The DIAMOND FIELD.
What's the Matter with Kelly, the
$4,000 Beauty?
HIS SPLENDID WORKIN THE PAST.
Riley V. Miller, President the international
AssOciation-M J. Slattery, Out-felder
of the New York Club-General.

What's the matter with Kellyi They say
he isn't the same man he used to be. Mr..
Spalding was interviewed recently as TO his
feelings toward the $4,000 beauty. Kelly,
it will he remembered, broke his contract
with Mr.. Spalding. In speaking Of the trip
abroad, Mr.. Spalding said that Kelly made
application with others. He continued: "Be-
fore he signed l told him that could not pay
him very much money, and he said that was
all right-he wanted to 60. He signed his
contract; he failed to keep it, as is well
known. Every effort was made TO have him
go on the trip | had talk with him in
Chicago before we left for the coast, and
urged him to 60 as far as thecoast, for we had
billed him He finally said that he would go
east, fix up things and join US. Igave him 500
for expenses. We looked for him at Denver
and expected him daily. he stayed away and
so did my 500. never invited him to join
the party abroad, in London or Paris, and l
most positively deny that ever abrogated the
contract he made with me to so on the trip. l
am heartily glad that he did not go. Oceans
of wine were set before us, and to man of
Kelly's appetite such an attraction would
have been too inviting, and l am sure he
would not have been able to resist. l am
sorry that the Boston club has such a man as
its captain. He does not rank with those the
club has had in the past l feel almost
ashamed that l sold such bad goods to the
Boston club He isn't the Kel that he used TO
be when in the Chicago club"
In 1879 Kelly ranked fourth among League
batsmen, with an average of .34S. In 1882 he
ranked eighth among batsmen, with sos, and
sixth as fielder, with .SS7 In 1855 he stood
fifteenth as a batter, with .267, and twenty
first as a fielder, with SIS; as a catcher he
was sixteenth on the list, with 100. In 1886
Nick Young, in his official figures, gives him
something over $40 and the first place as bat
ter. Hestood tenth among the catchers, with
.S29, and seventeenth among right fielders,
with m As an all round player he ranked
No. "a, with 500. These figures seem incon-
sistent with the title bestowed upon him as
the prince of players, yet nevertheless it is
well merited.

the New England league, having deve Hoped
into free, hard hitter, an excellent fielder
and fine base runner. In 1887 he was en-
gagged by the Toronto team, which won the
championship of the International league.
Slattery played one hundred championship
games that season, with batting average of
.352 and fielding average of 300, while he
led the international league in base running.
1t was while Slattery was with the TorontoS
that Director Doyle of the Brooklyn club,
who had heard of his great reputation as an
outfielder and batter, went up to Canada to
see him play. For some reason or another
Director Doyle however, did not purchase
his release from the Toronto club. In the
winter of 1878 Manager Mutrie went on
one Of his quiet hunts, and the result was that
he engaged Slattery and Crane Of the Toronto
team for the New York club. At the same
time the Boston, Chicago and several other
clubs were after these same players. Stat
terry, on his first appearance in 1888 with
the New Yorks, did not make a very favor
able impression on either the management
Or the public, although he gave promise of
becoming good player.
Later, however, he showed such improve
ment that he readily found place, and was
installed as a regular member of the team
that won the worlds championship. He soon
stepped into popular favor, and his work has
steadily improved, until today he is looked
upon as one Of the finest outfelders in the
profession. During the past season Slattery
played in the outfeld in 1913 champion
ship games, and had the excellent average
of .9lS, while he had in the same number of
games a batting average of .245.

In an omnibus Ryan renewed the trouble
by speaking disparagingly of Anson to one
of the players,
''That will cost you S." said Arson, coolly.
"Is that sol" replied Ryan, sarcastically.
''Ten MORE" came the answer.
s'That isn't button on my pants, retorted
Ryan, red with rage.
"Wel, then" replied Arson, 1--WE will
make It S25"
Ryan now stopped his chattering, but the
men were very sore toward one another for
several weeks afterward.
Last year the old quarrel broke out afresh
in game at Pittsburg. Ryan abused Arson
on the field before all the players and nearly
two thousand spectators. The old man nursed
his temper admirably. That night at the
hotel Anson suspended Ryan indefinitely and
without pay for insubordination. The center
fielder walked out upon the streets and
threatened all manner of things When
morning came and the boys began dressing
for the game Ryan seemed to realize that he
had made a fool Of himself He went to An
son and made an abject apology for his con-
duct Of the previous day, and promised that
in future he would endeavor to treat his cap
tain with respect.
Arson thereupon relented and told the CEN
ter fielder to dress for the game and to act
like gentleman at all times and in all places
The youngster was on his good behavior for
several weeks, but his vicious temper again
got the better Of him, and his sale is the nat
ural outcome.

He NlLS One OF the Most Famous Sporting
Reporters in America.
Mark Mcguire, the veteran sporting re-
porter of The New York Sun, who died
recently in New York, used to say that he
was ''born rolling, for he came into the world
while his parents were on the way from Eng
land to America. As soon as he was old
enough to do anything for himself, he began
to sell newspapers. After while he became
the manager of newsboys, employing some
500, through whom he sold every newspaper
published at the time, and acquired the title
of king of the Newsboys." During this
period he controlled some who were destined
to eventually find more profitable occupation.
Among them were Barney Williams, Judge
Bowling and Superintendent Kelso.
While in the newspaper business Mr.. Ma
guire opened road house in the outskirts Of
New York This was in 1850. This venture
was followed by his opening several other
road houses, one of which was a favorite
resort with Commodore Vanderbilt and

work for living. His contributions, besides
those to The Sun, were to The Sportsman,
The Clipper and The Mercury. He married

because of his grip, which was an essential In
his occupation of preserving the peace at the

of the international association at the annual

When the democrats of Ohio nominated 4
ex-Congressman Campbell for Governor,

rushed In to say something derogatory Of
the candidate. Without waiting to verify
the truth about the mater, which Il could
have done, even from Its own columns, Il
stated that Campbell was pro,ecIloniss Of

and so forth. Evidently some school boy

The Pendleton 7SISSas publishes state
ment made BY first assistant Postmaster
General Clarkson, In which he states that
some papers charge him with having made
Ie.ooo aud others that he has made $4,000
changes In the psstofices since the begin

neither Is correct, as the changes number
1900. This Is the way this adminisua-
ilon Is carrying out Its pledges of civil
service reform, as well as these made by
Harrison In his letter of acceptance.
Clarkson hints that those turned out were
largely because the democratic postmasters
were keeping the Offices In grogshops. II
takes very foul mouth anL depra7ed
heart to make such foolish charge, but
Ciarkson Is fully equal to the occasion
We are surprised that the 7I1bsRe should

AFRAID

The Zimss .AsEnisiRaer continues to call
the democrats "free traders" The DEMOCRAT
has quite frequently called upon that paper {
explain what ], means by the term ''free trade"
This Is perfectly legitimate and fair question
and one no candid man should refuse to answer
but the AoHHtGaNsr studiously avoids tn
matter and refuses in toto to answer. Nov
why this rcfusaR Simply because its answei
would prove its own party to be ''free traders.
or il would prove its charge against democrats
to be false. This.aud this alone, is the reason
that that paper dOdges- II IS not candid aboul
the matter.
