BURNS GOOD FOR INFIELDER

Manager McGraw of New York Giants Praises Outfielder —Had No Room —— ,for Player.— John McGraw was talking about George Burns. “He should have been an infielder," said the Giants’ manager,

“but I had so many infielders at the time—Groh and Stock among them, you will remember —that I put Burns in the outfield. He’d have been another Bill Dahlen; he’s just that sort of player, but he made a pretty nice outfielder, at that.”
