NEW TORK, Bept 28. When the Na tional league pennant race of 1916 gets un der way a field leader who has seen more continuous service as, a manager In its ranks than any other leader now In the game will be among the missing. From official circles In Pittsburgh comes the news that Fred Clarke Is now serving hla last campaign aa the head of the Bucca neers and another man will be In charge before next season rolls around. Ills pass ing will leave John McOraw as the only remaining member of the noted pennant trlumlvlrate Clarke, Chance and Mc Oraw which has accounted for every gon- fa'.on since Ned Hanlon led his Brook lyn Buperhas in front In 1900. Clarke has accounted for four National league pennants and two world's championships and Mcdraw haa gained five pennants and one world's title. Clarke went to Pittsburgh at the be ginning of the season of 1900, so he has been In active charge of the Pirates for fifteen successive seasons. He waa Included In the fourteen players who were transferred to the Smoky City from Louisville when Barney Dreyfus, who had been at tha head of the Louis ville base ball club, purchased an In terest In the Pittsburgh club. Fourteen Colonels, as the Louisville players were known when that city was represented In the twelve-club National league cir cuit, were transferred to Pittsburgh for five Pirates and the sum of 22S.00O. Other notables besides Clarke in this transfer were ' Hans Wagner, Claude Richie, Tommy Leach, Charles Phlllppt and Rube Waddell. Waddell remained there only two seasons, Richie until 1901. Phlllppl until 1911, Leach until 1913, and Wagner la still there with Clarke. Noteworthy Career. Clarke's managerial career has buen a noteworthy one. For fourteen successive yeara hla team was a pennant contender, never finishing outside the first division. Ii 1904 he was fourth and he reached the same position last season. In twelve cam paigns he finished third or better. In the campaigns of 1901, 1902 and 19U3 Clarke led his team to the National league champion ship and In 1909 he repeated. In 190S and 1909 the Pirates were world's champlona. defeating Boston and Detroit, respec tively. In 1908 he fell one game short of ths championship, tleing the Giants for second place after the Cubs had won the memorable play-off game .which put the Giants one game out of first place. The Plratea finished second In 19"9. the first year Clarke was In command, holding this same position In 1906, 1907, 1909 and 1912. Thry finished third In 1909, 1910 and 1911. The present season threatens to end the long run of first division teams at Pitts burgh, though It la still possible that the Pittsburgh team may crowd Into the first four. Alwaya Great Player. As a player Clarke's name will go down in history aa ene of the greatest In the game In hla prime he was a remarkable batsman and lie closed h's active career on the diamond with a mark of .324 for 101 gamea In 1911, his eighteenth consecutive season In the major league. Getting away with a mark of .75 In lsat, when he joined the Louisville team In mldseason, he fol lowed with marks of .300 or better In ten of the twelve succeeding seasons, missing the select circle by a point la 1906 and getting .2U la 1900, his first season at Pittsburgh. Clarke la one of the players who can claim distinction as a .400 bats man, having reached the high mark of .402 In U97. In two other campaigns he batted above .360. In his eighteen years of active service Tie finished la the charmed circle eleven times and never batted as low as .390. Great as Clarke waa with the willow, hla batting never outshone hla ability in the field. Up to the time of his retire ment he .was among the beat outfielders In the game, rated solely from the stand point of fielding. In the All-Star Na tional league teams named In "Spalding's Guide" for the five-year periods between 1900-1906 and 1905-1910, Clarke got the call each time for left field. He waa rated for his ability to "play the batsman," and he could cover ground and throw with the best of them. Record Hard to Understand. H's fielding records while with the Louisville club are difficult to under stand In view of the great difference be tween these marks and his Pittsburgh figures. D'fferent scoring-methods may have caused the difference. In four of the five campaigns at Louisville for which figures are available Clarke made great records for assists and remarkably poor In error-making, generally showing more errors than 'assists. The winter between the seasons of 1911 and 1912 Clarke announced that he waa through with base ball. The remark was not taken seriously, as Clarke had Just completed a most successful year as a fielder and batsman. He made several wagers that he would not take part In a game during the season of 1912, and he won them all, refusing to go In even as a pinch hitter. Since that time he has gone In a 'few times to "pinch hit," but haa been too Inactive as a player to be Included In the playing records. Career Started la 1802. The base ball career of the Pirate chief tain dates back to 1S92, when he joined the Hastings, Neb., team at the age of 19. He finished that season with the EL Jo seph (Mo.) Independents and the follow ing spring he Joined the Bt. Joseph team of the Kansas State league. In mldsea son of 1S93 he went to the Montgomery. Ala., team' of the Southern league. For the first two months of the season of 1894 he was with the Savannah, Ga., team and then he was purchased by Louisville, at that time In the National league. Blnce June, 1S94, Clarke has been a prominent figure In the National league. Fred Clarke's record In ths National league: O. Ab. R. II Bb.Pe.Po.A. E.
