MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April 1.-THE
| showing of Jimmy Clabby, the Ham
mond middleweight, against Billy Mug
| ray, the Pacific Coast 15S-pounder, be-
fore Jim Coffroth's club at San Fran
| cisco, was rather a disappointment to
his many friends, although when every
thing is considered it is not surprising
that Murray was able to travel the
twenty rounds with the Indiana boy. 1t
may be that all the trouble Clabby had
in Los Angeles affected his work for
this match, otherwise his friends ex-
pected that he would win decisively over
Murray, who is practically a. newcomer
in the ranks. Jim Coffroth stated a
couple of weeks ago that he considered
Murray one of the most promising boys
Of his weight, and he has. certainly
proven the assertion. According to the
accounts sent out from the coast, Clabby
outpointed his man, but the referee in
summing up the affair at the end of the
twentieth round considered the aggres-
s1veness of Murray and gave him the
benefit of a draw II the accounts as
sent out are correct, Clabby had the best
OF at least seven rounds. while Murray
had only three. but judging fight at
distance and being on the spot is a very
different proposition, and the referee no
doubt had cause for giving the verdict
he did. 1t is a foregone conclusion that
Jimmy will hereafter take the best Of
care of himself, and be better prepared
for battles in the future. 1t also means
big boost for Mr.. Murray. and he must
now be classed among the contenders
for the crown.
Despite the fact that Battling Levinsky
lost to Bob Moha in Milwaukee a couple

BY JOHN n. GRUBER.

Edward J. Delehanty was one of the
grandest ball players that ever she'd
luster on the game. This must be ad-
mitted by all who saw him in action on
the ball field. He was big, strong and
full Of energy. As batter he had few
superiors, II any, and as a fielder he
was classed among the very best. At
the same time it will be conceded by the
old-time fan that there was no more
indiscreet and careless individual in his
habits than this same Delehanty, who
crossed the mystic boundary between
life and death rather suddenly, and had
nobody to blame but himself for the mis-
adventure. When he dropped into the
Niagara river. while the bridge was
open, he was in the zenith of his repu-
tation. His drop. though it caused grief
among his intimates and sorrow among
the fans, gave a stern lesson to ball
players to avoid the shining bar and the
brass footrail.
Delehanty was born at Cleveland April
30, 1867, and began his professional ca
reeT in 1886 with the Mansfield, Ohio,
team as catcher. and remained with the
team during 1887. In the latter year he
caught the delivery of George England,
a one-armed pitcher of Pittsburgh. and
a friendship between them was born that
did not end until the death Of Delehanty
England was an intelligent and strong
pitcher. but was handicapped by the loss
Of his left arm, and therefore never left
the minors. After the close of the sea-
son of 1887 he prophesied that his friend
would in short time be playing in the
big league, and would make good.
Signs With Wheeling.
In 1888 Delehanty was signed by the
Wheeling club AL Buckenberger. who
in 1887 played second base for the cham
pion Kalamazoo team of the Ohio State
League, was then the manager of the
Wheeling team, and placed Delehanty al
second base, a position Ed successfully
covered for the Mansfield team at ODD
times the year before. Early in the
season Harry Wright. manager of the
Philadelphia National League team
heard of the cleverness of Delehanty
and bought his release for $1,000. It had
been Wright's intention at the start OF
the season to place Charley Ferguson
on second base. Charley, as all will re-
member. was one of the best all-round
players in base ball. He could pitch and
win. could faultlessly play any position
in the in or out field and could bat and
run bases with the best of HEM But
he died April %, 1883, much to the re-
gret and disappointment of Harry Wright
and more SO of the ball lovers. Charley
Bastian had been the regular second
string. Therefore, Delehanty. when ac-
quired. was placed at the keystone cor
ner. and at once realized England's pre-
diction. He made good.
In 1889 Delehanty began at second base
for Philadelphia, but the season was bare

ever afterward. although he frequently

Does Some Jumping.
Delehanty. in i>e". following the ma
jority of other .:srs deserted the Ma
tfonal League and went over to the PLAY
ers' League, joining the Cleveland branc n
Of the brotherhood. He made a triple
somersault. After going over to the
Players League he returned to the Ma
tional League and then once again
jumped to the Players League.
| After the war closed. in 1891. Dele
hanty. according to the peace conditions
was compelled 10 re-enter the fold of the
1 Phillfes. and remained with them for
eleven years. This period is the brightest
in his history. He was steady. reliable
player and a terror to pitchers all of
whom he hit with equal freedom.
In 1899 he led the National league bat
| terS with an average of .4O6. and in 1S.~;
he equaled the individual batting record
made by Bobby Lowe two years previous
!
a single. total of seventeen bases. He
made this record off Bill Terry in a game
against Chicago August IL. 1896.
Delehanty was never connected with a
| champion team. During his stay with the
Phillies the latter's best finish was third
place. This was in 1895. and he that
year, and for four succeeding years led
his team in batting.
Leaps to Americans.
In 1902. after eleven years of successive
| service with the Philadelphia club, Dele
hanty jumped to the Washington Ameri-
can League club, the fourth leap in his
base ball life. He was not the only
jumper from the PhiIlies. and these deser-
tions left the Quaker team in a woeful
predicamene With him went the flower
of the team, among the jumpers being
Monte Cross. Elmer Flick. Harry wolver-
! ton. Jack Townsend, William Dugglebv

.Delehanty continued with the Wash
ington team in 1909. of which Tom LOTUS
was then the manager. The outfield was
rather shaky. and Ed was shifted around
| to any old place in the outer garden and
apparently did not relish the system. Til.
Washington team played at Detroit JuiN
>. and then left for home to meet the
Cleveland team in two games July T. In
stead of going the entire distance from
Detroit to Washington with the team
Delehanty took a side excursion to Buf-
falo, and on the morning Of July T. 1895
crossed bridge with the draw open. Ed
rapidly tackled to the end of the chasm
and then fell. His body was recovered.
and his family sued and got damages
from the bridge company. He was buried
at Cleveland, his home.
