Several Former Stars i'm 1912

fade from the big league map last
season was Jim Delehanty. Dave
Fultz, head of the Players Protec-
tive association, says Ban johnson
forced Del out of fast company be-
cause of the part he took in the strike
of the Tigers. This seems to be one
time, however. where Dave is talking
through his hat as Delehanty's legs
troubled him for several seasons.
Germany Schaefer. who also earned
distinction as a second baseman for
the Tigers, Is pretty near through as
a player, but he will be kept in Wash
ington in the capacity of clown.
Other famous old veterans who will
play little or no part in big league
baseball next season are Catcher
Charley Sshmidt. once of the Detroit
Tigers; Frank Chance and Harry
Davis. two former star first base
men; Arthur Devlin. once the best
third sacker in the country; Briscoe
Lord. Danny Murphy and Matty

him the annual wonder on the ball
field?
Let US fancy another kind of a
Wagner. What If Honus had been
an Indifferent kind of a chap, with a
fancy for the limelight and the streets
Of the city in the off season? What
If he just loafed around and did
nothing? Four or five years ago
Honus would have passed from the
realm of the truly great. But to his
rowing nature and his love for the
simple life the Pittsburgh club and
the fans of Pittsburgh owe the fact
that Honus comes around every year
and is the mainstay of the Pirates.
Yes, Sir--re-e-e. But the desire for
outdoor life has to be part of a
mans nature and Hans Wagner has
that nature"
There is nothing tempting on the
hotel or dining car menu for Honus
He prefers the simplest kind of fare
and plenty of it. Honus would stor
at the Waldorf-Astoria and calmly
order 'ham-and,' all the while, ignor-
ing with characteristic conte1npt the
alleged tempting merits of lobster a
la Newburg, pate de fois gras, crab
ravigotte, and the pastries and
knockknacks of the stewards batting
order For fifteen years they have
tried to wine and dine Honus and
educate him up to these lofty notions
in the culinary art, but the German
would rather order his own meals
and pay twice as much for them as
the chap who fuses over the Frenchy
menu and its varieties.
"As for the evenings in a large
city. Honus always enjoy himself.
In New York he hunts out the big
moving picture shows where the
movies may be showing African
game hunts or some sort of adventure
in the jungle, woods or on sea. The
next morning he may be up bright
and early, and within an hour or two
he will be forty-five minutes from
Broadway. where the fishes have an
idea of the closeness of little old New
York town.
Yes, it is funny how the Dutch
man keeps in shape year in and year
out"

SOMMERS TO PLAY
ALL-STARS TOMORROW

y game of football will be played
at the Columbia Oval, Forest Hill,
tomorrow afternoon between the Som
mer A. C. and the All-Stars. This
game has been arranged in accord
ance with promise made by the
Sommer management to the fans last
week that the pick of local elevens
would be pitted against the home
team.
Eric Nelson. who has played on the
Sommer A. c., and has also starred
with the East Side High School
eleven. will captain and pick the All
Star combination. He has not as get
given out his line-up. but warns the
Sommer management to have out
their best players if they expect at
least to put up good showing. The
Sommer team, with but one exeep-
ton. has been having things all its
own way at the Columbia oval, win
ming nearly all of its games by one
sided scores, and will be out tomor-
row to keep up its splendid record.

DETROIT HAS THE WORST
BATTER AS WELL AS BEST

The Detroit owners now have on
their muster roll the man who claims
the proud distinction of being posi-
lively the worlds worst hitter. Hea-
ley, the pitcher secured from Denver,
is this individual, and his record for
1912 ought to give him the laurel as
universal champion in the anti-swat-
ting league.
In thirty-seven games Healey was
charged with eighty-two legal times
at bat, and on each of these eighty
two occasions he failed to make a
base hit. His seasons batting aver
age is exactly 200, which, considering
the number of chances that he had to
spoil this perfect mark, stands alone
among the records of nom n-accomplish-
ments.
Any number of batsmen have gone
hitless for from ten to twenty-five
games. Shipke, formerly with Wash
ington, once Travelled twenty-thre
playing days without breaking in, but
so far as can be learned Healey
stands alone in having endured
through an entire season with an un-
blemished row of zeros to represent
his power with the fail.
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1912-12-21

The season of 1912 was a hard one
for major league veterans, many of
whom were knocked out of the spot
light by old Father Time. Perhaps
never before were so many stars of
the diamond retired from the big
leagues in a single season.
One of the first to fall by the way
side in 1912 was old Cy Young. Be-
fore the season was half over the IA
nous old veteran was convinced that
his days of usefulness on the dia-
mond were finished and he retired to
his Ohio farm, never again to be seen
in big league baseball.
Young, however, was not the only
star pitcher to retire from major
league baseball in 1912. Mordecai
Brown of the Cubs and Wild Bill
Donovan of the Tigers are other for
mer prize twirlers who tipped their
last big league games in the season
just passed. An injury to his leg
helped to shorten the career of
Brown, but Donovan played out ms
string and ended the season as man
ager of the Providence team. Wild
William pitched for the Brooklyns
before the American League ever
threatened to invade the East
Kickapoo Eddie Sommers, also OF
the Tigers. was another pitcher OF
more than ordinary ability who was
lassooed by Father Time last season.
A sore wing assisted Pop in SUM
mers's case Cy Morgan. the Cross
Roads cut-up of the Athletics, was
another capable mound artist to take
a Brodie out of the majors. Cy was
sent to Kansas City by Connie Mack,
but went into vaudeville instead.
Lesser lights on the hurting hill to
turn in their big league uniforms last
season were King Cole, the boy Won
der who led the National League
pitchers in 1910: Barney Petty, A
time-honored member Of the Browns,
who finished his major league career
with Washington; Harry Krause, of
the Athletics and Cleveland, who was
q marvel in 1909, and Jim Vaughn
and Jack QUINN both of the High
landers.
Perhaps the catching department
was, assailed the hardest by Father
Time in his 1912 attack. The back
stops Pop captured last season were
in their day the best in the country,
Four years ago Johnny King was
the greatest catcher in the National
League, and Billy Sullivan and Gahby
street divided the honors in the
American League. All three of these
former stars are through as big
leeguers. though King is retiring of
his own accord.
The best known second baseman to
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1912-12-21

Hans Wagner. the Pittsburgh
ehortstop, is one of the youngest
veterans in the National League
ranks. Physicians ascribe the Ger
mans greatness to his rowing disposi-
ton. his fondness for nature and
habit of eating what he pleases. In
commenting upon Wagner's ability to
keep in good shape, year after year.
James Jerpe, of Pittsburgh. who has
known the great shortstop number
,of years, says:
when man of his natural ply
siuue can eat what he wants, drink
what he wants and do what ne
pleases in the open air all the year
around, it isn't any real wonder that
he prolongs his athletic career and
stands off the slowness and stale
ness that comes to the best of them
as the years go by.
"Honus is the living ideal of the
simple life. He clings to nature. he
spends his fall and winter in the
woods and the spare time of the sum-
mer at the banks of a stream-f1sh-
ing. He loves the freedom of the open
air and he is at home in the widest
woods. He has the nature of an
Indian in this respect. You don't
catch Honus browsing around in the
city or on the streets or in his own
pet little circle of woodmen.
"I have known him personally for
Years and I know that his fondness
for hunting and fishing and life in
the open air has kept him from 60
ing to the discard as a really great
PLAYER. Honus roams the woods from
pure desire. He doesn't worry. He
sleeps a lot and he eats what he
pleases and when he pleases. Ham
and eggs look good to him three times
a day. Between meals he seeks the
open air-either in an automobile or
on foot.
"Honus has poetic nature in this
respect, although he is anything but
a poet But the open air, the trees,
the streams and the wild freedom OF
the woods have fancy for him, and
In this environment only is he happy.
fs it any wonder then that he re-
tains his vigor and conserves much
Of that dash and speed that makes

period, as they did last Sunday. with
corner kicks counting as tallies in
this extra session. If one be neces-
sary. the followers Of each team
cannot see why their favorites do not
win. The Locals are a very fast and
aggressive aggregation, one which is
capable of giving the best in this
country a tussle for victory. The
Rangers are just as fast, however,
and have played many brilliant
games. When it takes four games to
settle the question of supremacy
there is only one conclusion to arrive
at. In the three draws the biggest
score was 2 to ?. which goes to prove
that both teams play close to the
Wind.

said the schedule was excellent. 1t
includes games with the Brooklyn

Philadelphia Athletics, Petersburg
and Richmond, Va. Several other
dates will be added while the Tigers
are working out in the South.

AS for hotel accommodations Smith
said there will be none better any
where. A new hotel, the Savannah,
is being erected and will be finished
when the Tigers arrive. The propri-
etor stated that everything for the
convenience of the players will be
furnished, which means that the
Tigers should be in first-class shape
when the championship season opens
on April 16.
The first exhibition game north will
be played in Brooklyn with the
dedication Of Ebbets Field.
On the following day, April g.,
Brooklyn will be the guests at Wied-

will jump to Petersburg, Va, where
a series of two games will be played.
Richmond will be met at Richmond

On the thirteenth, the locals will

the fourteenth has not, as yet. been
booked, but one will probably be

terday to decide whether a cham
pionship game of tenpins, won with
a ball alleged to be loaded" had
been won fairly. The suit was filed
by the Corinthian Club, winner of the
Eagle cup, the championship trophy
in the 1912 tournament, to restrain
the National Bowling Association
from expelling the club from it's mem
bership and thereby prevent the club
from participating in other organized
tournaments. The club asserts that
the association intended to expel it
because of charges that William Helm,
member of the clubs team, had
used an unfair ball. This charge the
