JAP BARBEAU AND STORKE
FOR BYRNE, OF CARDINALS.

PITTSBURG, Aug. 2O.-one of the
biggest trades of the year in baseball
was contaminated here when Pittsburg
gave Jap Barbeau and Allan Storke for
Bobby Byrne, the hard-hitting third
baseman of the Cardinals.
For more han a year the Pittsburg
team has been after Byrne, but there
was a general howl sent up when this
great price was paid for him.
Barbeau has been hitting the ball and
las been playing as fast ball as any of
the team now chasing the pennant.
When st. Louis was in Plttsburg last
the trade was preached, but Bresna-
han would not have any of it. Since
that time he has changed his mind,
ever since reaching Pittsburg on
this trip he has been dickering with
Clarke.
Bresnahan wanted more players than
he really got for his third baseman.
1t is not denied that he was after one
of the very fastest men or the Pitts
burg team, and would have given a pot
of money besides Byrne for him.
Byrne will be seen in the lineup OF
Pitsburg today. and Storke and Bar
beau will also be seen in the Cardinal
uniform at Brooklyn.

Then, on the other hand, a win for

discovered that George Smith was
standing too close to the plate, and
there was a long argument. Erwin,
Holmes and Holly held a lengthy de-
bate. while nearly all of the Broncos
found that they needed new shoestrings.
The Buffalo team tried to hurry mat
ters by striking at everything, and a
defeat would surely have been regis
tered against Cancels men, as the
Bisons were still three runs to the good
at the conclusion of the fourth inning
when the rain arrived to save the
Broncos.
There is one man in baseball who will
never forget Harry Pulliam, n that
man is Hughey Jennings. Were it not
for the late president of the National
League, it is probable hat the famous
Detroit leader would AVE n back to
the mines before he had a chance to get
started on his brilliant baseball career.
About eighteen years ago Jennings was
q freckle-faced lad with large blue eyes
and a penchant to observe everything.
He sat on the bench for Louisville and
one day one of the regulars was injured.
Jennings had a nance to get into the
game. He was one bundle of energy. a
streak of fiery red that raced all over
the field. Hughey made some wild
throws, booted the ball and turned a
few somersaults bat he was always
busy. The fans laughed at him. His
ceaseless running raj funny.
That night Jennings left the field
with a heavy heart. He wanted to go
back to the mines, back to his Pennsyl-
vania home. In the morning he was
almost afraid to e the newspapers.
One alone spoke kindly of him. 1t was
said that he vas a promising young
ster, that all he needed was coaching.
Later in the day he met the man who
had encouraged him by his writing. 1t
was Harry Pulliam. The young Ken
tuckian who was then a sporting writer.
impaired a heap of good advice to Jen-
nings and from that time on the red
haired youth gained confidence, and he
gives all credit for his position in the
baseball world to the man who saved
him from going back home.

TT seems hal no matter in what
poor form Jack Frill may happen
to show, Baltimore cannot beat
him. The cement has a serious
thought of using him every day against
the Birds after yesterdays exhibition

more than his share of games against

although that ninth inning affair with
three men on bases and only one out

Mueller, however, was on the job with
some quick work, and a double play
started by the pitcher-third baseman
was a life-saver.
The Birds got a flying start and sent
two runs over the plate before the side
had been retired in the first, and it all
occurred after two were out. After
Strang and Dunn had been tossed out
by Louden, Hall placed a beauty to

with a crack to right for a base. and
