The education of Jimmy O'Connell.
X75,000 beauty of the Giants, is now
'under way. There are several things
helhas to'iearn about the art of play-
ing ball as they play it under the bi;
tent. Wherefore John McGraw is de'
termined that he shall learn and the
training of the youngster has begun
Being an apt pupil, O'Connell is lear-
ning quite rapidly and by the time the
season opens, he probably will have
absorbed the bulk of what McGraw
now is showing him.
Judging fly balls that come to him
out of the blinding glare of the sun
is something at which O'Connell. i

not an outfielder by choice at the out-
set of his pirofessional. career. He
played first base and, if one may be

McGraw is, not yet buying anybody
with a view of using him in Kelly'r
place. So, last year when Jack Mil-
ler went.out to San Francisco to man-
age the club in that city, McGraw ask-
ed him to convert O'Connell into ar
outfielder.
It came to pass that O'Connell was
switched from first base and took up
his stand in the 'outfield. . As. to what
he accomplished there the records d(
not tell a very flattering tale. 0'
course, the records do not always tell
the complete truth or anything like i'_
about a player, but they are offered'
for what they are worth. Among the
outfielders who played in 150 games or
more in the Coast league-the teams
average about 200 games a season-
O'Connell ranked no higher than thir-
teenth. Men. like Babe Twombley, Joe.
Wilbert and Duffy Lewis had better
marks than O'Connell, who, was char-
