HAL CHASE
"Hal Chase, manager, captain and famous first baseman for the New York Americans, started out in California as a pitcher, but by good luck was tried at first, and it was soon seen that at that position he would be a star.
He played his first game with the Yankees on April 14, 1905. In September 1910, he succeeded George Stallings as their manager. If he can make the team as a whole play nearly as well as he does, Yankee fans will be satisfied."

LOU CRIGER
"Lou Criger, the veteran catcher of the New York Americans, is best known as the battery partner of the great Cy Young. In 1903 and 1904 when the Bostons won the championship of the American League, he caught two-thirds of their games, making splendid records both years. In 1901 and 1908 he led American League catchers in fielding averages, and in 1910 made only one error in 27 games.
He has been careful and is well able to retire comfortably."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
RAY FISHER
"Ray Fisher, pitcher for the New York Americans, ranked next to Ford in their corps of slabmen in 1910. Like Ford, he uses the spit-ball.
He started in Middlebury, Vermont, in 1908 and finished the season in Hartford, where his work was the sensation of the Connecticut League.
Base ball writers used to write of his 'double drop.' Whatever he used, he lost only one game in 1908, and in 1909 pitched the Hartfords to the head of the league."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
RUSS FORD
"Russell Ford, star pitcher of the New York Americans, started with Cedar Rapids of the I.I.I. League in 1905. That year he got 16 wins out of 29 games, incidentally striking out 101 men. The next year he won 22 games out of 31 and had 151 strike outs.
After playing in 1908 with Atlanta and in 1909 with Jersey City he showed his true ability by making for the Yankees in 1910 one of the most remarkable records ever had in a first year in the major leagues. Only the veteran Chief Bender headed him in percentage."

EARLE GARDNER
"Earle Gardner, second baseman of the New York Americans, first played in organized baseball in Springfield, Illinois, in 1905. In 1906 and 1907 he played with the Austin team of the Texas League and had averages of .226 and .291 in batting and .976 and .946 in fielding. In 1908 with Hartford he batted .302 and fielded .970.
In 1909, made too weak by long illness to work his first full season with the Yankees, he played 56 games with Jersey City and batted .294. In 86 games with the New Yorks in 1910 he batted .244 and fielded .939. If he can recover the physical strength that his unfortunate illness of 1909 robbed him of, he is expected to equal some his fine fielding records in the minors."

CHARLIE HEMPHILL
"Charlie Hemphill, outfielder for the Yankees, commenced his playing career with small-town independent teams in Michigan. He eventually joined the Grand Rapids team, and his work with them was so good that he was eventually bought by the St. Louis Nationals. Most of his big league experience, however, has been with the St. Louis American League team, from where he came to New York in the winter of 1907-08.
In his first year with the Yankees he batted .297 and stole 42 bases. In fielding his work has been good, his percentage for 1909 and 1910 being well up on the list."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
JOHN KNIGHT
"Jack Knight, whose release was purchased from Baltimore by the New York Americans, has won a sure place for himself as one of their most valuable players. In 1910 he at times played every position in the infield, and at the end of the season led the team in hitting. Of all batters in the American League playing over 50 games he ranked fifth. His 129 hits included 25 doubles, four triples and four home runs."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
JACK QUINN
"Jack Quinn, pitcher for the New York Americans, has played with a number of minor leagues since he went into the game in 1905. He came into public notice in 1908 when, pitching for Richmond of the Virginia League, he won fourteen games, tied two and lost none. His being drafted by the Yankees followed.
Playing with them in 1909 and 1910, he showed major league form, and is expected to be one of their regular and successful slabmen during 1911."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
ED SWEENEY
"Edward Sweeney, catcher for the New York Americans, began to play professional ball in Aurora, Illinois, in 1905, when only seventeen years old. He spent 1906 and 1907 with the Columbia and Atlanta teams, and in 1908 he joined the Highlanders but only played in a few games that year.
In 1909 his true value as a backstop became evident, and he has since been his team's mainstay behind the bat. He is tall and muscular, splendidly equipped by nature for the hard work of his position."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
HIPPO VAUGHN
"Jim Vaughn, the big southpaw of the New York Highlanders, was still in his teens when he first joined them in 1908.
He was born in Weatherford, Texas, in April 1888, and until 1906 hardly ever had hands on a base ball. He was a born pitcher, and after his professional start at Corsicana, Texas, went up through the minors like a rocket, landing with the Yankees in less than two years.
In 1908 and 1909 he did not appear in many games, having trouble both seasons getting and keeping in condition, but in 1910 he commenced to show his real ability, winning 13 games and losing nine, and is counted on for heavy work in 1911."
-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205
HARRY WOLTER
"Harry Wolter, outfielder for the New York Americans, started, like Hal Chase, as a pitcher. During his experiences, which included service in both the majors and minors, he alternated between the pitcher's box and the outfield.
When the Yankees got him from the Boston Red Sox in January 1910, it was intended to keep him as a utility outfielder, but his hitting was so good he got a regular place in right field. In 1910, he batted .267, making 128 hits, good for 173 bases, stole 30 times and scored 84 runs."
