Clarke felt himself reaching the rag- “hold on" for geveral raore years. His successor had not arrived-—not until the spring of 1911, when May Carey was brought in trom the South Bend club of the Central league, “There's a boy who will wear my shoes next season,” remarked Clarke to Tommy Leach, Honus Wagner, George Gibson and other Pirate stars. “He's good enough to take my place right now."” Little did Clarke dream that 12 years later Carey would remain in the Pirates' outfield and continne to make good Clarke's glowing opinion of his worth, a real star, Clarke, a brilliant outfielder him- seif, did not want to turn his ter- ritory over to a misfit. And he didn’t. Max Carey deserves a high place in the ranking of great outfielders. He's Great Base Runner Carey has become the successor to Bol) Bescher as the National League's greatest base stealer. He has never approached Cobb's remarkable season of 1915, when Tyrus pilfered 96 sacks, but annually he tops the National leaguers for stolen bases. “THE NIGHT BEFORE to Weiss Park Bouts Will In- clude Kid Kaplan vs. Babe Herman—Eugene Criqui Also to Be Seen. There will be two rival features on the fight card staged by the Weiss Park A. C. at Weiss Park, New Haven, on July 8rd, “the night before.” The and “Babe' Herman, will, of course, be the magnet that will compel the at- tention of the public in the first place but running it a close second in drawing power will be the appearance of Eugene Criqui, featherweight champion of the world, on the same card. Since his knockout of Johnny Kilbane, the gallant Frenchman has been touring New Ingland and every- where has been greeted with tremend- [ous enthusiasm, , In practically every town he has entered, veterans' or- ganizations such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars or the American Le- gion have turned out to welcome their former comrade-in-arms. Criqui has been feted, banqueted and paraded, and it is hardly likely that New Hav- en will fall down on the job, when this real war-hero arrives in town on the 3rd, in fact preliminary talk of a big welcome to be given the French- man by New Haven veterans, rein- forced by delegations from other Con- nectient cities, has already been heard and plans will doubtiess be an- nounced within the next few days. “You can't keep a good man down™ George Dwyer, who comes pret- | close to being Connecticut's great- est matchmaker, and who is just now buey with arrangements for the Kap- lan-Herman card to be gtaged at Weiss Park, New Haven, on July 3rd. The enforced cancelation of the Dun- des-Tiplitz show cost the Weiss Park A. C. plenty of money but the part- ners are undiscouraged and are con- [fident that the excellent array of talent booked for the 3rd will draw a [erowd that will more than square their books. | “Don’t worry" s Louis “Kid Kaplan, “there won't be a sixth fight,” Mr. Kaplan makes this remark {h al earncstness and “sincerity and he re- Ifers to the ancient and honorable | fend that exists between himeelf and | “Baba” Herman, the dark-skinned | | SEE FISTIC FIREWORKS IN NEW HAVEN LONGE® LEAD ove VIRST THAD CAREY Carey insists that all should be good base runners. ‘There's nothing difficult to study,” remarks Max. “Just get your lead, watch your pitcher and then go."” That's all Max does. He gets a big- ger lead than anybody In the National league, And “he goes.” li¢ has made a study of this particular branch of the game. The fact that in 53 at- tempts to steal a base last year, he was successful 51 times, gives you some idea of Carey's abllity. Must Get Big Lead “It's all in the lead and breaking with the start of the pitch,” explains Carey. “Great speed is not essential to be a good base runner, although it helps. You must use your head as well as your feet.” Carey does not belong to the fence- busting class of hitters. He is more of a scientific batter than a fence- buster. He crowds the plate, chokes the bat and just aims to meet the ball with a solid crash. Carey's early plans were to become 2 minister, as he attended Concordia seminary in St. Louis in 1908-1909. However, joining the Seminary’'s ball team, he was urged to give up the ministry for baseball and he entered the professional fleld in 1809 with South Bend in the Central league, starting out as a shortstop. In 1910 he shifted to the outfield and he has been there ever since. He is one of the few batters who bats ef- fectively from beili sides of the plate.

CORBINS PLAY SUNDAY Will Go Down to Tvoryton to Play the Team in That Town—Pitching Choice Has Not Been Made. Although the game scheduled for Saturday in Taftville has been can- celled, giving the Corbin Red Sox an open date, the game on Sunday in Ivoryton will be played and a stiff scrap is expected. Ivoryton has a good club and recently has trounced the| All-Insurance nine of Hartford and the Middletown Kaceys. The Red Sox will leave Sunday at 12:30 p. m. Manager John Tobin has not de- cided on his pitcher and says that he is all through with working his twirl- ers in rotation. Hereafter he will have them all warm up before the game and the one who shows up the best and appears to be in best form on that particular day is the one who will occupy the mound.
