Lajoie Cannot
Be Outguessed,
Kittredge Says.

Cleveland, March 24.--1f Napoleon
Lajoie has an admirer among the
baseball men Of the past and present
1t is Malachi Kittredge. the veteran
catcher, who Is now making his resi-
dence In Cleveland. According to
Kittredge II was almost impossible
to outguess the Frenchman when the
latter was at his best. To illustrate
his argument Kittredge relates two
anecdotes.
when was with Washington We
had a lefthander named Jacobson"
he said. Zone day when we were
playing Cleveland he told us before
he took the field that he had solved
Lajoie's weakness.
what is it?' we asked.
"a curve ball rather low he told
Larry came up with three on. ia
cobson gave him that slow curve
rather low. Larry swung. Away went
the ball over Charley Jones' head. 1t
hit the old center field fence out on
Durham Avenue, bounded back and
hit Jones on the head, knocking him
down.
Say said Jones when he came in
when the inning was over. If when
you pitch Larry's weakness to him and
he hits it 80 hard 1t knocks an out
fielder down after 1t hits the fence
I'd hate to be playing center If you
pitched one in his groove
Then there was Hunter Hill. We
had him on third base. The third
sackers used to play short left field
when Nap Latoie came to bat. and so
did Hill the first few games be play
ed against Cleveland. Larry. of course.
took advantage of It and used to lay
many a one down and beat 1t to first.
This got Hill sore and he came to us
one day and announced he had studied
Larry and could tell by his movements
when the Frenehmen intended to
bunt
HE won't fool me any more said
Hill. II have him pegged and you'll
see me right on top of the plate by
the time the ball leaves the bat
"He did II all right and Larry
bounded one off his knee into the
third base hleachers. Larry got
home run and Hill did not put uni
form on again for five weeks. In
fact that blow he got practically put
him out of the big leagues"

Americans were defeated today by the
fast Virginia nine. 3 to /. The Col
iegians made three runs off Shaw in
the third inning. while the best the
professionals could do was to push
one lone tally across in the eighth,
with the aid of a doubtful decision
by Umpire Altrock. The hitting was
light on both sides. Washington made
two double plays. but the fielding
feature of the contest was running
