Peerless Trio Is Broken In
Trade Of Leach To Chicago
HOnus Wagner, Fred Clarke and Tommy Leach Have
Played Ball Together For Is Years and Have
Been in the Uniform Of the Pirates
For a Period of IL Years

and Clarke before Wagner, and many
a pitcher Went out Of the game broken
hearted THROUGH the hitting and base
running of he three. Pittsburg be-
came 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 5905 times they hit safely
after coming to bat no more than 49,,
bases were $500 and $40 were two bag
gers, ass three baggers and 155 times
their clouts were good for the whole
circuit How they ran bases can be
told no better than the record of 1853
steals shows.
Handle 1880 Chances.
These great players combined han
died 1880 chances out of g total of
1883.
Leach wound up his great Pittsburg
career against St Louis by. sending
fly to Evans in right field, but not IN
til he had hit two singles and three
base hit, helping Marty O,Toole win his
game. It was fitting end in Pitts
burg for Leach, because 22.500 fans
who watched him for years saw his
career in Pirate uniform come to
glorious close.
As this multitude looked on not
soul knew tFat Wee, who was re-
sponsible for six of the runs in that
game, would no more drive men ahead
Of him and coach faltering Pittsburg
runners.
In II of the Is years that Leach was
with Pittsburg he made over 100 hits
per year while another year he made
81 In 1900 he was only in As games,
making 81 hits.

Of baseball players known in the his

This trio was composed Of Honus

Is years ago, when in the season OF
1899 Tommy Leach, a fast boy, was
sent to play third base for the Louis
VILE Coionels, which team was then on
the National league circuit
For 13 years these three great play
ers hung together, electrifying the
baseball world, winning four remnants
and one worlds championship
Greatest Trio.
Probably no such trio ever played
together as did the Mighty Wagner,
the great leader, Clarke, and fast,
brainy Leach.

When he was working good for Chica-
go and his wonderful pitching against
the Athletics in the memorable world
series game won him place by itself
in fandom. But King lost his grip
some place along the major division
short line and now he is slated for Co
lumbus, which is an American associa-
ton town. There is something wrong
with this King Cole swap. Either bad
handling or fayOrite playing has given
the Chicago pitcher the worst of it.
He is not too old, he has it in his arm
as witness his few winning games. But
he just seemed to lose his nerve and
is now on the slide. Baseball develops
many strange things and King Coles
rise and fail is not the least Of these.

Puffs From the Fans Hop Pipe

AIRY WOLVERTON, manager Of
n the New York Americans, says
H that the coming series between
the Giants and the Red Sox for the
worlds championship will be a battle
between managers McGraw and StahL
He credits both as being brainy lead
ers and says that the team that gets
the breaks" will win the title.
Speaking of the coming battle he
said:
ITS hard to figure out. I don't
think it's a cinch for either team. Both
teams are strong combinations and 1
look for the series to be a battle Of
wits between McGraw and Stahl, as
Wen, perhaps, as battle between the
pitchers.
Il can't see how any man, no matter
how shrewd he is in baseball, can say
that the series is a cinch for either
team 1 can't figure it out that way.
To me it looks like an even thing, and
the team that gets the break will win.
It's going to be some series, believe
me.
Almost anybody can figure out from
the avera ges of the players to his own
satisfaction how one team eXcels The
other, but all these advance calcula-
tons will count for nothing when the
teams take the field"

ANY attempts have been made
MI to get rid of the razor edged
4NA spike in baseball None Of them
have been successful and the ball play
ers are more than half responsible for
their retention.
Not because the players care to be
injured with them nor for the reason
that they wish to injure, but because
the men insist that nothing has been
devised which viii give them a better
grip on the turf.
A ball player must turn suddenly
and twist quickly, and most Of them
have stated that they have yet to find
an invention which gives them such
security as the present spike. II the
turn is not made as it should be the
player is likely to sprain an ankle,
wrench a tendon or rupture a hga-
ment and any one of these injuries
may terminate the career of a capital
player.
1t has remained for a golf player Of
experience to solve the question of the
spike by eliminating it, and he insists
that his Invention" will work as well
for the ball player as it has for him
in playing golf. Golfers wear spikes
