Andrews had just got through telling
schwartz about the ugly look Of the
stuff Kid Elberfeld pulled in that final
clash with the Crackers, after the
Kid pretty nearly went nutty think

Now. Bits answer to Andrews was

Vols reserve list and he had been
given to understand by President Hir-
sig. of the Vols. that he would be
needed in 1914 around Nashville TO

Something Is Doing.

worlds series as he was in the last,
when he was a shining light of daz-
ling brilliancy.
In 1911 Red" went through the
series between the Giants and Ath-

in consequence, he received almost
rs many knocks" that fall as did
Snodgrass last year for making his
world famous muf.
But the fiery-topped Irisnman came
right back with all Of his Irish up.
and laced the ball far better and
more timely against the Red Sox than
those who were batting stars the
previous year
Reds" fielding was fully up to his
own high standard and his many
brilliant catches are matters OF
worlds series history. one catch he
made when he turned back somer-
sault over the low fence back of left
field. on the Boston grounds, was
sensation Of the series.
Has Improved in Fielding.
Now. Red" this year has shown
Improvement over his fielding Of past
wears. His work in right field has
been remarkable his one-hand
catches having been little short OF
