JOHNNY BATES
"John W. Bates, popularly known as 'Joe,' outfielder for the Philadelphia Nationals, made his baseball debut with the team of his hometown, Steubenville, Ohio, in 1905. His reputation as a long distance hitter brought him into the National League under the direction of the Bostons.
In the middle of the 1909 season, he was traded to Philadelphia. He became one of the best batters in the league, having cracked 152 hits in 1910, good for a total of 209 bases.

FRED BECK
"Fred Beck, the hard hitting outfielder, was sold to the Cincinnati Reds by the Boston Nationals in February 1911. Beck started as a pitcher with the Bloomington club of the Three-Eye League, but having being tried in the outfield was such a success that he was kept there. In 1908 he put in part of a season with the San Francisco team and was then drafted by Boston.
In 1910 he did some heavy batting for that team, including 32 doubles, nine triples and 10 home runs among his 157 hits."

BOB BESCHER
"Bob Bescher, one of Cincinnati's famous outfielders, played base ball in college for four years, but did not go on the professional field until 1906 in Lima, Ohio. In 1907 and 1908 he played with the Dayton team, distinguishing himself in 1908 by stealing 62 bases. At the close of the Central League season, he joined the Reds and has proven a very fast man, covering a lot of ground, and leading the National League in the stolen base column in 1909 and 1910."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
TOM DOWNEY
"Tom Downey, Cincinnati's active young infielder, was first given a trial on a professional diamond in 1903 by James O'Rourke, Bridgeport's veteran manager. After three years in Bridgeport, he played in the outlaw Tri-State League and eventually landed with Birmingham of the Southern Association. He played at second, third and short for that team in 1908, and in 1910 filled at both short and third for Cincinnati."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
DICK EGAN
"Richard J. Egan, Cincinnati's fast second baseman, got into the professional game with the Spokane club in 1905. In 1906 and 1907 he played with the Peoria team and in 1908 was with Harrisburg. He made so fine a record with the latter club that year that he was recalled by the Reds, who controlled his services.
His work at second has steadily improved and he now ranks with the best players in the major leagues at that position."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
ART FROMME
"Arthur Fromme, one of the pitching staff of the Cincinnati Reds, commenced playing base ball when only 15 years old, and when only 20 got up and managed a team in his native town of Quincy, Illinois. In 1905 and 1906 he played with the regular Quincy team and with the Springfields, and commenced the 1907 season with the St. Louis Nationals. In the winter of 1908-1909 he was traded to the Cincinnatis, and in 1909 showed major league form for that team by winning 19 games, including four shutouts. In 1910 ill health kept him off the diamond, but he is looked to by the Reds for much good future work."

HARRY GASPAR
"Harry Gaspar, the promising twirler of the Cincinnati National League team, first appeared on a professional diamond in the I.I.I. League, and after pitching for various teams made a great name for himself with Waterloo of the Iowa State League in 1907. That year he won 32 out of 36 completed games and had such control that during the entire season he gave only 36 passes.
Since being drafted by Cincinnati he has become one of their regular staff and is expected to be of much service in the future."

EDDIE GRANT
"Eddie Grant, the third baseman whom Cincinnati got from Philadelphia in a trade during the winter of 1910-11, joined the Phillies in June 1907. During the 1906 season he had covered third base for the Jersey City Eastern League team in good style, and more important, had led the batters with .322. Manager Murray of Jersey City, when given the management of the Philadelphias, succeeded in taking Grant with him. In 1907 Grant was handicapped by injuries but has since developed into one of the best third sackers in the National League."

CLARK GRIFFITH
"Old Fox Griffith, manager of the Cincinnati National League team, first played as a semi-professional in Bloomington, Illinois. From 1888 on he pitched for several teams in the West and on the Pacific Coast, until in 1893 his work in Oakland brought about his purchase by the Cubs, for whom he played until 1900, when he became manager of the Chicago Americans in 1901. He resigned as manager of the New York Americans in June 1908, and in 1909 took charge of the Reds.
In his pitching days Griffith got his nickname by fooling opposing batsmen, and as a manager has displayed the same quality of astuteness."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
DICK HOBLITZELL
"Dick Hoblitzell, Cincinnati's star first baseman, only started as professional in 1907 with the Clarksburg, West Virginia, team. In 1908 before going with Cincinnati, he played 53 games with the Wheeling Club of the Central League. His hitting in the major leagues, figured on 1,242 times at bat in three years, averages .288.
His work at first has been of a high order. He does not play if tied to the bag."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
LARRY MCLEAN
"Larry McClean, catcher for the Cincinnati Reds, besides being a good backstop, is also one of the biggest men in base ball, being six feet five inches tall and built in proportion. He played with various teams 'way down East' until 1903, when he was transferred to Chicago, and in 1904 with St. Louis. The latter team let him go to Portland, who in turn sold his release to Cincinnati in 1907. Since then he has caught the majority of the games for the Reds, his pegging being especially good."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
MIKE MITCHELL
"Mike Mitchell, one of the hard hitting players who look after the Cincinnatis' outer works, first played professional ball in the New York State League, from which he graduated in 1905 to the Pacific Coast. In the outfield for Portland, his excellent performance in the outfield attracted the management of the Cincinnati team, and since joining them he has developed into a top notch batter. In 1909 he had 17 three-baggers and 18 in 1910, leading the National League."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
GEORGE SUGGS
"George Suggs, one of most dependable pitchers of the Cincinnati National League Club, first played with independent teams in his native state. In 1904 he worked for the Jacksonvilles of the South Atlantic League and from 1905-07 for the Memphis team of the strong Southern League, which has graduated so many good players to the majors. In the fall of 1907 his services were secured by the Detroits, who used him as a substitute pitcher for a year and a half, letting him go to Mobile during the 1909 season. His purchase by Cincinnati for the 1910 season proved a good investment."
