SENSATIONAL PLAYER OF THE GIANTS

Manager McGraw of the New York Giants has always expressed confidence in the ability of First Baseman Merkle to play first class baseball. The judgment of the scrappy little manager has been more than vindicated by the playing of Merkle so far this season. His batting and fielding have been far beyond the expectations of the New York “fans.”
