Jas. McGuire's Record Is Different
DURING QUARTER CENTURY
OF BASE BALL "DEACON"
HAS NOT BEEN FINED OR
FIRED FROM GAME.

Jim MCGUIRE, who will be In
command of the Cleveland catch
ers and pitchers at Mobile. began
his base ball career in 1888, rs
years ago. He was then 81, and
he was in every back lots game
that offered opportunity to get
into the spot light.
Mcclure had chance to shine
in 1884, but base ball was fragile
then, and Jim had small chance
to show his worth. He was re-
leased and was signed by the To-
Iledo club of the American associ-
alton.
When the season of 1884 ended
Mcclure was transferred to the
Detroit club of the National
league. He was behind the bat
in 48 championship games in
1885, and his work was SO good
that Philadelphia purchased him
and he was with that team in
1886 and 1887.
Mcguire went to Cleveland in
1888, playing with the American
association club. The next year
him with Toledo,
then in the International league.
In 1890-when the National
and Brotherhood were at war
MCGUIRE was with Rochester. The
next year found him with Wash
ington, where he participated in
los games. Jim stuck to Wash
ington until 1899, when-in the
middle of the season-he was re-
leased to Brooklyn, where he
played for three years, going to
Detroit in 1902 and playing with
the Tigers until the close of the
season of 1908.
When MCGUIRE was signed by
New York in 1904 it was given
out that his salary was to be
$4,000 a year. Whatever 1t was,
Mcclure earned it.
Then came the information.
two years ago, that the Boston
Americans had signed him as
manager. Mcclure made good"
and his release by President Tay-
lor was regarded as an act of in
gratitude, and as a grave mistake.
