Joe Birmingham is the youngest
manager in the major leagues, being
but twenty-seven years of age. He
first gave evidence of his ability as
diamond leader last year, when Harry
Davis was let out after disastrous
experience as pilot of the Cleveland
team. Davis, supposed to be keen
baseball general, having been the
right-hand man Of Connie Mack on the
Athletics for a number of years, was
placed In charge of the Clevelands at
the beginning of the campaign in 1912,
although the Cleveland fans wanted
George Stovall, who had made good in
the latter part of the season of 1911,

start and matters kept going from bad
to worse Finally in the closing days
OF August Davis threw UP the job of
managing the team and Joe Birming-
ham was called into the breach. I'm

der Birmingham the club took big
brace and won 26 out Of the last 80
games it played. So we'll did Bir-
mingham fill the bill that he was CIV
en- the managerial position again this
season. He justified the high hopes
entertained for him as manager by
producing an organization that has
been a winner from the beginning OF
the season, and given every promise
for continuing so.
Joe Birmingham is a New York
state boy, hailing from Elmira. He
first made his mark as a diamond star
as a member of the Gloversville-Amr
sterdam-J Youngstown team In the New
York State league. He was signed by
the Cleveland team and made good
from the start in fast company. Joe
is a fine batsman, a fast fielder and
one of the best throwing outfielders in
the game.

LAJOIE HITS HARDEST
ElberfeId's Experience With Can
non Ball Drive.
Former Major Player Relates Interest
ing Tale of Accidental Catch of
Line Drive From Big French
mans BIudgeon.

Kid Elberfeld, late of the New York
and Washington Americans. now man
aging Chattanooga, In the Southern
league, is the greatest fan in the
country, according to the majority of
ball players in the big circuit. He
eats, sleeps and dreams baseball all
the time, off the field and on it. He
has also had very long career on the
diamond, and for that reason knows
whereof he speaks.
II happened at Cleveland hotel
during one Of the series of games
Washington was playing In that city.
The talk had turned to the hardest
hits ever made. and every one was
having his say. the Kid alone except
ed. Finally, when the other players
had noticed that he was strangely
quiet IN conversation on a theme of
which he was as well qualified to
speak as any present, they all turned
to him with one accord and demand
ed his opinion. He pondered a second
before beginning. then said, slowly:
Well, boys. I have seen ball play
ers come and go, many OF them
mighty hitters, but when it comes to
right down picking the hardest hitter
Of them all, you've got to hand 1t to

ever saw hit, and may the saints
keep me from ever becoming mixed
up with another such drive as he
slammed at me several years ago on
the hilltop in New York.
1T happened in about the seventh
inning of holly contested game.
Larry had been hitting the ball on the
pick all through the game, as he
usually does when in New York, and
/, from my position at third base, was
thankful that none of his drives had
come anywhere near my territory.
In this inning the king was up
first. and recall that | was playing
back rather deep at the time. The
