we're both shipped TO the minors, While
Mulin. the favorite among them All, was
threatened with dismissal. only to save
himself by twirling a no-hit game. HIS
work for the season. however. was not
convincing enough TO lead the fans TO
believe that he will last through the next
campaign Besides these three, Davy
Jones. George Moriarty and Jim Dele
hanty played only off and on last year
and their retention IS doubtful. Thus has
an old championship team been deci-
mated. leaving only Ty Cobb. Sam Craw-
ford and Ownie Bush TO climb out Of the
wreckage.
The Yankees gave the gate to Gabby
Street, one of the best catchers the game
ever produced. He came TO New YORK
from Washington, where he had worn
himself out in service. Among other
Yankees to go were Jack Quinn, big
JIM Vaughn, Jack Knight and Charlie
Hemphill. The Boston Red Sox bore up
WELL although they provided the hrst

Clcotte. the old pitcher, was shipped TO
the White Sox. preparatory TO his with

BIZ Carrisan was not fast enough to
do much catching in the worlds series,
and young Cady probably will do the
bulk OF the work next season. Bill. how
ever probably will last through another
year as second string man, and the
fans" are hoping that Pape, the pitcher
will come around all right. although
there is not much room for him on team
that contains Wood, Bedient Collins and
O'Brien unless he delivers the highest
brand of pitching.
Matty Mcintyre. the star outhelder Of
the Chicago White Sox. will be missing
from the lineup in the next campaign.
while the three pitchers Jim Scott. DOC
White and Bill Lange have just about
cashed in their chips. Billy Sullivan, who
with Street held the laurels of the Aneri-
can League in catching, is all through as

Is standing at the edge OF the precipice.
In the National League there will not be
quite so many faces missing, but a few
big vacancies will be left. Mordecai
Brown the Mathewson OF the West, who
was the mainstay OF the pitching stan OF
the Cubs. was sent to Louisville. but Joe
Tinker has decided 20 try him out In
Cincinnati. Along with Brown. of the big
machine, have gone Holman. the centre
fielder, and Frank Chance. while Stein

before with Orvie Overall and Jack
Pfester Ed Reulbach is holding on by
the skin of his teeth, making his expert
ence count as a relief pitcher. The Cubs
took Tommy Leach and Lefty" Leificld
from the Pittsburgh Pirates when Fred
Clarke found no further use for them.
and II is doubtful whether Johnny Evers
can give them regular work next season.
Mike Donlin has been shunted all
around the circuit, now being member
of the Phillies, after playing with New
York Boston and Pittsburgh since his
return to the game. So long as his bat
ting eye sticks TO him he is valuable as
