BUFFALO, N. Y, July 17,-For
Marse Joe Mccarthy. former
manager of the New York Yam
KEGS, the most unforgettable
character in baseball wasn't Babe
Ruth or Lou Gehrig, Gabby Hart
nett or Bill Dickey, but an
obscure minor Lacquer named
Jay Kirke whom Mccarthy man
aged, or tried to, at Louisville in
the American Association.
No one in baseball has a finer
collection Of anecdotes than
Marse Joe, whose prodigious
memory Is the envy Of baseball
writers and officials. His prize
collection are the tales Of Jay
Kirke.
Jay was a great hitter" Nc
Carthy said the other day. And
he opened guide book to show
that In 1921 Kirke made 282 hits
in q 16S-game schedule, . record
never surpassed. His average
was 1886. He whaled 43 doubles,
II triples, 81 horners and famed
only three times. On three oc-
casions he had batting streaks
Of more than 80 games. In 1922
Kirke produced 255 hits, q total
of 537 for two successive years
another baseball record.
Kirke had only one obsession--
hitting. There were times he
didn't know the score, or where
his team stood in the race. Once,
returning home from the ball
park, his step jaunty and his
honest features beaming that
everything was right in the
world, a fan asked him:
who won?"
They did," replied Jay. II for
got the score but" he added hap
pily, Il got four hits"
1t was jays habit on entering
the kitchen to boast to Mrs.
Kirke about his hitting that
afternoon. On one bad after
noon, he was horse -collared."

Peoples Drug Snaps
Quins' Long Streak

Mort Irwin, coach Of the Peoples
Drug Store baseball team, an entry
in the Midget League Of the Boys
Club of Washington, yesterday
watched his team snap one Of the
longest winning streaks in Boys
Club annals by edging Eastern
Quins, 4-3.
The Quins had ruled the league
since 1945, rolling up 10 straight to
cop the crown last year and adding
IA more this year.
Al Martini, a converted second
baseman, did the hurting for Peoples
and gave up only two hits. He
walked 10, but had control when he
needed it and pitched himself out
OF one hole after another.
Bob Govan's two-run double,
which came In the fourth inning
with the bases loaded and the score
tied at %, was the deciding blow.
The loss knocked the Quins out Of
first place in second-half play.
Undefeated Alexandria swamped
Washington Flour, ITO. to take over
the lead, while in other games,
Merrick A blasted Merrick B, Ito;
Southwest Harbor blanked George
town Grays. 90, and Maloney Con-
crete defeated Eastern Mats, 1l-4.
