ger Mcoraw Once Sent Him
Back to Minors.

Dick Rudolph, star HEAVIER Of the
Boston Braves, has been pitching for
IA years, but the passing Of time
doesn't seem to feaze him.
He started pitching for Fordham coll
lege back In 1905, and two years later
he was on his way to stardom as
member of the Toronto club Of the old
Eastern league, after having had bit
of additional seasoning with semi
professional club at Rutland. VT, and
with New Haven In the Connecticut
league.
His first full season with Toronto
was a busy one, for he took part In
81 games, winning ID and losing eight.
After that he developed rapidly, and
on three occasions won more than 20
games a season for the Maple Leafs.
In 1911 Rudolph was given trial
by the Giants, but John McGraw did

mistakes McGraw has made In judg-

his contract. In his first start Of the
season he beat the Reds, letting Matty's
team down with one hit, and he proved
conclusively that he has lost none Of

chase his release from the Braves for
$4,000, but could not put the deal over.
