Says He Will Not Use Harvard Meth- ods and That Stallings Will Have Much Power. Percy Haughton gave his first in- terview as a baseball magnate Sun- day. Never while he coached at Harvard did he talk for publication, { but he says he dces not intend to use Harvard methods with the Braves, and that he was silent at Harvard through no fault of his. Haughton let it be known that Geo. Stallings will have absolute charge of the playing end of the club. The presi- dent irtends to repeat James E. Gaff- ney'’s edict against' rowdyism in -a speech to the players and makéd a few trips with the club, but other than that Stallings will be the boss. Haughton said: “Of course, there has been s lot of fun and joking about how the Harvard coaching system would work out in league ball. That was to be expected. % | There will be no college, methods-used, however, in the handling of the Braves. e Wwho own tne club realize that we ave d & very. big busin position. T bellieve ‘that 1 o the ety man among the new owners. “While, to-he sure, wewill mors retain all Harvard triendships, we Will likewise think fully as much of and. cater to the other baseball fans of Boston. The men who have enough money.to g0 through Harvard and enjoy more or leas prosperity afterward are great friends for any - business. But they should not and will not in our busi- ness have what ‘one commentator styled the upper hand. i Naturally, while I was _ handling college sport at, Harvard there were times when perhaps I fiad to be rather silent on certain subjects which mignt have been of public interest, but it was through no fault of mine. I realize now that in a way I am being tried all the time by the Boston public, ang conse- quently will have it in mind. always. 1 might have offered an alibi at Harvard but_proferred to fight it out mysel. “Stallings is 2 genuine, a sort of a baseball wonder. I know very well that George can tell a real ball player by instinct. He has the knack of handling men, and getting them also, -that makes a great leader. . You can put it s strongly as you like that Stallings will have absolute charge of the base- ball end of the Braves. To be candid, the fact that Stallings was signed as manager for a couple of years in- fluenced me as much as anything else in deciding to buy the club. “What George says will go all the time. I believe that when a man has a job he should be allowed to work along his own lines. Then, if he fails, it 15 time to break in and help. It is up to Stallings to give Boston a good National League ball team, and I be- lieve in my heart that he will keep right on doing it as long as he cares to_remain in baseball. “I have admired Stallings from the first moment I knew him. That was last ‘spring, when the task of coach- ing the Harvard baseball team sudden- 1y fell on my shoulders. Though I had played the game and liked it, I was a bit vague on the coaching part ot it. Consequently I looked for help. 1 went to see Stallings at his hotel. He was gepulnely glad to see me, That first night we talked for more than five hours ,even though the Braves' manager was sick at the time and worried because his team was not going any too well. As I was leaving He insisted that I come around the next evening. I did, and very often after that. He was always wonder- fully interesting. Baseball genuis stuck out all over him. He tapght me fmore sbout the game in a week than could have learned from anybody else in a lifetime. e “I thet Mr. Gaffney and we became very good friends. I heard one day that he declared he would sell the Braves if he was offered enough for them. I constited the men who are associated me and ‘we ‘began talk P hers 1s rm:' s “There is no room for hneck tactics in baseball and T will sot ol erate them on my club. I will prob- ably go south with the team mext mionth. I have been put .in-here to take charge of the club and watch out for eli its business and I'm not going to overlook anything if I can help 1t* M'GRAW PULLS BONES ON SEVERAL TRADES Ma ‘Ex-Giants Starred " During 1916 Semsonc T Several years ago, when John Mc- Graw asked for waivers on a player, it was a pretty sure sign that such a player was done. In fact, other managers usually_considered it Wisdom to stay off a player McGraw was_cut- ting loose. There was a boast Mac's friends that whenever ‘When the story of the great war is written—if ever—historians will bear witness-to many cases of heroism in all the armies, and to few men will be awarded higher praise - than to the ‘British dispatch Tider in the pleture. Riding within range of Turkish snip- ers on the Gallipoli peninsula, at the Dardanelles, he carried ‘messages for the allied forces at Anzac, shortly be- fore the Eritish and French retirement from the Dardanelles. — In fact a team of ex-Giants may be plcked from' major ledgue talent of last season, which:could put it all over McGraw's tail-end combination of last tall. How would this team line up?: Gowdy, Bravés, 1b; Groh, Reds, 2b Herzog, Reds, ss; Stock, Phillies, $b; Bescher, Cardinals, 1f; Becker, Phil- lies cf; Murray, Cubs, rf; Snodgrass, Braves, utility: Bresnahan, H Wilson, Chifed-Cubs: Hartley, fed-Browns, ci Rudolph, Brave: Demaree, Phillies; Chalmers, Phillle: ‘Marquard, Superbas; Ames, Cardinal: Crandall,~_Sloufed-Browns, pitchers. That team perhaps could not have licked the Red Sox in the world’s se- ries, but it should have made a pret- ty good showing in last year'’s Na- tional league ‘race, and might have made the going rather. tough for the Phillies. . McGraw has had the misfortune to pull off several _rather unfortunate deals in recent years, and the worst dear in MEGraw's life was the trade Wity Cinctnadl @ 93¢ by_which he Reds received Ames, Devore a fox vt Tromie. " Srokic pe{&p. e B "lflh‘-fl game y, Fritzy Mai ofssvmubc- tng Wi only " dlose rival. . Heinle is worth 17 bushels of Frommes. Red Ames was an_unhucky pitcher for the Giants, but Leon usually gave the other side a run for thelr money. As to_Fromme, perhaps the least sald about Artie the better. Next t6 the Fromme deal, the swap by which Herzog and Hartley were sent to Cincinnati for Bescher. was the prize boner. McGraw blames this deal on John Foster, as John B. pulled off_the deal while McGraw, Comiskey and Callahan were circumnavigating the_ globe. What made this deal look so bad was the fact that Shafer retired dur- ing the same winter, and instead of having two of the finest third.base- men in the game, McGraw had only a_kid shortstop to play third, Milton Stock. However, Stock, too, was sent away to help bring the veteran Lobert to New York, and Hans was a sad fitv- ver. As for Milton he finished the season as third baseman on the Phillie National league champions, and play- ed a smart, steady game. Demaree and Jack Adams, a kid catcher, also shared; in ‘worlds series money last fall, because they were sent to Quak- ertown in the Lobert deal. Hank Gowdy was tossed in as ex- cess bagsage when the Glants swap- ed Al Bridwell to the Braves for ferzog in 1911, but it is due entirely to. Mac that Long Hank is a catcher. Gowdy came to the Giants late in' 1910 .as a first baseman, who had hit pret- ty well in -Texas, and for a stretch he was permitted to finish out games at_first for Merkle. McGraw, however, advised Hank to try catching, and he was an extra catcher when traded to Boston along with Bridwell. - Boston used Hank 'as a first baseman, but he soon drifted to the International league, where he took up catching for good, and was recalled by Stallings when the Big Chief was named as'the Braves' man- ager. McGraw seldom has gone wrong on pitchrers, but he has never forgiven himself for _letting _Rudolph slip through his fingers. The Bronx kid made two training trips with ‘the Giants, but in 1911 McGraw decided he was too small for the big league and let him go for good. YANKS STILL AFTER HOMERUN BAKER. Report That New York Club Wil Id to Third Baseman’s Demands. ' Now that Lee Magee, the former manager of the Brookfeds, has been corralled, Col: Ruppert and Capt. T. L. Houston will turn their attention to Trappe, Md. and J. Franklin Baker, Connle _Mack’s “Home Run _King,* Capt. Huston n i night from Cincinnati with the signed contract of Magee and some time this week will epdeavor to secure the gavature ot Baker to s New York erican League contract. 3 The deal for Baker, as far as Con- nie -Mack and the New York club is concerned, is closed.

This money was wot paid over to Cornie and -will not be_until Baker afixes his_signature to @ New York contract. ‘With Baker and Magee on the team next sesson Bill Donovan- will ‘have an excellent chance to cop the Amer- E Donovan, if he Magee's calibre, and around him I hope to- give the fans of this com- munity a pennant. winning team.” Although Sinclair has sold Magee to the Yankees for the sum of $22,500, it is not believed that he is going to re- tire from baseball and become a-spec- tator instead of a Club owner. - Many well informed baseball followers were inclined ‘to believe that the sale of Magee was the first move on the part of Sinclair to compel Harry ™. Hempstead and the other stock- holders of the Glants to reconsider the propositions for - their team. - Sinclair llkes baseball and, as published in the World before, wants to buy a New York ball club. But he is not so-crazy as to pay a ridiculous price of $2,000,- 000 for a second division ball club. Sinclair will:have no cause to worry, however, if he fails to buy his way into organized baseball, for the 30 ylayers he had under his control will. bring him about $200,000. So far the oil magnate has realized $27,250 for . the two players he has already disposed of. Not so long ago.he received $5,000 from the Cinclgnati_ cipy for the ser- vices of Earl Moseley,” the stocky pitcher of the Newark Feds, and the price that the Yanks pald for Magee ie sald to be $22,500. CUBS WILL HAVE EXCELLENT BACKING Recently Purchased and Re-organized by J. Ogden Armour, William Wrig- ley, Jr., and Other ‘Wealthy Men. The announcement made by Charles ‘Weeghman that among his partners in the recently purchased and reorgan- ized Chicago National league baseball club are J. Ogden Armour, Willlam Wrigley, Jr., in addition to ona or two other unnamed business men of great wealth, ralls attention to the entry of fresn miliions of backing into the big leagues within the past year. Four major league clubs have changed ownership in a little more than twelve months and in every case the buyers are men who have made large fortunes in other lines of bus- iness and to whom baseball will al- ways be mcre of a sport than a dol- lars and cents proposition. Yet these men have either made millions or in- creased fortunes, left to them by an- cestors, {hrcugh shrewd business abil- ity and ujp-to-date efficiency and they will naturally expect that any ball club in which they have money invested will be conducted along the same lines. It only requires a cursory glance at the list of the mew club owner and the money they have invented and rep- resent to realize that new era is dawning in big league baseball. A li tle more than a year ago Col Jacob Ruppert, Jr., and T. L. Huston paid about $410,000 for the -New York Na- tional ~ league club. The combined wealth of these two men is over $25, 000,000 and they have alrealy demon- strated that they are.willing to spend big_money to secure.proper diamond talent as the recent purchase of Lee Magee, at a figure over $20,000 proves. Following the peace agreement be- tween organized and _ independent baseball the Chicago Nationals and the St Louis Americans changed hands. = Weeghman was the moving figure in the purchase of the Cubs and it now. develops that Armour, Wrigley |- and possibly one other capitalist are among the stockholders. Close to half & million was paid for the Cubs and the combined financial resources of the new owners is easily $75,000,000, so it can be seen that the Cubs will have excellent backing in the future. Phil Ball, Otto Stifel and J. W. Gar- neau were the announced purchasers of the St. Louis Americans and the price was given out as $525,000. At least one of the trio is understood to have the backing of a millionaire so that it is safe to set down the rating of the new owners as close to $5,000,- 000, The sale of the Boston Nationais to Percy D. Haughton, Arthur C. Wise and others for about $500,000, brings another group of capitalists and keen business men into baseball with re- sources placed at close to $30,000,000. Negotiations for the change of own- ership of two other big league clubs have been under way for some time and, while the outcome is problemat- ical, both the New York Nationals and the Cleveland Americans may have new backers before the 1916 pemnant season opens. The Cleveland club is undergoing a financial reconstruction club, but almost a quarter miilion dol lars :mn-nu owners and- bidders marked increase as | for tics, ?“yu‘r in th.. “registration which contained about two- the, wwflm of, the . entire .. U heart were due to three and phritis, cancer, diarrhoea and enteritis, apoplexy, arterial diseases, diphtheria, diabetes and typhoid fever. The deaths from heart disease (or- ganic diseases of the heart and endo- carditis) in the registration area in 1914 numbered 99,543, or 150.8 -per 100,000 population. ' The death or mor tality rate from this cause shows a compared with 1900, when it was only 128.1 per 100,- " 98,603 from Tubersulosis. - Tuberculosis in its various forms claimed 96,908 victims in 1914, of which number $4,386 died from tuberculosis of the lungs (including acute millary tuberculosis). As a result of a gsore general understanding of the laws of health, the importance of fresh air, etc., due in'part, no doubt, to the ef- forts of the various societies for the prevention of tuberculosis, there has been a most marked and gratifying de- crease during recent years in the mor- tality from this scourse of civilization. In only a decade—from 1904 to 1914— the death rate from tuberculosis in all its forms fell from 200.7 to 146.8 per 100,000, the decline being continuous from year to year. ‘This is a drop of more than 25 per cent Prior to 1904 the rate had fluctuated, starting at 2019 in 1900. Even yet, however, tu- berculosis has the gruesome distinction of causing more deaths annually than any other form of bodily fliness ex- cept heart disease, and over 40 per cent. more than all external causes— accidents, homicides and suicides com- bined. Pneumonia Victims. Pneumona. (including broncho-pneu- monia) was responsible for 83,304 deaths in the registration area in 1914, or 127 per 100,000—the lowest rate on record. The mortality rate from this disease, like that from tuberculosis, has shown a marked decline since 1300, when it was 130.5 per 100,000. Its fluctuations from .year to year, how- ever, have been promounced, Whereas the decline in the rate for tuberculosis has been nearly continuous. _ The only remaining death’ rate higher than 100 per 100,000 in 1914 was that for Bright's disease and .acute nephritis, 102.4. The total number of deaths due to these in 1914 was 67,545, more than nine-tenths of which were caused by Bright's disease and the remainder by ‘acute nephritis. The mortality from these two causes increased from 89 per 100,000 in 1900 to 1084 1n 1905, since which year it has fluctuated somewhat. 1¢ Cancers and Tumers. Next in order of deadliness come cancer and other mallgnant tumors, which filled 52,420 graves in 1914. Of these deaths, 19,889, or almost 38 per cent., resulted from cancers of the stomach and liver. Tho death rate from cancer has risem from 63, per 100,000 in 1900 to 79.4 in 1914. The in- crease has been almost 'continuous, there ‘having been but two years— 1906 and 1911—which showed a decline as compared with the years immedi- stely proceding. It is possible that at least a part of this Indicated increass 1s-due to more accurate diagnoses and greater care on the part of physicians in making reports to registration of- Diarrhoea and enteritis caused 52,437 deaths in 1914, or 79.4 per 100,000. This rate shows a marked falling off as compared with the rate for the pre- ceding year, 502, and a very pro- nounced decline as compared with that for 1900, which was 133.2. Nearly five- sixths of the total number of deaths charged to these causes in 1914 were of infants under 2 years of age. Apoplexy was the cause of 51,272 leaths, or 77.7 per 100,000. The rate from this malady has increased grad- ually, with occasional slight declines, since 1900, when it stood at 67.5. Arterial diseases of various' kinds— atheroma, aneurism, etc.—caused 18, 044 deaths, or 22.8 pey 100,000, in thy registration ares. No epidemic _disease a death rate as high as 18 per 100,000 in 1914. The fatal cases of diphtheria and croup—which are classed together in the statistics, but practically all of which are of diphtherla—numbered 11,- 786, or 17.9 per 100,000, in that year, the rate having failen’ from 433 in 1900. This decline of nearly 59 per cent. is relatively greatcr than that shown by any other important cause of death. The rate has not fallen con- tinuously, but has fluctuated somewhat from year to year. Diabetes was the cause of 10,666 deaths, or 16.2 per 100,000. The rate from this disease has risen almost continuously from year to year since 1900, when it was 9.7 per 100,000. Less Typhoid Mortality. The mortality rate from _typhold fever has shown a most gratifying de- cline since 1000, having decreased from 35.9 per 100,000 in that year to 15.4 in 1914, or by 57 per cent.
