BIRTHDAY OF BIRDIE, CREE
 AND PITCHER HUGH BEDIEzNT

'Birdie'' Cree. the veteran Yankee outfielder who pulled off a come back stunt this year, was born in Pittsburgh just thfrty-two years ago today, Oct. 23, 1882. Birdie who was christened Frank by his parents, was late starter in the national pastime, as he did not begin his pro- fessi ona1 career until 1908. Before that he had made reputation as a hard-hitting outfielder with the Penn syIvania State College nine. Cree's first job was with the Williamsports Pa, Fri -Staters, where he was the swatting sensation of the league, Diff ing the pill for an average Of .332. Toward the close of the 1908 season he was offered a. job in the big league with Norman E1berfe1d's New York Americans. In 1909, his first full season in fast company, Cree swatted only 262. The-next year he hung up batting average of .2S7, and in 1911 Birdie broke into the select company of 300 hitters with average of .348. The next year he batted -332, but he had the misfortune to break his wrist, and in 1913 his average sIumped to .271. Last Winter Man aged Chance decided that Birdie was through as a big 1eaguer, and he was released to the Baltimore club of the International League. Gree was made & flattering offer by the Feds, but re- fused to Jump, ana signed a COnITdCL with the Orioles for $4,5oO a year. After the deal was completed. how ever, Chance had 8 change of heart, and recalled Cree from Baltimore. This season Birdie has been back in his 300 stride. Cree still sticks to Pennsylvania, his native State, and makes his home in Sunbury.

which was a tie; relieving OsBrien in the second contest pitching all of the fifth game, which Boston won 2-1. af- though Mathewson was the opposing pitcher, and starting the final con test, in which he was relieved by Wood. This year Bedient's victories and defeats show a balance on the wrong side of the ledger. It is de- c1ared that Carrigan proposed to in clJde Bedfent in the deal for Vean Gregg, and had it arranged whereby the pitcher, as well as Egan and Johnson would be swapped to the Maps for the left handler. Bedient is said to have declared that he would not go to Cleveland, and the Maps had to take Coumbe instead. It Is not at all likely that Hugh will ever again wear the red hosiery.
