Max Carey, Pirate outhelder. now
can be called the iris Speaker of the
National League, for last season he
performed a stunt that previously no
one else than the great Texan had
been able to do. BY absorbing 41e
flies the Pittsburgher set new rec
ord for the suburbanites OF the older
organization and came within six OF
the number gathered in by Jim
Dunns wonderful drawing card in
1914. Iris was the first American
League outfielder to pass the 400
mark in putouts and Max is the first
National League outfielder to do so,
unless someone turned such a feat
previous to 1901.
Carey by annexing 40 putouts,
practically equaled Speakers record
OF two years ago, for then Tristram f.
played in 157 cOmbats, while this past
season Max engaged IN but 1854 And
Carey was only very briefly in one OF
the contests.
Moreover, Speaker. when he set the
major league record for putouts in
center field, while Carey, in 1916, pas
timed both in the middle mesa and
in the porl pasture playing 137 games
in center, 16 in left and moving from
left to center in one. Center ielders,
game in and game out, have more TO
do than left fielders.
Thomas Takes Back Seat.
Carey, in hanging up a new Ma
tional League record, showed into the
discard the 1906 exploit OF Roy
Thomas of the Phillies, who raked in
373 flies in 147 tussels. Max came
within four Of this total in 1912. Rebel
Cakes within nine Of 1t in 1911, Carey
within 10 OF it in 1913, and Fred
Clarke within IL OF it in 1909.

urbsnites have led in putouts FIVE
