From Sand Lots to Big League in One
Jump Story of George Uhle's Career
BY BILLY EVANS,

Seven years ago George Uhle was
pitching sandlot baseball in Cleveland.
Today George Uhle is the pitching
ace of the Cleveland Indians. He
leads the American League twirlers
in games won.
The rise of George Uhle % sudden
fame in baseball outdoes the diamond
fiction Of Frank Merriwell. This hero
of many a baseball yarn became fam
Gus because of so-called double-twist.
He did everything but make the ball
talk.
While George Uhle LAYS claim to
no double twists in his pitching
repertory, American League batters
will tel. you that he has something
on every ball he pitches. His stock
in trade consists of a puzzling fast
ball. sharp-breaking curve. n teasing
slow ball and deceptive change of
pace.
That is enough for any pitcher,
say the leading batsmen of the
American League.
Uhle is - years of age. While he
has been playing ball since kid. he
figures chat his career really started
at l.. He dopcs il that 'ray because
it was the first time be wore a regu
lar uniform and played on club in
which every athlete was arrayed in
the same kind of n suit. Prior TO that
time his baseball outfit consisted of
little more than a glove and usually
not very good one at that.
While the fact is not generally
known, Uhle as q ,oungster aspired
to be a catcher. He played that posi-
ton as kid. Not until nine years
ago did he ever pitch ball. The pos
SCISSOR of great arm. be was urged
to pitch a game one day when illness
made it impossible for the regular
twirler to do his stuff. He won his
game. did a good job of it and has
been pitching ever since.
For four gears Uhlr pitched for any
number of amateur clubs in and
around Cleveland. He was always
open for pitching engagement. Soon
his good work in the box began to
receive favorable mention III the
press. Every now and tfen the sand
lotter Uhle would turn in some pitch
ing feat that got his name into the
headlines.
Then came the turning point in
his baseball career. He was signed
for a tryout with the Standard Parts
team of Cleveland, n fast semi-pro-
feSsionai club.
He made good in his very first start
and throughout the season pitched
remarkable ball. On this team were
several former big league stars. They
touted Chle as a major league posi-
bility.
At the close Of that season he
