Some hail accompanied the storm

damaged considerably, however.

BOSTON ROOKIE
LIKE MEADOWS
Danny MacFayden, Bespec.
tacled Youth, Is Making
Baseball History Now
RY BILLY EVANS

Manager Bill Carrigan of the
Boston Red Sox believes he has a
second Lee Meadows in Danny Mae
Fayden.
MacFayden. by the way, is be-
specialized high school pitcher the
Boston club picked up last season
He made his first big league start
against the great Walter Johnson
last fall and turned in Il most cred
liable performance.
Is Like Meadows
Bill Carrigan is sincere when he
says he believes MacFayden has a
great chance. His style is not un-
like that of Lee Meadows. In many
ways the resemblance is quite strk
ing.
Until Lee Meadows convinced the
baseball sharps that a pair Of spec
tacles was no handicap to 4 diam
ond performer, major league man
ayers laughed ut the very idea Of u
bespectacled player having chance
in fast company.
Meadows made his ma or league
debut in 1913 with the St. Louis
Cardinals. For a short time he was
regarded more in the light of u
curiosity than big Lacquer. How
ever, in very short time he had i'm
pressed the opposing batters quite
to the contrary.
In his very first year he won -
and lost IL games with only $3.50
club. At the close of the season
he was much talked about and
photographed young man.
That was 13 years ago and Mead
ows is still going strong as men,
her Of the Pittsburgh Pirates. His
first seven starts Of the present sea
son resulted in victories, giving him
the premier position among the
major league twirlers.
Many Enroll
The success of Meadows made il
possible for the bespectacled player
to get a trial, at least. Following
him came George Toporcer, an in
fielder, who is IN his seventh year
as member Of the St. Louis Card
inals. Then came Carmen Hill, a
pitcher, and strangely enough, he also
is with Pittsburgh. Late last fall
Danny MacFayden got his chance.
This spring, southpaw by the
name Of Taber enrolled with the
Philadelphia Nationals.
Like George Uhle, pitching ace Of
the Cleveland Indians, MacFayden
came to the majors with no. profess
sional experience. The sandlots pre-
pared Uhle, while MacFayden is a
product Of the prep school fields.
As a high school pitcher, MaeFay-
den first gained fame because of his
strikeout feats. Seldom did he work
a game in which he failed to set
down at least a dozen on strikes.
Several of his performances now
read more like fiction than reality.
Was Tied Up Early
As a rule, these rookie stars are
picked up by some club other than
their home city. MacFayden was the
exception, for the Boston Red Sox
early tied him up in case he decided
to play professional baseball.
MacFayden is Highlander of
ordinary size but we'll put up. He
has a great fast ball. It is this one
asset that pleases Manager Carrigan
most. He believes his speed will
prove the foundation Of successful
career.
Under the resourceful Bill Carri-
gan, great catcher in his day, Mac
Fayden is lettering his curve and
learning change Of pace. He has
shown such rapid improvement that
his manager now has enough conf.
dence in his ability to start him.
