Sf. Louis National League Team Has a Sure Comer in Lee Magee RECRUITS WHO HAVE JUDE GOOD IN BIG LEAGUES No. 4—LEE MAGEE. (This is the fourth of a series of articles on youngsters who made good in the big leagues the past season.) By Sain Crane. LEE MAGES, of the St. Louis Cardinals, is a youngster who won hie spurs as a big leaguer lefet season. His resem blance in face and form to the fa mous Ty Cobb is marked, and while he may not attain the repu tation of the wonderful Tiger, he is a new player who gives great promise and is on the high road to fame in his chosen profession. Magee has all the characteristics to a marked degree of an up-to date hall player—the speedy kind. He is, by far the fastest man on the Cardinal team and one of the best all-around players Manager Bresnahan had in his line-up. He will take all kinds of*chances on the bases and has won many games by j itis fleetness alone. He was played mostly in the out- j field during the past season, but oc casionally filled in at infield posi- I rions and invariably made good. While playing second base for a while during the disability of Mill r Huggins he played so well that difficult position that Bresnahan had no scruples in endeavoring to make a trade with the Cincinnati club which included the disposal of I Huggins; but the deal fell through owing to the objection of Mrs. ' Britton, the owner of the Cardi nals. Made Hit With Bresnahan. It was Bresnahan’s intention to play Magee regularly at second base, showing how favorable tn Impression the fiery, energetic | youngster had n ade with his man- The situation is different now. K’-esnahan having been released ■nd superseded as mnniyer by ■ ■,filler Huggins, the player he tried to trade. The conditions now will probably prevent Mage-, securing permanent infield berth, but with out doubt h< will be played regular 'y in the outer garden, where he is bound to make a hit. For a youngster, Magee’s batting l last season was little short of phe- I nomenal. He played in 124 games, I was 146 times at bat and made 130 safe hits, giving him a batting rec ord just a shade inside rhe .300 •nark. Magee is a great ground coverer it; both tile in and outfield. His wonderful speed enables him to get or g drives that it would be impos- • sible for slower rur.nf J to get war. He has a splendid arm and the best throwing outfielder on tir- Ct. rdinal team. He is an enthusiastic youngster, ambitious and full of pepper. When he. started v.i:h the Cardinals late in 1911, his youthful exuberance .used him io take almost too any chancer, but it was :• com- : mendable fault, and under the care ful coaching of Bresnahan In has ; ■>iiiiv hmmtw • — -«iw.i»'y w.i i»wm If TZWWW ~i --■' r i -.—.„• .111 wir, 1- —rr.iniT - ~r.-.ir:.-.i.-i.j.- .«■ j.n—r ■■■!.. i ’ * me rica*s Finest Train *’ I ■ Well-trained waiters deftly r serve “Fred Harvey” meals in newest model dining-cars.

Magee is a clean-cut youngster, built on the lines that denote speed. He is rangy and quick in both mind and body. He was unusually suc cessful the past season against the Giants, and it was rumored that Manager McGraw proposed a deal for the youngster during one of the Giants' trips to St. Louis dur ing the season, but Bresnahan turned the offer down. He was in big demand by other National league managers as well. Magee is a most willing boy. He was anxious to learn, and never failed to take the advice of his manager or players with more ex perience than he. He Is a very popular youngster with his fellow Cardinals and with the St. Louis baseball public.

Magee played with the Louisville, Ky., club of the American associa tion during the season of 1910 as second baseman and shortstop. At second base he played 115 games and made the remarkable fielding average of .949. having 719 chances and accepting all but 37. His bat ting was comparatively weak as a Colonel, though, he having an av erage of .215. In 1911 he was sent to Seattle, and played there until Bresnahan secured him for the Cardinals the latter end of the season. He played eighteen games at second base in 1911 as a Cardinal and had the very high fielding average of .975. He batted at a .261 gait.

A ery plays football because he likes the game. No player ever got into more scrimmages. Even in 1911, when he cap tamed the State eleven, he would not rest as is customary in some of the early week scrimmages. He insisted upon get ting in. every play. Three wars at Mercersburg academy put him in excellent condition. In that time lie never missed a game and went through each season without so much as a severe bruise. Then he started his college career at Pennsylvania State in 1908. brom the very first he made the varsity team. Y ery has gone through his seven years < f football without wearing any heavy armor. He dees not believe in shi'nguards, headgear or heavy pads. He is a wrestler and is unusually strong. PRESIDENT OF CARDS QUITE READY TO QUIT ST. LOt’IS. Nov. 20. i'resident J. C.

I MACK MUSES HALF INTEREST IN ATHLETICS PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 20. According to an official an nouncement issued by Con nie Mack, of the Athletics, he owns half of the Athletics’ stock and the grounds at Twenty-first street and Lehigh avenue. Mack is securing the recent stock, now shares with the Shibes the entire ownership of the Elephants. The deal by which Mack has dou bled his baseball holdings makes him one of the largest owners of baseball stock in the major leagues. Connie secured his additional stock from Frank L. Hough and Samuel H. Jones, who have been directors of the Athletics since 1902. In announcing the deal Mack said: "The proposition to sell out their I interests in the club by Messrs. Hough and Jones was made some time ago, and it did not take long for us to come to an agreement as to what their shares were worth. They disposed of their stock in the club, as well as in the ball park, to me. so that I now have a one-half interest In each. How much money was involved In the deal I would not care to state.” When Messrs. Hough and Jones decided to sell out President Shibe made no efforts to get any of the stock. "Uncle Ben” made it one of his Ironclad rules when he con sented to become a magnate In 1901 that he would n.ot own more than 50 per cent of the stock. He is said to consider that no one had a better right to purchase the stock than the man who had spent so many years in bringing champion ships to Philadelphia. Manager Mack also set at rest some reports that have been In cir culation about his players. ‘When in the West this week," said Connie, "I saw In newspapers that Manager Callahan, of the Chi cago club, was trying to purchase the releases of Bender and Oidring or to induce me to make a trade for these men. I desire to say pos itively that neither Bender nor Oidring Is on the market. I intend to retain both of these players for next year.” DUFFY BESTS THOMAS.

New Yorker May Give Clarence English Surprise In Eaft.e Fr.day Night YOUNG MOTTO’S W6RKOUT FLEASES LOCAL FAN By Left Hook. A CCORDING to a number of lo cal boxing fans w.ho saw Young Motto work out yes terday, the unknown young gent from New York is likely to give Clarence English the surprise of his life when they clash at the Dixie Athletic club Friday night. The writer was not present at the workout, but from reports I have heard Motto showed a lot of fancy boxing as well as a kick in both hands. Well, I hope that lie will be able to give the fans n good run for their money, for Atlanta followers of the game sure deserve a heap of good treatment for some of the bunk that has been handed them in the past. The Dixie club verily means to get the best men possible. Henry Norton, who was president of the Gate City elub. is president of the new organization, but Henry has ridded himself of some employees who did not break their backs in trying to see that the game was run on the level. Norton was simply inexperienced when connected with the Gate City club and listened to bad advice. He has learned his lesson now, am' he really means to give Atlanta box ing fans the best bouts lie can se cure. • * • /“xNE middleweight will be elimt nated in the dash to determine the championship of the class when Billy Papke meets Frank Klaus De cember 4 in Paris, the place made famous by Georges Carpentier and the fashions.
