good their pay envelopes were increased
much to their pleasure. of course.

In 1889 He Signed With
Cleveland and Became a
Wonderful OutfieIder.

James r, McAleer had to become the
owner of a club before he could achieve
the goal of every man at the head of
a base ball club, the winning of a cham
pionship.
Since the year 1900 McAleer had been
trying to land winner. Two years as
manager of the Cleveland club, eight
years as manager of St. Louis and two
years as chief of the Washington Ma
tionals failed to bring a pennant to his
club. In 1902 he finished in second place
with st. Louis. and he was fourth with
Cleveland in 1905, but that is the best
he ever did. He was at the head of "a
second division club every year outside
OF the two mentioned.
Not that McAieer was a bad mana ger
They considered him one of the best in
the business. but somehow or other some
thing went wrong. Jimmy didn't have
the players one year and he had the
players the next. only to be deprived OF
their services by accidents. So it went
for twelve Years and never a champion
ship team for McAleer
In those twelve years Jimmy saved
money and made friends. When the OPP

provided the business brains for the club,
and with that combination and a bunch

was inevitable.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, December 2O-The Phil
ade1phia National League club will not
be sold after all. Charles p Taft, be-
fore leaving for the Panama Canal Zone
last night, held a long conference with
Alfred d. Wiler. acting president of the
club. and William Shettsline secretary. In
Philadelphia. Mr.. Taft notified them that
he had decided to hold on to the stock,
franchise and players and that he would
finance the club anew for the season of
1913. 1t was after Mr. Taft had talked
with President Wiler over the long-d dis
lance phone East Tuesday that the pub
lice announcement was made that Mana
ger Charles Doom had received full au-
thority to sign the players and arrange
for the spring training trip. At the same
time Mr.. Taft was Informed that only
so was in the clubs treasury, which,
of course, meant the furnishing of a new
bank roll.
When Horace Fogel gave up the clubs
presidency in favor of Wiler it was said
that the formers lawyers had advised it
as tactical move prior to the action of
the National League in ruling Fogel out
OF its councils. AS a matter of fact. Mr..
Taft ordered Fogel's resignation himself
and commanded Attorney Wier to as
sumo the duties of president. 1t is
highly improbable that Wiler will remain
at the head Of the club, for the reason
that he cannot spare the time away from
his law practice and furthermore his
knowledge of the intricacieS of base ball
politics is limited. He has carried out
Mr. Taft's orders. however. especially in
casting the clubs vote for the reelection
of Thomas J. Lynch to the presidency of
the National Ieague

r. McAleer from an active playing part
to the dignified role of manager. Identified
with the American League from its BIRTH
he cast his lot with the infant organlza-
ton in 1900, taking the management of
the Cleveland club.
While his labOrs have not been reward
ed with any great amount Of success,
when judged from the standpoint Of po-
sitions that the different teams he man
aged occupied, yet he has always been
considered n great manager.
Since taking up the Boston proposition
and with everything in his own hand
President McAleer has given that great
ball town a great ball team, a team that
cut and decisive manner. He reached
the browning ambition of his career this
season.
Following is the complete record of Nc
Aleer, the years he played each club,
each league number of games, hits,
stolen bases and batting and fielding av-
erage for each season:

His fielding was a feature of almost
every game he played in that season.

pacing the high road to fame. Mil
