I FORMER IDOLS OF FANS, WHOSE BIG LEAGUE CAREERS HAVE COME TO AN END I ''' MKKi ' r jJ From left to right, Mordecai Brown, who wasfor years the idol of I the Chicago fans. He was at one time the great Mathewson's most formidable opponent, and did much toward aiding the Cubs to their many PS ' championships. g&i "Wild Bill" Donovan, who still enjoys great popularity with the 3 Detroit fans, who will never forget the part he played in bringing three g pennant In a row to Detroit. Although invincible in his own league, g he seemed to lose his effectiveness in world's series games. In the first series with the Cubs however, he held them to a twelve-inning tie. "Wild P Bill" will be with Providence next season. Old Cy Young, the grandfather of them all. He has bucked against 3 Old Father Time longer than any other pitcher. He held the mound in the big leagues for 22 years and was one of the greatest great-est tossers in his - - - day. He has made a fortune in baseball and can well afford t rest on 1 his laurels. 1 Sfi "Kickapoo" Summers, who for years shared with Donovan the adu- ftt 'ation ot the American League fans. But like the latter, it seemed im- possible tor him to win a victory in a world's series contest He has ML youth in his favor however, and should prove effective for several vears in the minor leagues. Jfe The figure in the lower picture is "Gabby" Street, who with Billv fcsV01 bu llivan is one of the only two persons who have been able to catch a ball dropped from the Washington monument, a very daring and diffi- ; cult feat. "Gabby" was at one time rated as the best catcher in the ' Ik American league. J Jw SJ'i
