Through’ Four Times as Big Leaguer, Konetchy Back to Life as Buffaloes’ Boss. flf RALPH WAGNER. DWAIUJ J. KON ETCHY signs to manage ths Omaha Western league ball club In the 1923 campaign! When that bit of ' news flashed out J of the south during the recent meeting of minor league club ownerb, it jneant that the once famous major leaguer nan passed into tne discard as n performer In the big ring, but It didn't mean that the baseball career of Konetchy had ended. In baseball It seems that all things come to sn end, especially to players. Some players shine in fast company for awhile ami then like a star dron ing out of the heavens, cease to be. Thu* docs the hand of fate treat big league performers. But with Ed Ivonetchy it's different. Konetchy's baseball career tyss not ended, although his majbr league playing days are a thing of the past. Konetchy was juggled froth one club in the majors to another. Again and again he was pronounced “all through" and "down and out" as a major leaguer. Rut there was always some manager who thought differently and thus saved hint from ending his major league career. Fifteen Years In Rig Show. Baseball records tell us that n few other men have lived longer In life In big league baseball than the new Buffalo manager. But not one ever continued ekistence through more ■ 1 .. . • 1 I j than 18 years alter being declared "all through" at least seven different occasions during that period of time. At the age of 37. wttlt 15 yean of hlg league r>lay behind him. Koa etchy was ranked as one of the vit al rogs In a big leagtte hall club. Then Father Time got busy and the new blood in the big show gradual ly ousted the big Bohemian frpm the ranka of major league ball. I-et’s peep Into the record of Ed Konetchy and see when the Buffalo boss lifted the baseball bludgeon for pay. Konetchy broke into professional hall with the Lacrosse team in the Wisconsin State league in 1985. In 1907 the hlg Bohemian was purchas ed for t600 by the St. Louts Cardinals. Konetchy was with the Cards only a short time when he established him-j self as one of the greatest fielding first basemen In the game. His won. derfwl physique stamped him hs a person highly productive of feats of sluggery. Thus did Edward J. Konetchy get started In the whirlpool of baseball. The Bohemian played with the Cards until 1913 when the moguls of the Mound City club decided that Konet chy was about "done” as a major leaguer. A chance soon came to trade him to the Pittsburgh Pirates along with Harmon and Mowry for five Pi rates. In 1914 Konetchy was with the Pirates. But he didn’t do very well with the Pittsburgh club, so the Pi rate manager thought the Cards were right in saying that the big boy was "all through.” However, the Federal league gang didn't think so, and immediately signed up the Bo hemian. Konetchy was one of the highest salaried players In Hie out 1 law league and his play In this loop attracted other major longue scouts. When the Federal league warfare was Ironed out and the dove of peace fluttered over the land of baseball, the Boston Braves came forth and ' bought Konetchy for something like $4,000. He remained in "Bean Town" from 1916 to 191S and then the Braves owner rame to the conclusion, that Konetchy was "all through” a second time. Ttye Braves asked waived* on Konetchy and then the Braves owner came to Charlie Ebbets for the sunt of $1,500, which wasn’t t considered a very large sum for a bull player In those days, especially via the waiver route. . Konetchy donned a Brooklyn uni form In 1919. Mind you, he was In his 35th year when this happened. The big Bohemian was five years be yond the prime of even the sturdiest ball player. During the slugging campaign of 1919. Konetchy played a brilliant game nt first base and pounded the horsehide for nigh on to .300. How Konetchy played in 1920 is history- The work of the veteran around first base was faultless and Ills timely hitting was a big help to the Dodgers in winning another National league pennant. In mid-season o( 1921, the Dodger management, following In the footsteps of the Cardinals, the I’irates, and the Braves, decided that Konetchy was "all through.” His hitting had fallen off and ho seemed suddenly to have slowed up. But once again there was a manager who could sec a little more baseball ability in Konetchy. The Phillies mine forth, paid the Dodgers $5,500, and carted Koneteliy bark home with them. Konetchy never did got along very well with Charlie Ehbets, owner of the Dodgers, so when Ed donned a Phlllle uniform, he Immediately performed an other "comeback.” How Koneteliy ca vorted around first for the Phillies is known by every baseball follower. The big fello^ displayed a brand of basebaH in 1951 that was Infinitely better than any other Phlllle. He fielded well and hit with all his old time vigor. So, when the season of 1925 opened, those who figured the Phll lle chances, reckoned Konetchy still good enough to hold Ills position on the team. Hut Father Time entered into his bnsebkll career and soon he was retrnaed to Toledo dub of the American association. During the many years that Ko netehy was a member ot the big show lie played first base practi cally all of the time. He participat ed in the world's aeries of 1920 and led the National league first base men in fielding for several years. During the time lie was with the Toledo Mudhens last year he batted well over .310. • • The fact that Konetchy loves the game and still gets a boyish delight out of it, and that he keeps hlmsolt In fine shape, led Barney Burch, own cr of the Omaha club, to give i large sum in order that the veterni Would come to this city as managei of the Buffaloes. Ku^etchy is weL thought of by all bf.seball playen and Is considered a very valuable addition to the Western league. That he will *be a success as man ager of the Buffaloes is not disputed Matchmaking for Madison Square Garden No Snap, Says Flournoy New York. Jan. (I.—(Special.)—The Job of matchmaker at a fight club is about the worst punishment any man ever had wished on him. If you don't think so, Just step in on Frank Flournoy In Madison Square Garden some afternoon and watch the usually affable Frank go through his stunts of matching a brace of boxers. However, we would suggest that before you step In on Frank you might try to discover exactly what kind of mood he happens be In. Just as likely as not he Is in the throes of despair trying to sign up some pug, and If he is you had better take the back door for It and trip in some other day. Dealing with boxers and managers is a tough Job. Before Mr. Flournoy had his present Job wished on him he was the most affable southern gentle man you could hope to find. The entire world was about right with Frank, hut now the world is In a rut and there Is another side to Frank’s nature he never lenew he possesed. Nearly every fighter has an exaggerated opinion of his own ability, and In nddltlon his demands for the most pari are usually out of all proportion. That la what makes It tough on the matchmaker. Then, nhother thing with the boxer or manager, you must not try to drop him into any hard spots. He wants easy picking all the time. Champions are the worst offenders, as Mr. Flournoy Is prepared to testify. Dealing With Champa. Flrat of all, you try to sign up one of those champs and he Insists on picking an opponent that wouldn't draw files at the box office. That Isn’t all. In his modest way he will take something In the neighborhood of 50 per cent of the house for his trouble, end If you are not careful with him he v^lll ask that you throw In part of the building to boot. Of oourae, you give that bird the air. but the next customer you go to work on is not one bit easier In his demands. So it goes for seven days every week, trying to make up a com plete program for one night's show. Managers Mere Office Hoys. Another thing the matchmaker has to contend with. Most of the present day managers are managers In name only. They cannot sign up for their boxers before they consult them os to the terms, and as to who and whnt their prospective opponent amounts to. If the opponent selected Is a rough customer. Mr, Boxer tells his man ager so and threatens him with the gate. Can you Imagine a manager of the old school being compelled to consult his charge before making a match? Not on your life! The manger of other days made the match and told his boxer to prepare for the fuss and didn't bother about telling him who his opponent might be. It’s a Hard Life, Mates. Yes, Indeed. If there is anything tougher In this world than the job of matchmaker, Mr. Flournoy hasn't found It out. There Is no letup to the work. Scarcely have you prepared one card than you are hard at work on another. As an assistant Mr. Flournoy has the experienced Scotty Monteith, who has been kicking around 'the boxing game for more than a quarter af a century. Between them htey man age to make the grade every week. University Hospital Patients Increase During the last year the University of Nebraska college of medicine hos pital received and cared for 2,411 patients, as against 2.273 in 1921, ac cording to an announcement by Dean I.

Kansas valley season tonight, 30 to 20. The Kansans took the lead early In the game and Nebraska was never successful In forging ahead, the score Kansas valley esason last night, 30 to Ackerman and Bowman, Kansas for wards. started the game for Kansas. Within three minutes after the game started the Jayhawkers had a six point lead. Four personal foills that were called on Nebraska within a few minutes ennbled Bowman to toss three free throws. With tin score 9 to 0 against Ne braska. Coach Warden Frank sent In an entirely new quintet. Before play had been culled, Coach Allen of Kan bus withdrew his first string men and substituted five new players. The game was clearly of a preseason type. Both Kansan and Nebraska showed Inability to score when within shoot ing range, although Kansas forwards succeeded In advancing to within striking distance of the basket. The five-man defense of the Jay hawkers battled the Nebraskans until well Into the second hulf. With a few exceptions, every Cornhusker's shot was made from near the middle of the floor until the last few minutes of play, when Crosier and Ward ad vanced four times for field goals. Referee Leslie Edmonds was kep't_ busy calling personal fouls on the Ne bra ska players. Crosier was the star of the Nebras ka outfit, aided materially by War ren.

Ban Johnson Has Clever Scheme to Force Minors to Accept Draft Baseball, like life, ia just one damthlng after another, from the view point of the club owners. Just ns the minor leagues thought that, taking ad vantage of the inexperience of Judge Landis, they had put over a national agreement giving them the power to collect $75,000 or $100,000 per each for tlielr ball players, along comes Ban Johnson with n scheme to break that monopoly with a clever form of boycott. And Just ns the majors thought they had developed a plan-to corner the player market, along comes the new players' union with the possibility of upsetting the whole works if some body has discovered a brand of glue which will stick long enough. Warned liy the use made by some' of the minors of their exemption from the draft to extort blue sky prices for their promising'players, the majors negotiated a joint treaty by which they pledge themselves not to release a player to ft minor club unless that player could be drafted back in'o the big show In esse he proved worthy of a second chance In fast company. Violate Own Agreement. As the Pacific Coast league, the American asaoctation and the Interna tional league are among the minors which claim exemption from the draft thia move by the majors means that the biggest three subsidiary circuits cannot obtain young player* from the higher-ups unless they sign an agree ment to, take that player subject to possible draft In the fall, which would he a violation of their own hard and fast agreement. The only way the independent min or leaguers can obtain good results under the new arrangements is either to take them from the smaller leagues and develop them for themselves, or to accept them temporarily from the bigger fellows under an option con tract making the player subject to re call, or by submitting to the draft. Ad" the major leagues havo^first crack at aJI th* budding talent ip the Utile cir cuit* and have mor* than doubled the number of players which may he farmed out under option contracts, it will he only n few years before the b'g clubs will control practically all the pood players In the country ex cept those whom ape has slowed up enough to make It impossible for them to maintain the big-time speed.
