PIRATE CAREY
ISAFAST Man
Leads All Fielders of the
National League in Ac-
curate Catching.

So far as the figures OF averages
go. Max Carey. OF the Pirates, IS the
best all around man playing the out
field in the National league.
Whether he is the most valuable
depends on other qualities, such as
mentality, spirit, coming through in
a pinch and other invisible factors.
The averages do not tell how many
runs he batted in or how be batted
in cooperation with base runner and
with men on bases-wherein the av-
erages are deficient-but he is better
in the combined arts of batting. run
making, base stealing and fielding
than any other fielder.
He doesn't hit as well as Roush,
Burns or Kauff, or make as many
runs as Burns, but he is within four
points Of 300 in batting and he stands
fifth in run making Therefore he
rates high as an offensive players,
especially as he far eXcels all others
in base running He is, in addition,
the fastest outfielder in getting to
first base except Robertson.
On defence he tops all others by a
toy margin. He had 440 putouts last
season, which is So more than the
next best-a margin which proves
that he covers more ground than any
of his confreres. He had more assists
than any other outfielder except
that next to the volatile Brooklynite
he has the best outfield arm. Granted
that in disposition, tractability and
team play Carey is adequate, he is IN
questionably the best ball player in
the National league Outfield-

MAGNATES
DIG DOWN DEEP
Philadelphia Teams Lose
Valuable Players and Fans
Support, However.

By digging down into their pockets
the owners Of two big league baseball
clubs show they are full Of optimism
as to the future Of the national game,
regardless of the war. But what OF
Philadelphia? asks Henry P Edwards
in the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The owners Of the Phillies sold their
greatest assets, Alexander and KILL
fer. while the Athletics parted with
three OF the only four real big lea
guers they possessed. should visiting
delphia next season, they will have
such a condition. And IL may be sew
eral years before either club will be
rebuilt to the extent that the fans will
forget and forgive.
In 1889 the owners Of the Cleveland
National league club transferred their
stars. including Cy Young, Pat Tebeau
Mig Cuppy. Lew Criger. Jess Burkett
and others to St Louis. leaving this
city with a team Of misfits that were
on a par with what Connie Mack has
left of his Athletics. The misfits
played so games here to crowds that
numbered only a few hundred and
then finished the season as a road
team.
That act killed Cleveland as a Ma
1onal league town, and the next sea-
son the American league made its en-
trance here and gave Cleveland a
more prominent place on the baseball
map.

NAGNATE HURTS

President Weeghman's Eff
forts to Buy Pennant Not
Popular With the Fans.

In a review Of baseball matters by

sun appears this reference to the
much discussed Alexander ilIifer
deal:
1t seems to be the prevalent opin-
ion that Weeghman's efforts to buy a
pennant winner areshurting the ma
tional pastime. The tempting offer
OF big money that induced the Phila-
delphia club to part with Alexander
and Kllifer has been roundIy scored
in that city. Weeghman announced
a year ago that he wanted Alexander,
Whereupon the famous pitcher de-
manded a $4,000 salary from the
owners OF the PhiIlies.
The Chicago magnate has not de-
MED he offered $500 for Hornsby.
Of the Cardinals. and a similar
amount for Carey and Mamaux, OF
the Pirates. 1t also is true that
Hornsby has held up the Cardinals
for a $4,000 salary, wnlIe Carey
threatens to retire unless Dreyfuss
comes across with more money.
Weeghman has made offers for other
National league players through the
newspapers, with the result that the
men he desires have grown discon
tented and want to play in Chicago.
It cannot be charged that Weigh
man has openly tempered with certain
stars, but 1t is admitted that their
employers do not relish the Chicago
mans methods.

Recruit Fielder Of Giants
Discharged for Knock

Jack Hendricks the new manager Of
the Cardinals has one distintion that
is probably unique in baseball history.
He was released from a major league
team for hitting the ball too hard
Long ago, when the Giants were
slumping. Hendricks, then considered
the best OF college batsmen. was sent
for in q hurry and Joined them in
midseasor. He played his first game
against the Reds. From the very
start he was a success and hit .353
in his first dozen games.
At this time Andrew Freedman, who
didn't know much about baseball ex-
cept the business end, was running
the Giants. A flock OF the older
Giants went TO Freedman and told
him that the heavy hitting Of the
new player had demoraIized the fans;
that the bugs were Joshing and re-
Wiling the older players; that 1t would
be impossible 10 maintain harmony in

ANSIVERsARY OF PEACE PACT

One of the most important treaties
Of peace ever signed was that docu-
ment to which Representatives of the
National and American leagues at

today, thus putting an end to the
disastrous warfare which had been
waged between the rival major
leagues The Peace OF Cincinnati"
will probably be the historic name of
that pact agreed upon at a confer
ence in the Ohio city on January II,
1908. During the seasons OF 1901 and
1902 the leagues had been at swords
points. to the disgust Of the fans,
who hailed with delight the decision
to quit playing politics and 10 play
ball instead Harry G Pulliam. who

the era of sweet peace Hermann.
acting as mediator, brought presi-
dent Ban Johnson, Of the American
league, into line. There was consid-
cradle friction over the distribution
Of players. but all differences were
adjusted for the sake OF harmony.
That the fans appreciated the change
from war TO peace was shown by the
increased attendance Of 1903. Five OF
the eight National league clubs made
money that year, whereas most Of
them had lost heavily in the two pre-
ceding years. In the American league
all the clubs, save Washington and
Detroit, broke even or made money,
and the losers were not much out Of

Troeh's Shooting Was Brilliant.
While the performance OF Mark
Arie at the grand American handicap
tournament made him the outstand-
ing figure of tee 1917 trapshooting
season, Frank Troeh and o. N Ford
do not want to be sighted when
bouquets are being showered- Arie
won the all around amateur cham
pionship, the national amateur cham
pionship; was runner-up in the ma
tional doubles championship and tied
for the grand American handicap. He
had a run Of los from % yards and
averaged better than 81 for the week.
He did every thing that was possible
for one man TO do in a weeks time.
He was given credit for it. Attention
will now be devoted to a few others.
TrOeh in the washington state
shoot broke 285 out Of 800 targets,
broke 395 out of 900 in the Oregon
state tournament and 402 out OF
500 targets in the California state
tournament, closing out with an
unfinished run OF 49,
In this tournament, too he had a
run Of 242. In the Oregon tourna-
ulent he had an unfinished run Of 147
and at Portland, Ore, later he COM
piled 162. In the international shoot
at Toronto he broke i66 straight and
III straight on successive days and
at Chicago he made the highest run
during the grand American-162. His
victory in the south shore introduce
tory, when he broke 1873 out of 200
targets. finishing with 107 straight
from IS yards, is a next door to be-
ing perfect. But for the miss on the
92d target Troeh would have had a
run OF 81.

THAT trapshooters are becoming
more proficient each year Is
= evidenced by the remarkable
number Of long runs made. Records
are compiled only Of the runs Of 50

were 1888 runs between 80 and ~,
ss1 runs between 70 and 90 and SIS
runs over 100, a total OF ssz5 runs OF
