Dots Miller passed 01 Thursday Arid Dotsduririhis big
-leue career had much to be proud of. The writer remem-
bers the day Miller broke into' the hig league. It wait back in
the year when the Pittsburg -team won the pennant. That
spring the Pirates had made a deal'with Boston for Ed Abat.
ticio then ranked as one of the leading second basemen of
the National league.' At the same time the Pirate scouts were
looking over a youngster who was setting the old P. and O.
league on fire. In the little town of McKeesport Pa.; Miller
was making himself the talk of the league. - - - '
t ' OVAbattlclo reported and played a number of games. Suddenly
'he cracked. Try as he might he just couldn't get going. It was com-
.mon for htm to boot two grounders a game and the bugs were wild.
One day In the first fire Innings AbatUclo booted every chance that
; .came bis way. Fred Clarke then manager of the Pirates was In
despair. The team had a great chance to win the pennant Added t
to this Barney Dreyfusa was opening his new million dollar baseball '
plant. Taking a' long chance Clarke called Miller from the bench
: and sent him in at second and f rom that day on Abatticlo was done
as a player. Miller set the bugs wild. He fielded them from every
- angle and put the added pep Into the team which it needed to win
-: tee pennant.' His chief stock tn trade was his ability to throw from
any angle and his speed in completing double plays. - .' "' ' '
The team won the flag and Babe Adams became one of
il . . -i ' I.' 1 k I m t f .
we ouxsianaing neroes as a rcsuu wnen ne piicnea iour 01 ine
seven games.; - Much "credit for Miller's success "was due to
Honus Wagner then playing shortstop. Miller's style in the
field and at bat resembled the great Dutchman. In fact the
bugs at. one time. called him "little Honus" Wagner con
tinually coached the rookie and encouraged htm. I he pair
was regarded as one of the best in the league on double plays.
Bobby Byrne was playing third and Bill Abstein at first.
Owen Wilson" Texan f 'Max Carey still with the - team and
Tommy Leach played the outfield. Adams another member
stilt in baseball; Nick Maddox and Vic Willis ' were the
pitchers. V . . ' .
':.-.V;;.-. :
Ty Cobb earned himself some fame In this series when he stole
s home while Willis a slow methodical chap held the ball. This run
u won the game. ... ; -.
