RED AMES
"Leon Ames, one of the New York Nationals' corps of twirlers, started with the A.J.G. team in 1903, and has since been one of the Giants. In his seven years with them, he has finished the season on the right side of the ledger five times. Some of the games he has won have long and hard fought, including one of May 30, 1910, when he beat the Philadelphias in sixteen innings.
Ames' control has been steadily improving. In 1910 he pitched 190 innings and gave 63 passes, or one about every three innings."

BEALS BECKER
"Beals Becker, utility outfielder for the New York Nationals, came to the Pittsburgh team in 1908 with a reputation for swatting the ball hard and often when he was with the Little Rock team of the Southern Association. The Pirates traded him to Boston that same season, and in 1909 he had 138 hits for 183 total bases.
Transferred to the New York Nationals for 1910, he has not had many chances to shine, but finished with a good batting average."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
AL BRIDWELL
"Al Bridwell, the Giants' fast shortstop, started to follow the profession in 1903, with Columbus [OH]. Later, he made such a good showing with Atlanta that the Cincinnati club drafted him. The Boston Nationals secured him afterward and traded him to the New York Nationals in a December 1907 deal involving Bill Dahlen, Fred Tenney, Dan McGann and others.
He has not only been a splendid acquisition for the Giants' infield, but has been one of their best batters. In 1910 the opposing pitcher struck him out only 23 times and gave him 73 walks to first base."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
DOC CRANDALL
"Otis Crandall, the Giants' promising young pitcher, has steadily improved. Not only has his percentage of games won climbed nearly to the top of the list, but the figures for his fielding and batting are high. In 1910 he had only one fielding error in 208 innings, and at bat hit safely 25 times for 38 bases and nad an average for the season of .342."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
ART DEVLIN
"Arthur Devlin joined the Giants in 1904 and has since been a mainstay of the team, doing grand work and plenty of it. Although he led the circuit's third basemen in 1908, it was not because he dodged the difficult fielding chances and thus escaped errors. On the contrary, he had a total for 1908, 1909 and 1910 of 573 putouts and 932 assists, more than any other third baseman in the National League. Some of his stops looked impossible before he made them."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
JOSH DEVORE
"Josh Devore, the Giants' fast, young outfielder, played professional base ball before he was twenty, with the Meridian club of the Cotton States League, in 1906 and 1907. The Giants secured his services in 1907, but for 1908 turned him over to Newark.
Although he batted .290 there and stole 48 bases, he was only a utility man at the Polo Grounds in 1909. In 1910 he came into his own with a batting average of .304, for a total of 186 bases while purloining an extra 43 sacks."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
LARRY DOYLE
"Larry Doyle, field captain and second baseman of the New York Nationals, first played with them in 1907, and succeeded that season in batting .260. Since then he has been one of the Giants' hardest hitters, twice getting into the .300 class. In 1910 his 164 hits included 21 doubles, 14 triples and eight home runs, for a total of 237 bases. Besides, in that year he waited for free transportation and got it 71 times, while stealing 39 bases."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
ART FLETCHER
"Arthur Fletcher, the Giants' active young substitute shortstop, came from the Dallas team of the Texas League. Owing to Bridwell's playing the position most of the time, he has not had much opportunity to get practice in actual games, but nevertheless has shown his big league form.
On October 11, 1910, he made four hits in five times at bat, and in two games in the series with the Yankees accepted 13 chances in fautless style."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
ARLIE LATHAM
"When the St. Louis Browns won the pennant in the American Association from 1885-88 inclusive, Arlie Latham was one of their stars. He was good in the field and at bat, several seasons batting over .300, and the most famous base stealer in the country.
Chris Von der Ahe, president of the club, used to go to every game just to watch Arlie's antics on the base paths and the coaching lines. In February 1909, Manager McGraw engaged Latham to give his young players points on getting around the bases, an art he is preeminently fitted to teach."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
RUBE MARQUARD
"Richard Marquard, bought by the Giants from Indianapolis in the fall of 1908, came to New York with a fine record. His effective work was a most important factor in the winning by Indianapolis of the close race for the Association pennant in 1908- in the 47 games he pitched for them, the opposing team scored only 90 runs, less than two to a game, and in 1,259 times at bat against him made only 234 hits, an aggregate batting average of .186. He struck out 250 batsmen.
Marquard is only twenty-two years old, and with a little more experience in the National League is looked to for work nearly equal to what he did for Indianapolis."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
CHRISTY MATHEWSON
"Christy Mathewson, idol of New York fans and one of the greatest pitchers the game has ever known, has been one great factor in helping the Giants to their good standing.
Absolutely subduing the Athletics in 1905 and mowing down the Yankees in 1910 (14 strikeouts in one game) were only samples of his work. His splendid control is shown by the fact that in four years ending in 1910, he only gave 191 bases on balls and hit eight batters (none in 1909) while striking out 770 men."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
JOHN MCGRAW
"When John J. McGraw took hold of the Giants on July 19, 1902, their winning percentage was .315. The next year he brougtht them up to a finish in second place. In 1904 they won their first pennant in fifteen years, and in 1905 won both the National and World's Championships. Since then they have stood second in 1906, 1908 and 1910, third in 1909 and fourth in 1907.
McGraw has done wonders in putting a winning spirit into the Giants,and what is more important, has developed a group of young players who will insure the future high standing of the team."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
FRED MERKLE
"Fred Merkle, once substitute and now regular first baseman for the Giants, first played ball with the smaller independent and semi-professional teams of the middle West. Eventually signing with the Tecumsah Club. he became one of the best players in the Southern Michigan Association, and was secured by the New York Nationals.
His playing has steadily improved, and the records show that he is developing into the ideal first baseman, who must be a top notch fielder and extra hard hitter."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
CHIEF MEYERS
"Chief Meyers, who did the larger part of the catching for the Giants in 1909 and 1910, has done some very high grade work, considering the short time he has been in the National League. In 1910 he had 154 assists, which shows that his throwing arm worked most of the time. His hard hitting, especially when the bases were tenanted, won many a game for his team."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
RED MURRAY
"Red Murray, whom the Giants got from St. Louis in 1909, already had a fine record at the bat and on the paths, and has made good. His 303 hits in 1909 and 1910, totaling 418 bases, were often made at the most opportune times, and in the outfield, he has spoiled many a prospective homer or three-bagger by a dazzling catch. His throwing arm to the plate has been deadly, as shown by his record of more assists in 1909 and 1910 than any other outfielder in the National League."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
BUGS RAYMOND
"Arthur L. Raymond, the big spitball pitcher of the New York Nationals, started out with minor teams in the Middle West. He first played Class A ball in the Southern League, and while there developed his spitter to such an extent that he was thought good enough for big league work, and the St. Louis Cardinals got him. In 1908 he went to the Giants in the famous three-cornered involving New York, St. Louis and Cincinnati.
When right, Raymond is a very effective pitcher, having terrific speed. He is physically rugged and has lasted through some hard extra-inning games."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
ADMIRAL SCHLEI
"George H. Schlei first played with the New York National League club in 1909, having come from Cincinnati to take the place left vacant when Roger Bresnahan left to manage St. Louis. To fill Roger's shoes was no small task, but the records show figures for his work above ordinary catchers. In 1910, on 211 chances, Schlei had only three errors for a percentage of .986, third on the list of National League backstops."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
FRED SNODGRASS
"Fred Snodgrass, one of the valuable young players McGraw added to the Giants, was engaged as a catcher in 1908. He had little chance to shine until the fall of 1909, when he played 20 games in the outfield and hit .300.
In 1910 he got into the ranks of the star batsmen of the league, having a batting average of .405 up to August 11, and finished with a figure of .321, only ten points behind Magee of Philadelphia."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
HOOKS WILTSE
"George Wiltse, the Giants' tall side-wheeler, has been a valuable asset to them. In 1904 when they won the National League championship under McGraw, his percentage of victories was .813, and in 1905 he again helped with a percentage of .714.
His greatest feat was pitching ten innings against Philadelphia on July 4, 1908, without a hit or a run. Only thirty-one men faced him."
