This youngster was a sensation as

once in the far west-which is so far
away that minor bouts are not apt

Floyd has had his work cut out for

tell us the following of Jake's debut
cleveland and Beckley of Pitts
burgh made their first showing to-
day. Cleveland did not have a
chance to distinguish himself, but
young Beckley did very we'll, con-
tributing two hits. one triple
while he also felded his position
perfectly"
During his twenty years in the
majors Beckley set up several rec
ords. On September 26, 1897, he
hit Larry Sudhoff of St. Louis for
three homers. Ken Williams of the
Browns is one of the few players
to bag three homers in the same
game He turned the trick early
last spring.
On September u, 1893, Eagle
Eye" handled twenty-five putouts at
first base for Cincinnati, tying the
major league record.
Beckley holds the National League
record for sacrifice hits, sixty-four,
made with the Pittsburgh club in
1898. This record is particularly
meritorious, as there were no sacri-
fee flies scored in those days, sacri-
fees being scored only on inheld
bunts advancing the runner.
