Old Timer Again
Hanks Back to Old
New England Days

Sporting Editor Journal:
, This is q story of q game played
on the old Randolph grounds way
back in either 1887 or '88. Lewiston
was playing Gardiner, and o. B. Cla-
son, the former Bates college star,
and well known Gardiner attorney
was umpire.
Joe and Abel Lizotte were the
Lewiston battery, while Johnny
Priest and Donovan were working Tor
Gardiner.
The "old timers" all remember
"Gib" Hutchins, a player Of great
ability, but inclined to be rather pug
nacious at times. Hence the nick
name, "Hutchins, the kicker, which
stuck to him during his eventful
career on the diamond. I sincerely
hope that George reads and enjoys
this story. don't know whether he
will figure as "hero" or william.
Glib" met one of Joe's fast noes"
and sent the ball over the center field
fence for an apparently sure home
run. While George, who was inclined
to be spectacular, was turning hand
springs around the bases, Theban.
the Lewiston center fielder jumped
over the fence and threw the ball
to the right fielder, who relayed 1t
to Tony Kearns at second. Tony
lined the ball to the catcher and
when "Gib" strutted to the plate,
Abel tagged him out. OF course
there was excitement galore. and a
heated debate between "Gib" and the
umpire, but Clason gave his decision
as "Out!" and of course that settled
the argument.
In the spring Of 1895 someone rec
commended to "Tony" McDonough,
the manager Of the Lewiston New
England League team, a young CAB
driver in Woonsocket, and suggested
that he be given trial with the
Spindle City" aggregation. But
"Tony' said that he was looking for
ball players and not cab drivers.
So Napoleon Lajoie started his ca
reer with Fall River and he literally
burned up" the league. He played
center field and also played several
games behind the bat. Charley Mars
ton tried to interest Boston in La
joie and Klobedariz, but with poor
success. Arthur Irwin, scouting for
the Giants, wanted Andrew Freed
man, then the owner Of the New
York club, to buy the great French
man. But candy" was not interested.
Fall River played Augusta at the old
driving park grounds early in Aug
ust, and won the game by the one
sided score of 20 to 8. In this game
Lajoie caught and had regular
''field day., driving out singles.
doubles and home runs. and fielding
brilliantly. Among the interested
spectators in the grand stand that
day was "Billy" Nash. scouting for
Philadelphia. Nash lost no time in
recommending Larry" to his mana
ger, and the great Napoleon played
his first game with the Phillies on
August ~. Lajoie's batting average
while with Fall River was 429. From
that far-off day to this year Of
Grace, 1923, Lajoie has been ack-
nowledged as one Of the great play
ers Of all time.
Sincerely

HOWARD 3. ORTNER

Coach Cornell UniversityS known
for his brilliant, aggressive teams.
No. unless the coach finds that the
popularity impairs his effectiveness.
The best way is to try to give this
player special attention on his shoot
ing form and see how he reacts. If
he readily picks up his shooting af-
ter corrected, then make his shoot
the proper way. If the habit is so
deeply ingrained that is is difficult
to change, allow him to shoot his own
way.
