Gabby Street, One Os Diamond Great, Is Dead \ Joplin. Mo., Feb. 6. -(UP) Chat les E. (Gabby) Street, one <>*' baseball's all-time greats, died, at fl a.in. today in a hospital here, He had b< on |ll since late January. The ns y< ai <>ld former manager of the St.j Loitlk Cardinals and St. Lottis Browns liud been in critical eonditiiiii, for several days. He entered the hospital Jan. 24. suffering from exhaustion, and then a heart ailment developed. Street led the to Site' t|onal league 1931, winning the World series in nui. -.. . ; ; .lle was, stricken while returning U) his Joplin home from an "oldthiiers'T meeting in Pepria. 111. Doctors gave him several blood transfusions after he was admitted tq the hospital but his condition steadily grew worse,. His final days were spent in an oxygen tent. i Charles Evard Street was born at Huntsville, Ala.. S4pt, 30. 1882. Rei gained fame as battery mate of the late Walter Johnson, one of'basebail's all-time great right-hahders. The two were paired for four seasons with the Washington Senators from 1908 to 1911. It was during the l!)oR season that Street accepted a dare to perform his famous feat of catching a ball dropped from the Washington Jflonumetit. T 75 feet high. He caint up to the majors from Terre Haute, after a pro debut as a rawboned youngster with Hopkinsville. Ky.. in the Kitty ,league in 1902. Joining Cincinnati in 1904, |he found the big time catching i chores tqttgh in his early days, and i in one gafne. on June 7. 1903. he J was charged With four errors. But by 19(!9. he had become one of the game's .finest defensive catchers. He set an American leagpe record that year with 924 chances accepted.' 'I Suiters greatest success. however, came as a manager His regular catching career epded with Knoxyille. in 1925. and he became coach of the St. -Louis Cardinals |n 1929 under manager Bill MeI Kecbnie. j When the late Sam Breadon became dissatisfied with McKechnie, he nannd Street to manage the club in 1930. Inheriting a basically ' strong team. |ie was one of the few s men to win a pennant in his first ybot He repeated in 1931 with the famed “gas houjse gang.” sparked by l‘< pp< r Martin, the wild horse of tlte Osage. The Cards won that pennant with ridiculous ease with a team that most critics considered their , best.'| Other Cardinals who played for him included Chick I Haley. Jimi Bottomry. Frankie Charlie Gtibert, Jimmy Wilson. Jess Haines. Bill Hallahan and Paul Derringer. That was also the year that Street’s name last appeared in the National league boxscore. Strictly as a gag. with the pennant already secured, he inserted himself into ,the lineup as a pinch batter, lie had a lifetime average of .208. Dizzy Dean started his major league career under Street, coming up for, trial in the spring of 1931 and being sen? to Houston for further seasoning. Returning to stay lit i 1932, Dean was one of the to have words with the popular and ‘'■easygoing manager. The incident hurt Street’s standing with Breadon. who fired him during the 1932 season and made Frisch inanajger.
