"One of Charlie Grimm's biggest stars is Hazen Cuyler. He is playing his seventh season with the Cubs after four years with Pittsburgh. Last year he batted .317 in 70 games, and five of his drives went for home runs. He is an outfielder, 5 feet, 10 1⁄2 inches tall, and moves the weights at 180 pounds. He bats and throws right-handed. Cuyler is one of the best hitters in the National League, one of the fastest runners, and a fine outfielder. Three times he led the league in base stealing."
