"RUBE" WADDELL IS
DEAD; GREAT TWIRLER
Noted For His Many Eccentricities;
Pitched in Harrisburg Ten
Years Ago
San Antonio, Texas, April 2.
George Edward Waddell, the famous
"Rube," as he was known wherever
baseball is played, died at a sanato
rium here late yesterday, a victim of
tuberculosis, after a long fight for life.
Waddell, once one of the greatest of
base! .11 pitchers, came to West Texas
four months ago, already weakened
by pulmonary trouble, but buoyant
and hopeful that a few months would
see him restored to health and "back
in the game."
John Waddell, "Rube's" father, and
his mother arrived from Boerne two
hours after their son died. A sister,
who lives here, is the only other sur
viving relative. Burial will be made
here to-morrow.
George Edward Waddell, one of the
greatest of pitchers, was noted nearly
as much for his eccentricities as for
his ability as a ball player. In the
seventeen years lie spent In profes
sional baseball he held positions with
twelve teams, and, Including "return
engagements," had fourteen jobs. His
longest term of service was with the
Philadelphia Athletics, where, under
the watchful eye of Connie Mack, he
pitched winning ball for a half-dozen
seasons.
j Waddell shared with Robert Glade
I the strike-out record of the American
(League. On July 29, 1908, while
| pitching for the St. Louis Americans,
j to whom lie had just been released
i by Manager Mack, he fanned sixteen
of the Athletics, his former team
mates.
Waddell was born in Butler, Pa.,
| October 13, 1876. When 20 years of
age, or in 1890, he pitched his first
professional ball with the Oil City
I (Pa.) team, and the next year, after
a brief career with the Volant College
(Pa.) nine, he entered "big league"
baseball as a member of the Louisville
National League team. The pace in
such fast company was a bit too fast
for him, however, and after a few j
weeks' engagement with Detroit he re- i
turned to his native State and joined
the Homstead team.
In 1899 a scout for the Columbus
team recommended him and he was j
drafted by that organization. The next
year he was attached to the Louisville
club, but when the Louisville players
were transferred to Pittsburgh he
went along. The American League
war, signal for a general period of
players' "jumping," gave Waddell the
opportunity for another change, and
he became a member of the Mllwau- j
kee club in 1900.
Waddell joined the Chicago Na
tionals in 1901 and pitched a few
great games for the team under Jack
Doyle. In 1902 he jumped the Chi
cago club to the Los Angeles "Out
laws," but returned again to organized
ball, joining the Athletics. 7rom 1902
to 1908 he was a star of Mack's team,
and then, showing Indications of a re
turn to his old habits, Waddell was
sold to the St. Louis Americans. A
flash of his famous skill helped the
Browns in the great battle they made
for the American League pennant in
1908, but at the end of the next sea
son he was released to Newark.
The Minneapolis club bought Wad
dell in 1910, and he was two years
with that club. Illness began to get
the better of him, and last Spring he
was added to the roster of the Min
neapolis Northern League club.
"Rube" Waddell pitched for the
Athletics against Harrisburg In 1904.
Later he pitched in an exhibition game
at Steelton. One of Waddell's hob
bles was to stray away from the Ath
letics or any other team with whom
he' had signed and play with some
semi-professional club or go hunting
and fishing.
One time Waddell come to High
sirtre, and later turned up in Harris
burg. He practiced with the Harris
burg players. One of the best tricks
Waddell ever pulled off when playing
against lower class teams was l.is
ninth inning stunt.
Waddell would wait until two men
were out, when he would call every
man off the field except the catcher.
He would then give the men at the
bat three balls, and follow it up with
three strikes. II was a big hit with the
?pectuton»
ht&khxbburg telegrxph
] work against league teams and at the
same time permit those at home to
get into form.
As a final arrangement, it is pro
posed to have the two teams play each
other again before the regular season
opens, and the players showing the
best form will then be picked for the
regular team. Manager Cockill will
be here later in the week. Local
fans do not like the idea of the team
being away during the entire prelimi
nary season, and the plan suggested by
Manager Cockill would mean games at
home for two weeks.
