KID ELBERFELD

"Kid Elberfeld, the active infielder of the Washington Senators, came to that team from the New York Highlanders in 1910.

Elberfeld commenced playing semi-professional ball in his teens, and in 1897 joined the Detroit team. Since then he has played with Cincinnati, Philadelphia and the New York Americans.

Twice he got into .300 batting figures, in 1901 and 1906. He has always been fast in the field and a good batter when any of the bases were occupied."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

DOLLY GRAY

"Dolly Gray, the port side twirler of the Washington Americans, started in a good share of their games in 1909 and 1910, the two years he has been with them, and has shown brilliant form at times, although he has not succeeded in piling up victories as he did in the Pacific Coast League.

Pitching for Los Angeles he always finished near the top of the Coast League, and led it in 1907 with 32 wins out of 46 games. In 1908 he had another good year, striking out 249 batsmen, winning 26 games out of 37, and the Washingtons got his services."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

BOB GROOM

"Bob Groom, one of the regulars on the pitching staff of the Washington Americans, came to that team from the Pacific Coast League. The season of that league is a long one, and in 1907 he was responsible for 46 games of the Portland club, of which he won 20, and the next year captured 29 games out of 44.

Washington got his services after his getting this record, and though he has not equaled his success on the coast he has won games from the strongest teams in the American League."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

WALTER JOHNSON

"Walter Johnson, one of the team's corps of pitchers, will be only 23 years old in November 1911, but has much diamond experience, having played professionally with the Weiser team of the Idaho State League when he was only 16.

He won 9 games for them out of 10 in 1905, and the next season won 13 games out of 13, averaging 14 strikeouts per game. The Weiser management sold his services to the Senators, and he has been one of their best. In 1910 he made a record by striking out 313 in one season."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

GEORGE MCBRIDE

"George McBride, shortstop for the Washington Americans, first played on the professional diamond with Milwaukee of the American Association in 1902, and was afterward with teams in other leagues.

His record with Kansas City in 1906 and 1907 was so good that he was drafted by the Washingtons in the fall of 1907, and in his three years with them he has the grand total of 2,674 chances accepted to his credit, and has always finished among the leading shortstops."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

CLYDE MILAN

"J. Clyde Milan, outfielder of the Washingtons, had brief experiences in the minors before he joined the Wichita team in 1906. In his first season with them he made only one error in 62 games, giving him the fine fielding percentage of .992, which resulted in his release being bought by Washington.

He was intended to be a utility outfielder, but his work was too good to keep him on the bench. In 1910 his 148 hits were good for a total of 177 total bases, and he also pilfered 44 bases."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

GERMANY SCHAEFER

"Germany Schaefer, whom the Washington Americans got from the Detroits during the season of 1909, is one of the most versatile players in the major leagues. He has played all over the infield and outfield, is a reliable hitter, a good base runner and the star comedian of his team.

He began his professional experience with the Sioux Falls club in 1899 and has since played in the American Association and the National League.

As a coach, his fun-making has made him a popular favorite."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

GABBY STREET

"Charles H. Street, who has most of the responsibility behind the bat for the Washington Americans, first played ball in the South. After playing in several minor leagues and with Cincinnati, he started the season of 1908 with the Washingtons.

Street was the first player who ever caught a ball dropped from the Washington Monument, over 500 feet. In his three years with Washington he has 528 assists in 357 games, a fine record."

JIMMY AUSTIN

"Jimmy Austin, whom the St. Louis Americans got in a trade with the Yankees in February 1911, came to the latter team from Omaha, where he had made a fine record. In 1907 and 1908 he led Western League third basemen with averages of .951 and .942, respectively. In 1908, he stole 97 bases, besides making 25 doubles, 10 triples and five home runs.

His work at third for the Yankees has been very consistent."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

BILL BAILEY

"William Bailey, the St. Louis Americans' young pitcher, was born in 1888 and commenced playing professional base ball in Austin, Texas, when only seventeen years old. The youngster's work was so good that he was engaged for 1907, and that year he improved so much that the St. Louis management purchased his services.

He made his debut with the Browns near the end of the 1907 season and got a couple impressive victories over strong teams. In 1909 he batted .286 which was quite an achievement for a pitcher."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

DANNY HOFFMAN

"Danny Hoffman, outfielder for the St. Louis Americans, was born in Connecticut and first played professionally for the Waterbury team in 1901. In 1902 his work for the Springfield, Massachusetts, team got him into the majors with the Philadelphia Athletics. In 1903 he was only a substitute, but in 1904 as a regular was batting over .300 when he was hit in the eye by a fast pitched ball, and did not fully recover for several seasons.

In 1906 and 1907, he played with the New York Americans, and since then in St. Louis."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

FRANK LAPORTE

"Frank LaPorte, the second baseman whom the St. Louis Americans got from the New York Highlanders in February 1911, came into the majors from the Eastern League, where he had been playing second base for the Buffalo team for three years. In his last season with them, 1905, he batted .331, and the New York Americans landed him.

Except a few games with Boston in 1908 he put in the next five years with the Yankees. His batting, beginning with 1906, averages .269, and his hitting was generally done at opportune times."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

BARNEY PELTEY

"Barney Peltey, one of the regular pitchers of the staff of the St. Louis Americans, is a native Missourian. In 1902 he covered first base for the Cairo team, and in 1903 he both pitched and caught for Cedar Rapids. At the end of that season, the Browns got him, and he has since taken his turn in the box with their other twirlers.

He has generally finished up each campaign even up on victories and defeats, or better, and if the efforts of manager Wallace to brace up the Browns succeed, Peltey's record will also improve."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

GEORGE STONE

"George Stone, the hard hitting outfielder of the St. Louis Americans, has missed few games since he has been on their pay-roll, except in 1909. In the four years ending in 1908 he played in 611 games.

His aggregate batting average for those four years was .317, and for the six years ending in 1910, .298. In 1910 he got two singles, a double and a triple off pitcher Bender in one game, and on June 2, against the Red Sox, he got five hits in six times up."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

BOBBY WALLACE

"'Rhody' Wallace, shortstop and manager of the St. Louis Americans, started as pitcher, but being tried at third base when he was with Cleveland, soon showed himself to be a star infielder.

He has been with the St. Louis Browns since 1902, playing mostly at short, but sometimes at third, doing fine work at both. In his new position as manager, he has the confidence and best wishes of all good St. Louis fans."

FRANK BAKER

"Frank Baker, the tall and hard hitting third baseman of the champion Athletics, is a native of Maryland. After playing with semi-professional teams he had a short trial with the Baltimores, and in 1907 and 1908 covered third for the Reading club of the Tri-State League. His work with the latter was so brilliant that Connie Mack got his services.

With the Athletics he has not fallen down in batting like so many young players do when they get into the major leagues."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

JACK BARRY

"John J. Barry, the fast young shortstop of the Philadelphia Athletics, is a native of Meriden, Connecticut. Barry had been doing fine work in the infield of the Holy Cross College team. In the fall of 1907 Connie Mack went to Meriden himself and secured his services.

In 1908 Barry sat on the Athletics' bench most of the season, but once he got the chance to play at short regularly, he and Collins soon made their part of the diamond invulnerable. Their fast work in 1909 and 1910 indicates a long and brilliant future for these brilliant young players."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

CHIEF BENDER

Charles Albert Bender, the famous Indian pitcher of the Philadelphia Athletics, learned base ball at Carlisle. In 1903 he was signed by the Athletics. His pitching for them has steadily improved, and in 1910 he led the twirlers of the American League.

In the 250 innings he worked he allowed 182 hits and 83 runs, and struck out 155 men. He contributed timely hits in some of his games, batting .269 for the season."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

EDDIE COLLINS

"Eddie Collins, second baseman of the Champion Athletics, played a fast game at short on the Columbia University team a few years ago, but in his first year with the Athletics he did nothing remarkable. The astute Mack tried him at second, and it was soon seen that a new base ball star had risen.

In 1908 Collins stole only eight bases, in 1909 he stole 67, and 81 in 1910. In both 1909 and 1910 he led all the second basemen, besides hitting the ball hard. In the World's Championship Series in 1910 his fielding, batting and stealing fairly dazzled the Cubs."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

TOPSY HARTSEL

"Topsy Hartsel, the Champion Athletics' utility outfielder, has been on their roster since 1902. Hartsel is short in stature, but solidly built, and in some years has walloped the ball hard.

In 1900 with Indianapolis, he batted .300, in 1901 with the Cubs his figure reached .339 and in 1903 he hit .301 for the Athletics.

He only played in the fifth game of the World's Championship Series of 1910 and his batting, baserunning and fielding helped the Athletics to win that decisive contest."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

HARRY KRAUSE

"Harry Krause, the Philadelphia Athletics' young southpaw, made his base ball debut with the San Jose team in 1907. Connie Mack signed him and sent him to the Harrisburg team of the Tri-State League for seasoning. The young pitcher led that league in 1908, and in 1909, given a chance with the Athletics, made a phenomenal record. He won the first ten games he pitched, only five runs being made off him the whole ten games.

In 1910 ill health and a bad arm prevented his doing much, but he is expected to again cut a wide swath in 1911."

"Paddy Livingston, one of the regular trio who do the catching for the Philadelphia Athletics, is a native of Ohio and got his start in Kent, in that state. From Kent he graduated to Wheeling and in 1906 made his first appearance in the majors with Cincinnati. In 1907 and 1908 he caught the majority of the games of the Indianapolis team of the American Association and was regarded as the best backstop in that organization.

Connie Mack secured his services for the Athletics, and has seen no reason to regret his purchase."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

BRIS LORD

"Bris Lord, whom the Philadelphia Americans got from Cleveland late in the season of 1910, had once played with the Athletics, but had been released to New Orleans. In 1908 he made such a record at bat that he was purchased by Cleveland.

Playing in 67 games for Cleveland in 1909, he made only one error in 124 chances. In 1910 he made 21 two-baggers and 18 three-baggers."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

DANNY MURPHY

"Danny Murphy, outfielder of the Philadelphia Athletics, has been playing professional ball for a long time, having commenced when he was only eighteen, and is still going strong. He has been playing with the Athletics since 1902, playing second base till 1908, and doing it well, but he had to make way for the rapidly rising Collins, and to keep his big bat in the lineup he was shifted to the outfield.

Danny kept right on fielding well and slugging when he was at bat, having 84 two-baggers, 39 three-baggers and 16 home runs in the last three years."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

RUBE OLDRING

"Rube Oldring, the Athletics' slugging outfielder, got into the Southern Association with the Montgomery team, after having played with semi-professional clubs around New York. In Montgomery he showed such major league form that the Athletics bought his release.

1910 was his best year with them. He batted safely 168 times and scored 79 runs. Rube hit for the circuit four times, 14 times for three bases and 27 times to the half-way station."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

IRA THOMAS

"Ira Thomas, one of the Philadelphia Athletics' regular catchers, got into professional base ball with the Hartfords of the Connecticut League in 1902. Afterwards he worked behind the bat for Newark and Providence, and in 1906 and 1907 for the New York Highlanders.

In 1908 he caught 40 for the Detroits and in 1909 entered on his present agreement with the Athletics. His work for them has been of a high order. Examples of it are his throwing out Ty Cobb five times out of six in the last Detroit-Philadelphia series of 1910, and his mastery of the pitching in the World's Championship Series with the Cubs."

HAL CHASE

"Hal Chase, manager, captain and famous first baseman for the New York Americans, started out in California as a pitcher, but by good luck was tried at first, and it was soon seen that at that position he would be a star.

He played his first game with the Yankees on April 14, 1905. In September 1910, he succeeded George Stallings as their manager. If he can make the team as a whole play nearly as well as he does, Yankee fans will be satisfied."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

LOU CRIGER

"Lou Criger, the veteran catcher of the New York Americans, is best known as the battery partner of the great Cy Young. In 1903 and 1904 when the Bostons won the championship of the American League, he caught two-thirds of their games, making splendid records both years. In 1901 and 1908 he led American League catchers in fielding averages, and in 1910 made only one error in 27 games.

He has been careful and is well able to retire comfortably."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

RAY FISHER

"Ray Fisher, pitcher for the New York Americans, ranked next to Ford in their corps of slabmen in 1910. Like Ford, he uses the spit-ball.

He started in Middlebury, Vermont, in 1908 and finished the season in Hartford, where his work was the sensation of the Connecticut League.

Base ball writers used to write of his 'double drop.' Whatever he used, he lost only one game in 1908, and in 1909 pitched the Hartfords to the head of the league."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

RUSS FORD

"Russell Ford, star pitcher of the New York Americans, started with Cedar Rapids of the I.I.I. League in 1905. That year he got 16 wins out of 29 games, incidentally striking out 101 men. The next year he won 22 games out of 31 and had 151 strike outs.

After playing in 1908 with Atlanta and in 1909 with Jersey City he showed his true ability by making for the Yankees in 1910 one of the most remarkable records ever had in a first year in the major leagues. Only the veteran Chief Bender headed him in percentage."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

EARLE GARDNER

"Earle Gardner, second baseman of the New York Americans, first played in organized baseball in Springfield, Illinois, in 1905. In 1906 and 1907 he played with the Austin team of the Texas League and had averages of .226 and .291 in batting and .976 and .946 in fielding. In 1908 with Hartford he batted .302 and fielded .970.

In 1909, made too weak by long illness to work his first full season with the Yankees, he played 56 games with Jersey City and batted .294. In 86 games with the New Yorks in 1910 he batted .244 and fielded .939. If he can recover the physical strength that his unfortunate illness of 1909 robbed him of, he is expected to equal some his fine fielding records in the minors."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

CHARLIE HEMPHILL

"Charlie Hemphill, outfielder for the Yankees, commenced his playing career with small-town independent teams in Michigan. He eventually joined the Grand Rapids team, and his work with them was so good that he was eventually bought by the St. Louis Nationals. Most of his big league experience, however, has been with the St. Louis American League team, from where he came to New York in the winter of 1907-08.

In his first year with the Yankees he batted .297 and stole 42 bases. In fielding his work has been good, his percentage for 1909 and 1910 being well up on the list."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

JOHN KNIGHT

"Jack Knight, whose release was purchased from Baltimore by the New York Americans, has won a sure place for himself as one of their most valuable players. In 1910 he at times played every position in the infield, and at the end of the season led the team in hitting. Of all batters in the American League playing over 50 games he ranked fifth. His 129 hits included 25 doubles, four triples and four home runs."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

JACK QUINN

"Jack Quinn, pitcher for the New York Americans, has played with a number of minor leagues since he went into the game in 1905. He came into public notice in 1908 when, pitching for Richmond of the Virginia League, he won fourteen games, tied two and lost none. His being drafted by the Yankees followed.

Playing with them in 1909 and 1910, he showed major league form, and is expected to be one of their regular and successful slabmen during 1911."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

ED SWEENEY

"Edward Sweeney, catcher for the New York Americans, began to play professional ball in Aurora, Illinois, in 1905, when only seventeen years old. He spent 1906 and 1907 with the Columbia and Atlanta teams, and in 1908 he joined the Highlanders but only played in a few games that year.

In 1909 his true value as a backstop became evident, and he has since been his team's mainstay behind the bat. He is tall and muscular, splendidly equipped by nature for the hard work of his position."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

HIPPO VAUGHN

"Jim Vaughn, the big southpaw of the New York Highlanders, was still in his teens when he first joined them in 1908.

He was born in Weatherford, Texas, in April 1888, and until 1906 hardly ever had hands on a base ball. He was a born pitcher, and after his professional start at Corsicana, Texas, went up through the minors like a rocket, landing with the Yankees in less than two years.

In 1908 and 1909 he did not appear in many games,  having trouble both seasons getting and keeping in condition, but in 1910 he commenced to show his real ability, winning 13 games and losing nine, and is counted on for heavy work in 1911."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

HARRY WOLTER

"Harry Wolter, outfielder for the New York Americans, started, like Hal Chase, as a pitcher. During his experiences, which included service in both the majors and minors, he alternated between the pitcher's box and the outfield.

When the Yankees got him from the Boston Red Sox in January 1910, it was intended to keep him as a utility outfielder, but his hitting was so good he got a regular place in right field. In 1910, he batted .267, making 128 hits, good for 173 bases, stole 30 times and scored 84 runs."

TY COBB

"Ty Cobb, Detroit's star outfielder, is conceded by all critics to be one of the fastest ball players that ever stepped on a diamond. In 1910 he led the batsmen of all leagues with the wonderful average of .385, and for the five years ending in 1910, his average was .351.

He is lightning on the bases, and only absolutely perfect throws ever stop him. In the field his speed helps him gather in many an apparently clean hit."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

JIM DELAHANTY

"Jim Delahanty, second baseman for the Detroits, came to them from Washington in 1909. He has stood up well in the fielding records, having been especially handy with the willow in the World's Championship Series of 1909, when he headed the figures of both teams, some of them hitters of no mean ability. His batting for 1908, 1909 and 1910 averaged .280, his 307 hits during that period being good for 395 bases."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

HUGH JENNINGS

"Hughey Jennings, manager of the Detroit Americans, was one of the greatest shortstops that ever stepped on a diamond, and is now one of the most capable and popular managers.

He began playing ball in 1890, and in a few years became one of the stars that made base ball history for the Baltimore team. In 1899 he went to Brooklyn with other Baltimore players under Ned Hanlon, and returned to Baltimore in 1903 as manager.

In 1907 he received a fine offer to manager to manage the Detroits. Accepting, for three years in succession he piloted the Tigers to the head of the American League, and has made himself the idol of Detroit rooters."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

DAVY JONES

"Davy Jones, outfielder for the Detroits, was drafted by them from Minneapolis in the fall of 1905 after a varied experience in the minors and with the Cubs. The Tigers have had such a wealth of material that he did non always play the game regularly, but was a good man to call on, and will probably have a regular position in their star outfield in 1911. His batting average for the four years ending in 1910 was .256 and his fielding average .968."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

ED KILLIAN

"Edward Killian, the southpaw whom Toronto got from Detroit, is expected to strengthen their pitching.

His first season with Detroit was in 1904, and he did a heavy season's work, but finished the season with a slight balance against him on his won and lost record. Since then he has not failed to capture a majority of his games every year. One of his most noteworthy feats was winning both games of a double-header from Boston in late 1909, when the two victories were badly needed."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

GEORGE MORIARTY

"George Moriarty, the third baseman for whose services the Detroits paid a large sum to the New York Americans in 1908, is an inventor and song writer as well as a ball player. 

He is physically and mentally alert, and one of the American League's fastest men on the paths. He constantly watches the pitcher's handling of the ball. If he is on third and the opposing battery gets careless, is liable to steal home- in 1909 he did this five times."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

GEORGE MULLIN

"George J. Mullin, Detroit's reliable pitcher, commenced his diamond career when only eighteen years old with the Wabash Club in 1898. After two years with them he played one year each with the South Bend and Fort Wayne teams, then joined with the Detroits.

He is a steady worker and goes to the mound in a good share of their games, generally turning in a win. For a pitcher he is a good batter and has reached the .300 mark."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

CHARLEY O'LEARY

"Charles O'Leary, one of the Detroit Americans' infielders, is a native of Chicago, and picked up his base ball experience with the strong independent teams about that city. In 1900 he was on the roster of the Chicago White Sox, and after a couple of years with the Des Moines team came back to the majors with Detroit in 1904. He has done much good work for them in their pennant winning years."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

BOSS SCHMIDT

"Charles Schmidt, catcher of the Detroit Americans, though not old in years, has had considerable base ball experience. He started on the diamond in the Missouri Valley League in 1902. In 1904, his best year with the Springfield, Missouri, team, he batted .296 and the Minneapolis management procured his release.

He stayed only one year in the American Association, and beginning with Detroit in 1906 has caught the majority of their games."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

OSCAR STANAGE

"Oscar Stanage, catcher for the Detroit Tigers, is twenty-five years old and a resident of Los Angeles, California. He came directly from San Jose High  School, where he had been a shining light on the school team, to the St. Louis Nationals in 1908. The Cardinals released him to the Cincinnatis, who in turn let him go to Newark of the Eastern League. In 1908 his work for Newark, when he caught effectively in more than two-thirds of their games, brought him back into the major league fold on the roster of the Detroits."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

EDGAR SUMMERS

"Edgar Summers, one of Detroit's regular pitchers, first won his spurs with the Indianapolis Reserves, a strong independent team. In 1907 he played for Indianapolis of the American Association and his work attracted the notice of the Detroit management, who secured the use of his services after that season.

The victories he turned in for the Tigers materially helped him to win the American League in 1908 and 1909, Summers ranking second and third, respectively, among their pitchers for those two years."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

ED WILLETT

"Edgar Willett, a valued member of Detroit's staff of twirlers, is young in years but has put up some good records to his credit.

In 1905 he was picked up by the Wichita Club of the American Association and helped them win the pennant that year. He first appeared with Detroit in September 1907. The following year his winning percentage of .625 helped the Tigers win a second pennant. In 1909 the 22 games he won were again in the service of putting them at the head of the American League for the third time."

NEAL BALL

"Neal Ball, Cleveland's active infielder, first played in 1903 in Toledo, and then with Cedar Rapids of the I.I.I. League, covering second in 1904 and 1905 and short in 1906. In 1907 he graduated to the Montgomery club of the Southern Association and batted .301.

In 1908 and 1909 he played with the New York Americans. Released to Cleveland in early 1909, on July 19 he accomplished the rare feat of making an unassisted triple play, one of five recorded in base ball history."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

JOE BIRMINGHAM

"Joseph Birmingham, one of the Cleveland Americans' regular outfielders, was a leader in high school base ball in his native city of Elmira, New York,  and afterward as a center fielder became the star of the local amateur teams.

In 1906 he began playing professionally with the strong A.J.G. team of the New York State League. His reputation for all-round play was such that the Cleveland club bought his release in August of that year."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

ADDIE JOSS

"Addie Joss, whose death in 1911 was a great loss to his team and the national game, was a native of Cleveland and had always played with the team of that city.

His best year was 1908 when he won 24 games and lost 9 and put the Naps within half a point of the pennant. On October 2 of that year, he pitched a game against Chicago in which no player of the White Sox reached first base.

He was a faithful player, liked by his team mates and respected by the public, many thousands of whom attended his funeral."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

GEORGE STOVALL

"George Stovall, first baseman of the Cleveland Americans, started out as a pitcher but an accident to his arm made him change to first base, and he has developed into one of the best players at that position.

He first played with the Cleveland team in 1904 and has since played all positions outside of the battery. For the last three years he has stuck to his regular position at first, and his work there has ranked high."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

TERRY TURNER

"Terry Turner, the agile and reliable shortstop of the Cleveland Indians, first played professional ball in 1899 at Greenville. His first season with Cleveland was 1904, when he made good at once.

He has also played at second, third and in the outfield for Cleveland and has done good work. In his regular position at short, Terry has led all the shortstops in the American League. His percentage for 1910, .973, was the highest ever made by a shortstop."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

CY  YOUNG

"Cy Young, Cleveland's veteran pitcher, has had a long and successful career. Among his greatest individual feats are a game of May 5, 1904, when not one of the hard-hitting Athletics reached first base, and another on June 30, 1908, against the Highlanders when only one man got on base.

Prior to 1910, Cy failed only three times in his many years pitching to win a majority of his games. In 1910 he won his 500th game, an unsurpassed record.

August 12, 1908- Cy Young Day- was celebrated in Boston. He was presented with all the receipts for the game and more silverware and floral designs than he could carry."

LENA BLACKBURNE

"Russell A. Blackburne, shortstop of the Chicago White Sox, only commenced playing professional ball in 1903. In 1908 he played with the Worcester Club of the New England League and did such fine work for a young player that he was snatched up by  Providence of the Eastern League.

They made a lucky find, as the infielder's work for them gave them a national reputation, and he was purchased by the White Sox at a large figure."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

JIGGS DONOHUE

"Jiggs Donohue, who was engaged in 1911 to manage the Galveston team of the Texas League and has been working hard to improve their standing, was one of the best first basemen in the country when he played for the Chicago White Sox. He joined them in 1904, and in 1906, 1907 and 1908 led all American League first-sackers in fielding.

Accepting difficult chances was his specialty. In 1906 he was a most efficient cog in the machine that won the American League pennant and then beat the Cubs in the World's Series."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

PATSY DOUGHERTY

"Patrick H. Dougherty, one of the outfielders of the Chicago Americans, started playing baseball in Bristol, Connecticut, in 1898. In 1899 played with the Bridgeports of the Connecticut League, from where he graduated to the Boston Americans in 1902. 

The Red Sox sent him to the New York Highlanders in 1904, and after two years with them and a short period when he played truant from organized ball, he joined the White Sox in July 1906.

He is a fast man on the bases, having stolen 105 bases times in all in 1908-09-10."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

HUGH DUFFY

"Hugh Duffy, the veteran manager of the Chicago White Sox, was in his day one of the greatest of great players. After playing ball in New England cities he was with the Chicago Nationals for two years, and then joined the ill fated Players League in 1890. In 1891, he started his brilliant career with the Boston Nationals. In 1894 he got into the small and select company of .400 hitters with an average of .438, and in the ten seasons from 1889 to 1898 never batted less than .300.

Since 1901 he has managed the Milwaukee, Philadelphia and Providence teams, and owns a good interest in the latter. In Chicago, his work has given good satisfaction to rooters for the White Sox."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

FRANK LANGE

"Frank Lange, pitcher of the Chicago Americans, was the leader in percentage of victories of all their twirlers, and fifth in the official records of the American League.

He is a graduate of the Illinois-Wisconsin League which, while only a Class D aggregation, has turned out some very successful players. In 1908 Lange helped Wausau win the pennant of the IW League, and in the fall the White Sox considered themselves lucky to draft him.

In 1909 he did not pitch enough to get into the official records, but in 1910 won 9 games and lost 4. Manager Hugh Duffy thinks the ex-Wausau man should win a lot of games in 1911."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

HARRY LORD

"Harry D. Lord, third baseman of the Chicago White Sox, was procured in a trade with the Boston Americans during the season of 1910. His playing was noticeably good when he was at school and college, and when only eighteen he played professionally at Portland, Maine.

In 1906 and 1907 he batted .280 and .278 for Worcester and Providence respectively. Since entering on his major league career with Boston in 1908, he has made his mark as one of the most brilliant infielders in the American League."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

MATTY MCINTYRE

"Matty McIntyre, the outfielder whose services the Chicago Americans bought during the winter of 1910-11, is a native of Staten Island. His work there with local teams got him a place with the minors, and after a few years of experience the Detroit club purchased his release from Buffalo in 1903.

Beginning with 1904 his services to the Tigers have been good, and it is expected that his acquisition by the White Sox will strengthen their outfield."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

AMBY MCCONNELL

"Ambrose McConnell, one of the Chicago Americans' infielders, played with independent teams in the minor leagues all the way from Rutland, Vermont, to Beloit, Wisconsin, and back until he batted .320 for Providence of the Eastern League in 1907.

At the close of that year the Boston Americans purchased his services, and in 1908 and 1909 he was their regular second baseman. The White Sox got him from Boston during the 1910 season."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

FRED OLMSTEAD

"Fred Olmstead, one of the most promising young spitball artists on the payroll of the White Sox, had some valuable experience while on their reserve list. In 1908 he played a dozen games with Des Moines of the Western League and in 1909 was sent to Minneapolis of the American Association.

His season with the latter was most successful. He won 24 games and lost 9 and allowed opposing teams less than two runs a game. In 1910 he pitched for the White Sox and proved to be up to major league standards."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

FRED PAYNE

"Fred Payne, who in 1910 caught a majority of the games of the Chicago American League team, came to them from Detroit. It was a good trade for him, as it gave him the chance to get into the game more regularly. In 1908 he caught only 15 full games for Detroit. In 1909 he finished 27 games for the White Sox, in which he made only two errors on 150 chances, and in 1910 he ranked third among American League backstops who played over 50 games."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

JIM SCOTT

"James Scott, one of the Chicago Americans' pitchers, first played professionally with independent teams in Peoria, Illinois, and Kankakee, Illinois. In 1904 and 1905 he pitched for Davenport of the I.I.I. League, and in 1906 for Rock Island of the same league. In 1907 and 1908 he belonged to the strong Wichita club of the Western Association.

The White Sox bought his release in the fall of 1908, and in 1909 and 1910 he did much good work for them. In 1910, although he finished on the wrong side of the record in the 229 2/3 innings he pitched, his opponents made only 187 hits in 807 times at bat, a batting average of .225."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

LEE TANNEHILL

"Lee Ford Tannehill, the veteran infielder of the Chicago Americans, joined them in 1904 and in that year led all major league third basemen with a fielding percentage of .948. Since then, his work has been consistent, and when the fielding records come out each year his name is always among the leaders.

In 1910 he covered short in 38 of his games, and covered it well. It is uncertain whether he will have his old position at third in 1911, but he showed good form during the early games."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

ED WALSH

"Ed Walsh, one of the star twirlers of the Chicago Americans, is one of the very best spit-ball pitchers in the business.

In 1904 he went only 10 full games for Chicago, but kept developing, and in 1906, when the White Sox won the pennant and the World's Championship, was largely instrumental in their success. In 1910 he did not break even, although an analysis shows that in the 369 2/3 innings he pitched, opposing teams made only 242 hits in 1,294 times at bat, a batting average of only .187."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

DOC WHITE

"Doc White, the Chicago Americans left-handed pitcher, is one of their most dependable workers. In the seven years ending in 1910 he has never failed to finish the season on the right side of the ledger. In 1906, when the White Sox won the American League pennant, he contributed 18 victories out of the 24 games he was responsible for.

He is a good fielder and does not fail to cover first when the baseman has to go after the ball. In 1910 he had 30 putouts, more than any other pitcher in the American League and more than any two pitchers in the National League.

Doc, besides being a good ball player, has had considerable as a singer and writer of songs."

BILL CARRIGAN

"William Carrigan, the efficient worker behind the bat for the Boston Red Sox, like many other fine players, is an ex-member of the Holy Cross college team. The Boston Americans, for whom he caught a few games in 1906, let him go to Toronto in 1907, and he batted .319 and stood well among the other Eastern League catchers. In 1908 he was the substitute catcher for the Red Sox and has since worked in most of their games."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

ED CICOTTE

"Edward V. Cicotte, one of the most dependable pitchers on the staff of the Boston Americans, had several years of experience in the minors before his purchase by that team, some of his best work having been done for the Des Moines team, for whom he won 18 games out of 27 in 1906. In 1907 his good record with the Lincoln club of the Western League caused him to be taken up by the Red Sox."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

CLYDE ENGLE

"Clyde Engle, whom the Boston Americans got from the New York Highlanders in May 1910, came to the latter team in 1909 from Newark of the Eastern League. With Newark he had played in the outfield and at second and third, and in New York he played left field for the season of 1909. The Highlanders had so much outfield material in 1910 that they let him go to Boston, where Lord's suspension and departure gave him a chance to cover third, which is expected to be his regular position in 1911."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

ED KARGER

"Edward Karger, the successful southpaw of the Boston American League team, is a native of Texas and made his entry into the professional game with the Houstons, for whom he won 24 games and lost 8 in 1905. The Pirates drafted him for the season of 1906 but traded him to the St. Louis Nationals, who in turn transferred him to the Boston Red Sox.

In 1910 his work for them was very creditable. He won 11 games and lost 7, a percentage of .611. His batting was especially good for a pitcher, averaging .294 for the season."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

RED KLEINOW

"Red Kleinow, the veteran catcher whom the Boston Americans got from the New York Highlanders late in May 1910, was let go because the husky Ed Sweeney was at that time apparently going to catch nearly all the games for the Yankees. In Boston, the case was different, Carrigan having no efficient substitute until Kleinow arrived. During the balance of the season Jack caught many good games for the Red Sox. Soon after joining the Bostons, he slammed out four hits in four times up in one game against Detroit."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

TRIS SPEAKER

"Tris Speaker, the Boston Americans' hard-hitting outfielder, came from Texas, where he batted .318 for the Houston club in 1907. For the 1908 season, the Boston club sent him to Little Rock, where he batted .350.

Recalled to Boston in 1909, he made 165 hits that year for a total of 242 bases, and in 1910 hit safely 183 times, for 252 bases.

He is fast on his feet, both in the field and when base-running."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

JAKE STAHL

"Jake Stahl, who announced early in 1911 that he had decided to quit baseball for more prosaic work in a bank, became known as a good player when in college. His first professional work was for the Boston Americans in 1903. In 1904, 1905 and 1906 he played with the Washingtons, and in 1908, after a brief term with the Highlanders, returned to his first team, the Red Sox.

His work at first and at bat has been an element of great strength. In 1910, he made 144 hits, including 19 doubles, six triples and 10 home runs."

-1911 American Tobacco Company Set T205

HEINIE WAGNER

"Charley Wagner, captain and shortstop of the Red Sox, came up to Boston from Newark in 1907. The Newark management had carried him for several years as a utility infielder when in 1906, an accident to the regular shortstop gave him a chance to show his ability, and in sequence he graduated into the majors.

His work in the field and at bat has won him a secure place in the Boston lineup."
