PI'I'IIBUBOII. Aug. Its-1t may
be that the Pittsburgh Pirates will
sweep through to another National
League pennant and world chain-
plonshlp this fall. but if they do the
victory will be empty and the glory
tarnished for thousands of Pitts-
nmn fans who have tofipwed the
fortunes of his: Casey for the last
it years.

For Me: Carey is still an idol ’of
the fans. He commands not only
their praise but their affection. He
is something more than a more ball
player. as anyone might have sus-
pected last fall.. when. with simple
unaffeetcdness he credited God. Al-
mighty with answering his prayers

. for victory in the world series with

Washington. . _
life Real Name is Canaries.

Maxwell 0. Carey—a contraction
of his family name. Canaries—ls. to
employ an overwogged phre's'e. one
of theme“ colorful athletes in base-
ball.‘ In -addltion.;he-ls'one of the
game's greatest shooters and finest
gentlemen. If he weren‘t a baseball
player. he' d be a minister.

His suspension last week. pending
his release on waivers. descended
like a thunderbolt on his.thousands
Pittsburgh admirers. and despite
t e fact that his suspension and
that of Babe Adams and Carson Big-
bee is caused by his voting with five
other players to remove Fre'd Clarke.
club vice president. from the Pitts-
burgh bench. local fans generally re-
fuse to credit Carey with any under-
hand work.

The effect on Pirate fans is some-
what similar to what would happen
in Washington if Walter Johnson
should be fired for insubordlnatlon.
or in Chicago should Eddie Collins
be dropped. Carey's worshippers
won't believe that Man was engi-
neering a conspiracy to undermine
the authority of Clarke.

Started to Be a Preacher

Carey came to the Pirates from
the South Bend club of the old Cen-
tral League. He had been a ball
playerJn his college days, when he
was a divinityystudent at Concordia
Seminary. a training school for min-
isters of the Missouri Lutheran sect.
Max was headed straight for the pul-
pit when he persuaded himself that
he might make a better ball player
than preacher.

Had High Ideals.

Carey carried into baseball the
some high ideals which had pre-
viously decided him to enter the
ministry. Clean as a hound's tooth.
he has been outspoken in his doo-
trines. and has never overlooked an
opportunity to set I good example
before his mates.

He never uses profane language.
and admits that prayer is his daily
habit. Last fall. after the Pirates had
won thworldy series. the fans of
Wilkinsburg gave a banquet ill sea.
or of Bill MeKechnio. Carey was
one of the speakers. and in the
course of his remarks. he said:

"You hear a lot about luck in
baseball. and I suppose there is '1
certain amount of it. But what some
folks call luck. 1 call something 'else.
I have a firm belief in divine guid-
ance. and I believe that God Al-
mighty had more thania little to do
with our winning from Washington.
I know I prayed to him asisincerely

other problems that bothered and
worried me."

Corey had been a track man as
well as a baseball player in school.
and when he joined the South Bend
team and later the Pirates. he
studied to apply track methods to
base running.

He was right-hand batter when he
became a Buccaneer. but he switch-
ed later to the left side of the plate.
to gain a step or two in heading
toward first. and thus utilize to the
greatest advantage his unusual
speed. Today he is what is known as

a“turn" batter. changing his stance
to suit the pitching.

He is generally credited with be-
ing one of the world‘ s greatest base
stealers. He has led the National
League in that department a num-
ber of times. and is one of the most
annoying men in the league to op-
posing pitchers. once he has reached
first base.

Peculiar Lead Off.

Carey studied base running as a
fine art. when other players were
neglecting it for mastery of the
mighty swing. He developed a pc-
culiar style of leading off second
base with his back toward third
base. and claims that it enabled him
to take a longer lead than the ortho-
dox style. Other Pirates copled' .t.
and confirmed his claims for it.

Carey came to the Pirates on Aug.
20. 1910. He has been in the major:
is complete seasons. all spent with
the Pirates. In that time he has
been in 2083 games. has scored 1386
runs made 2341 hits. and stolen
678 bases. His total batting average
is .290. Last season he batted .343
in the regular campaign. and in the
world series reached the heights
with a mark of .458. having been at
bet :4 times in the seven games
with the Senators. made 11 hits
scored six runs and stolen three
bases. ‘ , .

‘ Iiovcs Ills Home.

He was born at Terre Haute. Ind.
,Jan. 1'1. 1890. is five feet 11 1-2
inches tall. and'welghs 110 pounds.
He is of‘lea‘n. straight build. with

else in the world—a man whom it
is a pity to ace pass out of the roster
of the world champions under the
circumstances that willgllark his go-
ing this week.

This is the man the Pittsburgh
fans ‘are parting with. He is not a
roughncck or troublemaker. but one
of the game's finest gentlemen. Not
a mere ball player, but an idealist.

DIAMOND
DISPUTES

 

 

 

 

 

and his family more than anything

 

HOW is it determined when a run
has been earned off a pitcher?
O 0

it is impossible to have an earned
run when the batsman reaches first
base on a fielding error or it passed
bull.

No run can be earned after the
team in the field has had chances
to retire the side and failed to take
advantage of them.

The following items can figure in
the making of an earned run: the
player reaching the home base by
the aid of base hits. sacrifice hlts
stolen bases. bases on balls. hit bats-
men. wild pitches and haiku.

In all cases these things must
happen before the fielding team has
had chances to retire the side and
failed to do so.
