BY PAT

This story might be called
Kicked Into Fame and For
tune" but 1t has to do with the
accidental discovery of three OF
the greatest second basemen the
baseball world has known, and
Is an attempt to tell how they
have risen to the heights of being
numbered among the best in the
game, from obscure positions In
life, which they might still be
adjoining but for their accidental
discovery.
The men are Larry Lajoie of
the Maps, Johnny Evers of the
Cubs and Larry Doyle of the New
York Giants. l think everyone
will agree that these three are
the real goods among the big
league second sackers. But they
didn't begin life as ball players.
, Johnny Evers worked in a col
lar factory in his home town,
Troy, N. Y, and he was paid 81
per week for his labors. Lajoie
drove cab at Providence, r. l.,
and Doyle was a breaker boy in
the Illinois coal mines.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-07-21

Phil Gier was also with Fall Riv-
er at the time, and Gier was one
real sensation. The Philadelphia
Nationals wanted Gier, and the
Fall River management threw in
Lajoie for good measure. Larry
stuck.
At first Larry was kept on first
base and then sent to second,
where he quickly developed into
one of the real wonders of the
game, and in a team composed of
mighty swatters was right up in
the first fight with the war club.
Gier is now playing in the bushes
some place, but Larry is still one
OF the sensations of the game. He
has lost neither his cunning in the
field nor his skill with the bat as
Is attested by his yearly batting
average. The Frenchman is
known as the most graceful man
IN baseball. He makes the most
difficult stops and makes them 50
sklLlfully that half the time the
rams don't realize or appreciate
Just how difficult the play was.

Tigers Lose Through
Maston' S Poor Pitching


Mr.. Maston, who has not shown
any ability as a pitcher thus far
In Tacoma lost the game to the
turks yesterday. He started out
by throwing nine straight balls
which put two men on bases and
completely demoralized the whole
team. Rockenfield lost Bennett
at first on an easy one and then
Weed broke up the game COM
pletely with hard drive through
the field.
After the team had been put up
in the air and the game was gone
Maston was yanked out but 1t was
too late. Seattle went right along
in the even course of victory,
Weed again showing Mike Lynch
that he made a god trade in get
ting him, by tapping out homer
in the fifth and driving Raymond
in ahead of him.
Joss, meanwhile, seemed a
puzzle to the Tacoma batters. Six
hits were all Tacoma garnered
and two of them were covered
with horse shoes. joss also loom
ed big in the batting list and like
Joe Seaton IL he fails to make
good as twirler he may get a
place in outfield for his batting
ability. He got three hits in the
contest yesterday and walked the
fourth time up. One swat was
good for two bases at that.
There was great crowd of Ia
dies out but they got little oc-
casion to cheer yesterday. Score:

NSiAoi AoStoi .
Instead of the salary increase the
youngster was slipped the boot.
This happened one morning
just before the noon hour shut
down, and Evers hiked out to the
team practice. A fellow named
Bacon was managing Troy then,
and he asked the youngster if he
wouldn't like to practice. Evers
got into the practice and his work
was so impressive that he was
signed on the spot.
Jack Hardy, who occasionally
breaks into the game for Wash
ington now when Street feels the
need of a rest, was catching for
Troy that season, and his work so
impressed the Chicago National
team that he was drafted. Evers
was sent along for good measure,
tagged to be returned if he
couldn't hit the big league gait.
The rest of it is history. Evers
sent along just for good measure,
developed into what many believe
to be the greatest second baseman
the game has known. No man in
baseball can think and act as
quick as the little second sacker
of the Cubs, and it was Johnny's
noodle which beat the New York
Giants out of pennant. Hardy
is now change catcher for the
Washington club in the American
league.
