BUSY YEAR AMONG PLAYERS
Present Bate Ball Year Active One
in Exchange of Men.
ALL ARE STRENGTHENING UP
Team In the Major Leagraea Search
In Kvery where to Get Man
to Holster 'p Weak
Pieces.
NKW YORK, Bept B.-Tha base ball
season of 1914, already noted a a period
of unusual occurrence In the national
sport promises to establish a record for
the purchase and exchange of players In
the big league. Omitting entirely any
reference to the sensational trade and
purchases which preceded the opening of
the pennant races, the present season ha
been an exceptional one In thl respect.
With th exception of the world' cham
pion Philadelphia Athletic, every club In
both the American and National league
haa made unusual . efforts toward
strengthening one or -more departments by
means of exchange or cash transactions.
Not slone have the minor associations
been Invaded, for big league clubs have
dealt with each other to an extent greater
than has been the cane In other years.
In the American league Boston secured
Kgan, Shore and Ruth from the Balti
more club of the International, Hoblltznl
from Cincinnati, Vean Gregg from Cleve
land In exchange for Coumbe, John
son and Kuan, as well as several other
minor league and college players. The
Chicago White Box have signed or re
leased to date an even doxen players, not
Including Hal Chase, who Jumped to the
Buffalo Federals. The dealing, however,
ha boon confined to th minor and col
lege class, although Comlskey holds tho
present season record In his purchase of
Fielder Felch from Milwaukee of ths
American association at 312,000 cash and
two players.
than arc. sixteen. Men.
The New York American have pur
chased, exchanged or released sixteen
pjayers since April 14. Some of th big
league material secured Included Catcher
Nunumaker from the Boston Amerloans,
Pitcher Carroll Brown from the Athletics,
In addition to Birdie Cree from the Balti
more Internationals, Cleveland ts an
other club which ha dipped deeply Into
the players' mart Cloae to twenty play
er have been bought, sold, exchanged or
lost by desertion this summer. A ma
jority of these tr unmet Ions Involved
minor leagues, the principal major league
deal being with tha Boston Americans,
whereby Pitcher Vean Oregg went to the
Red Box in exchange for Pitcher Coumbe
and Johnson and Catcher Ben Kgan.
Aside from the purchase of two minor
league players and the release of Catcher
Gibson, the Detroit club has stood pat to
date, and the same may be said of Clark
Griffith's Washington combination. The
capital club purchased Outfielder Mike
Mitchell from the Pittsburgh National,
released Pitcher Collier and Caahlon, and
secured J. F. Blair from the Martlnsburg,
W. Va., club. Tho St. Louts Browns re
leased two. players and purchased one for
future delivery.
Nationals Alao Active.
Far more activity In thla direction has
been shown in the National league. The
Cincinnati club record shows that close
to tlklrty players have figured In one way
or another In club deals or Jumid to
tho Federal league. Claude Derrick was
bought from Baltimore and then traded
to Chicago for First Baseman Mollowlts.
lloblltxel went to the Boaton Americans
nd Tex Krwln from Brooklyn to Cin
cinnati and back again. Bert Danlela,
former Yankee and part of Jack Dunn's
to.1,000 Baltimore International league as
sets, found his way to the Cincinnati
club, to say nothing of a number of
minor league and college players.
Pittsburgh scouts, too, have been busy,
and the Pirates have thirteen deals of one
kind or another to their credit. Ankle
from the deal with the Washlngtons,
whereby Mike Mitchell was sold, the
transaction Involved the purchase or re
lease of player from or to minor leagues
The Philadelphia Nationals have ten
transaction on record, the principal on
being the trade of Josh Devore to Boa
ton fur Third Baseman John Martin.
Boston records show some thirteen deals.
The major transfers Include the sale of
George Beck to the Cleveland Americana,
the trading of Hub Perdue to Bt. Louis
for Players V lilt ted and Cather and Josh
Devore's acquisition for John Martin.
Cabs Make Eleven Chances.
The Chicago Cubs have eleven trans
actions in the record. Ruminating the
minor, league purchases and releases, the
schedule shows that Pitcher Koestner was
sold to Cincinnati and First Baseman
Mellowts traded to the aaiue club for
Claude Derrick. The H. Iau1s Cardinals
have held fairly steady to the early sea
son enrollment. Hageman was sold to the
Chicago Nationals and Whltted and
Cather traded to Boston fur Pitcher Per
due. The other deals Involve minor league
players.
The New York Giants hsve a list of
thirteen players signed or r leased this
season, but not In a single case doe an
other major league club figure In the
dealing. - Brooklyn's principal efforts In

Expect to Spring Some New Work
When He Meets Johnny Dundee.
JOHNSON AND WTLLARD WATT
Both Take Fighting; Kaslly and So
Try ta Wear Down Their Oppo
nents 1'ntl Opportasilty
- Arises for Hard Panch.
CLEVELAND. O.. Sept. 6. Johnny KI1
bane announces that he wilt change his
tactics when he meets Johhny Dundee
for the featherweight championship. K1I
hane avers that he mode a mistake when
he met Dundee before. On that occasion
he tried for a knockout and in doing so
mlsoed his chance to score a win on
points, and Dundee was given a draw.
Kllbane may make sure of winning by
playing It safe, but It Is certain he will
not Increase his .popularity thereby. In
the east Kllbane Is far from popular on
account of his excessively cautious tactics.
Callfornians are even less Inclined to be
patient with a champion of this caliber,
Judging by the result of Charley White's
bout with Axevedo recently.
Although White stopped. the Portuguese
In the eighteenth round, he has been
roundly criticised on account of his light
hitting. It Is the general opinion on the
far coast that the conqueror of Willie
Ritchie does not come up to the cham
pionship, standard. Surprise was ex-
rM..,1 t K , 1 1 r V, nnn a irir (i.a na-
son was able to beat Ritchie In that bout,
at Milwaukee, and If the pair come to
gether in California for the American
tifle Ritchie will be a strong favorite in
the tettlng.- - - .
Both Great Boxers.- -
As a matter of fact, both 'White and
Kllbane are great boxers of their type;
but their tyne is not popular. Both are
very weak In the attack and make a poor
showing when called upon to force the
pace. Their forte Is countering making
the other man lead and take tho chances.
Their system Is tactically sound and
makes for winning fights, but does not
earn them the plaudits: of the,c.rowd.
This explains why Kllbane, although
Invincible in his class, has made few
friends. Kllbane la spectacular and ef
fective only when his opponents rush him
and make all the pace.
The same applies to White, who plays
the countering game even more strictly
than Kilbane. The Ritchle-Whlt contest
was & very exciting event, but only be
cause Ritchie made it so by his constant
aggressiveness. Against an opponent,
who covers up and refuses to take the
Initiative, White does not loom up as a
world beater by any means, yet he will
always be able to beat Ritchie.
Tire Their Opponents.
Jack Johnson and Jess Wlllsrd also
wait out their opponents to an extent that
makes their bouts extremely tiresome for
tho spectaors. In Wlllard this has been
regarded as k great fault, but no one has
yet undertaken to show that Johnson
does not know how to fight The fact
inai jonnson is champion despite all
efforts to accomplish his downfall Is an
insurmountable obstacle to any such line
of reasoning.
But It Is a fact thot until Johnosn won
the title he was not taken Berlously. For
years he went along fighting his defens
ive battles and only a few close stu
dents bf boxing realised that he wan a
great fighter. If he had not been given
the opportunity to fight for the title he
still would be regarded merely as "a big
strapping fellow with a clever defense
but a yellow streak."
Kllbane la In very much the same po
sition as Johnson wss before he met
Tommy Burns. Unfortunately for Kll
bane there is no featherweight Jeffries
.. ...... ,u u.imi na inereny win great
renown. If given the opportunity Kllbane
probably would make good, for within
certain limits th featherweight king is a
wonderfully proficient boxer. At any
rate It Is a mistake to refer to him as
an "accidental champion," although It is
true that he 1 a failure a a ten-round
performer from the pectatora' point of
view.

NEW TORK. Sept. 6.-Of all the pro
fessions In the world none perhaps Is such
a tyrant as base bail. Not even actors
are so "shop" bound In their talk as the
knights of the diamond.
Whenever one or more players, or for
mer players, for that matter, are gathered
together) base ball is certsln to form th
etaplo of their talk. Such a group met
yesterday In a local cafe and refought
counties battles of the past and tri
umphed In scores of diamond contests yet
unborn.
The talk ran on great catches, timely
hits and bad decisions.
They spoke of pitchers who hod been
the pride of big cities who were now toll
ing In leagues so small that even the
scouts never disturbed them at their
work. When' the fund of-truthful hap
penings was well-night exhausted one of
the men told the story of Kit Kane.
"Kit Kane." he said, "was a kid out
fielder down In a little league where they
took a hay crop every year from the out
field. Gosh, how he coul wallop the pltoh-
ers! Gosh, how he could wallop the pltckj
but that league was pie for him.

"Ten 'days along In the season one of
those big, crasy left-handers plunked a
ball on the side of his head:' "Down went
Kit First we sent for the doctor and
then for a priest. Ws shipped the kid to
the hospital In a hurry, but the doctors
found his skull was thloker than we
thought and they said he'd get well, all
right.
"Kit came along fast for a week and
then he had a relapse. It looked as if he
never would get out. yet .the doctor down
at the hospital said, as far as he could
see, there wasn't anything wrong.
"By and by the manager went and Just
hauled Kit out. He figured one; kid was
plumb scared to get back and have the
balls go whlzsing by his head, but there
wasn't anything in that, because th first
game Kit' broke Into he hammered out
two doubles and a home run. He was
stepping right Into 'em all th time, too.
"But before a week was over, bang! he
got another smash on the head, and away
they tock him to the hospital. It wasn't
such a fast shoot toppled him this time,
but Kit took even longer to get well. He
cam back and played only three days
before he got another wallop which sent
him down and out and back to his cot
"The veteran that roomed with Kit
tipped the manager off.
" 'Say,' he said, I think the kid. Is tak

take much stock In the story first off.
but when he went to the hospital he saw
Harriet. The town may have been deep
In' the 'sticks, but Harriet was a major
leaguer.
''Kit watched her 'round the room Uke
she was a curve ball, and It didn't take
the boss more than a few minutes to
find out that the kid was Just dotty about
her. The manager accused him of stick
ing hie head out and getting beaned on
purpose. Kit looked as sheepish as if
he'd been, caught napping on the bases.
" 'I Just got to see her,', he confessed.
'Pino and dandy,' save the boss, 'but
rut out this getting smashed on tha head.
You might get one a bit too fast, and
that would be the end of a natural hitter.
Have a little sense. Ask her where she
lives and tell her you want to come
