VETERAN HURLERS
GOING TO MINORS
Many Old Stars Are Either
Taking Bush Positions or
Quitting Game.
by Jack NeiOCk.

International News Service:
NEW YORK, March u. - Some
years ago a rookie pitcher, facing
Larry Lajoie, the terrible French
man, for the first time, turned TO
the arbiter who was umpiring the
bases and said:
What had / better throw i'm"
Put 'er in the groove. Kid" re-
piled the jOkist in the blue uniform,
and Wen both duck"
This is a little yarn that has often
been told, but we are recalling it
here because it tells the story of an
incident the like of which there
have been many in Lajoie's major
league career.
The great Frenchman has passed
from the majors. He will always be
remembered as one OF the greatest
players in the game, if not the
greatest batsman of them all for a
consecutive number of years. But
he will strike terror 10 the hearts of
the pitchers no more.
While the major leasuers were
trekking 10 the southland this year
Larry Lajoie turned his face toward
the north. for he is to manage the
Toronto club in the International
league, and, although he may play "a
few games, the chances are that he
Will stick 10 the bench and the side
lines for the most part
Lajoie, at bat in a pinch, or in any
other situation, for that matter, was
always a bugbear for the pitchers
The veterans as we'll as the verdant
ones feared him. But his trusty old
bat has been hung on the wall.
The mention of Lajoe recalls the
names of several great stars who
are not numbered among the play
ers basking under southern skies as
members of major league clubs.
Old Chief Bender has been sent
upon the trail to the minors, and
ChrisU Mathewson, who will lead
the Cincinnati Reds. does not plan
10 pitch for his team. Mordecai
Brown, who is to continue in the
game as a hurler for the Columbus
club, according 10 a recent an
nouncement by Joe Tinker. is an
other famous landmark of the ma
jors who has been swept away.
Nap Rucker. whose name is i'm
mortalized in Brooklyn, Will draw
his salary from the Dodgers this
year as a scout. and the time is
drawing near when other veterans
who have starred in big league uni
forms for years viii follow in his
wake.
OF the vteran stars. Eddie Plank
of the Browns stands alongside Of
Honus Wagner as a sturdy oak Of
baseball that still denies the ravages
OF time. But the dawning Of retire
ment for both OF these players can
be seen in the offing. They will not
be major league performers for
long.
A pitchers battle between Math-
ewson and Bender OF MathewsOn
and Brown is a thing OF the past.
A ringing hit that brings thousands
OF fans 20 their feet with a shout
for Larry Lajoie is now but a MEM
DRY. And in the places OF these
stars are younger and clearer eyed
