Hit Parade: DeMontreville Gets Cycle
Saturday, October 8th, 1904: "To hit for the cycle" is one of the rarest of feats in a baseball game. This occurs when a player hits a single, double, triple and home run in the same game, getting every type of hit possible. Lee DeMontreville grabbed a piece of baseball history today when he hit for the cycle. DeMontreville went 4 for 5 with 3 runs batted in and 3 runs scored against St. Louis, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 9-0 win at Robison Field.

"I felt comfortable at the plate in a way I haven't felt all season," DeMontreville said after the game. "It was like they were throwing beach balls at me. The ball seemed that big to me. And it just floated in."

Lee DeMontreville singled in the 1st, hit a two-run double in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Jack Chesbro in the 5th, tripled in the 7th and flied out in the 9th.

Thus far this season in 120 games DeMontreville is batting .292 with 1 home run, 67 RBIs and 68 runs scored. He has 138 hits in 472 at-bats.

Philadelphia Cooley Gets the Cycle
Monday, August 14th, 1905: Philadelphia left fielder Duff Cooley had a stellar day today at Exposition Park. His 4-hit day included a cycle and 6 RBI and was instrumental in the Phillies 15-6 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Duff Cooley struck out in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, hit a two-run triple in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Jack Bracken in the 6th, flied out in the 8th and hit a two-run double in the 9th.

Thus far this year Cooley has hit .294 with 2 home runs and 64 RBIs.

Hits Blitz for Reds Foster
Wednesday, August 23rd, 1905: Cincinnati's Pop Foster had a great game in the 22-7 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. The Reds left fielder went 4-for-5, including hitting for the cycle, but his club went down to defeat anyway.
"Everything they threw him, he was swatting around the field," said the Cincinnati skipper. "It really was a spectacular performance for Pop. It's a shame we couldn't win the game, too."

Pop Foster doubled in the 1st, grounded out in the 2nd, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI triple in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off Doc White in the 8th.

This season Foster has hit 11 home runs and posted a .405 batting average.

Cy Seymour Wins 1905 AL Batting Title
Monday, October 9th, 1905: The league batting title is awarded each year to the one player that is able to separate himself, even if only by a single hit, from the rest of the hitters in the league. This year, the player to do that was Washington's center fielder Cy Seymour. He hit American League pitching at a .373 pace over 154 games to take home the 1905 edition of the award.

NABL News: Draft Pool Revealed
Monday, October 2nd, 1905: For the entrants in this year's rookie draft, released today by the league, the possibilities are endless. Some will immediately seize their opportunity to play in the bigs with a venom, doggedly working their way up through the system to arrive on the pro circuit in three to five years, if they are lucky. Others will struggle, have their hopes dashed, reborn and dashed again, all the while not fully giving up on the dream. Still others will take each day as it comes, while not losing sight of the end-game. They will figure it out, quietly work their way into the professional ranks and have solid, if not spectacular careers in North American BaseBall League. At any rate, teams now can scout the draft pool for the next 30 days.

The top players available (in no particular order) seem to be:
1. Orval Overall, 24 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
2. Art Fromme, 22 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
3. Glenn Liebhardt, 22 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
4. Vive Lindaman, 27 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
5. Ed Willett, 21 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
6. Fred Beebe, 25 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
7. Babe Adams, 23 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
8. Eddie Collins, 18 year-old shortstop out of high-school.
9. Tom Hughes, 21 year-old starting pitcher out of college.
10. Johnny Bates, 23 year-old center fielder out of college.

NABL News: Playoffs begin
Monday, October 9th, 1905: To win the North American BaseBall League title is the zenith of any baseball career. Players on postseason qualifiers will get the chance of a lifetime beginning today with the North American Series, where both heroes and goats will arise, but only one team will emerge as the North American Series champion. The playoffs are a time for managers to map out pitching and batting match-ups and on-the-field strategy. Rivalries soar to new heights and destiny's fickle finger holds the fate of the teams and players. The North American Series begin today. The teams will tangle in elimination series to determine who will move on to the next round in the quest for the Holy Grail of NABL baseball. The playoffs get underway with these games: New York Highlanders vs Brooklyn Superbas. This will be the first cross town championship series in the history of the North American BaseBall League.

Superbas Top Highlanders in North American Series
Tuesday, October 17th, 1905: The Superbas earned their 3rd North American Series title and now get to spend all winter basking in glory, while the beaten Highlanders will have plenty of time to wonder what went wrong.

Brooklyn is the North American BaseBall League Champions for 1905. They did it with a 4-0 triumph to capture the series 4-2.

"Both clubs are talented. We just made fewer mistakes than they did," the winning manager said to the press corps at the postgame press conference. "We made the crucial plays and got the timely hits."

The New York skipper agreed with that assessment and added, "We were a little weak on fundamentals at crucial times. I have a sneaky suspicion we will be working on fundamentals a lot next spring."

On the way to the North American Series championship, the Superbas ended up in first place in the National League and compiled a 93-61 record during the regular season. MVP was Frank Foutz (.440, HR, 11 RBIs.)

1905 NL Best Newcomer Named
Monday, October 30th, 1905: Lefty Leifield's age didn't show very often in his first year. He performed more like a veteran on the hill for the Philadelphia Phillies and today he walked away with the 1905 National League Newcomer of the Year Award.

The 22-year-old starter registered a 16-19 record this season in 39 starts. Over 309.1 innings he gave up 363 hits, struck out 92 and issued 92 walks as he held the opposition to a .288 batting average and fashioned a 3.14 ERA.

Chase Is AL's Premier Rookie
Monday, October 30th, 1905: It was a lot of headlines and highlights for St. Louis first baseman Hal Chase in his first season in the American League. It was annonced today that the 22-year-old was voted the top newcomer and had earned the Newcomer of the Year Award.

Hal Chase collected 228 hits, 6 home runs, 106 RBIs, 13 walks and 122 runs scored. He hit .323 and had a .332 on-base percentage.

Americans Pilot Nichols Picked as AL's Best
Tuesday, October 31st, 1905: The Boston Americans had an outstanding season, much of it due to their astute and gifted skipper. For his managerial excellence, Tricky Nichols reaped the reward of being voted American League Manager of the Year.

"A manager is only as good as the players he's managing," Nichols told reporters. "If I didn't have the talent to work with, making all the right moves wouldn't have helped a bit."

Under Nichols the Americans finished second in the American League with a record of 84-70.

National League Chooses Best Manager
Tuesday, October 31st, 1905: Al Bauer celebrated a successful season with the Brooklyn Superbas by hosting team officials and select media at a Brooklyn area first-class eatery. But, when he first came to town, the 1905 National League Manager of the Year would've been lucky to be invited out for beers with the ground-crew.

"Very few people believed in our ballclub, when I got here. It just goes to show you that a bunch of talented ballplayers playing together can make any old manager a genius," a modest Bauer joked, not fully recognizing his own stature in the baseball community.

However, baseball journalists duly noted his managerial skill as he skippered the Superbas to a 93-61 record this year and a first place finish in the National League.

Howell Picked Best NL Pitcher
Wednesday, November 1st, 1905: The Outstanding Pitcher Award for 1905 has been presented and the National League winner is Harry Howell of Boston.

"It's always nice to receive an award like this," said Howell. "I just hope I can improve on my performance next year and be in the running again," the Beaneaters star told reporters.

Howell excelled with an impressive 26-11 record in 40 starts. In 346 innings he yielded 342 hits and 78 walks, while striking out 135 and compiling a fine 2.89 ERA.

New York's Wicker Nets AL Outstanding Pitcher Award
Wednesday, November 1st, 1905: The New York Highlanders have a rising superstar or maybe even a budding Hall-of-Famer in the making.
It's Bob Wicker, this year's American League Outstanding Pitcher Award selection. This blossoming hurler wowed fans, peers and sportswriters with a fabulous performance.

Wicker compiled a 25-11 record in 39 starts, tallied 117 strikeouts in 313.2 innings and recorded a 2.84 ERA. Other clubs managed only a .255 batting average against him.

1905 Premier Batter Selected By NL
Thursday, November 2nd, 1905: Brooklyn's Honus Wagner put the wraps on a fine campaign today by winning the 1905 National League Outstanding Hitter Award.

The 31-year-old veteran scorched the opposition with a .351 average, picking up 223 hits, 39 doubles, 23 triples, 6 home runs and 120 RBIs, while scoring 136 runs.

1905 Top Batter Honored By AL
Thursday, November 2nd, 1905: What a way to finish off the year -- being honored with the 1905 Outstanding Hitter Award in the American League. It had already been a very special season for Washington's Cy Seymour, but today's announcement really put the icing on his cake.

All season long Cy Seymour gave opposing pitchers fits by hitting .373 as he collected 247 hits, 39 doubles, 24 triples, 9 home runs and 154 RBIs.

Lifetime Hearne is batting .294 and has totaled 1 home run.

In his career Bresnahan is batting .302 with a total of 32 home runs.

News
Detroit Deals McGraw to Washington for Gillen
Friday, February 16th, 1906: You can't always get what you want, but sometimes you find a deal anyway. The Baseball News Network is reporting that Detroit and Washington have made a swap with 32-year-old third baseman John McGraw and 22-year-old left fielder Tommy Madden being shipped to the Senators and in return the Tigers would get 38-year-old shortstop Sam Gillen.

The Washington general manager said the two sides were close to a blockbuster trade before agreeing upon a smaller scale transaction. "This is just a bit of housekeeping compared to what we wanted to do," he said. "I won't name names, but the potential deal we were close to making would have certainly grabbed some headlines." A source inside the Detroit organization said the two sides might not be done dealing, and another transaction could be in the works.

In his career McGraw has hit .326 with 2118 hits, 289 doubles, 89 triples and 22 home runs. His totals also include 898 RBIs and 1414 runs scored.

Lifetime in 1000 games Gillen is batting .274 with 7 home runs and 449 RBIs.

Glade Spins No-Hitter
Wednesday, August 29th, 1906: "This is one of the best moments of my life," Fred Glade said. "You never think that's going to happen -- a no-hitter."

He made those comments after he held the Senators hitless in the Detroit 5-0 victory at American League Park II.

"We simply couldn't get any wood on the ball," said the Washington manager, when asked about his epic performance. "Glade was brilliant out there. He certainly had our number."

Glade was more humble about his historic feat and told BNN reporters that he was "just happy to get the win for the club."

He faced only 30 batters in the no-hit gem, struck out 3 and walked 0.

This year Glade has 8 wins and 18 losses and a 3.74 ERA.
