Peck Is Native of Ohio

Peckinpaugh is a native of Wooster,
Ohio, where he was born thirty years
ago. He makes his home in Cleve-
land. where he signed his first major
league contract in 1910, with nothing
but sandlot experience. He was
farmed out in May of that year to
New Haven and recalled in August
after attaining batting average of
.255 for 101 games. The following
year he was with the Portland club of
the Pacific Coast League. where he
bettered his hitting mark of the pre-
vious season by three points. and was
recalled al the close of the season.
His first real season as major
Lacquer was with Cleveland in 1912.
when in 50 games he hit for .2l2.
He was traded to New York for
StranG and Lelivelt In May Of the
following year, when in 96 games
he boosted his figures to .2SS. In
157 games in 1914 he had a batting
record of .223, and was manager of
the club from September II to the
close of the season, finishing out the

as any shortfielder in the country and
has an arm of steel. This latter con-
Sideration alone means much to the

own legitimate duties instead Of edg-

But Peck's value does not consist
solely in the mechanical perfection of
his fielding and the timeliness of his
hits. He is endowed to an unusual
extent with base ball brains and is
credited with being a natural leader.

the opinion may be ventured that

TRENTON. n. j., January IL
