GOWDY's NATIONAL LEAGUE DEBUT

Hank Gowdy, the Boston backstop who is now serving at the front in France, will celebrate today the eighth anniversary of his debut in the National League. Hank got his major league start with the New York Giants on Sept. IS, 1910, when he covered first base in a game in which the Pirates opposed the McGraw clan. Gowdy's record on the field was 10 putouts, one assist and one error. At the bat he didn't get hit in three times up, the delivery of Babe" Adams being too baffling for the fu- ture star of the Beaneaters. Gowdy was bought by the Giants from the Dallas club of the Texas League, and had previously played with Lancas- ter, in the Ohio State League. Hank stuck with the Giants less than a year, and in July, 1911, McGraw swapped him to the Braves for Char ley Herzog. Gowdys work at the ini- tial bag didn't make much of an im- pression on stallings, and he shipped | him off to Buffalo, where he was put l behind the bat and soon became the | star backstop of the International l circuit. Hank was recalled to the Boston club at the close of the Inter | national season.
 | Gowdy is not the only member of the Braves who failed to make good on his first assignment, but by switch
 ing positions developed into a star.
 Stallings himself was failure as a
 catcher, in the big show, but he Is
 considered a fine manager. Then
 there was Schmidt, who was cheese
 as a pitcher, but Jack Dunn develop
 ed him into a crack first sacker.
 Johnny Evers started as shortstop,
 but later found his natural position
 at the keystone bag. Old Fred
 Mitchell was a pitcher before he be- l oana Q backsfoO

It is doubtful if any major league club during the past 20 years entered a series either at home or on the road with such a limited number of players as Miller Huggins did when the Yankees played their last set of games at Washington. He had no extra catcher, nor. had he an extra inf1elder or outfielder. Besides this, there was no such thing as pinch hitter on the team. Twelve players made up the entire outfit, the three men having been pitchers. One of these was Sanders, who did not pitch one complete major league game dur ing the past season. The Yankees set record for losing players, as IT of the original "A left without release being handed out and another who started the season, Hank Robinson also quit.

J. Doyle of Fargo has been nomin-
ated by President Wilson for reap
pointment as United States marshal
in the North Dakota district. l.. l..
Stair of Bottineau was candidate
for the place, and was backed by the
Nonpartisan league.

friends the weight of the league
might cause his failure.

ZatiOn. -.s~-
Doyle recently incurred the. dis
pleasure of some of the league lead
