Show SNODGRASS NOT TO LOSE PLACE New York. Oct. 29. Persistent reports re-ports that New York National league baseball club would dispense with the services of Fred Snodgrass as a re-I re-I suit of his costly error in the last i world series game are set at rest in a statement ghen out here by John J McGraw, manager of the defeated I New York team. He savs: I "I do not blame Fred Snodgrass in I the least for his failure to catch that j flv ball In the last game of the world's series at Boston. Snodgrass is a valuable and conscientious play- er and he will be a member of the I Giants next season. His failure to I make the catch is something that would happen but once In a hundred rases, and I want to say that he is deserving of sj'mpathy in this failure. It hurts him more keenly than it hurts anyone else. "In this connection I mav say that I feel even worse for Mathewson than for Snodgrass. as Matty pitched three excellent games without winning win-ning anv of them. There never was nnd never will be another pitcher like Matty." no |
