PAT MORAN PICKED LIVE ONE

Cincinnati Manager Made No Mistake When He Coaxed Slim Sallee Back Into Game. Among the members of the Cincinnati club is a long, lean, laconic gentleman from the Ohio farm lands who will bear close scrutiny. Harry Sallee, more frequently referred to as Slim or Sheriff, is the gentleman in question. The long-limbed southpaw—so the records say—obtained his first major league engagement back in 1905 with the Meridian club of the Cotton States league. He was a trifle too good for

of his first season was sold to the Birmingham club of the Southern association. There he remained until the fall of 1908, when he was picked up by the Yankees. . Just before the Reds started south this spring, Pat Moran, seeking to bolster his pitching staff, persuaded Sallee, who had received his release from the Giants, to join his club. In coming to terms with Moran, Sal took into account only the fact that Cincinnati is but forty miles from Higginsport. It scarcely"'occurred to him, or to Pat, either, at that time,, that the Reds might break into the 1919 world’s series. At any rate, Sal has given of, his best to the Cincinnati pilot, and is in no" small way responsible for the sensational rise of t£e club.
