Keefe first attracted attention ball player CT
any merit away back in 1875. while playing at Lewis
town Ne. The following year he went TO Boston, but
only remained there one season. In 1879 he moved
to New-York and soon became the "star" pitcher OF
the old Utcas During the season Of 1880 Keefe did
almost all the pitching for the old Albany and Troy
teams He Joined tho Metropontans In 1888 pitching
for that team during the season Of 1883 and 1881
During those two years Keefe attracted the atten-
ton Of the entire baseball world by his remarkable
success In the pitchers box. His work WIS really
phenomenal. Keefe's light was toe strong for such
minor organization as the American Association, and
in 1885 Mutrie caused a baseball sensation Mt that
time The New.York club really controlled the des-
TIMES Of both the New-YOrk League club and the
MetropolItans. Eeefe and Esterbrook were the bright
est stars in the American Association. and both
were wanted By the local League club At that time
a player of the American Association could not be
transferred u the League until al the o.her AsSoo
ton teams had waived claim to him Ihe same cor
dtiOns applied League mon who wished 10 get INTO
the American Association. Mutrie wanted these Two
men for HIS League club and finally hit upOn plan
by which he would secure them. The OLD rule vas
that when a player released by club the 2ther
cubs Of the Organization had ten days IN Wmch 20
sign him. II he were not sg1ed IN that Zen GAYS VIZ
and EsterbroOk were willing enough 70 20 10 the
League, Mntre hit upon the plan which NJ carried
out successfully.
He asked Keefe and Esterbrook II they would not
like 10 go fishing trip with him They re2 EIk
consented Tickets were secured on s'a t T nay
ers got on board. They did not get out Of sight OF
land before Mutrie handed to each man hS release
