Max Carey, Piitsburgh outfielder, now can be called the Tris Speaker of the National League, for last sea- son he performed a stunt that pre- viously no one elso than the great Texan had been able to do. By absorbing 419 flies, the Pitisburgher set a new record for the suburbani- tes of the older organization and came within six of the number gata- ered in by Speaker in 1814. Tris was the first American League out- fielder to pass the 400 mark in "'put- outs" and Max is the first National outfielder to do so, unless some one turned such a feat previous to 1901. Carey, by annexing 419 "put outs," virtually equalled Speaker's record of two vears ago, for tiien Tristam E. played in 157 combats while this past season Max engaged in but 154. And Carey was only very briefly 'in one of these contests. DILLION AND PARCY MATCH, of Sport | URDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1016. | TIGERS INVITE DARCY. # a sind If Les.

Incidentally the news will come as a pleasurable shock to the legion of admirers of the great golfers on this side of the Atlantic.
