Make Up Giants Big Three

NEW YORK, Sept 3O.-Reunited
after many years of glory and strife on
the diamond a great trio of baseball play
ers has brought the New York Giants
| through this seasons battles for the pen
nant. John McGraw, Hughey Jennings,
| Jesse Burkctt-the names of all three
are written at the top of the list of base
balls heroes.
McGraw is finishing his goth year as
manager of the New Yorks and in this
year he has had as first assistant Jen-
nings, his old team mate on the old team
of Orioles of Baltimore and Burkett, as
the second deputy. The individual rec
ords of this trio at bat and afeld stands
out among the greatest in the history of
the game.
Burkett has never had the good fortune
to manage a major league pennant win
ncr but AIcGraw has piloted the Giants
to gOOdly string of flags and Jennings
won three pennants with the Tigers
AlcGraw was a third baseman, first
with the great Baltimore club and then
with st. Louis and when he landed in
New York he retired as an active and
became leader one of the foremost
in the annals of the game. Jennings
was a ShOrtstop-frst with Louisville
then with Baltimore and finally with
Brooklyn. His work as manager in De
troit came to close with the season
of 1920.
Burkc,t came to the Giants in 1890 as
q pitcher but was converted into an out
fielder because he could not control his
left handed shoots. And as an outfieIder
with New York, Cleveland and st. Louis,
The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1921-09-30

Burkett made history as one of the most
| able batsmen in the game.
| The batting records of McGraw, Jen.
nIngs and Burkett, combined, represent
| y years of hitting over the 800 mark
| in the big show. Burkett batted better
than 300 for II years, McGraw for nine
and Jennings for secen. Burkett. was
the mightiest of the trio and in 1895 he
batted .423-a mark second only to
Hughey Duffy's .43S of 1894.
McGraw's top average was 800, in
1899, the year that Ed Delehanty finally
succeeded in his long effort to go over
the 400 mark with an average of .4OS.
Jennings did his best work with the bat
in 1896 when he hit 1897. Titans three,
indeed.
Burkett went to Cleveland in 1892 and
saw his club beaten for the National
league pennant by Boston. 1t was not
until 1895 that Burkett was arrayed
against both McGraw and Jennings, in
the Temple cup series.
With Burkett playing a heroic role
with the bat, the Spiders took the meas
ure of the pennant winning Orioles that
fall. Cleveland won four games and
Baltimore only one. In 1896 it was
Baltimore against Cleveland again for
the Temple cup and once more it was
AlcGraw and Jennings against Burkett.
This time the Orioles cleaned up with
out losing a game. They took four
straight, finishing the series with Il to
. shutOut on the grounds of the Spiders.
Baltimore was in the series again in
1897 but Cleveland had dropped back
and Boston fought the Orioles for the
old trophy. The Orioles won that final
for the Temple cup.

| BaSeDall Closely.
| SARANAC LAKE, n. Y, Sept. 30
| Christy AIathewson, for - years the lido
| of baseball fans in America, remained at
Saranac Lake today, while thousands OF
baseball enthusiasts gathered at the Polo
Grounds, New York city, scene of many
of Mathewson's triumphs in baseball, to
pay tribute to him.
MathewsOn, one of the greatest pitchers
known to baseball. past or present, has
been here for more than a year fighting
the greatest battle of his life-that against
tuberculosis. The hero of championship
races in the National league and of world S
series too, was anxious to attend the tes-
timOnial to him but because of the long
distance he would have had to travel and
the confusion which would have attended
the demonstration for him had he done
so, he was persuaded to remain here. In
spirit, however, he was there.
Showing the same high purpose and
iron nerve that carried him to victory in
many gruelling baseball struggles and
placed him on the highest pinnacle in base
balls hall of fame, Mathewson today is
winning his fight for life. \ year ago
last July Mathewson came here in quest
of health. He was here only short time
when he became seriously i'll. He was in
bed for IL months.
But Mathewson has fought in the sick
bed as he had fought on the baseball
fields. And today his battle for life ap-
pears to have been equally as successful
as has struggles on the diamond. Today
MathewSon looks like the MathewSOn of
old. He appears to be in normal weight
and so greatly has he improved in health
that now he is permitted to take automO-
pie rides and short walks in the village.
He'll soon be allowed to go anywhere.
Last month was perhaps one of the
happieSt in Mathewson's life. On August
II he was Il years old. And, he says, it
was his happieSt birthday He passed the
day quietly with Mrs. Mathewson and
their son, ChriSty, jr., and received mes
'ages from all parts Of the country, con-
graduating him on his long uphill fight
.or health, and wishing him a speedy re- |
,Overy.
Despite his long illness. baseball is still /
he subject closest to Mathewson's heart. |
de has followed very closely the pennant !
aces in the two big leagues and has often |
desire to see the local team in /
teton, having become greatly interested
n the fortunes of the Saranac Lake club
his year.
New York's feat in coming from he
lind in the National league race and
passing Pittsburgh brought much joy to
'lathewson, as did telephone conversa-l
ion he had with John McGraw, manager
+ the Giants, after New York had de
Gated Pittsburgh in the second game of i
heir last series in Pittsburgh. 1t was ash
member of the New York National
eague club under McGrawjs management
hat Mathewson achieved his greatest
onors in baseball.

WASHINGTON, Sept 30 Belief

Secretary Mellon, discussing tax legis-

in revenues. Mr. Mellon said he he
