uiar star ia the late worlds series,

His sudden rush into tie spotlight.
however followed nine years Of toll
back in the sticks and bushes, for
though he is now only g years old.
Kerr has been clubbing around, here
and there, since 1903. The records
indicate that he o. tanned his first
engag cement ten years ago with the
parasoulc, Ark club. and that he rose
BY gradual stages until he was pur-
chased by the White Sox from the
Brewers.
Kerr, like Arthur Nehf, o. the
Giants IS q tireless worker despite
his lack Of the bulk which iron men
are supposed 70 have. Hurting for
M1lHalkee last year, Kerr took part
IN p games IN a season shortened by
war tine eLigencles- he was credited
with winning II games and with los
ing seven, and he pitched 207 innings
more than any other ooxman in the
league HIS average Of earned runs
allowed per nine inning game was
z-v4s which is a mighty fine mark IN
any company. This year he held up
as end OF the task o. hurting the
White Sox 70 a pennant, winning Is
games and losing eight.

he is as game as they come. Incl
qentally as youngster on the St

OF a reputation as fighter, and Il IS
said that he has taken part in a num-
Der OF ring contests.
