The passing of Dummy Taylor from the New York Giants to the Newark club of the Eastern League. is 0fts of inserest tg MSntgSsEIs1s rs ss s she remember him as member Of the Shreveport team.
 The Other day The New York world contained the following:
 that ever made merry on the diamond has probably seen his last days on the Polo Grounds. Luther Taylor, or aDun- my" as he ia affectiohately called by the players, ts to leave the Giants.
 Manager McGraw made the offlciai announcement that he had asked for waivers on Taylor That means that the famous deaf-mute pitcher Is to be put on the market. # no other club In the National League wants him. If any big league club should claim him he will have to go with that club.
 The dropping of Taylor Is probably has ever been compelled to issue. There was e feeling between Taylor and the chick o1 the 0iantS which was more than ordinary Friendship. On, account ef hts rare good hlmor Issn an snd ,s,ls., nts ISxe Taylor endeared himself to McGraw, and 1t Is likely that if McGraw had been in a petition to do so. he, would have kept the Dummy on his payroll thinks there is no man like. Mc9rHw and hisS forced retirement from the Giants will be the bitterest moment of his life. Taylor has felt for two years that MeGraw did more for him than his services really warranted, and when the manager offered to raise the deaf mute pitcher'& salary he declined. He is the first ball player on record that ever refused an Increase in salary.
 For the last two years TayIor's work has been Of the best and he has been used as an extra pitcher. m exc

McGraw tool charge Of the team. He began hif. baseball career at a school for deaf mutes ous In Kansas. Later he joined the Shreveport Club in the Southern League.

Mo Graw says that he Is a most valuable man to club, for that reason alone. Many time" says Mac, "have I seen and % revive the spirit of the players that they would go in and win"
 As late as last season Taylor did a bit of comedy that the Polo Grounds will not forget for many years to cfnnati in sea of mud and the rain was falling setadily. The umpires re- fused to call the game on. very much to the displeasure of the Giants When Taylor suddenly threw the umpires, the players and spectators into convui- sions of laughter by appearing on the coaching line in pair of boots. The shaft was so pointed that the players turned the game into burlesque. Bul Taylor was the sufferer after all. The umpires later became enraged at this reflection on their dignity, and ordered Dummy" to the clubhouse. He was later aned s10.

There is no chance of Downey sticking with the Cubs this season. and as by the ruling of the National Commission a few days ago.

 After leaving Chattanooga, Elston, 1t seemed, refused to come South. say ing that he would like to go up in In- diana where his wife was. Marphy did all he could to get Elston to come to Montgomery, but when he saw that the outfielder was determined not to come South. he let him sign with South Bend In the Central League. where ne hit .31T last season.
 Now he is again with a Chicago team. the White Sox having him this time. and the chances are that he will be one of the regulars in the Comisley outfield, especially if Fielder Jones is in earnest about not going back to chscago.
