THREE FINGERED BROWN
 SHOULD STAY IN MAJORS

New York, Oct. 26.-The passing of Mordecai Brown is universally regret ted, for Brownie is one of the most popular performers in the game. He must be in pretty bad shape when fifteen big league clubs are waiving some team would take a chance on his recovery during the winter, or be glad to engage him as instructor to the younger pitching crop. Brownie, who is now about thirty-six years old, could last, as a coach, and pitching
 maybe a dozen games a season, for three summers to come, and would be well worth good money.
 One thing sure. Brown had it on Matty. and usually conquered him when they hooked up. Matty's fine annual pitching average would be finer still every season for the last seven years if he hadn't had Brownie as @ foe on such numerous occasions. And, too, at least one pennant was wrenched from New York by the di- rect victories of Brown over Mathew son, and two < worlds flags were snatched from Detroit mainly through his ability. The old Cub machine is surely changing when the old battery of Brown and Kling is absent from the roll.

TRADE BROKE UP
 PITTSBURGH TRIO

When Pittsburg traded Tommy Leach and Lefty Leif1e1d to the Chi cago Cubs for Artie Hoffman and King Cole, one of the greatest of trios of baseball players known in the history of the game was forever broken. Wagner, Fred Clarke and Tommy Leach. the Big Three. It was formed IS years ago, when in the season of 1899 Tommy Leach, fast the Louisville Colone1s, which team was then on the National League cir ouit.
 For 1s years these three great players hung together e1ectrffying the baseball world, winning four pen nants and one worlds championship. Probably no such. trio ever played ner, the great leader, Clarke. and fast brainy Leach.
 After playing together in Louisville was cut down to eight clubs, and Louisville was consolidated with Pitts burg in 1900, and Fred Clarke was
 In 1901. 1902 and 1903 Pittsburg won the National League pennant: In 1908 Pittsburg lost in the world s championship series to the Boston to first four games.
 Clarke, at the head of the peerless trio, kept on and in 1909 again won
 
 worlds championship.
 Leach always batted before Clarke, and Clarke before Wagner and many a pitcher went out of the game brok- en hearted through the hitting and base running of the three. Pittsburg became known as a three-man team through their great work.
 Some idea of the heart-breaking pace led by these men can be had from the fact that 5,905 times they hit safely after coming to bat no m nd9 5,905 hits the total bases were S,300, and $40 were two-baggers, 486 three baggers and 155 times their c1outs were good for the whole circuit How they ran bases can be told no better than the record of 1,159 steals shows.
 These great players combined hand led 16.50o chances out of a total of 17,5SS.
 Leach wound up his great Pitts burg career against St. Louis by send ing fly to Evans in right field. but a three base hit, helping Marry O'Too1e win his game. It was a fit ting end in Pittsburg for Leach, be- cause 22,500 fans who watched him for years saw his career in a Pirate uniform come to a glorious close.
 As this multitude looked on not a soul knew that the Wee, who was responsible for six of the runs in that game would no more drive men ahead of him and coach fa1tering Pirate runners.
 Tn Ii of the 1s years that Leach was with Pittsburg he made over 100 hits per-year, while another year he made 92. Tn 1900 he was only in 45 games, making 34 hits.

Paterson, N. J., Oct. 26.-Jol1n J. McGraw, manager of the New York Giants, made his first stage appear ance at the Majestic Theatre, this city, Thursday night. Outside of q little nervousness. McGraw's first ap- pearance was an unqualified success, and while he is no Jim Thornton, he tells his series of baseball stories with an easy style and delivery and seems perfectly at home on the stage.
 While we lost the series,' said McGraw, "and the players lost about $3O,0 900. do not blame Fred Snod- grass for losing the game. He is good ballplayer and will be with the Giants next year helping us to win another pennant."
 He said that the greatest regret of all was the fact that Mathewson pitched one of the greatest games of his great career only to lose at the finish.
