.MACEE'S RETURN
FORM A MYSTERY
Turned Down by Everybody
Two Years Ago Now One
Of Stars in League.

Baseball is face to face with a deep,
dark mystery. 'Stealthy Steve, the
Six-Eyed Sleuth," may have to be put
on it's trail, if the world of fandom
is ever to know what was the matter
with Lee Magee in 1916 and 1917. Or,
if there was nothing the matter with
him in those two years, what's the
matter with him now?
From a star batsman and demon
fielder in the Federal League, Magee
dropped to mere fizzle as member
of the Yankees and was shunted to
the Browns. Fielder Jones guffawed
at him and shunted the punk fielder
and worse hitter to the eds. Every
body thought Christy Mathewson
crazy.
Today Magee is close to the best
second baseman in the National
League and one of it's leading bats
men. He crowded Davy Shean off the
Cincinnati Reds and threatens to close
the 1918 campaign as the champion
slugger of the Tener circuit. Every
game adds to the wonder of it all, and
nobody laughs at either him or his
boss now.
SCI just couldn't get lucky break
in the American League says Ma
gee, seeking to find a plausible ex-
PLANTATION for the mystery. During
my first year with New York I was
sick a great part of the time. Last
season I injured my leg and then
my shoulder. should have laid off
,, and gone home to rest, but I was
anxious to show I was a big Lacquer
and made no protest when asked to
play, even when I should have rested
SCI am only twenty-eight years old
and not ready for the discard. I am
| off to a good start this spring be-
cause my health is good, and I am
sending me to Cincinnati for that is
my home town, and 1 am. playing
under pleasant conditions. That's al
have to say"
But the mystery still continues. In
! deed, Magee's whole career is amaz-
ing. He was considered a fair, ag.
gressive player with the Cardinals
when he jumped to the Feds. With
Brooklyn he hoped right out in from
and such a shrewd judge as Clarl
Griffith believed him better thar
Benny Kauff Then he fizzled witt
the Yankees, only to come back will
both feet under the management Of
Christy Mathewson.
1t just must be put up to "StealthJ
Steve" that's all.

Especial to The Times. }.

Waterbury May 2s--Paul Krichelrs
league leading Americans made it
the sixth straight here this afternoon
by winning over the local outfit by
to 1. Owing to the failure of League
Secretary O'Brien to notify Manager
Hinchman that the game was trans
ferred from Bridgeport to this city
after the schedule had been arrang-
ed, the crowd was the smallest that
has ever attended a league contest az
the local park.
The Park City club played the same
sensational brand that has marked
their last five victories. The work
Of Grimes at bat and the work of
Braun at shortstop, was the best seen
here this season. Dick Tuckey, the
Naugatuck hurled, was on the mound
for the locals and was hit freely in
the early innings. Lennon twirled
for the visiting club and while he
allowed the same number of hits as
did Tuckey, he kept them scattered.

Here and There

Old Ty Cobb has been feeling more
like himself since he is back in the
800 class.
Hughie Jennings performs the
same old stunts on the coaching
lines, but the fans never get tired of
them.
Jim Thorpe, as pinch hitter, is
best when there's no one on base
When the sacks are crowded and he's
called upon, he usually can't hit a
thing.
Every once in a while when things
get dull for Benny Kauff the an
nouncement is made by somebody
that he's about to be drafted.
Jack WARRIOR, one time pitcher of
the Yankees, is making good as a
shortstop with the Toronto club. He
played that position for the Maple
Leafs last season for considerable
period.
There have been many queer de-
velopmentS and freakish plays in the
history of baseball, but the one that
takes the cake was staged in Muncie,
Ind, % years ago tomorrow. A big
crowd of fans witnessed the peculiar
game, which was a regular pennant
contest between Muncie and Ander-
| son, both clubs of the Indiana State
! League. The remarkable chapter of
the contest was confined to one in
ming, when the Anderson players
made six hits, three triples, double
and two singles, without scoring a
single run. This seems impossible
but it is true and this is how it was
done:
Ireland, the first man up, landed on
the leather for a triple, and tried to
get home on g passed ball, but was
caught at the plate. One man out
No runs. Wiswell up. He landed for
another three-bagger. When he
reached the third sack he kept right
on running, trying to stretch it to a
homer, but the ball was reIayed in
time to get him at the plate as we'll

was foul and didn't rush to get it
When it finally percolated through
his Uranium that the ball war fair
Derby was on second. Shumway wa:

club made three triples, two single

bloomin' run.

My Dear Sir-We beg to inform you
that beginning October /, the rents in
your house are to be advanced. The
new rate for apartment No 504 which
you are now occupying will be $1,400.
AS we are now having many appli-
cants for these apartments, will you
kindly let us know at the earliest pos
sible date If you wish to renew your
lease?
We hope that you will remain with
us and will be glad to make any re-
pairs or decorations that may be
necessary. Very truly yours,

up with a gasp of dismay "Surely
they won't charge fourteen hundred
for this apartment"
Sounds as though they're going TO,
doesn't it?'
And this is the middle of septem-
Der. Why, Warren what can we
do?"
PAY it-or get out. of course. Don't
give us much time, though. You see
that's dated July 15-came while we
were away, and got mixed in with
some papers at the office. Didn't
come across it till this morning"
Then it may be already rented.
Since they didp't hear from us, they've
probably leased it TO some one else"
