St. Louis National League Team Has a Sure Comer in Lee Magee recruits who have made good in bid leagues No. 4—LEE MAGEE. (This is the fourth of a series of 8 ,-tides on youngsters who made good in the big leagues the past season.) By Sam Crane. lEE MAGEE, of the St. Louis Cardinals, is a youngster who won his spurs as a big aguer last season. His resem , ance in face and form to the fa ous Ty Cobb is marked, and die he may not attain the repu tation of the wonderful Tiger, he is H new player who gives great promise and is on the high road . fame in his chosen profession. Magee has all the characteristics . a marked degree of an up-to ,;ate ball player —the speedy kind. He is by far the fastest man on the Cardinal team and one of the host all-around players Manager Hr. stiahan had in his line-up. He will take all kinds of chances on the bases and has won many games by it- fleetness alone. He was played mostly In the out field during the past season, but oc aslonally filled in at infield posi ions and invariably made good. While playing second base for a while during the disability of Mill er Huggins he played so well that difficult position that Bresnahan ■ad no scruples in endeavoring to make a trade with the Cincinnati lub which included the disposal of 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 an Impression the fiery, energetic youngster had made with his man ager. The situation is different now. Rresnahan having been released and superseded as manager by Miller Huggins, the player he tried to trade. The conditions now will probably prevent Magee securing a permanent infield berth, but with out doubt he will be played regular ly in the outer garden, where he is bound to make a hit. For a youngster, Magee’s batting fast season was little short of phe nomenal. He played in 124 games, was 446 times at bat and made 130 »afe hits, giving him a batting rec ord just a shade inside the .300 mark. Magee is a great ground coverer In both the in and outfield. His wonderful speed enables him to get long drives that it would be impos sible for slower runners to get near. He has a splendid arm and was the best throwing outfielder on the Cardinal team. He is an enthusiastic youngster, ambitious and full of pepper. When h> started with the Cardinals late in 1911, his youthful exuberance ■ aused him to take almost too many chances, but it was a com mendable fault, and under the care ful coaching of Bresnahan he has “America’s Finest Train** Well-trained waiters deftly 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 seasoti. 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. The fans of the Mound City consider him one of the FODDER FOR FANS William H.

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.

That is the wonderful record of Dexter Very, the speedy right end of the Penn sylvania State college eleven, who is be ing mentioned as an All-American end. Very plays football because he likes the game. No player ever got into more scrimmages. Even in 1911. when he cap tained 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 years at Mercersburg academy put him in excellent condition. In that time he 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. From the very first he made the varsity team. Very has gone through his .seven years of football without wearing any heavy armor. He does not believe in shinguards, headgear or heavy pads. He is a wrestler and is unusually strong. PRESIDENT OF CARDS QUITE READY TO QUIT ST. LOUIS, Nov. 20. —President .1. C.

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 lias 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 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 deckled 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 n<> 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 purchasjp the releases of Bender and Oldring or to induce me to make a trade for these men. I desire to say pos itively that neither Bender nor Oldring is on the market. I intend to retain both of these players for next year.” DUFFY BESTS THOMAS. CLEVELAND. OHIO .Nov. 20.

New Yorker May Give Clarence English Surprise In Battle Friday Night YOUNG MOTTO’S WORKOUT PLEASES LOCAL FANS By Left Hook. ACCORDING to a number of lo cal boxing fans who 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 F iday 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 he will be able to give the fans a 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 club, 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, and he really means to give Atlanta box ing fans the best bouts he can se cure. z“x NE middleweight will be eliml 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.

A light drill is planned for tomorrow and the eleven will then leave for Farming ton, Conn., where it will remain until Saturday when it -meets Yale at New Haven in the deciding clash of the year. The team is "on edge’’ for its Yale game and Brickley, the wonderful hooter, is placing the hide between the cross bars with startling regularity in games against the scrubs.

Ihe way the scrubs tote through the ale line in practice yesterday gave the coaches much to worry’ over today and it seems certain now that two or perhaps three subs will replace the regulars with the starting of the game. PumpeHy, whose wonderful drop-kick ing the last few minutes of play Satur day saved the Blues from defeat, seems a certainty for one of the guard positions. Gallagher, sub . nd. may replace Bomeis ler, whose injured shoulder and knee threaten to keep him out for a time.
