the greatest basketball player ever
to come out of Seattle.
In his first two starts against
the Albemi Athletics, just the
best team in Canada last year,
Rabbit plunked in 39 and '62

The goading and needling com

"If a player runs 90 yards to a

gloomed. "If he tried a little hard

Dohie's teams became convinced;
that if they could take him day;
after drty, they could take anybody
on Saturday. And they just about
could. He reeled off 11 straight

Honus Wagner
Dies at Age 81
PITTSBURGH (UP) John
Peter (Honus) Wagner, whose iron
man exploits with the Pittsburgh
Pirates made him baseball's
"greatest shortstop of all time,"
died early today at his home in
nearby Carnegie at the age of S.
The famed "Flying Dutchman"
died In his sleep at 12:56 a.m. at
his bedside were his wife Bessie,
his daughter-in-law, brother-in-Hy-'
and other intimates of the family.
Wagner, who had been ill in re
cent years, made his last public
appearance April 30 when he at
tended the unveiling of an 18-foot,
.0-ton bronze statue erected in tjis
honor just beyond the left field
wall at Forbes Field. He had been
bedridden since last September
when he injured his hip in a fall
at his home.
The Hall of Fame hero with the
peculiar bowlegged stance was on
of baseball's legendary figures. Me
led the National League in batting
eight times and was a .300-plus
hitter for 17 straight seasons. He
set records which are still intact
and at which players have bejn
aiming in vain for nearly half a
"century.
Honus spent 18 full seasons with
the Pirates after coming here
from Louisville in 1900. He starred
in 100 or more games for both
Louisville and Pittsburgh for 13
years.
Although one of baseball's great
est players and top drawing cards,
he never got more than $10,000 a
year for his services.
During his spectacular careei
Wagner stole 720 bases, paced the
National League in extra base hits
seven years, led in triples five
years and was first in doubles eight
seasons. He played in 2,785 games,
posted a .329 Jifetime batting aver
age, made 4,320 putouts and 5,664
assists. He had only 612 errors for
a .913 fielding average during his
21-ycar major league career.

Owners Talk
Trade, But
None Made
CHICAGO (UP There was
more "spieling" than "dealing" to
day at the major league meetings
where club owners talked for
hours about big trades but
brought forth absolutely nothing in
the way of even a minor transac
tion. The Chicago White Sox, Cleve
land Indians and Baltimore Orioles
still had a triangle deal on the firr
ind Manager Marty Marion of
Chicago said "It looks pretty hot."
Marion spent Monday afternoon
'a Iking with Manager At Lopez of
Cleveland and said I know he
wants what we're offering and we'
like what he has for us."
Marion then went out in the com
pany of John Rigney, the White
Sox vice president, in the hopes
that General -Manager Paul Rich
ards of Baltimore could be talked
into completing the deal.
Specalution On Deal
The speculation on the deal was
that the While Sox would come
out with pitcher Ray Moore from
Baltimore and catcher Hal Nara
gon from Cleveland. Cleveland has
ocen casting sheep's eyes at Chi
cago first sacker Walt Dropo.
Dropo is a power hitter and might
be the answer to replacing Vic
Wertz, who is said to be retiring
even though he has recovered from
his polio attack. j
The Yankees put the quietus on
a deluxe 15-man deal with Wash-'
ington in which they were sup
posed to have gotten eight Sena
tor players, mostly veterans, for
seven Yankee kids, ail second
stringers.
However, President Calvin Grif
fith of the Senators said ho hoped
a deal could be made.
Think Deal Possible I
"In fact, I'm talking with our!
manager Charley Dressen about
it right now," said Griffith. "I
think we can make a deal with
Hie Yankees."
Dressen said he'd be willing to
give up lefty pitcher, Alickey Me
Dcrmott, whom the Yankees ami
Known to want, in favor of two
Yankee players who could 'be used
regularly in the patch-work Wash
ington lineup.
