All of the old Cubs are gon;, though four still remain in the National league. Evcrs and Reulbach now form the coaching squad of the Braves. Schulte plays the outfield for Pittsburgh, while Zimmerman, the kid inflelder of 190S, now is McGraw's third baseman. Of the 190S Giants, only Ilerzog is left in New York and he has been a Gotham inhabitant only off and on JIcGraw having traded him away twice and traded him back twice. Charley put in terms in Boston and Cincinnati. Like Zimmerman, Doyle and Merkle, Herzog was a rookie infielder in 1908. lie came into the league that season. Marquard, now with Brooklyn, went to the Giants in the fall of 1908, while Leon Ames, though a veteran of the Giant pitching staff in ilt)08, still is pitching good ball in St. Louis. Matty, of course, still is in the league as manager of Cincinnati, but Big Six is no longer in active service.
