Boston, Moss., July 30.-—The passing of Olaf Henriksen from the world's { champion Red Sox closed the big | league career of a player possessing | one of the quaintest records vet‘hung up. Hehriksen stuck with the Red Sox six and a half seasons though he never won a regular berth. Though a utility man, he shared in the winner's portion of three of the largest pots ever dealt out to a world’s series con- testant. But the strangest part of Henrik- sen’s career is that as a utility man he hit well over .366 in 1911, .321 n -912, and .375 in 1913, yet he failed to win a regular job. The fact that Henriksen was subbing for the great Speaker-Lewis-Hoaper trio is the éx- planation as ta why he never was i played regularly despite the hitting ability he displayed when he first came in the league. Perhaps that checked Olaf's ambi- tlon, as his average dropped to .263 in 1914 and .205 in 1915. None will ever know what sort of a batter he would have made had he been played regularly. New York remembers Henriksen best for his pinch hit in the 1912 world's series, which enabléd the Red Sox to tie the score in the seventh inning. But for that hit Mathewson { wonld have won the last game 1 ta 0 i in nine innings, before Snodgrass and Merkle had a chance to pull their i famous muffing and misjudging act in the tenth RICH PURSES FOR TROTTERS. | Kalamazoo to Give $27,000 in Four- Day Meeting.
