CONNIE MACK, Holding the scroll that accompanied the annual $10000 Bok Award, which was voted to the manager of the World Champion Athletics as the man who had rendered the most outstanding service to the city of Philadelphia in 1929.

Spalding Official Base Ball Guide 11; ' CONNIE MACK VOTED BOK AWARD. Philadelphia never voted a man prominent in Base Ball an honor as great : as it voted to Connie Mack; in fact, there is no city that had voted a greater -$ : honor to any Base Ball man than was granted to the veteran manager of the ;; Philadelphia American League Club when it was decided to present him with the $10,000 Bok Prize for having rendered the most outstanding service to the city of Philadelphia during the year. The award, in the form of a check, was accompanied by a medal and scroll. З\^ ~ <The presentation was made privately after a dinner attended by the Bok Award Committee and prominent citizens. In other years the presentation was made a public affair, but the usual exercises were dispensed with because of the recent death of Mr. Bok. Mack, who had been in Florida, was accompanied to the dinner by his son, ! Connie Jr. But none of the Base Ball warriors who carried him to his fourth ;: .w world series championship was present. In selecting Connie Mack, the trustees of the Philadelphia award departed ~';' . from precedent. Of the eight men, two of whom are now dead, who were i. .recipients of the award, two of them were honored for their efforts in the -fil4 t fducation; one in music, one in science, and four for their achieve- ;-4' \ i .l~ i*e field of art or aesthetics: . . .. d ,:' A Stokowski, conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra; Dr. Russell ;-? . tBf mwell, late president and founder of Temple University; Samuel S. lieisher, founder of the Graphic Sketch Club; Dr. Charles Custis Harrison, .late provost of the University of Pennsylvania and President of the Board of .:: ' RTrustees of the University Museum; Samuel Yellin, master worker in metals; Dr. Chevalier Jackson, professor of esophagoscopy and bronchoscopy in the Jefferson Medical College and hospital; the Rev. Dr. W. Berbert Burk, rector ,!'..- of the Washington Memorial Chapel at Valley Forge; and Eli Kirk Price, Fairmount Park Commissioner and chairman of the Building Committee of . - ..... .the Philadelphia Art Museum on the parkway.) Connie Mack, as manager of the Athletics, has won seven American Leagtue ; pennants and four world championships. He flew his first flag in Philadel- phia in 1905, but suffered defeat in the world series at the hands of the ;:r :~ .i ~ Giants, four games to one. - ,By 1914 the Athletics had reached the peak of their power. At that timte . i i.- '. ' Mack had assembled his famous $100,000 infield, composed of John Mcinnis, i, ! first base; Eddie Collins, second base; Home Run Baker, third base, and Jack Barry, shortstop. The Athletics, considered invincible at the time, sue-, ceeded in winning another flag for Mack, but met disaster in the world series,:; losing.four straight games to the Boston team developed by George Stalling s..i-i: - Mack then startled the Base Ball world by dismantling his nine and ':sd- :s ing his stars to other clubs in the circuit. He announced that he would begin. ': to build all over again, but he never dreamed the real immensity of his task. For fifteen years Mack struggled to piece together another championship ^ team, and hundreds of players were given a trial by him. Not until 1928k .- ' ! : . after hundreds of thousands of dollars had been spent on ball players, did -,;: Mack again succeed in moulding a machine appoaching championship caliber. 'I !'* . . -.

PITCHING FROM ITS EARLIEST DAYS 35

I I -

30 Spalding Official Base Ball Guide Pitchers tried to jerk the ball-to throw underhand and at the same time to make it appear that they were pitching. Finally the rulemakers gave it up and adopted the underhand method. No sooner had that been adopted than the pitchers began to encroach upon it by a side-arm motion. Argu- ments about pitching became so common that the rulemakers at last gave up in despair and adopted such legislation as permitted a pitcher to do anything with the ball that he could-toss it, pitch it, jerk it, or throw it, and there the matter rests today. The most important development in pitohing during this formative period was the discovery that the ball not only could be curved but that it could be : controlled so as to make curve pitching effective. That was also one of the most important changes in the history of Base Ball. For the benefit of Base Ball fans who may be curious as to historical refer- ences and information in regard to pitching, the Editor of the Guide presents its rule changes as they occurred from time to time, and as they were of enough importance to have a direct bearing on the development of the game. In 1858 the pitcher was confined behind a line 15 yards from home base and four yards wide. The pitcher was permitted to take a short run. The present wind-up of the pitcher is to some extent the counterbalance to the loss of the run. There was no called ball penalty in 1858. The batsman could swing at the ball, or let it alone, and time was no object, although there were objections when games were prolonged, and dull, as there always " have been. As Base Ball improved, rules like these were too crude for the players and there were frequent demands for a general overhauling of the code, which took place in 1863. Henry Chadwick is responsible for the revision and was foremost in making the more radical changes and departures from the primi- tive rules. In 1863 the pitcher's position was designated by two lines, four yards in length, drawn atright angles to- a line from home plate to second base, hav- ing their centers at two fixed iron plates placed at points fifteen and sixteen yards distant from home base. Here is the humor in that rule as compared with now. The old time rule read: "The pitcher must stand within the lines, and must deliver the ball as near as possible over the center of the home base and for the striker." Imagine the modem pitcher aiming all of his time for the center of home plate. To his last day Father Chadwick rather favored that style of pitching because he wanted the batter to be in action constantly. He thought called balls showed a pitching weakness. Called balls were introduced into that last rule change, three balls allowing the batter to go to first base, although the balls were not called in constant succession as they are now. The pitcher, after he had pitched awhile, had to be warned by the umpire that he would call a ball. That rule of 1863 explicitly stated "the ball must be pitched, not jerked or thrown to the bat." In 1867 the pitcher's box was established. It was six by six feet and the pitcher could run wild inside of it and deliver the ball from any angle that pleased him.

32 . Spalding Official Base Ball Guide - seven, and in 1886 at six and the size of the pitcher's box was increased to seven by four feet. Still legislating to do something with the pitching, which bothered the rulemakers most of all, the pitcher's box was made four by five and one-half feet in 1887, the number of called balls reduced to five and the number of strikes increased from three to four. Bases on balls were recorded as base- hits and an obvious attempt to foul the ball was penalized as a strike. Thus it will be seen there was an earlier foul strike than that which is generally called the foul strike at this time. The four-strike rule lasted but a season. It had accomplished nothing worthwhile. In 1889 the number of called balls was reduced to four and in 1895 a foul strike rule was adopted. I In 1893 the most far reaching change that had been made since the dis- i covery of the curve ball was put into effect by the National League, when the pitching distance was increased to sixty and one-half feet and the pitch- ing slab established with dimensions of 24 inches by six inches. This change ' Зwas put forward partly because of league politics and ostensibly to curtail the growing power of the pitchers. In its practical working out it had just the opposite effect. It made great pitchers of those players who quickly dis- , covered they could "break their curves" much better at the new distance than at that which had been in force. Again desiring to restrict the effectiveness of the pitcher the present foul strike rule was adopted in 1901. At the same time a rule was put into effect - which brought the catcher continuously under the bat. The invention of the 'big mitt had made that possible, and after the mitt came the chest protector and the shin guards, all helpful to the work of the catcher, who had lost his fearfulness of standing under the bat and played the position with as much confidence in the new way as an outfielder played his. . , The pitching distance has not been changed since its last extension at the meeting in Chicago. The restrictions on the pitcher are very few compared with what they have been in the past. The pitcher cannot take morethan one step forward in delivering the ball and must have one foot on the plate when he throws it, nor is he permitted to have either foot back of his plate. Umpires in small leagues are remiss in this latter rule of fixed position. Too ,, often beginners are allowed to put one foot behind the plate before they deliver the ball to the batter. That is never permissible. З Зi' All pitching legislation has been to restrict the pitcher's effectiveness in order to make the attack of the batter more assured. There always has been ,- , war between them. Whenever the game has seemed to be one of restricted -::' . runs the tendency of legislation has been to try to create more batting and . A' more runs. The batting in 1929 proved that the batter has, for the moment :: > at least, overcome the skill, strength and strategy of the pitcher. ^ The question being discussed, and which will probably continue to be dis- cussed, is whether the game of more runs is superior to the game of fewer . runs; whether the home run with recurring frequency is better than the game of one run only, or two; whether the spectators prefer scientific batting to scientifid pitching. It is in the mind of the Editor of the Guide that no man is far seeing enough to give a capable decision on this point. It is far better to take Base Ball, as its rules give us directions to play it, and our players i's - . . .:.. L ->:'. , : . ' , * ' ,З * , . ! ' l ' ^ id |.. Ef ; ' "

T40 Spalding Official Base Ball Guide >"' would win two; but they won neither. Then followed the ride to Philadel- phia, with victory for Chicago in the first game, the third of the series, and the near victories for Chicago in the fourth and fifth games played in Phila, delphia, the elation in Chicago for six innings of the fourth game and the hurrah in Chicago for eight innings of the fifth game, to be followed by sudden depression in the West as the thermometer of victory dropped to the / bottom of the tube, while Philadelphia gasped between paroxysms of joy and shrieked with hysterical elation. For the first time since the beginning of the series the last two games were "pulled out of the fire" by the same club. The heroic manner in which they were won distinguished this series from all that had preceded it. Until the last half of the seventh inning of the fourth game, Chicago had a substantial fI - lead in that contest. Philadelphia made ten runs in its half, something un- precedented in a world series, and won the contest. Nor did the Athletics make another run in the game. In the last half of the ninth inning of the fifth game, Chicago being in the lead, Philadelphia made three runs and won both game and series with odds against them. that were high enough to be thought insuperable; but they were not, and again it was demonstrated that in: iathis game of Base Ball there seems to be nothing impossible. President and Mrs. Hoover became so interested in the series after the finish of the fourth game on Saturday, with its cyclonic ten-run inning, that they telegraphed Commissioner Landis of their desire to be present at the fifth game, which was played on the following Monday. They arrived in Philadelphia about noon, accompanied by several guests, and were escorted directly to the park, where they saw the Athletics win the series by their ninth-inning rally. For a large part of this victory Haas was instrumental, with a beautiful home run drive over the fence on the first pitched ball and a runner on the bases. The series of 1929 was in direct contrast to those of the two preceding years. In each of the latter the New York American League team had won in four successive games. First it was Pittsburgh that had felt the weight of the Yankees' overwhelming attack, and then it was St. Louis. The Na- tional League hoped that the record of the year 1929 would be different. Its members began to get blue when Philadelphia won both games at Chi- cago, but grew amazingly more hopeful after the victory of Chicago at Phila- delphia, only to be smitten and left breathless when the Athletics wrested what seemed to be certain victory from the Chicagos in the fourth game, and then won the fifth with a more inspired rally, leaving in the wake a line of disappointed National Leaguers who were staggering under the suddenness of the blow, and as wild a crowd of Philadelphia admirers as ever burst into cheer and song to recite the praises of a ball team. In 1927 and 1928 the autumn Base Ball post-season games were not a cheering series. In 1929 there was no undue hilarity at Chicago, but there was pandemonium at Philadelphia. The series was successful financially. All of the reserved seats were sold at the very first opening of mail orders. Had there been more seats to be jS- ' sold it would have been easy to dispose of them. To speak of the financial success of a world series simply means that it describes something which is F s 3

With two out and two runners on the bases, Jimmy Foxx, first baseman for the Athletics, drove the ball over the bar- rier in left field for a home run in the first half of the third inning, a blow which the Cubs never were able to overcome. - Malone started to pitch for Chicago and made no headway. He said after- ward that the wind was against him. Earnshaw started for the Athletics and fooled quite as completely as Malone, except that he escaped a knock. out timely hit by one of the Chicago players similar to that by which Malone was driven to the bench. After these early pitchers there were Grove for the Athletics, against whom the Chicagos did nothing, and Blake, Carlson and Nehf for the Chicago team, against whom the Athletics did plentj. Malone struck out Bishop and Haas in the first inning, gave Cochrane a base on balls and struck out Simmons. His speed was fine. Two runners got on the bases for Chicago in the first, but Cuyler was struck out by Earn- shaw for the third hand out. The Athletics had two men on the bases in the second but did not score, and the Chicagos had one. Then the third inning began. Bishop and Haas were easily retired on hits in the air. Cochrane singled to right field. Simmons was given a base on balls. Foxx lifted the ball over the fence. Only a few minutes befori the stands had rung with applause for Malone because he had retired the Athletics on strikes. Now there were murmurs of dismay. Miller struck out. The Chicago half of the third was an odd jumble. McMillan was given a base on balls and English struck out, trying to advance him. Hornsby was out on strikes. Wilson and Cuyler were given bases on balls in succession. and there was hope for Chicago, but Stephenson lifted a very weak fly to left field and Earnshaw, the Athletic pitcher, had escaped a reef by a wink. The Athletics made three more in the fourth. Dykes began with a hard single to right field. Boley sacrificed, pitcher to first base. Earnshaw hit to English and the shortstop fumbled again. Bishop was given a base on balls. Haas hit to English and the Chicago shortstop dashed back to second base to try for a double play which wiuld prevent 'a run from scoring. He succeeded in retiring Bishop only, while Dykes ran home. Cochrane got a base on balls, and when Simmons singled through the pitcher's box, scor- ing two runs, Malone was taken from the game and Blake went in. Foxx lifted a long fly to Cuyler, but the damage had been done to Chicago. In the fifth inning Chicago made all of its runs of the game. English popped out to Dykes. Hornsby singled to center field. Wilson batted a single to right field. Cuyler struck out. Stephenson singled to right field. Grimm batted safely to left field and so did Taylor. That sent Hornsby, Wilson and Stephenson over home plate. It also lifted Earnshaw out of the game and Grove took his place, striking out Hartnett, a pinch-hitter. In the seventh inning Foxx of the Athletics batted safely to left field. Miller sacrificed. Dykes singled and a run scored. In the eighth inning, Carlson pitching, two were out when Cochrane was given a base on balls and Simmons batted a home run into an alley down in . -

52 Spalding Official Base Ball Guide FOURTH GAME, OCTOBER 12, AT PHILADELPHIA. In the seventh inning, with the scoare 8 to 0 in favor of l Chicago, the Athletics, in the last half, batted around and scored ten runs, winning the game by the most remarkable exhibition of batting ever recorded in a world series contest. Root started to pitch for Chicago and swam easily with his head,far above water until the seventh inning, when he was blown out of the game by the blustering Athletics. They had done nothing with him until that inning. The Cubs had breezed along, propelling Quinn to the dugout by their batting and making life miserable for Walberg and Rommel. The latter, by a streak of chance, was credited with winning the game. When Quinn was pitching Chicago scored twice in the fourth inning. With one out Cuyler singled to right field. Stephenson flied out, to Boley and Grimm batted a home run over the right field fence. In t}.e sixth inning Hornsby, Wilson, Cuyler and Stephenson singled one after the other. With the last hit Mack had enough of that pitcher and waved Quinn out of the box He was succeeded by Walberg. Grimm batted safely and went to third on a wild throw. Taylor's sacrifice fly put Grimm across home plate and the Cubs had five more runs. In the seventh, with Rommel pitching, they added another when, with one out, Hornsby hit to center for three bases. Wilson was given a base on balls, and Cuyler singled. Then came the Athletics' half of the seventh inning, and there is no other inning like it in world series history. Simmons began with a home run against the corner of the left field stand. That seemed to be merely orna- mental. Foxx singled to right. Wilson lost Miller's loop fly in the sun in center field. Dykes hit to Root, and if the pitcher had let the ball go by him English might have stopped it, but Root half blocked it and turned it into a base hit, Foxx scoring. Boley hit over Root's head to center for a base. Miller scored and Dykes went to third. Burns batted for Rommel and popped out to English. The Chicagos breathed easier. Bishop singled over second. It was not a hard hit ball. Dykes scored and Boley went to third. Then Root was taken out of the game. Nehf was substituted for him with orders to make the best batters hit fly balls. Nehf didn't like the sun which shone in his eyes and Wilson lost a drive by Haas because the ball became tangled up with the sun. Wilson ran in, found that he would not get it, tried to block it on the bound, and the ball went by him to the fence, Boley and Bishop scoring ahead of Haas, with the spectators deliri- ously mad. Cochrane was given a base on balls, Nehf being evidently out of joint with the times. He was taken off the plate and Blake was sent in. Simmons hit safely past McMillan. The third baseman was set for what seemed like a sure double play, but the ball bounded over his shoulder. Cochrane went to second. ,Foxx hit safely to center and Cochrane scored the tieing run. Simmons ran to third. Blake was taken out and Malone went in the game to pitch. He hit Miller with his first pitched ball. Dykes batted to left field and Stephenson played the ball none too well. It went for a two-bagger and Simmons and Foxx scored. Boley and Burns struck

i-1' , Chicago was not a team of great fielders. The Cubs have not had a star third baseman in many seasons. It has taken several years to discover a shortstop who can revive memories of some of the brilliant shortstops of the Chicago past. English was a better infielder in the National League in 1929 than he was given credit for being.' Lack of appreciation was because he made errors at times which appeared to be awkward and clumsy. On the ir-; : other hand, he was covering more ground at short than'any other shortstop of the league. When he gets over his haste and makes his quick plays with the ball in his hand and not before he has it firmly grasped, he will rate with . the good shortstops of Base Ball and may be a star. All of the season Chicago was without Hartnett, its catcher, who had been established as one of the standbys for the season before it began. An ailing arm kept him away from the games that were played. The club was for- < tunate to obtain Taylor, catcher, from Boston, when it seemed as if there would be no alternative except to find a minor league player. If Chicago had found the services of Hartnett ayailable in 1929, provided the big catcher had batted as he did in other years, the Cubs would have won the pennant more-easily than they did. All through the summer the fight being waged by Chicago was made to' * - appear harder-in fact, was harder-than it should have been, because of the hampering accidents to players. Accidents are something which befall all Base Ball clubs, and when a team can win a pennant despite them, it is a team above the ability of average first division skill. ji, !- The fans of Chicago were delighted that the Cubs won. Base Ball is ~- H popular in Chicago and certain Base Ball teams, from the days of Spalding and Anson and Kelly, have been popular with the Chicago public; but it is doubtful if there is one in all Chicago history that attained greater popu- larity than the team of 1929. The attendance at the games proved it. Crowds that filled the stands to capacity were frequent. In cold weather - the outpouring was splendid and in hot weather it was even better. The citizens of Chicago like the players and the management and appreciate the attention that is given them by the Chicago owner, William Wrigley, and President William Veeck. Base Ball as it is conducted in Chicago, by the National and American League clubs, both as a sport and as a business enterprise, is a good object lesson to Base Ball management throughout the United States. aC _X-:

McKechnie The year's history in Pittsburgh is to be divided into two parts The first is W.G.---"with Grimes"-and the second is also W.G.-"without Grimes". Up to the time that he was injured while trying to field a batted ball, the Pittsburgh team was going along smoothly and effectively, after a bad start, and had crowded its way to the top. It had proved that it could defeat Chicago-and the later seemed to be the team to whip to win the pennant- and it was strong against most of the other teams. If the other Pittsburgh pitchers had been able to come through when Grimes was injured, the Pirates could have given the Cubs a race down to the last days of the season, but there was not that effectiveness about the Pittsburgh pitchers which had been manifest in other seasons. Much had been expected from Petty when he was secured from Brooklyn by trade, but Petty was not an extra good pitcher last season. Swetonic had a splendid reputation with the Kansas City club, and there were times when he was good with Pittsburgh; but he had not quite enough seasoning for major league Base Ball. French, who had been purchased from Portland, was in. jured after he had begun well. Kremer came back well, but he could not hold up unaided the brunt of the work after Grimes was hurt.

New York lacked a hard, powerful batter in the outfield. It started with Welsh, who had been secured from Boston and was finally traded back to Boston because Welsh was not batting with strength sufficient to help win a pennant for New York. Roush was unable to play some of the time, and f ~ ~~that hurt the Giants. To compensate for it, Ott came through beautifully. The latter, a personal selection of Manager Mc~raw, a young Louisiana player from opposite New Orleans, is beginning a career which should result in personal greatness some day. In fact, he is not far from it now. One of the sensations of the year was the no-bit game which was pitched by Hubbell. After he had done so, well, Hubbell did not settle down to win-

Bancroft Boston finished eighth in the National League race, but began the season as if it were sure to finish in the first division. While the snow was on the ground the president of the club, Judge Emil Fuchs, announced that he would become its manager and so appointed himself. The statement caused some surprise inasmuch as Judge Fuchs had never been a ball player, nor had previous actual managerial experience. Boston did poorly in spring training, came North and took the lead in the race for the championship, and held it for three weeks while the Base Ball world stood mute in astonishment. Then the descent began, and little by little the team slipped down the incline from top to bottom, and in August landed in last place, to remain there until the season was over. That in brief is the story of the Boston club in 1929. It does not convey in full the surprise that was caused by the capital work of the team in the earliest weeks of the year. Notwithstanding the predictions daily that the Boston club was away over its head, and almost all seemed to believe that; notwithstanding the surprise of even some of the Boston players that they were doing so well, they continued to do well until the schedule had worn

114 Spalding Official Base Ball Guide Before the season was finished, Miller Huggins, manager of the Yankees, passed on. That did not affect the standing of the club. The pennant had been lost before he died. The worry of defeat may have had its effect on his vitality. Ere he breathed his last he was planning to build up for 1930. He was one of the most able managers in the history of Base Ball. He kept a National League team in the race without resources of worth to assist him, and won pennants in the ;American League with a combination of players who, improperly handled, might have driven both manager and owner to desperation. His knowledge of the national game was profound, The league was handicapped in many ways. At the start the New York fans supported their team handsomely enough. They were not as enthusi- astic at the finish, but nothing better was to have been expected. St. Louis did not come up to expectations. Detroit started with a rush. Basic weaknesses in the team developed early and Harris, the new manager, had to make a fight to try to win with some phyers' who were not particularly ambitious and with others who did not improve as it had been expected they might. Chicago floundered, as it' had for some seasons before, and the Sox merely chirped in the grand chorus of the season as it was being sung. The one ambitious club of the West was Cleveland. Manager Peckinpaugh deviloped much the best young pitcher of the year in either major league. His name is Ferrell. His future will have to be of his own making. His start was one of the most ambitious that has been made by any young pitcher in the last decade. With patient attention to his art he may be another of that type of pitcher which has made Cleveland famous, the most important of whom is Denton T. Young, by some considered to be the greatest pitcher who has been of the major leagues. In the East Walter Johnson, essaying to manage the Washington club, had ill luck. His team was not strong enough and it was further weakened by illness and injury. It could not drive ahead with the speed that is necessary to major league Base Ball if pennants are to be won. Boston was no better than it had been and dragged at the bottom of the race, as it had since the team was wrecked during the time of ownership of the late Harry Frazee. When the latter began to dismantle the Boston team there were apologists for him, but it is recognized now that the transfer of good players to other cities left Boston nearly hopeless. Former manager Carrigan, who was sum- moned from retirement to try to revive the team, was no more successful in 1929 than he had been in 1928 and had to go forward with a team which ob- - viously was not competent, as compared with the other contenders. The major strength of the league was in the East, because the two pre- dominating clubs were of Eastern affiliation. Yet the West did gain some- thing by the tiptop showing of Cleveland. That team and St. Louis kept up a fight, Cleveland the best of all of the Western teams. One of these days the Chicago club may regain ascendancy in the American League as it en- joyed it once in years gone by, and then that league, as an organization, may be better satisfied, The present condition with two such splendid competi- tors in the East as New York and Philadelphia is not wholly without its fine points, but the American League, as a circuit, wants Chicago to get on its Base

PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE AVERAGES, 1929 202

196 Spalding Official Base Ball Guide Some changes were made in managers. Krug was dropped at Los Angeles and Jack Lelivelt. took his place. Rodgers resigned at Portland after the season was over. Vitt did well in winning the championship for Hollywood, and Killefer kept the Missions in the front of the race until the second half of the season, when his team seemed to tire more than that of Hollywood. Ike Boone of the Missions finished the season with a percentage of .407, the highest batting percentage ever made on the Coast. He was only two hits short of the total record that was made by Paul Strand at Salt Lake City. Suhr played first base very well for San Francisco and at the end of the season he was sent to the Pittsburgh club, while San Francisco was fortunate enough to find at Chicago a good market for Jolley, their big bat- ter, to play the outfield for the Sox in 1930. The league drew 1,924,196 spectators. This was not the best attendance in the history of the league, but it was very good. A circuit up and down the Coast that must cover the area demanded by the Pacific Coast League, de- pendent upon two large cities to keep the organization alive and that can draw nearly two million spectators, should be a successful Base Ball or- ganization. Players drafted from the league were men who had been given a previous chance in the majors and who return to big league Base Ball with another opportunity to make a place.

In Memoriam 354

i 348 Spalding Official Base Ball Guide Col Abaha 0. ABRAHAM G. MILLS. Col.. Abraham G. Mills, who '-was the third president of the National League, serving from 1882 until 1885, died August 26, 1929, at Falmouth, Mass., at the age of 85. He was the most forceful of all the earlier presidents of the National League except William A. Hulbert. They were wonderful men of a different type of attainment. Hulbert was an organizer and a disciplinarian of players. Mills was a perpetuator, an advocate of unwavering honesty between clubs and leagues, and even more of a builder for the future than Hulbert. The latter was a principal factor in making the National League possible, and Col. Mills made organized Base Ball possible. Col. Mills was the author of the National Agreement and the persistent advocate of the extension of the reserve rule. There have been those who have held that the continuation of professional Base Ball would not be pos- sible without the reserve rule, and others who have deemed its continuance impossible without the National Agreement. It is fair to assume that it would be impossible without either or both of them. Arthur H. Soden of Boston offered the resolution providing for the reserve rule, and Col. Mills is un- tl Ml hdoubtedly both author of the National Agreement and originator of the idea. He played Base Ball as a boy and as a young man. He was at the head of the Olympic Base Ball club that organized the trip into the West from Washington and was the inspiring genius of the club from its inception. As president of the National League he resigned his office because he would not countenance the condoning of offenses which, though not criminal on the part of players, were a violation of the principles and ethics of the game. The permission granted those players to return to the league and assume con- !1 p atracts, to which Col. Mills objected, was a mistake which presented its raw edge to the National League repeatedly after that year. > WashReverting for a moment to the soldier days of Col. Mills, it is easy to see how he dwelt upon Base Ball as a national pastime, because he went into the army with a bat and ball as part of his equipment. He was one of the mem- , bers of the Second Duryee Zouaves, who played a picked nine from other Union |;: regiments .at Hilton Head, S.C., Christmas Day, 1862. i't;ЗI: OHe was born March 12, 1844, in New York City. He graduated from Jamaica pmsHigh School and was graduated from the Columbian, now the George Wash- ington, Law School, at Washington, D.C., in 1869. He was admitted to the bar in the District of Columbia, but never practiced law. In 1872 he married Mary Chester Steele, who died in 1922. At the time of his death he was senior vice-president of the Otis Elevator Company, with which he had been connected for more than fifty years. ; hohdeCol. Mills was a past commander of Lafayette Post, Department of New York, G.A.R., now disbanded; secretary at the time of his death of the Sur- e'?:: . vivors' Association of Lafayette Post, an officer of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion and an officer of the French Legion of Honor. ... .. All his life he was an advocate of physical education and a patron of ath- it ^ H hletic sports. He was a member and a former president of the New York Athletic Club. He proposed, in 1921, the organization of the American Olym- :pi e Association and drew up its constitution. At the time of his death he s -:pwas advisory counsel to the American Olympic Committee. He was a member of the Union League Club, the American Museum of Natural History, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Association for the :'~ v AProtection of the Adirondacks, of which he was president at the time of his death. On the day of his death his secretary received a letter from him asking her to give certain persons information with regard to the winter sports of the 1932 Olympic Games, which it is proposed to hold in the Adiron- dacks, at Lake Placid.

Spalding Official Ba Ball Guide 349 . HARRY H. FRAZEE. Harry H. Frazee, owner of the Boston American League club from 1916 to : 1922, inclusive, died in New York City, aged 48, June 4. In addition to his Base Ball venture he dabbled in pugilism and was an important manager and .^ owner in the theatrical world. While he owned the Boston club his team - won the championship in 1918. He purchased the club for a sum reputed to " have been about $400,000. When he sold the club he transferred it to a' syndicate for an amount not stated, although estimates had it at more than ' $1,000,000. Frazee sold Carl Mays, pitcher, to the New York club, and as a result of that transfer there was a long feud between him and Ban Johnson, former president of the American League. Frazee also sold Babe Ruth to the New York club for an amount said to have been $125,000. MILLER J. HUGGINS. Miller J. Huggins, manager of the New York American League club, which finished second in the championship race of 1929, died in New York City, September 25, of blood poisoning. His sudden illness and its fatal termina- tion were a shocking blow to Base Ball and to a multitude of friends. He started to play professionally in Mansfield, Ohio, in 1899. His career lasted in all thirty years. Huggins was born in Cincinnati, March 27, 1880. Hq went to the University of Cincinnati, took an academic course, studied ': law for three years and was admitted to the bar in 1902. He was so fond of I Base Ball that he joined the St. Paul club of the American Association in six months. At St. Paul, Huggins established a record which still stands, ac- cepting nineteen chances in the field without error in a single game, making eleven putouts and eight assists. In 1904 he went into the,major leagues, becoming second baseman for the Cincinnati team. At the close of the 1909 season Huggins was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals, where he also played second base. In 1912 be became player-manager of the Cardinals, the club being owned by Mrs. Helene Britton. With St. Louis he developed Rogers Hornsby, one of the greatest batters in Base Ball history. His success with the St. Louis team was excellent con- sidering his resources. .- f? In 1918 he was made manager of the New York Americans. With Babe i Ruth, who went to New York in 1920, as the nucleus, he developed the team A until, in 1921, after two seasons of finishing third, he led the Yankees to a pennant. He repeated in 1922, but in both years the Yankees were beaten by the Giants in the world series. In 1923, however, the Yankees turned the tables in the annual classic..: Huggins, with a made-over infield which he brought together by buying i Lazzeri and Koenig from the minor leagues as his second baseman and shorti ? stop, respectively, won the pennant in 1926 when almost every one was agreed , he hadn't a chance with two untried men at keystone positions. He also de -': veloped Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth's "home run twin," and Earl Combs, star een ?. ter fielder, and he nursed George Pipgras from mediocrity to a finished pitcher. ; The Yankees lost the world series that year to the Cardinals, but the w r * CYorkers took the next world series four straight, overwhelming Pittsburgh,. , kA and in 1928 the Cardinals fell 'victim to the Yankee attack, failing to win a game. Huggins was a student of Base Ball possibilities that might lurk In the /"i bodies and minds of the younger players who were brought to him, and 2h;s judgment as to future results was so good that he kept his team in the frS t .~ division, and he made ball players of young men who were criticised by others i? as lacking in mental and physical qualities necessary to produce successful -' players. .,- . OLLIE BEARD., ? - . ;!J One of the old time shortstops of skill died in Cincinnati, May 28. He was ,I Ollie Beard, who played with the Reds in 1889, 1890 and 1891. Beard was fast and accurate. He managed the Detroit team after he had left Cincin--a i nti. When Beard played with Cincinnati Gus Schmelz was manager. З ; '_ . . ' .;. Re , ,,.;v- ,* A ft ! .-;; .A i ;;- -A . .'"
