BY HARRY NELLY.

The passing OF Matty Mcintyre
marks the final break OF what was
the greatest outfield in baseball. With
Mcintyre in left, Crawford in center,
and Cobb In right, the Tigers when
they won three pennants, possessed
the greatest set of gardeners In the
business. For general, all-around ef-
fectiveness, the equal OF this comDina-
ton did not exist in latter-day base
ball. The trio had everything that
goes 10 make up a proper outheld, but
in baseball you don't last forever. SO
the combination was broken.
In his prime Mcintyre was regarded
as the greatest throwing outfielder In
the major leagues. His claim to that
title was disputed by only one man,
Joe Birmingham, and their relative
merits always was a matter OF great
dispute. Mcintyre possessed the rare
accomplishment of throwing left hand
ed without the nasty curve and bad
bounce that characterizes most men
who toss from the port side.
There wasn't an outfield in baseball
that compared with the Detroit trio
when each was going well. The
three men hit away above 800 each
and formed a nucleus for batting and
run-getting strength that was hard 10

est men in the business for the pltcn-
err. He hit left-handed, was last ana

At last a baseball player has been
found who admits that the umpire is
i'm better position to judge plays
than the player himself. Jack Knight
of the New York Highlanders is the
wonder in question and there is lit
tie doubt of his being the man for
ali these years.
Knight turned baseball writer this
winter and in one of his articles in
the New York Press in regard to the
umpires, writes as follows:
AL umpire, though, Is usually In a
position to Judge plays better than
anyone else. The man back of the
bat certainly can see balls and strikes
better than anyone who is looking at
the plate from an angle. The fielc
umpire, being at right angles to a
runner, is in the best position to
Judge whether the ball or runner
reached the base first. It's common
thing for the bench warmers to howl
and yell murder when a man on ar
opposing team has been called :"

looked to be out a step" 10 them

hand, the man stealing is just as I'm

aud almost invariably differs from
the umpire IL called out.
Every umpire has his own method
OF running the game. Some umpires,
notably Billy Evans and Tim Hurst,
get along nicely by kidding the play
ers out OF their crouch. They dislike
to put a man of the field and only d.

the opposition for the reason that he
could get on. and, -waen the occasion
required, could hit straight-avay. Few
first-up players possessed both knacks
waiting and hitting. Followed by a
good sacrifice man, Mcintyre was a
great run-getter with Cobb and Craw-
ford next in the swatting order.
Davy Jones seems to wear better
than Mcintyre and during the past
season he was considered the regular
left fielder. Deprived of the chance
of working daily, Mcintyre lost his
effectiveness az a batter and his aver
age last year was only 1886. The
figures for Mcintyre and Jones are
n n 19nes LIB 70 ssd5 % l99ss 20? sss
Mcintyre played II games in the
outfield and hung up an average OF
.946. Jones labored in 10l and aver
aged .954. Although in "a less games
than his rival, Mcintyre made II as
sists as compared with 13 for Jones.
This shows that Mcintyre III spite OF
his bad season, has not forgotten how
to peg the ball
The speed with which a ball player
declines when he once hits the to-
boggar is illustrated very we'll by the
fact that President Frank Nayin asked
waivers on Mcintyre last August and
every club in the league passed up
the opportunity OF getting him for
81 500. Every Manager was more
anxious TO take a chance with some
youngster, and when the Juvenile
White Sox failed TO produce. Owner
Charles Comiskey let loose $1,000 for
his release.
The Michigan state indoor track
meeting To be held by the Y. NJ. c.
A. at Light Guard armory next
month, ought to do much towards
bringing TO public approval this form
OF athletics. In the east the indoor
stun has attained a place of promi-
nence in winter sports, but In the west
little attention has beer paid to this.
The program is comprehensive
enough that II gives all sorts OF ath-
letes all the opportunity in the world
TO show their merits. Being on a
strictly amateur basis, the evils OF
professionalism will be eliminated
entirely.
