Live on $4,000 Salary Of
fered for 1884.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 1e.-Red
" Faber will throw the spitball
no more for the Chicago White
Sox. but he is in the market for an
other major league job-because Of
salary differences with the club he
served for 20 seasons.
Last night. however. Faber in a
telephone conversation from his home
in Cascade, Iowa, said the Sox had
asked him to take too big a salary
reduction. He said he had returned
his contract unsigned and when he
heard nothing further from the club,
just walked in and quit" There
were no Ill feelings, he insisted.
Lou Comiskey. president of the Sox,
said he considered he had made Fa-
ber a fair offer, a contract calling
for $4,000 for the 1894 season, with
a clause providing for a bonus of 81
600 If the club had a good season
financially. He said Faber had told
him he could not live on that salary.
Comiskey expressed high regard for
Faber and said he would be given his
outright release so that he could ne
gotiate with some other club.

II coming back to Florida, play
ing his golf and getting ready
for the next campaign.
There is a feeling down in this sec
tion that this will be the Babes last
training trip for ball players cam
paign.
He may come back again-back in
1935-but the odds are none too keen.
As this may be the Babes final ad-
venture in the land that Ponce de
Leon dedicated to youth, it is only
natural that Florida wants to see hlm
in action once more.
Ruth is one of the great swingers
of base ball. He isn't a hitter, but
true swinger The ball player who
came nearer to his style than any one
else was Shceless Joe Jackson. Ruth
still insists that Joe Jackson was the
greatest natural swinger he ever saw.
Ty Cobb and Iris Speaker back the
Babe up in this belief.
Another great natural swinger was
/ Wildfire FRANKIE Schultz, and you can
add Iris Speaker to this list. Cobb
was never a swinger and neither was
Willie Keeler.
But when the Babe takes that big
52-ounce bludgeon by the end OF
the handle and starts it in motion
there is no element of hit. 1t is all
swing. And that is one reason he
has stepped into so many strikeouts
You can't stop a swing or check it..
You can check hit.
The Babe will get one Of his big
gest receptions when he takes the
field for the campaign of 1884. After
IS years, they want that last look at
him as an active hall player-if 1t
should happen to work out that way.
Later on they probably will be well
coming him as manager for some
years to come-but it is the old crash
of the ash that still carries its appeal
to the populace at large.

1t was under Florida skies Is years

as a left-hander he set up the best
five-year pitching average ever known
1t was 1919 that marked his debut
as an outfelder and slugger. There
is an interesting story in connection
with this. The star hitters up to that
time had begun, after fashion, with
Willie Keeler, and had carried on

They belonged to the scientific

n YEW YORK, February 19.-
nj John j. McGraw, hard
bitten fighter of base ball
for more than 80 years,
today was battling the ravages
of disease.
Suffering from uremia, he was taken
to New Rochelle Hospital three days
ago. His condition. although some i'm
provement has been noted. remains
serious.
The attending physician DR.. Louis
B. Chapman, said the base ball leader
was in no immediate danger, and that
there seemed, at this time at least, to
be no necessity for an operation. He
pointed out. however, that McGraw's
age-he will be 81 on April Twas a
factor that must be considered.

throat prevented him from attending

from his home in Pelham for the Ma
tional League schedule meeting.
Illness Caused Resignation.
TIE ATTEMPTED to attend to his
II usual duties as vice president
at the Giants offices in Man
haitian, but a severe cold finally forced
him to remain indoors. On Friday Dr.
Chapman decided to send him to the
hospital.
Ill health was the major reason for
McGraw's dramatic resignation as
manager of the Giants on June 3,
1892. Handicapped by illness and ad-
vised by his physician not to make
any more road trips with the club,
McGraw stepped down with the Giants
in last place. Bill Terry, first base
man, succeeded him and completely
rebuilt the team at the end of the
1882 campaign and came back with
club which won the National League
pennant and the world series last
year.
Although vice president of the club
and e heavy stockholder, McGraw
never interfered with Terry's handling
of the team. He has remained in
tensely interested in the Giants, of
course, but has made no attempt to
control the clubs policies on the field.
Passes Up Vacation.
TOR the first time in many years
r he did not take his usual vaca-
ton in Havana this Winter. In
stead he remained in town and was
at the Giants Offices almost daily at

Baltimore Orioles. McGraw joined the
Giants as manager in the middle Of
the 1902 season. The club finished
eighth that season, but McGraw led
the Giants into second place in 1903
and Won pennants in 1904 and 1905.
From 1902 through 1881, his first and
last full years as manager, McGraw's
teams won 10 pennants and three

ond division only twice, in 1915 and

way he could have been whipped was
through just what happened. And
until knocked out he had just as big a
lead in the third round.
