REWARDS
CAREY
Max's Case Is Not Unlike
That of Walter Johnson
Year Ago

Way back in 1911 there came
to the Pittsburgh Pirates lanky,
spindly sl1anked individual who
claimed to be an outffelder.
He was. And two months after
he landed he was as much fix
,ture Of the Smoky City as Hans
Wagner or Carnegie Institute. That
youngster was Max Carey.
Max gave all he had to baseball
with slight reward. Passing
years found his legs slowing a bit,
his muscles gnarIed with effort. But
now, at the flag end of a career,
he is to reap the reward of a
world series.
Perhaps there is a touch of Fate
in baseball after all. Last year
it was Walter Johnson who arose
to fame when he seemed doomed
to end his career without a chance
at the big classics. This year it's
Max Carey. Perhaps there's still
a chance for Hornsby and Sisler
and the other baseball greats who
have never known the thrill of an
auturnn classic.
