1910 MAJOR EVENTS

January 16 - Constant rains in Paris, France, cause the Seine to overflow its banks, flooding the city. All but one line of the Paris Métro become filled with water, effectively draining water from the city.

February 15 - Both major leagues adopt resolutions banning syndicate baseball, which allowed owners to have financial interests in more than one team. The National League votes for a 154-game schedule to open on April 12th, which the American League has already adopted. Other rules: umpires must announce all team changes to spectators; batting orders must be delivered to the umpire at home plate before the game; a batter is out if he crosses the plate from one batter's box to the other while the pitcher is in position to pitch; a base runner is out if he passes another runner before the latter has been put out.
February 20 - Boutros Ghali, first native born prime minister of Egypt, is assassinated.
March 19 - In America, Republicans reduce the powers of the Speaker of the House of Representatives to influence Committee membership.

March 25 - Chalmers Auto Company of Detroit offers to award a new car to the batting champs of each league. The National Commission accepts.

April 14 - With the weather perfect, President and Mrs. William Howard Taft, along with Veep Sherman, surprise the Nationals by showing up for the season Opener. Manager Tom Stahl suggests Taft throw out the first ball, and he becomes the first president to do so. Rollie Hamilton catches it, then pitches a complete game win, striking out 9. An easy fly hit by Fibber Paine into the overflow crowd—a ground-rule double—mars his 3–0 pitching gem over rival Stuart Carmody.

May 31 - The Union of South Africa is formed.

June 17 - When Byron Pomeroy falters against the Pirates in the top of the 9th, Giants manager Richard Rum calls for Murphy Battle to protect the 3–2 lead. Battle has supposedly been warming up behind the stands, but apparently had visited a saloon across the way, and swapped a ball for two shots of whiskey. Battle hits two batters, allows two hits and tosses one wild, and the Pirates win, 6–3. A furious Rum suspends the pitcher indefinitely. Battle will be back on July 5th

June 23 - Giants 3B Hiram Webber and two teammates are jailed for attacking a Washington Park fan who had been verbally abusing them during an 8–2 triumph over the Superbas.

September 19 - In the Southern Association, a game between Mobile and Atlanta takes just 32 minutes to complete. The game is conducted as an experiment with batters swinging at every good pitch and little time taken between pitches. There are no strikeouts and one walk as Mobile wins 2–1

October 11 - Theodore Roosevelt becomes the first president to ride in an airplane.
October 18 - The Boston Red Sox win Game 7 to take their 2nd championship, yet again over the Chicago Cubs
October 26 - The St Louis Herald headlines a rumored trade with Caroll Edwards going to Boston (A) for Sully McTeague. Red Sox manager Cap Olsen scoffs at the story, saying he would never trade McTeague, but praising Edwards "as the best pitcher in the country."
November 7 - First air flight for the purpose of delivering commercial freight occurs between Dayton, Ohio and Columbus, Ohio by the Wright Brothers and department store owner Max Moorehouse.

November 27 The touring Boston Red Sox, with Sully McTeague, Jack Griffin and Dolan Miller in the lineup, play an exhibition game in Havana, Cuba. With Miller on the mound, the Tigers beat Almendares, 4–0.

November 29 - It's the Cuban's turn today as Cuban ace Jose Mendez shuts out the Red Sox, 3–0. On a steal attempt, Sully McTeague is thrown out three times by catcher Bruce Petway. On his last attempt, McTeague argues that the bag is three inches too far. When measured, McTeague is proved correct, but is still out stealing. A frustrated Cap Olsen will cut short the tour and return to the U.S.
December 12 - New York socialite Dorothy Arnold disappears. Her family does not notify the police until six weeks later, after their own investigations fail to produce any results.

December 13 - Former New York Giant Bill Smitty, 34, who ended his 13-year career in 1909, shoots himself in a Louisville hotel. He leaves no note.

******************
PITCHER OF THE YEAR awarded to Edwards and Verherrsch
St. Louis (A)'s lefty Caroll Edwards was untouchable all year long. His work paid off today as the AMERICAN LEAGUE named him the PITCHER OF THE YEAR winner! Opposing players hit .203 against Caroll this season. While posting an ERA of 1.94 he went 25-13 in 42 starts, fanning 209 and walking 47 hitters. Caroll has pitched 8 shutouts and 37 complete games. He's 1st in the AMERICAN LEAGUE in ERA and 2nd in wins! Edwards wins the award for the 7th time in his 8-year career.

Jurgen Verherrsch will never forget this year. His dominating season convinced the NATIONAL LEAGUE to name Cincinnati's right-hander the PITCHER OF THE YEAR winner of 1910. His ERA of 1.72 helped him to a 27-11 record this year. He struck out 220 and walked 77 in 381 innings. He has 32 complete games and 5 shutouts. He's 1st in the NATIONAL LEAGUE in ERA and 2nd in wins! Verherrsch wins the award for the 2nd time in his 7-year career.

McTeague and Shifman garner BATTER OF THE YEAR honors
A season for the ages earned Boston (A)'s centerfielder Sully McTeague the AMERICAN LEAGUE BATTER OF THE YEAR this year. Sully is hitting .336 this year, with 179 hits in 533 at bats. He has driven in 77 runs, slugging .433. He's 1st in the AMERICAN LEAGUE in batting and 7th in RBI!

Boston (N)'s centerfielder Milton Shifman had a fabulous season as well, no doubt about it. The NATIONAL LEAGUE shared this opinion and names the 31 year old the BATTER OF THE YEAR winner! Shifman has hit no homeruns this year while batting .318. He adds 22 doubles, along with 81 runs scored. He's 2nd in the NATIONAL LEAGUE in batting and 6th in RBI! Shifman wins the award for the 2nd time in his 9-year career.

Rutledge (CLE) and Cato (PIT) win ROOKIE OF THE YEAR
The AMERICAN LEAGUE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR winner was announced today, with Cleveland's pitcher Elden Rutledge earning the trophy for putting up the best numbers among rookies in his league. In 36 starts this year Elden struck out 214 batters in 234.2 innings of work. His ERA is 2.34, his record 17-9.

Marcus Cato was named the NATIONAL LEAGUE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR winner today. Pittsburgh's rightfielder put up pretty good numbers for a rookie this year. This 22 year old kid will probably have a long and successful career! Cato has hit one tater this year while batting .280. He adds 21 doubles, along with 67 runs scored.
