Baby Doll" Jacobson became base
ball sensation in 1919, just at a time
when he was about to be waived out of
the big leagues and perhaps sent to the
minors for Keeps"
jacobson ever a terrific clouter in the
bushes, has had several big league trials.
In each he failed miserably in efforts to
prove batting greatness against twirlers
in big time"
The Browns eventually secured Jacob
sor and kept him on the utility list. Oc-
casionaIly jacobson would break into the
game, but never showed anything of big
league calibre. At last Jimmy Burke,
manager of the Browns, became so dis
couraged over Jacobsons work that he
asked for waivers on the elongated out
fielder Not one club in the American
league exercised an option within the
24-hour period.
That decided Burke to let Jacobson go
back whence he came. Just as he was
about to serve notice of release, Johnnie
Tobin, star outfielder of the Browns,
ing to do but to jam Jacobson into the
lineup, and so in went Jacobson.
From that day up to the end of the
season Jacobson hit the ball at a start
ling clip. He became one of the batting
wonders of the baseball year. For
time it looked as if he might even nose
out the great Ty Cobb. Dating from
the time when he got chance as a big
leaguer. Jacobson hit for something like
$50. But his stick work in utility roles
early in the year had been so poor that
it pulled down his seasons mark to BIS.
But even that was big enough to place
him seventh in the list of regulars, and

ADAMS GREAT COMEBACK"
Rarely in baseball history has any
player staged a more remarkable come
back than Babe" Adams with the 1919
Pirates.
Born in 1888, Adams began his profess
sional baseball career in 1904 with the
Parsons (Mo9 outfit. In 1908 he became
member of the Pittsbgrg Pirates, and
rarked for many years afterward as one
of the greatest pitchers in baseball.
But along in 1915 Adams began to skid
from greatness and his days of major
league usefulness apparently came to an
end. So poor became his work that when
the Pirates asked for waivers on him
some seasons ago, not one club put in a
request for his services. So Adams
slipped into the minors. and was forgotten
by that part of the baseball population
which rarely thinks beyond the two big
leagues.
One day last summer, a scout for the
Pirates, browsing around in search of
talent, heard of finger by the name of
Adams who was doing wonderful work

was none other than the veteran. And
