John Mcmahon, says the Philadel-
phia Record, who in 1894 and 1895 was
the prime factor in the success Of the
Orioles, claims to have become re-
iuyenated and promises to pitch as
good ball in 1899 as ever he did. 1t
was in 1896, after two severe campaigns
in which he did most of the twirling
that made the Orioles champions, that
McMahon showed signs of weakness.
However, Hanlon carried him through
the season in the hope that he would
regain his strength. Finally Hanlon
released him. After short season with
Brooklyn Mcmahon dropped off the
baseball map for almost two years.
Now comes the report that the good
right.wing, which, together with the
winning smile that invariably accom-
panied him in the box, made McMahon
one Of the most feared pitchers in the
business, again is in form to do
execution. Manager Hanlon, made
wise by the second time on earth of
AL. Maui, has decided that Mcmahon
probably is as good now as ever he
was, and will give him trial and
may turn up another prize. McMahon's
injury was the tearing of one Of the
muscles in his pitching arm.
