MANY VETERANS

viii stop.
Somehow or other Terry Turner Is
not often thought OF as a veteran
Even in the winter tanning bees
when baseball obituaries are being
written the little cotton-topped third
baseman from Cleveland is usually
neglected.
Yet Turner Is one OF the veterans
OF the league. Also he is one OF the
real stars Of the game and has been
for dozen years. But there is some
thing about Terry which prevents
him from being considered as a real
veteran.
For II years Turner has been in
fielding at Cleveland. He played short
stop alongside OF the Incompatible
Lajois for several years. Most Of his
games, however. have been played at
third
Perhaps the most remarkable thing
about Turner is his even tempered
disposition, which did not allow even
the nerve racking Internal dissensiou
on the Cleveland club to throw him
off his stride.
For q dozen odd years Turner has
been the anchor of the Cleveland club.
For that period he has been one OF
the really great infielders Of the
league.
He has never been rated as a great
hitter, but in Is years in the league he
has batted for a grand average Of
more than .260-very good for an in
fielder.
Last year Turner turned in his 34th
milestone. ripe old age in baseball
Yet in AZ games at second base he
fielded trifle better than Eddie Col
Inns, and in a games at third was
only one point lower than Oscar Witt
leading third sacker Of the league.

McGinnity Again On Stage

Is Manager of Butte Club

How long McGinnity viii continue

and reserve strength no man can say
Certainly his four hits to Vancouver
in the first game of May u did not
indicate that he was slipping so that
II could be noticed with the nsSsed
eye.
What makes McGinnity's record all
the more remarkable is that he was
prodigious worker while in the
majors. He began with Baltimore in
1893, when he was known as the Iron
Man, because. it is said. he owned an
iron mine IN the Indian Territory
Later he earned the title by his abil-
ity to pitch double headers-and win
them He helped Brooklyn win a PEN
nant in 1900. when the National
league was reduced to eight clubs by
dropping Washington, Cleveland,
Baltimore and Louisville.
He went to theGianfS In 1902
and had his great y1Blr in 1904.
in that seaiSn - pitched is

won 81 out OF 80 games. IN 1904
his Iron Man title was clinehed
by winning both ends of double
lenders from Brooklyn, Phila-
delphia and Boston.
McGinnity finished in the National
league in 1909, when he was released
by New York He bought an interest
in the Newark team, and pitched
right along there until he went to

~UTTE, Mont, June Keeping a
squirrel on the ground is
II minor detail compared to keep
ing Joe McGinnity from pitching and
winning double headers. Joe was the
original Iron Man of baseball. He
was known by that name when he
was with Brooklyn in the second year
Of his major league career in 1900.
He was with Baltimore in 1893.
JOe's latest feat, in this, his
18th year since he broke into the
majors and hts 20 year on this
mundane sphere, was TO pitch
and win both gumes of a double
header for Butte against Van
cOuver, In the Northwestern
league.
Joe has been in the northwest since
he sold out his interest in the New
ark lnternationals in the winter OF
1878, and has been pitching and
managing there, having more success
in the playing than in the dir ing
end. He first bought an interest in
the Tacoma club, but has been with
Butte two years.
This latest feat OF AIcGinnity was
the result of a fit OF plque. His pitch
ers had been going SO badly that he
became disguised and told them he
would show them up. He did, by win
ming two games in one afternoon. In
the first game McGinnity held Van
couver to four hits-three singles
and double-and Butte won by
three to one.
In the second game Vancouver

and a tripIe-but Vancouver made

This Is RowlanSs third season at

Rowland came 70 the White Sex

managers for as q rule the club
owners do not go foraging around in

he came up from the rank and file
Rowland was not received with any
great splurge, even in Chicago.
The baseball scribes had u

and some OF theE were bold
about expressing their views.
Rowland didn't do much his first
year ont, but last year he fin
ished strong second to the won
cerful Red SOx. keeping his club
IN the race most OF the way.
So far this season the White Sox
have been strong contenders, though,

hits-thanks mostly 70 great pitching.

of the pitchers is going to be almost
as big as all outdoors. Meanwhile,

regrettable thing.
The governor discriminate4
against Darcy on pure hearsay.
He termed Les a Stacker and gave
him no opportunity to dfsproTe
the charge Then, when other
governors followed suit, Darey's
troubles multiplied. Darcy should
not have been condemned for
wanting to provide for his family
at home before facing the treneh-
es, because As he once said. Few
OF the boys ever come back
Before he started IN TO do his bit
perhaps give up his life, he wanted
TO provide a comfortable future for
his old mother and father.
Richards statement that Darcy was
in his opinion, every inch champion
was a well deserved tribute. for the
Maitland boy was a physical marvel
a master Of ring craft and a rugged
battler. He wasn't vicious fighter
for the pure love OF viciousness IN

and the good humored twinkle never
