CECIL FERGUSON

"Cecil Ferguson, who has been pitching for the Boston Nationals during the seasons of 1908, 1909 and 1910, went to that team from New York when the celebrated exchange was made involving Tenney, Bowerman and other players.

It is worthy of note that while the average of the figures of his victories for three years was .393, his team as a whole averaged only .349. Seven of his games were shut-outs. Ferguson is a young man, and with the general stengthening of his team is expected to show a creditable record."

WILBUR GOOD

"Wilbur Good, outfielder of the Boston Nationals, made his entry into the major leagues with the Cleveland Americans in 1908. His fielding with the Naps improved in 1909 but his batting fell off, and they let the Philadelphia Athletics get him in a trade. The Athletics let him go to Baltimore of the Eastern League, where his consistent fielding and heavy hitting got him back into the majors with Boston and insured him a regular place in the lineup at the start of the 1911 season."

BUCK HERZOG

"Charles L. Herzog, who covered the difficult position of third base for the Boston Nationals for the larger part of the 1910 season, was obtained by them from the Giants, with whom he had little chance to develop, as he was not called on to play regularly.

In 1908 he connected to the ball to the extent of 48 hits and 38 runs scored in 59 games, a very good record. In 1910, his 95 hits included 20 doubles, three triples and three home runs, amounting to 130 bases in all."

JOHNNY KLING

"Johnny Kling, one of the greatest catchers who ever wore a mask, was acquired by the Cubs from St. Joseph in 1900. Until 1903, he was only their second catcher, but when in that year Chance went from behind the bat to first base, Kling began his wonderful record as backstop for the Cubs' splendid machine. Besides being a power behind the plate, his batting in the four championship years, 1906-07-08-10, averaged .285."

AL MATTERN

"A.A. Mattern, the star southpaw of the Boston National League club, commenced playing professional ball with Indianapolis in 1905. In 1906 he was with Montreal, and in 1907, pitching for the Holyokes of the Connecticut League, helped them win the pennant by securing 16 victories and losing 7. In the fall of 1907 he was bought by the Boston Nationals and has developed into the mainstay of their pitching staff.

Many offers have been made for him, but Manager Tenney intends to keep him for a nucleus around which to build a winning corps of pitchers."

HARRY STEINFELDT

"Harry Steinfeldt, star third baseman of the Cubs' famous infield, has covered the position for them for six seasons. His work at that difficult corner has always been good, and times brilliant. In 1907, his fielding percentage for 151 games was .967, a major league record.

For the three years ending in 1910 he made 376 hits for a total of 485 bases and 94 times delivered timely sacrifices."

CY  YOUNG

"Cy Young, Cleveland's veteran pitcher, has had a long and successful career. Among his greatest individual feats are a game of May 5, 1904, when not one of the hard-hitting Athletics reached first base, and another on June 30,1908, against the Highlanders when only one man got on base.

Prior to 1910 Cy failed only three times in his many years pitching to win a majority of his games. In 1910 he won his 500th game, an unsurpassed record.

August 12, 1908- Cy Young Day- was celebrated in Boston. He was presented with the entire receipts of the game and more silverware and floral designs than he could carry."
