Little Pirate Ranch" near
Winfield.
After leaving the big leagues,
he sponsored sandlot baseball
in Winfield, and served non-pro
baseball for 10 years as national
president of leagues.
Followed Game Closely
He continued to follow base
ball and all sports avidly by
radio. television and news
papers.
To be a major Lacquer. he
said you've got to love base
ball and want to play it above
all else. You have to take every
opportunity to practice and
play and not be discouraged.
The most important thing is
desire"
Clarke suffered a fractured
hip four years ago and, al
though he recovered, he had to
use crutches and wasn't able
to get around much. He re-
entered st. Mary's Hospital
August S. His physician said
death was caused by pneu-
monia.
Clarke is survived by his
widow, Annette; two daughters,
Mrs. D. j. Donahoe Of Ponca
City, Okla. and Mrs. Neal Sui
livan, Newkirk, Okla; eight
grandchildren and a great
grandson.
The funeral will be Wednes-
day morning in Holy Name
Catholic Church in Winfield.
Born on Iowa Farm
Clarke was born October 3,
1872, on a farm near Winterset,
Iowa, and was 81 when he
joined the Louisville National
League club in 1894. Earlier he
had decided that baseball was
a more attractive career than
farming, a decision that was
influenced by a trip to Omaha
to see a professional game.
During his long major league
career. Clarke, Wagner and
Tommy Leach played on the
same team most of the time.
1t was Clarke who turned the
great Dutchman from an out
fielder into the best Of all short
stops. and many years later he
shifted Leach from third base
to center field.
In the first decade of the goth
century. Clarke'S Pirates ranked
on a par with John McGraw's
New York Giants and Frank
Chances Chicago Cubs. And
Clarke generally was rated as
about the equal of those great
managers.
AS a player, he batted above
300 eleven seasons. Twice he
stole so bases, and eight times.
30. Five times he scored more
than 100 runs per season.
Once Batted .4O6
In his best year, with Louis
vile in 1897, he batted .406.
When he stepped down as
Pittsburgh manager after the
1915 season, he, McGraw and
Chance had won 13 straight
pennants between them.
Clarke was 2 years old when
his family moved to Kansas in
a covered wagon. They re-
turned to Des Moines five years
later-and as a boy he was a
catcher for the Des Moines
Mascots and Des Moines Stars,
managed by Ed Barrow.
He ran away from home to
play for Hastings, Nebr., in 1892,
because his parents didn't think
it right to play baseball for
money. He switched to the
outf1eld because that was what
Hastings needed.
He went to st. Joseph, Mo-,
in the old Western League in
1898; to Montgomery of the
