Cleveland The fans can hardly be
lieVe that it was 50 long ago. The oc-
CaSion was a memorable one for the
Cleveland club owners and fans. 1t
was known as Lajoie day, and nearly
10000 fans turned out to welcome the
hero Of their team. 1t was a notable
occasion. for it was the batting and
fielding of Larry that defeated Boston
by the score Of to s. When Lajoic
played his first game the Maps were
last in the race, with II wins ana "a de-
featS. At tho close of the season they
stood 5th. with 90 victories and 81 de-
feats. This was travelling at a clip hard
to heat. and had Lajoie been allowed
to play earlier III the season the Cleve-
lands would have given the leaders
tussle for the honors. That was the
year that Frank Bonner was captain of
the team, and with the acquisition of
La ioic he was dropped. Bonner was
one of the most costly experiments the
owners ever had to endure. OF the
nine players who worked in that game
for Cleveland there are only three with
the Maps now-La joie. Bradley and
Flick. Moore pitched the game. while
Wood did the catching. Pickering is
now with st. Louis. while Mccarthy is
with the Brooklyn Nationals; Hickman
is with Washington, while Gochnaur is
on the Pacific coast. This shows that
time flies fast, especially in baseball.
