CY SEYMOUR

"Cy Seymour is one of the most sensational players ever developed. He is the son of a minister, from Albany, New York, and at the height of his pitching career was a member of the New York Giants. His hitting was great and he became a superb fielder.

After five seasons with the Giants, Cy went to the Baltimore American League club, then to Cincinnati, where he took his place in the Red outfield with Joe Kelley and Fred Odwell. He led National League batsmen in 1905 while a member of the Cincinnati club.

Cy is playing this season with Baltimore. His record last season with the Orioles was as follows: in 112 games he batted .296 and fielded .949."

Rube was with Baltimore in 1910 and has seen service in the American League with the Philadelphia Athletics. He is a fair hitter with an average last year of .231."
