Good Recruits of 1911
GAREY (Coprrlchted. 1911, by I. J. Robinson.) An unueual number of elerer youngsters came into the big leagues tn 1911 enough to nhow that the timber Is full of good ballplayers, if the scouts could only And them. Some twenty of these young players made good impressively, and will be the backbones of their various dobs for the season of 1912. "Ping" Bodte of the White Sox really an Italian with the glorious old name of Francisco Sangulnaro Pisit tl, or something like it wtw one of the most Interesting of the newcomers. Out on the coast, he was the greatest fence-breaker they ever saw. Thirty heme-runs were In bis 1910 output but the fences In the American League are farther out Ping didn't gather any such crop of homers, but he rapped many a hot single and good double, OHded well, and endeared himself with the happy throng. Mar Canarius cut down to Carey came to the Pittsburg club as extra
fielder, but the older men were bo mowed down by disabilities that young Carey
was out there In almost every game.
He batted well, was the club's best
hnnprnrmer. and covered a world of
outfield ground.
Tho young first baseman of the
Tljrors. Ip1 Gainer, was both promising
and unhwky. He had his wrist brok
en before the season was far nnder
way and had to stay out of it for half the schedule. In the games he actually
played. Gainer tielded round first base
like a Donohue or Chase, ami batted in a solid convincing fashion. He looks extremely good for the 1912 campaign. Properly sneaking, Arthur Fletcher
of the fliants is not a reeruit of 1911.
for he 1ms been with McG raw's team for three years. This season, however, saw him pass from the chrysalis state to full membership among the regulars, where it took him little time to prove himself a marvel. He batted so heavily, when once given the chance to work, that he displaced the veteran Devlin on
third base. When Ilerzog joined the Giants, Fletcher was too valuable to be benched he was moved up to shortatop, and made good there right along. The highest price ever paid for contract of a ballplayer $22500 in real and visible money made the name of Marty O'Toole, redheaded spltball pitcher famous from sea to sea this season. O'Toole, a sturdy, middle-sized fellow who had a brief trial with the Beds some years back, showed such
wonderful ability while with St. Paul this summer tnat Fittsburg, outbidding six or seven other clnbs, coughed up $22..00 for the hurler, who thus be-f-arne the most widely advertised performer in the grume. When with Pittsburg, OToole displayed great class and splendid promise. He has a crafty head, fine control, and a great assortment of curves. A lame arm handicapped him terribly, but he showed the real goods just the same, and will be a big winner next summer. Jimmy Doyle, of the Cubs, was tried in 1910 by the Beds, and sent to the
minors as being a feeble hitter. He rapped only .254 for Louisville, and when the Cubs took him it was generally prophesied that he'd never do.
Doyle fooled them all. He fitted into his proper notch in the Cub machine from the day he was put at third, and fully filled the shoes of Harry Steinfeldt, while his batting was far heavier than it had been in the minor leagues. Doyle will do, and will be right on band with the Cubs when springtime comes. A pitcher who didn't cost any $22,500, nor even $2,250, but who delivered bis goods in spendid fashion, was
Grover Cleveland Alexander, who came
to Philadelphia from the New Tork State league, and who was considered only an experiment, and a dubious one, when the Phils first took him on. He proceeded to show from the very start that he was one of the greatest young pitchers of the day. The new comer had tremendous speed, fine control, and many of the ways of; Mathewson. As the season waned, he showed no falling ofl in skill, and finished the campaign going, if anything, even better than at the beginning. A few other youngsters who made good and are counted on for great
work in 1912 are- Vean Gregg, the sensational lefthanded pitcher of the Cleveland Clnb ; Danforth, a new but wholly effective pitcher lassoed by Connie Mack ; Joe Jackson, the absolutely dazzling batsman and outfielder of the Clevelands, who looks to be a second Cobb; George Jackson, the terrific hitter who joined the Boston Nationals in mid-summer; Chalmers, a fine young pitcher of the Philadelphia Nationals; McCarthy, the tiny but brilliant shortstop of the Pirates; Severoid, a corking catcher and batter of the Reds; Mar sana and Almeida, the clever Cuban recruits of the Cincinnati club; and a small brigade of others, all far above the general scale.
