Speaker broke in with the Bos-
ton Red Sox late in 1908 and was
a regular the following season.
With Duffy Lewis and Harry
Hooper he formed the greatest
outfieId trio in baseball. They did
things positively unbelievable, and
did them every day.
Speakers highest batting aver
age was 1888 in 1920 with the
Indians. Never considered fast
man on the bases, nevertheless, he
stole SO bases for the Red Sox
in 1912. He was gracefulness

batsman with runners on ahead
of him.
Professional baseball is the bet
ter for having such a man as

is certain to be felt.

Speaker was most popular
leader when he took charge of the
Indians in 1919 and when his
team, largely through the great
work Of Stanley Coveleskie and
the late Ray Chapman, won Cleve-
lands first pennant in 1920, he
owned all Ohio. The world series
triumph over Brooklyn, again
largely through the remarkable
pitching of Coveleskie, who won
his three starts, made Speaker
the pet of the city.
Baseball memories are brief,
however. In 1925 this writer
heard the great "Spoke" booed at
Dunn Field and marveled thereat.
The fans seemed to think "Spoke"
had lost his cunning.
Last spring Speaker suffered
from weak knee. This inter-
fered with his hitting and, find
ing his fielding not up to snuff,
he benched himself, not returning
to the lineup until thoroughly
rested. He finished the recent
campaign with a batting average
of .304, exactly 40 points below
his mark of 1924.
