FAMOUS 0'NEILL BROTHERS BATTERY
ARE BASEBALL CHESTERFIELDS

Perhaps the greatest drawing card In
baseball to-day is the famous O'Neill bat
terry of the Cardinals. Mike o'Ne!il is the
pitcher, and his brother. John. is the
catcher. John is the elder of the two, being
about q years old while the pitcher is but
a little over %. Contrary to general opin-
ion, the ONeill brothers are not coal
miners, but two of the most gentlemaniy
ball players In the national game to-day
Pitcher Mike O'Neili is perhaps the best
educated man playing baseball, and he can
run the scale of the 'ologies'' as well as he
can deliver an outshoot to an unsuspecting
batter. He is acknowledged to be an I'M
usual mathematician and is the author of
a textbook on higher mathematics. that is
quite popular in many of the big colleges.
Both the o'Neill boys are unassuming.
Their educational qualifications have not
enlarged their craniums. and they are
strong favorites with their wplayefs.

There was never a question raised In re-

in regard to this player. He was an asset
of the Detroit club. The peace agreement

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
The recent death of big Ed" Delehan;y
marks the passing from the center of the
baseball stage of, perhaps. one of the great
est natural players that ever donned a base
bali uniform.
OF massive build and possessed Of the
strength of giant, he was terror TO op-
posing pitchers, and his remarkable feat of
making four home runs and a single in a
game at Chicago has never been surpassed
by a batsrnan.
Back In the eighties he began his profess
sional career with the Mansfield, O.. team.
From his entry into the game Dcehanty
had been considered a batting marvel. and
by many good judges was considered the
most consistent and greatest right-hand bat
ter that ever played the national game.
During the ten years that record had
been kept on the work of Deehanty with
the willow. he finished the season but once
lower than ninth place-in 1991-when he
closed his seasons work with a percentage
OF .3le. in 1899 he led the National League
with percentage of .4cS. Las; year he led
the American League with a percentage of
.3T6.
Delehanty entered the ranks of the majors
from the Wheeling. W. V. team. His first

. DELEHANTY'S BATTING


When Delehanty got going he came with
a rush, and was soon batting up among the
leaders but 1t was generally thought that
simply because he had TO play there or II"
place. The $4,000 offered HIM for three
years work by the New York National
League management seemed TO he constant

Washington team was in ST. Louis last
that there had been many stormy scenes
between player and manager.

ing to walk TO his hotel from the race track
by making a timely touch. Racing Is not
INDUCED in. but he bore the reputation of
being willing to bet on anything from
penny-ptch TO the festive ponies.
Whether Delehanty met with an accident,
foul play or wilfully ended his. own life re-
mains as yet an open question. but his
death is one of the most tragic events in
the history of the national game;
Not only does his mother scout the suicide
idea. hut close friends of the great player
also shake their heads in doubt.
Doctor Max c. starkloff. who has
known the player for many years. recently
stated to the writer that he had never seen
