New York, Feb. 25.-President
released Willie Keeler,
who was champion batsman of the
National league i'm 1897 AMI 1898 and
who hit over the 800 mark for IA con-
secutive seasons in the major organ
ization. Farrell had a chance to sell
Keeler's release to two American
league clubs, but in view of "Wee Will
lies" faithful services here decided to
let the veteran make whatever plans
he could for the future.
The little fellow has played 2,099
games in the National and American
leagues, has scored liza runs and
has made 2,94S base hits. His batting
average from 1892 to 1909, inclusive
was .346. Keeler's highest swat credit
was .432, made with Baltimore In
1897. his lowest .234, procured in
1907 while member of the New York
American league club.

league was played at the Polo grounds

OF the Eastern league. From the
Giants Keller went to the Superbas

crack twirler and one of the veterans
of the National league, annexes one
half that number.
Cy has been pitching in select COM
pany for twenty years, and in that
time he has won 497 games and lost
2S7. Mathewson started ten years
after the veteran and up to date has
won 237 games and lost 100. Matty's
start was anything but suspicious. for
in 1900 he failed to cop a single show
and lost three. He won 20 and lost
II the following season and in 1902
worked at a .419 clip, winning 10
and losing IS, but since then he has
been "the best pitcher i'm the world"
In 1908 Matty won 80 and lost 10
for sos mark. The following year
he won 80 and lost s. an .S14 percen-
tage, his best record. In 1905 the
count was 81 and for IT'S. and in
1906 it was % and 10 for .647. In 1908
he won 81 and dropped IL, a III rec
ord. while last season he won 25 and
lost but 6. an 500 record.
Mathewson was secured by New
York from the Norfalk club of the
Virginia league. His first game in the
National league was on July II, 1900,
in Washington park, Brooklyn, he be-
ing sent to Doheny's relief in the fifth
inning. when the score was to 5.
AT the finish the count was Is to
against New York.

Barney Dreyfuss, Pittsburg owner,
said: "They acted like a lot OF jeal-

Dreyfuss says the Pirates will use
their young pitchers this season and
that the veteran Vic Willis was sold
to the st. Louis Cardinals because he
was too strong to be sold to a first
division club.
Jake Thielman, the veteran pitcher,
with Louisville last season, is now a
Hoosier. Jake was signed to q one
year contract last winter and ut the
end of the past season secured his
freedom. Charley Carr offered him
more than the Louisville people and
he has returned TO the team he was
with i'm 1906.
Harry Howell, Brown pitcher, has
asked owner Hedges TO send him
south earlier than the rest of the play

that by the time the big squad hits

TO continue pitching. Howell spent
