The 1916 Sporting News M101-4 and M-101-5 sets were released only a few years after the famed tobacco card sets produced by the American Tobacco Company.
One of the greatest of modern defensive outfielders, "Johnny" Cooney is also one of the most durable. Age and years of activity have not seemed to dull either his batting eye or his fielding ability. Last year, he played in 108 games of the Braves, and batted a powerful .318, driving in 21 runs and scoring 40 himself. As an outfielder, he made only 2 errors, with a percentage of .993. Starting as a pitcher, Cooney has been in baseball since 1921. With the exception of three seasons with Brooklyn, he has spent all his major league time with Boston.
Tommy spent 5 seasons in minor leagues as property of New York Yankees, but his 7 seasons in majors have been with Boston Braves. His .325 average last season was third highest in National League, and his good work in field helped Braves to their first pennant since 1914. Best year was 1945, when he batted .352, hit 47 doubles, 6 triples, 28 homers and batted in 117 runs.
