FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
» September 30, 1901: The visiting New York Giants drop a pair to the Cards, as McGraw uses position players on the mound. Heinie Smith, primarily a second baseman, makes his only career start in game one and completes a 12-4 loss to the Redbirds. He bats 7th and hits a HR. Jim "Sheriff" Jones also makes his only career start in the second match and loses 6-5 in a game called in the 6th inning because of darkness. Jones bats 2nd in game 1 and plays RF, and bats leadoff in game two going 0-for-4 in each.

» June 2, 1902: The Giants fire manager Horace Fogel and replace him 2B Heinie Smith. The change lasts six weeks before Smith goes back to the infield and John McGraw takes over.

» March 7, 1903: In the first trade under the peace treaty, the Giants send their 1902 part-time manager Heinie Smith to Detroit for 2B Kid Gleason, who is immediately moved to the Phils where he will end a 20-year playing career.
