GLADE, Frederick. (Dubuque, IA, Jan. 25, 1876 - Grand Island, NB, November 21, 1934) From 1902 through 1908, Glade played for the Chicago Orphans (1902), St. Louis Browns (1904-1907) and New York Highlanders (1908). He batted and threw right-handed. He debuted on May 27, 1902 and played his final game on June 21, 1908.
In 1902 Glade appeared in one game for the Chicago National League team. He jumped to the American League in 1904 and gave four years of service to the St. Louis Browns. In his rookie season, he went 18-15 with a 2.27 ERA. On June 19, 1904 he set a major league game-record, since then broken, with 15 strikeouts in a 1–0 victory over the New York Highlanders. Glade led the league with 25 losses in 1905, winning only six games with a solid 2.81 ERA. He rebounded with two winning seasons in 1906 (15-14, 2.36) and 1907 (13-9, 2.67). He was traded to the Highlanders before 1908, his last major league season. He played his last game on June 21, 1908.
In a six-season career, Glade posted a 52-68 record with a 2.62 ERA in 1072-2/3 innings pitched, including 14 shutouts and 107 complete games. He recorded a 1.96 strikeout-to-walk ratio (464-to-237).
