POPULAR WITH BALL FANS IN NEW YORK

Long Larry McLean has made a great bid for honors since joining the Giants and is playing the best ball of ms career in addition to behaving himself on and off the field. While with the Reds Larry developed the reputation of being a “bad actor,” but his New York sojourn has been singularly peaceful and free from trouble. He adds considerable strength to, the Giants, stepping into the breach whenever Chief Myers is out of the line-up. Larry is a first-class backstop and is a good hitter. When in condition there are few more valuable men behind the bat in the big leagues. He has got along in good style with McGraw and has given his best efforts to the Giants, Larry acted as-catcher tor the Cincinnati Reds for several seasons and later was with the St. Louis Cardinals. r_ ~ T
