Warhop Breaks In.
Warhop, whose real name is said to be
Flynn, though he is looked upon as an
Indian, never left the major league
once he entered it. He pitched his first
game for the Yankees September 10,
1908, at Detroit, beating the champions,
who had George Mullin on the slab, by
score of s to 8. If he is an Indian, the
scene at his initial game was in keep
ing with his supposedly wild nature.
Smoke from Michigan forest fires dark
ened the park and gave the surround
ings weird appearance. He did not
finish the game, making place for Wal
ter Manning after the fifth inning. He
pitched his first full game at St. Louis
September %. He got sound beating.

the rubber. winning by a score of II
to !. Then he defeated Washington, 2
to 1, but he met the same team little
later and was beaten, / to 0, in eleven
inings, Walter johnson pitching against
him. This was his last game of the
season of 1908. Warhop is still with
the Yankees, who consider him first
class man, using him sometimes as a
pinch hitter and several times as an
outfielder.
At Detroit in 1909 Moriarty started the
season at third base. There was dis
work of Claude Rossman at first base,
and in August he was traded to the st.
Louis Browns for Tom Jones. But be-
fore the deal was consummated Moriar-
ty was asked to cover first base, and
so again got glimpse of the sublist.
In 1910, however, Moriarty took abso-
Lutte possession of third base. For the
first time in his life he gained steady
position, and no doubt he breathed more
freely. He fell into the infield nicely
with Jones at first, Jim Delehanty at
second and Owen Bush at short. 1t ia
fact that one Of the most valuable
subs had changed to one Of the best
third basemen. He has covered third
base for Detroit from that year to this
and no attempt was made to oust him,
because there was nobody within call
who could replace him. Billy Louden
could not do it in 1912, nor Charley
Deal in 1913
Two other inield positions changed
occupants, but not third base. Del
Gamer succeeded Tom Jones i'll 1911,
Jones being sent to Milwaukee. Dele
hanty, at second base, was succeeded
by Paddy Bauman, Oscar Witt and lately
by Martin Kavanaugh..
