Pitchers like Tim Ke«fe occur
about once In a decade. He was
the Mathewson or Walter John
son of his day. He pitched tho
New York team into a league and
world's championship. Old-tim

the greatest pitcherg of today
possess.
When he retired from the
game for which he did so muoh,
Tim Keefe sought the classic
shades of Cambridge, Mass., the
city of his birth, and he sought
relief from tho excitement of the
diamond in the prosaio business
of real estate. In which he has
succeeded.

Perhaps YOU have wondered, Mr. Fan, where Harry Stovey,
king of base-runners, is today. Maybe you remember the heroic
deeds of Bill Lange, and sometimes ask yourself where the great
Chicago slugger went when ho retired in his prime.

pitcher, out-guessing his op

Brush will not attempt to man

There 1b a touch of sadness in
Tim Keefe's answer to the ques
tion, "Is baseball faster today
than in your time?"
"I have seen so few games in
recent years that I am unable to
make a fair comparison," he
says.
In Keefe's opinion, the great
eat ball player that, ever lived
was Ed Williamson, the Chicago
infielder of the '80s. This will
doubtless call for criticism, but
many an old-timer will admit
that K«*fe had reasons to pick
the infield wonder.
McGrow will continue as man
ager.

Brush Is estimated at $3,000,000
