YOUTHFUL FAN
WRITES OF GYGLI

Asa Rountree, Jr., IA years of age, sends
the sporting editor the following cleverly
written and accurate appreciation of
Frank Gygli:
Zone of the most gentlemanly ball play
ers in the Southern league is Bill Frank
Gygli, formerly of the Birmingham
baseball club, and now playing with the
Memphis baseball team.
"Gygli made pretty good record with
Birmingham last year. During training
season Gygli hit pretty light, but he
thought that he would pick up by the
time that the season opened, but he
didn't. Then the fans got after the once
popular player and every time he came
to the plate they roasted him. Roasting
by home fans has hurt many ball play
ers career, and it hurt Gygli.
THE fans began to clamor for his
scalp. Then Wordsworth sent him to the
bench and big Mack was sent to play
first and he sent another player to right.
Then Messenger was bought and waivers
were asked on Gygli. Memphis accepted
and sent the required sum. Then Gygli
became the property of Memphis. He
then left Birmingham to take up the po-
sition that Scoop Carey had once filed
lie mas made very good record with
Memphis. True, his hitting has been
! light but he has fielded with the rest of
| them.
He can stop wild throws with ease,
and he sure can scoop EN- up. He is a
| pretty fast man. Last year 5000 he
led the league in stolen bases up to the
| last few weeks of the season, when his
| team mate, Henline. passed him. He was
| second, though. When l asked him why
| he didn't try to catch up with Henline
| he replied that he did not steal bases for
personal honor, but for the good of his
team, and that he did not steal bases
when it was unnecessary.
"Gygli Is a tall man, being over six
| feet, and he is a heavy set man, but not
| in Cleveland in the winter. where he is
| in business with a plumbing establish
ment He is right handed. He told me
| that he did not play ball only to make
:, living, but for the fun of 1t. In 1908
| he played with the Newark team in the
Ohio State league, where he attracted
attention. In 1909 he played with Bir-
| mingham.
He is now playing with Memphis and
is reserved for next year. He is .240
| hitter and high class fielder. He is a
thorough gentleman in every way. Mr..
| Gygli is a graduate of an Ohio college.
Mr. Gygli will reach the big leagues in a
| few years and when he reaches there he
will stay for good while barring acct
dent Gygli plays everything safe and
he does nothing to show Off"

this afternoon promises to be an interest
ing one.
Many enthusiastic speeches were made
by members of the alumni. Hugh A.
Locke, president of the Alumni associa-

boys with his ringing utterances. w. H.
Spencer, with his wit and spicy declara-
lions, cheered the audience into up
