Konetchy broke into professional
baseball when he signed with La

off the reel he made good. Three years
he spent there, gradually improving as
a murderous hitter until the St Louis

price reported to be $500. He never
went back after that He finished the
1907 season as the Cardinals first base
man and stayed with that club until
traded by Miller Huggins to PITTSBURGH.
He played a full season with the Pirates
but jumped ut the end OF the year to
the Pittsburgh Federals.
When peace was signed between the
