Mike Quit One Hot Day Back
in 1909 When CantiIIon
Had the Nationals.
BY WILLIAM PEET.

Washington baseball fans probably dc
not remember the day Mike Kahoe
Griffs handy scout, sang his swan song
at National Park, threw away his catch
ers NIT, and said to his pals: I've gone
behind the bat for the last time in my
life"
Kahoe pulled this Adelina Patti stunt
back in 1909, late in the season, during
the Cantillon regime, and strange to re.
late Walter johnson was the pitcher on
that occasion.
Those were the good old days, back in
1909. Gee. but things were breaking tough
for Cantillon. Manager Joe pulled on
more weird trades, won less games, and
had more trouble than any Washington
manager before or since.
There was a lot of internal dissention
on the club. Trouble makers a plenty.
Cantillon that year swapped Jimy Dele.

Schaefer and Red Killifer. Bill Burns
was turned over to the Chicago White
Sox for Old Jiggs Donohue, Nick Al
trock, and Cravath. Ganley was sold at
the waiver price to the Athletics, Jerry
Freeman shipped to the American Asso-
citation, and to cap the climax Dixie
Walker was purchased from the Zanes-
vile. Ohio, team, and everybody expects
ed him to develop into a second Walter
johnson.
But TO return to the last appearance on
the baseball stage of Mike Kahoe. The
writer remembers the day well. Cantillon
was shy of catchers-Blankenship and
Gabby Street were both nursing sore
digits and refused to work. Street fin
ally agreed to catch a few innings. and
started the game.
1t was one of those dark, dog days
when johnson had nothing but smoke,
and was tipping 'em over with the speed
OF mauser bullet In the fourth inning
Street sent out distress signals Mike
Ka.koe was on the bench and Cantlllon
made him relieve the talkative one.
Mike bad done very little work that
season. He was used more to warm up
the pitchers and occasionally pinch hit,
than anything else.
Two out of every three balls that
johnson shot over landed in Kahoe's
glove, only TO drop out. Only couple
Of stolen bases went to the credit of the
visiting team. for only two visitors
could get on the bases. but some how or
other. Mike stuck II out, finishing the
game.
Ten minutes after the final man had
been retired Kahoe's left hand was
swollen the size of ham. In the dress
ing room he sought Cantillon and coolly
informed him that 50 far as catching was
concerned the Washington ball club
would have to struggle along without
liis services.
