“SMILING JAMES" MUTRIE
PUT GIANTS INTO FORM
_
NEW YORK. Oct. 11—"Smiling,
James" Mutrie. Who once owned
the Polo grounds, owned the Giants,
nicknamed them, managed them and
won two pennants with them, today
at 77 years smiles as of old and
follows “his" Giants in the sporting
pages.
Baseball gave Mutrie both fame
I and money, but now he is bereft of
well nigh everything save his smile
and memories. He is crippled in his
legs, his hands are snarled and
twisted as relics of his plavir.g years
ago and his jaw is ail awry where
once it stopped a hard hit balL
Over on Staten Island this grand
old veteran of the game has found
, a home base in a lodging house, and j
' his greatest joy is in taking the
i neighborhood youngsters to shady j
, spots and spinning yarns to them of j
| the Babe Ruths of years gone by. |
“Yes. I namued the Giants my- j
self." he chuckles. "It was perfectly
natural to call them that. The boys
were all tall in those days because
most of them were sluggers and they
didn’t go in for speedy playing then.
One day when we were winning. I
remarked. ’There are Giants, both in
stature and playing.’ and the name
stuck.
“No sir. baseball ain’t any better
today than it was then, only on a
business basis." “Smiling James” has
his opinions and he sticks to them.
“The first game I ever put on in
New York was in 1SS0 when John
B. Day and I started the Mets. It
was played on the old Polo grounds
and 2,000 persons came out to see
us play—that was a great gather
ing.
“And believe me. we had our
troubles with the fans. One year I
suffered an injury and had to um
pire. I had to run many times for
my life and once, when a woman
fan took exception to one of my
decisions, she horsewhipped me.
“Once I remember we walked five
miles on a dusty turnpike to play
a game. Oh yes. we won—136 to 17.
We didn’t have any upholstery to
catch balls with in those days. I
was laid up for a year once when
I tided to stop a foul tip on my col
lar bone.
v» nen i came i-u .\e» iun iu
1880 I walked the streets for weeks
trying to convince somebody that
baseball was a paving proposition.
Finally Mr. Day believed in me and
we started the game in old New
York. Just look at the game here
today. Yes. sir. and I started it."
LOST—Pair of perfectly good work
trousers. Finder can keep money
in the pockets but I need the pants
George Hupprich
Later
The finder did.
Ii all came about this way.
George was up town last night look
ing for a bet on the World series,
and he had the money with him to
back his judgment. In fact, he even
went so far as to show that he was
a man of means.
Unable to ;ret the kind of a bet
be wanted. George went home with
his roll, which he put away safely
for the night, and then went to the
dormitory to take a shower. When
he emerged from the bath, he was
minus a pair of pants, but a search
revealed them at some distance
from the place where they had been
hung—and the pockets were inside
out. There were only a few dollars
in the pockets, but they were all
gone. The thief evidently was look
ing for the roll, but he was disap
pointed.
