fast, how
ever. and this may make up for the
lack of speed behind the throw
Herzog certainly does look sweet

Is one of the best defensive ga.den

a swell running spear of a low
liner Saturday that was the equal
of any catch I ever saw. And he
sure has a wonderful arm. During
the practice before the game he
made a line throw from deep right
center that came up to Meyers as
though ft had been shot out of a
rifle.
Murray Should Hit.
I look for this red-headed out
fielder to do some tall hitting in the
series. Last fall against the Ath
letics in the title games he failed to
connect for a safe hit and he was
panned to a fare-ye-well. But he is
hitting hard and timely now. and
Saturday he impressed me as the
best man at the plate on the team,
possibly barring Doyle.
Devore is an erratic performer,
and they tell me that he can't do a
blessed thing against a left-hander.
He is fast as greased lightning, but

Snodgrass. I had heard, isn't
much of a thrower. Well, he sure
made a chuck home Saturday that
was a marvel. The ball sailed up
to the plate from deep center on a
line. He looks clumsy at times, but
he covers much more ground than
one sitting in the stands would
think. He takes a long, free swing
at the ball; in fact, 1 believe he
would do better if he choked his bat
a trifle.

how his baseball career ended. He was
with Detroit when he fell into an awful

VANDERBILT GETTING
READY FOR CONTEST
WITH GEORGIA’S 11
NASHVILLE. TENN.. Oct. 7.—Van
derbilt begins this week definitely pre
paring for the Georgia game, which is
to be played in Atlanta on October 19.
That will be Vanderbilt's first hard
game, and McGugin is going to make
every' effort to have his men in first
class fighting shape when he puts them
up against the squad turned out by his
old pupil. Cunningham. Georgia came
to Dudley field last year and gave the
Commodores the hardest tight of the
year, with the single exception of
Michigan, and the local players are
looking for the same sort of thing again
this year.
So far, McGugin has used his regu
lars very little, either in practice or in
the games with Bethel and Maryville
colleges. The same tactics will be con
tinued in the Rose Poly game, which
comes next Saturday. The Saturday
after that, though, will come the hard
fight, and McGugin hopes to send in
his list of first string men. uninjured
and fresh, against Georgia.
However, although the Commodores
are expecting their first hard fight and
one of the very hardest of what prom
ises to be a hard season, they hope to
win the game.
