He fined four of his stars $25 apiece
and then looked up the manager of
the Harrisburg team. what will
you take for your shortstop?" asked
Chapman. coming to the point imme-
diately.
This is mighty sudden said the
Harrisburg manager. Let me think"
His price proved satisfactory, and
when the Louisvilles left Harrisburg
that night one Hughey Jennings, for
mer shortstop for Harrisburg, was a
member of Chapman's cast. For that
afternoon the Ee-yah boy had pun
meled the Louisville pitchers for
three doubles and a single in four
times up and played a smashing game
at short.
Went to Work Mt Once.
Jennings was only a kid twenty-one
years old at the time, but he was
put promptly to work. When the
Colonies got back to Louisville to
open q home stand with Washington,
Hughey jennings was at short for
the Kentuckians. Hughey's name
first appeared in a big league box
score on June 1, 1891.
Hughey didn't thump Frank Fore
man, but the Washington boxman,
as lively as he whacked the Louis
willie pitchers in the exhibition game
at Harrisburg. Thirty hits were
made by the two teams, Washington
getting II and Louisville IL. only
two men who took part in the game
failed to bag at least one hit, oliver
Beard, third baseman for the Colonels,
and Jennings.
However. We find Jennings well
spoken OF in the brief lead sent out
OF Louisville with the box score that
night:
THE washingtons made hits when
hits were needed and the Louisvillcs
made errors when errors were costly.
Consequently Washington won easily
by IA to 3. The game was slow and
uninteresting. Jennings played his
FIRST game with Louisville and did
very we'll"
worked without an Error.
While Hughey did no hitting. he
handled eight chances in the Held
without an error.
jennings rise from a pit-boy in the
Pennsylvania coal mines to a big
league star was fast, but the story of
how he got started with Harrisburg
is even more novel than his start with
Louisville. The writer got IL frst
hands from Jack Coons, minor
league veteran. who was catcher OF
the Harrisburg team In 1891.
Coons' hands became badly bunged
up. and. as the team had only one
catcher. the Harrisburg manager sent
up to Leighton for n young catcher
who was playing semi-pro ball there
and had attracted a little attention
the previous year at Allentown. Yes,
old Ea-vah originally had ambitions
Of being catcher.
Hughey got along all right with
| Harrisburg until somebody tried to
steal second on him. Jennings drew
back lis arm for mighty heove, and
| let go OF the ball. He hit the inno-
cent batsman standing ut the plate
| in the back OF the neck, knocking
him out. The ball bounded into the
stand, the runner on the bases com
ing home. The next time Hugh threw
to second he slapped the ball into the
thirty feet in the air. Hugh had a
lot OF stun behind his throws, but his
| aim wasn't as good as his intentions.
Second Throw TOO Mwcb.
That second throw was too much
| and Coons. with his battered up
digits, was ordered back OF the bat.
The Harrisburg manager wanted 20
send Hughey back on tho next train,
but on Coons' recommendation he was
kept. Coons had watched the boy hit,
