KaIer, Ex-Ohio Stater
Is Given Big Boost

"Krum" Kaler, possibly the great
tst pitcher the Ohio state league has
ever turned out, being with the Lima
club in 1909 and now with the Clcve-
land Americans is given the following
boost by Tom Terrell in the Cleve-
land Leader.
There seems to be a general in
clnation to overlook one good card
on this Cleveland club.
George Kaler may have looked
like a deuce at certain stages of the
lest campaign. but take the word Of
Harry Davis and President Somers
for It. he looks like a filler FOR good
hand next year.
Doping out the situation for the
future folks seem TO forget that Kt-
Ter springs out as one of the bright
stars Of the club. Gregg, Knapp and
Blanding have been universally trout
ed as great prospects for 1912. Not
one OF the trio can lay claim to more
glowing prospects than that big Ohio
college alumnus.
"Kalers record last year was q
peculiar one. His work in the fal
of 1910 marked him as one Of the
best Of the Youngsters gathered IN
the crusade ON the minors. I'm The
south last spring he gave unmistal;a'
ble evidences of superior skin.
His performances at New Orleans
when he held the Pelicans hitlcss fol
five innings caused the late Addi,
Joss TO remark. That boy will some
day be one Of the best young pitchers

handling Of twirlers has given him "a

he remained one year The next
season found him in the O.-P.
League, and for the three years fol-
lowing that he was in the Virginia
League. at Roanoke and Lynchburg.
His work In Virginia was sensational
and he was purchased by the chi
cago White Sox, with whom he passed
the training period in the spring Of
1910. As the SoX were well equipped
with backstops Ray was released TO
Birmingham early I'm the season and
he did fine work in the Southern city,

Reds that season. Last year Ryan

Everyone seemed to feel that Ka-

win was finally credited to too much
work in the south. Kaler was actual

'By June % he had succeeded in
winning only one game. while the
