Manager Brs Lord Will Hold His Phenom for Boston Braves
Youngster is Natural Hitter-Became
Star by Chance
by REUBEN A. LEWIS

usual During the exhibition games, |
wanted to watch every man under IRE.
As 1 had only three outfielders including
myself, l had to get substitute IN the
outfield. The boys told me that he had
proved a good hitter with Pensacola in
the outfield. so / sent him out there
1.-THE big fellow proved wonderful
surprise He started walloping them to
all corners and bagging everything that
came his way. So l just decided to keep
him there for it was impossible to get
anything from the big leagues with the
Federals so active in their search for
proper material.
when Calhoun was injured, l shifted
him to first base and there he starred.
In fine, | think he will prove star in
the majors some day. He is just a
youngster yet, for he will be "a on his
next birthday. He is a willing student
and that is a matter of great satisfac-
ton. There is no doubt that he is a nat
ural hitter. If he has weakness, l
don't think the pitchers have found 1t. 1t
was supposed that he couldn't hit ball
on the outside, but he has driven out
many long hits on outside balls. He hits
to all three fields"
The big right fielder was born on De-
u.
opened his professional career with the
Lansing club in the South Michigan
league in 1910 as a pitcher. After a
brief stay of one month, he went to
Travers City, where he played until July
&C. 1912, when he was purchased by the
Giants for $500. As a pitcher. he was
the wonder of the league. When he was
purchased by Scout Wilbert Robertson.
Kirby led the twirlers with 10 victories
and two losses.
Unusual as it is for moundsman to be
heavy hitter, Kirby has an average of
over 800 for five years. This year, he
has a swatting mark Of 1888. III 1913, with
Pensacola in the Cotton States league
ana Charleston, in the South Atlantic. he
slugged 800; 1912 was the only season he
failed to hit over the three century mark
for he registered only .292. In 1911 he
hit 1856 and .S4 the preceding year-his
first in professional ranks.
Kirby has an ideal build for a star hit
ter. He ranges just a margin of an inch
unoer six feet. weighs 1870 and is Just %
years old. He possessed might whip
and has record of 10 2-5 seconds for a.
100-yard dash. The blond gardener throws
right-handed and seems to show no ef-
fects of the injury suffered by his throw
ing arm last year
Unessfhe slackens his gait in the field
and at the bat the Michigan lad will
bring a record price for Southern
Lacquer While few concede he is as
promising as Big Dave Robertson, it may
be safely predicted that he will be an
object of active bidding by big league
clubs. In all likelihood, the Boston Ma
tionals will have him in the outfield in
1915.

OGER TWIRLS WELL
LIN PINCHES AND GETS
: GULLS EVEN BREAK

TAD Bris Lord been anxious to
yield his young star-LaRue Kirby
/ i to the majors the Mobile treasury
would have taken an abrupt swelling
Jack McCarty, scout for the Chicago
Cubs, was directed by the Chicago moguls
to give the blond outfielder the "once-
over" and report at headquarters. As
directed, he journeyed to Montgomery
last week and was pleasantly astounded
by the deft swatting antics of his pros
pect.
.Straightway the "Ivory-hunter" hied
to the sanctium of Manager Bris Lord
and engaged in an entertaining conversa-
ton. McCarty conveyed the knowledge
to Lord that he was strong for Kirby
and wanted him to set his price on him.
With his usual reserve. Lord limited that
the season was young and told McCarty
that he did not wish to sell Kirby now.
After the disappointing interview, Nc
Carly sought his prospect. Having
known him in the majors the Cub scout
to the Cubs. I'D give $4,000 for YOU"
said the Chicago scout to the youngster.
But instead of becoming inflated with
pride, Kirby replied that he did not know
what Lord wanted to do with him, but
that he wanted to please his boss.
The big outfielder admitted that Nc
Carly was willing to pay $4,000 for his
release and delivery at the close of the
Southern league season yesterday after
noon. However, he declared that he
wanted to stay in the Southern through
out the year, for he realized he lacked
the proper experience to make him a
regular in big league ranks. This is the
first year that he has ever played regu-
larly in the outfield.
Lord will not sell Kirby to any club
until the Boston Nationals have exercised
a last bid "Stalling practically gave me
everything l have said Manager Lord,
last night and I am surely going to
show him every consideration. Kirby is
certainly wonderful youngster. The big
leagues crave right-handed hitters for
their clubs, and as Kirby bats right
handed, he should incite active bidding.
He is the outright property of the Mo-
bile club, for the Giants made us a pres
ent of him at the beginning of the year.
The only drawback the youngster has
at present is lack of experience. He is
a good fielder, with wonderful arm.
Surely one would want no evidence that
he is a swell hitter. He is the leading
extra base hitter of the league

yerted into an outfielder was not I'M

Pitches Well in Pinch

Gudger won his spurs before the Barons
scored. In the first round Carroll reached
second, but the redoubtable Knisely was
easy for the youngster. In the second
Covington and Mcbride occupied third and
second respectively before a Baron had
gone out With Charley Schmidt en-.
cheering the twirlng, Gudger forced Ell
lam to hoist a short fly to right. Dilger
famed and Robertson rolled out, O'Dell to
Calhoun.
In the third Gudger proved invincble
but fa!sered in the fourth. Knisely drew
his spikes forced Schmidts peg out of
Dobard's glove. Covington took three
futile strikes, but Mcbride, the star hitter
of the day, walloped line drive over
second and Knisely scored Mcbride pill
fered second, but again Gudger demon
strated his pinch twirling ability when
ELAN was called out on strikes and Dill
ger went out easily on grounder to
the mound.
The Guls fought aggressively to sur
mount the handicap in the fifth and
succeeded. Dobard, completely dazzled by
the first three slants offered, slammed
the fourth to deep center for three bags.
Gudger was retired on strikes, but Al
O'Dell scored his third successive safety

Responding deftly in the pinches. Jim
Gudger checked the Barons and won 8
to 2. The huge spitbalist was faced with
trying situations frequently but he ex-
tended himself and emerged unscathed
from the yawning pitfalls. Dick Robert
son was batted for 10 hits, three going
for extra bases. and seemed to lack his
usual effectiveness in the pnches.
Aggressive fighting gave the Barons the
lead, but the Guils staged a batting rally
in the fifth and gained an irretrievable
trio of runs To the cudges of AL O'Dell
and Larue Kirby the Baron finger may
attribute his downfall. O'Dell hit safely
on each of his first three trips to the
plate. while Larue Kirby walloped the
longest home run witnessed in many days
with the aforementioned ODell perched
upon second base.
Clyde Mcbride made determined effort
to overhaul the Gulls as he registered four
singles off big Jim Gudger. Lii Marcan
secured only one hit, but 1t rolled to the
outfield bleachers and the second sacker
scored a home run. But despite these ter
rife wallops, big Jim Gudger was mas
ter of the situation, and scored an easy
victory The battle was replete with OPP

All doubt as to his ability vanished

O'Dell before him.
Gudger evinced signs of weakening in
the sixth, when Covington and Mcbride
singled in succession, but ELAN and Dill
ger were downed without result. In the
seventh Robertson elevated fly to Lord.
Marcan, who had failed to hit safely,
aroused fond hopes by crashing a drive in

home run of the contest. Stewart lined

Barons' Hopes Die

Magee was given an opportunity to
break into the glare of calcium in the
ninth, as a substitute hitter for Robert
son. The pinch hitter hoisted a fly to
Lord. Hopes scared when Marcan made
first on Hudnalls error and moved to
second on Stewards walk. Carroll hit a
short fly to left field. Lord, due to a
quick recovery following a faulty start.
bagged the hoist and doubled Marcan at
second.
Dobard, Stewart and Carroll scintillated
in the field. The Gull shortstop made
a wonderful stop of Carroll grounder In

first. Stewart cut off Schmidt's seeming
double to a single in the fourth, while
Carroll made two neat recoveries on rasr
