TRADED RUSIE FOR
CHRISTY MATHEWSON
How Giants Obtained Coming Star for
Fading One Back i'll 1901 No
Similar Case Recorded.

The recent celebration by Amos Rusie
Of his 4Ith birthday recalls the deal
which added "Christy' Mathewson to
the pitching staff OF the Giants.
Back in 1901 the Peerless One, -
then entirely unknown to fame and for
tune, was drafted from the Virginia
State league by the management of the
Reds. At that time Rusie still was
pitching for the New York National
league outfit, but was a falling star.
The pilot of the Giants, realizing that
Rusie 5 good arm was failing fast, let
1t be known that lie was ready to
trade Amos, and when the Reds offered
young MathGwson for the veteran the
New York team : man5gerhent snapped
him up. The trade was completed be
fore the 1901 season topened, and it WIS
thus that "Chtists =" made his debut IN
a Giant S uniform that year.
The deal must take rank as one of
the most one-sided in the history OF
the national pastime. To trade the man
who once had been the pitching stan
Of the game for the player destined to
shine as his successor was a bit of luck
that comes only once in lifetime, and
no similar case is recorded in baseball
history.
Rusie had served the New York clul

of his decline. was traded for z youth
with apparently nothing but goo5
physical makeup and ambition to rec
ommend him. That an effort was made
to make a first baseman out of Mai
/ ty'' after he joined the Giants is sui
| fcient proof that his possibilities rs {
i twirler were not dreamed of.
! This trade, however, is one of tn,
reasons why the Cincinnati team never
was able to win a pennant. The jim,
which hung over Redland for man,

the Rusie trade was made, and thu

ONCE A BLACKSMITH,
NOW CLEVER FIGHTER

Les Darcy, the Australian who land
ed a sleep punch upon the jaw of Ed
die McGoorty, is only nineteen years
old. He used to be a blacksmith, but
quit the forge about year ago, when
friends convinced him that a great
future was in store for him in the
fighting game.
Darcy's first real ring encounter took
place last January. His rise in the
pugilistic game has been meteOric. He
is regarded as a born fighter, and Aus
tralians predict that he will rank soon
as the greatest middleweight battler of
all time

the powerful offense of the Phillies.
lis ability to sense the dropping place
of far hit ball, and to be there when
1t falls, is expected to reduce greatly
the efficiency of the long driving bats
of the Phillies sluggers. Little, if any,
behind Speaker in this respect is Hoop
er, whose saving catches in the world S
series of 1912 are still fresh in the
memory of tho fans.
Lewis, IN left field, possesses this same
keenness and speed, but he will not
outciass Whitfield, of the Moran brigade,
by any means. In fact the season s
averages give the Philadelphia represen-
tatlve the better of Lewis in fielding
by 30 points, while the batting advan-
tage of the Red Sox player is but IA
points. Lewis poled out more extra
base hits than Whitfield, but the latter
was faster on the bases by n considera-
bic margin. The latter is also steadier
IN the field, although lacking the ability
to make the spectacular catches with
which Lewis electrifies the fans from
time to time.
Of the two utility outfielders Becker
is the better hitter by more than 80
points, while Henriksen has very
slight margin in fielding. The former
has figured in almost twice as many
games this season as the Red Sox extra
fielder and, next to Cravath, holds the
Phillies record as a home run hitter.
In lengthy drives and speed on the base
paths Becker is superior to Henricksen,
but the latter is surer in the handling
of fly balls and throws more accurate
~ to the infeld
Due allowance must be made, how
ever, for the fact that these outfelds
have played their home games in parks
of widely different dimensions. Many
of the extra hits, especially some OF
the home runs of Cravath, would have
been likely outs if made on a field OF
the size of the Boston Braves park
where a portion of the coming world :
series is to be played. With trio
of the ability of Hooper, Speaker and
Lewis on guard, this is a factor that
must not be overlooked. Conversely
some of the two and three-base drives
of these same players might have gone
for home runs had they been made OF
a short field such as the Phillies hav,
played their home games on this year.

GIBBONS PASSES
UP A FORTUNE
Failure to Knock Out Mcfarland
Costs Him Many Big Purses.
LOSES BOUT WITH DARCY.

St. Paul Boy Could Have Had Battle
For Mideleweight Title In Addition to
Lot of Money Had He Put Out
Packey-He Will Meet Ahearn In
New Orleans.
One more fistic idol was shattered
when Mike Gibbons failed to display
anything out Of the ordinary in his
ten round bout with Packey McFar-
land at Brighton Beach, n. Y, recent
ly. Gibbons missed the chance of his
life by not stopping the Chicago wiz
ard. Had he done so the honors and
money that would have been showered
upon him would have made the $4,000
he received look like a paltry sum.
Instead OF having his praises sung as
the greatest of boxers and his life his
tory printed on every sporting page in
the land Gibbons is now merely one of
many. In the future he will be forced
TO accept ordinary sums for his serv-
Ices instead of the princely amounts
he could have commanded. And it is
going to be a lot harder for him to
win now that his rivals are convinced
that he has been overrated.
If Gibbons had fulfilled expectations
be would then have been in lire for a
match with Les Darcy. with the mid
dleweight title at stake. That would
have meant an even larger crowd than
the recent affair drew, as n decisive
result could have been expected in
that case. Instead of meeting Darcy,
Gibbons viii tackle Young Ahearn in
New Orleans.
Gibbons will receive but a small
fraction Of $4,000 for meeting Ahearn,
and the chances are that when the
match is over the st. Paul mans
prestige will have been further di-
minished. Although Ahearn has not
been given much credit for what he
has accomplished, he really is a great
deal cleverer than Gibbons. Put big
training gloves on the pair and it is
TO l that Ahearn would win off by
himself. With fighting gloves, of
course, it might be different, fol
Ahearn is too frail to withstand much
punishment
Now that the much discussed bout
Is past history. ring followers will turn

search for a man to tackle Jess vii

weeks the big fellows will he very -ac

RAN TEAM BY TELEPHONE.
Novel Managerial Stunt Introduced by
Harry WoIverton.

Something new in baseball has been
inauSurated by Harry Wolverton, man
aSer of the San Francisco club of the
Pacific coast league. The former lead
er of the New York Yankees has been
conducting the field baseball campaign
of the Seals from his bed by the aid
of telephone and telegraph wires.
WOlverton, who was seriously in
jured in an automobile accident, de-
cided that he could manage his team
just as well from the hospital bed as
the bench. Wires were installed from
the Seals dugout at the baseball park
to WolvertOn's bedside, and he was
kept informed of every move of the
opposing teams. When his club was
out of town telegraph wire was sub
stituted for the phone, and the disabled
manager made suggestions, followed
the play and in general dictated the
field policy of the Seals in the same
manner he would have had he been
on the players bench.

NEW YORK, Oct. :. - The outfields
of the Red SoX and the Phillies are ex-
pected to play roles of unusal import
ance in the coming world 5 series be-
tween the Boston Americans and the
Philadelphia Nationals. No other de-
partment of the rival teams can show

iris Speaker and Harry Hooper for the

in order to establish the high standard
of these two outfclds.
AS to which is the stronger in all

is much argument. but such advantage
as may exist is generally conceded to
the Red SoX. Each club has a regular
fielding trio and one utility player, the
