Since breaking into the big show Byrne has played with three clubs the Cards, Pirates and Phillies- and he has performed yeoman ser vice for all three.
 Never a terrific hitter. but con- sidercd one of the best fielding third basemcn in the game. Byrnc has al- ways been looked upon as a highly valuable player. His "baseball
 brain" and his fielding were his chief assets. and it was with regret that National League fans heard of his release. Milton Stock is tho reason for Byrnes retirement from
 baseball, for when Stock made good with the PhiIs. Pat Moran had to play Byrne on the bench, and last
 season he took part in but forty eight games.

 youngest players who has ever an
 nounced his retirement He is but 32 years old, where most players
 who retire after nearly eleven years of service are older by several
 years.
