PULLIAM'S UNTIMELY END RECALLS
MANY OTHER BASEBALL SUICIDES

The suicide of President Harry c.
Pulliam, of the National League, adds
another to the long list of prominent
baseball men who have taken their
own lives.
Heretofore the suicides have been
confined to the playing ranks, n
nearly a dozen famous players are
found to have died by their W hands.
The first player to take his life was
Catcher Frank Ringo, who drank
poison at Kansas City on April II.
1889. He was part of the famous
Philadelphia battery of Coleman and
Ringo, both players joining the Pitts
burg team after a long term of service
with the Quakers. Ringo had retired
from baseball and was. a travelling
salesman for a cigar firm at the time
of his death.
Pittsburg was the scene of the next
baseball suicide, Edward j. McNabb,
the Baltimore pitcher and a native of
this city, shooting himself and dying
instantly at the Eifel Hotel in Smith
field street in 1894.
Ed Crane, famous as a pitcher and
said to ave made the longest throw
in the history of baseball, although he
vas never given the record officially,
swallowed poison and ended his life
at Rochester in 1895.
y The year 1900 witnessed the terrible
act of Martin Bergen, the Boston Ma
tionals' star catcher, who killed his
wife, three children and himself.
In July of the same yea James Nc
Calligan, with the New York Giants
for a while, suicided by cutting his
throat.
On January 10, 1903, Winnie Mer-
Ger, the famous pitcher, then with
Washington and managing a barn
storming trip to the Pacific coast, ended
his life by inhaling gas in a San Fran
cisco hotel.
On March %, 1907, Charles C'Chick")
Stahl, then manager of the Boston
Americans on the spring training trip,
drank carbolic acid and died at West
Baden Springs, Ind.
Two days later p. ID. Murphy, a
minor league player and a former team
mate of Stahl's, who had gone to Fort
Wayne to attend the latter's funeral,
committed suicide in the same manner
as Stahl.
Within a few months OF Stahlfs death
three minor league players. Alvin

tody at Yankee
Park.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-The arrest of
three men yesterday at the American
League baseball park during the games
between New York and St. Louis midi
Gated a campaign on the part of the
police to break up gambling on base
ball games. Betting during the games
recently, particularly because of the
fact that there is no racing in New
York at present, has been open. Pro-
fessionals. with their hands full of
money, have cried out loudly their
offers to wager on hits, runs, errors and
on the game. The police action fol-
lowed the filing of a number of CON-
plants.

There is a green pacing mare in the

like the big show. Her name Is Queen
Bee. Keep your eye on this one, an
other Danish Girl.
The chestnut pacing gelding Mac

Orange, and in the stable of Ike Hully,
continues to show a marked improve
ment in his work, and yesterday morn
ing Ike stepped him a mile in 2:141a.
The horse could surely have stepped
this mile In 2:1z had he been asked to
do so. He stepped the first quarter in
81 seconds, went to the half in 1:Ob1s,
and paced the last eighth in 14A Sec
onds. He will start in the 2:lS pace at
Troy, n. Y, and h horse that beats
him will get a record a lot better than
2:15. He will also be started at Goshen.
Billy Coville la worked the chestnut
4-year-old PAGER Lid Direct a mile in
2:21 in the straps. He promises to be a
great horse in the slow PAGES this fall
at the pumpkin shows. He is a good
headed thing, and will step some fast
miles this year, and ought to be a
great horse in his 5-year-old form.
The chestnut gelding, Baron Whips,
2:07A, who was trained by Billy Co
vile over the local track last season,
won the 2:0S pace at Kalamazoo, Mich,
Monday in straight heats, defeating the

extremely heavy. The summary of the
