He averaged seven strlke-outs and
about one and a half bases on balls

five games be did not give a pass,
and in fifteen others he gave one
pass per game, some of these con
tests going into extra innings.

career with Columbia in the Cotton

The Atlanta Grays have copped every

MAJOR MAGNATES
APPEAR TO BE
MONEYMAO
By Sam Crane.
NOTHING can show better to
what extent commercialism
and the grab-all policy that
superseded the sentiment that
once existed for baseball than the
stampede by all hands who think
they have a possible 100ß-in to the
golden harvest that the next world's
series is expected to produce.
It is nauseating to one who has
the welfare and permanency of the
national game at heart to see the
money mad, hysterical efforts be
ing made to share in the “divvy”
by those who have no right at all
to be declared in on It.
"To the victor belongs the
spoils” should be the motto adopt-;
ed for all world's series. It has
been so in the past and ought to be
in the future.
What sportsmanship is there in
fourteen clubs, with the players be
longing to them, getting a "whack"
at world's series receipts, that they
did not do anything toward winning
except to play against the two
clubs that came out ahead in their
respective leagues?
Why, it is the most ridiculous
ti ing ever heard of and entirely
foreign to ail past ethics of sport
ing contests in which superior abil
ity stamps the winners and showers
qn the victor all the honors and
emoluments.
Big Scramble For Spoils.
The $490,000 that was taken in at
the gates of the Polo grounds and
Fenway park during the battle for
the world’s pennant between the
Bostons and Giants has caused
such a frenzied scramble by rabid
ly hungry club owners and players
to sink their hands Into the grab
bag that they have made them
selves the laughing stock of the
country.
By their clamor to get their
hooks on money they have abso
lutely no right to have covered
themselves with ignomy and the
national game as well.
What reasonable argument can
the clubs, other than New York and
Boston, advance that they should
share in the world's series receipts?
They surely had an equal chance
with the Giants and Red Sox to
win the championship of their own
leagues.
Because they did not have a Mc-
Graw, Mathewson, Marquard,
Doyle, Murray, Stahl, Wood, Speak
er, Hooper or Wagner was no fault
of the winners.
Both the Red Sox and Giants
won the pennants of their leagues
on their merits, and there was not
a flaw on their titles and right to
play for the world’s championship.
Something to Play For.
What is any athletic contest but
to decide the best man or team?
The instant that any of the fruits
of victory are shared by the loser
or losers then the spirit of rivalry is
eliminated and there is no contest.
The matter comes down to a pos
sibility of connivance or suspi
cion of it anyhow, and then good
bye to Interest, and when that is
killed what is left to promote the
sport or to perpetuate It?
That the Giants, Cubs and Pi
rates have uniformly won cham
pionships of the National league is
no argument that they should share
with their less successful rivals.
They have had teams of superior
ability.
The other clubs have had the
same opportunities as was in
stanced by McGraw making a win
ner out of the Giants, a team that
when he took charge of it was
close to being a tail ender.
We do not hear of any of the
rivals of the Giants, Cubs or Pi
rates throwing up their hands and
retiring from the baseball business.
And why not? Simply because the
Giants, Cubs and Pirates make the
other clubs a most profitable living.
It is not luck that gives the “big
three” their success; i,t is superior
ability in all departments, even to
club ownership.

No. 11—Jim Delehanty Put Little Rock on the Map
By Fuzzy Woodruff,
ON the pages of baseball his
tory the name of the houfee
of Delehanty is written in
letters as glistening as the re
sounding monikers of the house
of Hapsburg or Hanover or what
ever near-beer name you choose on
the annals of Europe.
The Delehanty family is to the
national pastime what the Booths
and the Drews are to the stage or
the McCutcheons to Indiana liter
ature. Five brothers of the clan
Delehanty starred as big leaguers
and four of .these graduated to the
majors from Southern fields, which
gives the Southern league an av
erage of .750, considered fairly good
by even the most requiring of base
ball experts.
Os course, the greatest of these,
the incomparable Ed, the hardest
hitter the game ever knew, did not
graduate from the South. That
was before a Southern education in
things baqpballic was made popu
lar by T. Cobb and N. Rucker and
a few others. He knew of Dixie,
though, from his elder brother,
Tommy Delehanty, who second
based and outfielded t’ight here in
Atlanta in the early nineties. He
afterward went to Cleveland.
But he was a sincere admirer of
the educational methods employed
in Dixie and each of his three
younger brothers were told by him
to go South, young man, before
they aspired to conquer things in
the big tent.
Jim Delehanty, next in fame to
Ed, had a remarkable Southern
league record. He put the town of

Little Rock on the map and he also
wiped it off.
All of which is some considerable
feat for even , a demon athlete of
Jim’s prowess.
Little Rock, it may be known. Is
the home, abiding place and polit
• leal stronghold of William M. Kav
anaugh, perpetual president of the
Southern league, with a Yew other
titles in baseball in general.
When Jim Left Town Died.
It might be supposed that the
esteemed Judge Kavanaugh was to
some extent responsible for Little
Rock's athletic name and fame.
Not so, for he couldn’t keep the
Arkansas city as a railroad stop in
the Southern league after Jim Del
ehanty had departed that clime.
Even the mighty Tris Speaker tried
and he, too, there registered his
first, last and only failure.
Little Rock was considerable of
a baseball burg in the days of Del
ehanty. Those were the early days
of the reorganized Southern league.
Mique Finn was manager there and
for several years Mique used to
fight it ont to the finish, first with
Newt Fisher, then with Charley
Frank, for the pennant. He failed
to land, but he always answered
"present" when roll was called for
the select company at the close of
the season.
All this time Jim Delehanty was
playing various infield positions
and whanging the whatever is the
proper name for the nether regions
out of the pill. As long as Jim
stayed Mique won. When Jim
went Mique was helpless. Finn
strayed to Toledo, then came back
South to Nashville, where he failed,
and never prospered again until
last season with Mobile. May-
be he had forgotten all about Dele
hanty by that time.
Delehanty Went to Detroit.
Delehanty’s big league career Is
well remembered. He made a slow
start, but afterward became one of
the most formidable of the Detroit
Tigers. His too close touch with
the revolt spirit after last season’s
famous Ty Cobb incident caused
his undoing and he dropped out.
The other two brothers, Joe and
Frank, each had big league careers
after working In the South. Joe
played splendidly for Memphis and
was called* up, but drifted to the
Eastern league. He lost his throw
ing arm, though, and was canned
by Buffalo.
Frank Delehanty was the stormy
petrel of the Southern league. He
started with Montgomery and
played a prominent part In a player
revolt there. He went to Birming
ham and made things miserable for
old Harry Vaughan. Clark Griffith,
then of the Yankees, thought he
could tame him, and took him to
New York. He was untamable.
He played with Louisville a few
years ago when Louisville won a
pennant. Since then he, too, has
passed.
But. all in all, the South never
knew greater baseball men than
the brothers of Ed Delehanty.
“There could be no better medicine
than Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. My
children were all sick with whooping
cough. One of them was in bed, had a
high fever and was coughing up blood.
Our doctor gave them Chamberlain’s

them, and three bottles cured them,”
