Nap Lajoie held two jobs with the Cleveland club in the American league in 1909.

But before snow fell on the Ohio city again the great second baseman had only one job left. Nap had become the manager of the and the fans called his club the Naps, And Lajoie also did one of the greatest second base jobsv of all time.for his club. But he couldn't play all nine positions, and the rest of his team didn't measure up -to the great old timer. Cleveland missed the bofct In 'a I three-cornered pennant fighi. with'I the Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox In 1908.

The Tigers won that time witn the help of a scrappy young outfielder named Ty Cobb. And in 1909 the Cleveland team just seemed to go to pieces. Ljaoic was still a great second best in the business. But he was unhappy about his other job he didn't want to be manager, and he blamed himself for the'team's failure. Finally he resigned.

Nap thought the best thing to do would be to leave the team entirely, but he was persuaded to stay on us a player. A rugged coach Deacon Jim Mc- over as pilot. Then came the 1910 season, and a battle for the batting championship that gripped the fans just as much as the pennant races. In one Cobb of the Detroit Tigers. And swinging a big bat or.

the' other side was Napoleon Lajoie of the Cleveland Naps. In the early days of the season Cobb jumped off to a quick lead in the percentage column. The high-riding Detroit slugger plas- I tcrcd hits all over the league as his" spikes flashed the base paths. Meanwhile Lajoie wasn't far be- hind. Nap kept pumping out his safeties almost as regularly as Cobb.

Nap had won the title in 1901, and again in 1903 and 1904, He knew he had a good chance of getting it back. An automobile company in Detroit offered a car to the winner of the league batting title that year. The moor officials probably had one oye op 'their own Detroit star when thty made the offer, because Ty looked like an overwhelming favorite to walk off with the crown. After all, he'd done it in and ought to be able to repeat. But the Cleveland fans took that as a wanted that prize for their man and as the season wore on they pulled for a base hit every time Lajoie came to bat.

But things didn't look good for the Cleveland hero as he and Cobb came down to the last week of the season. Cobb piled up a good-sixed then he left the Detroit lineup That threw the burden on Lajoie. Cobb rested on the average he had piled it was up to Nap to close the gap if he could. The Cleveland star went after Cobb's mark with hits ranging from his bat. With the last few days of the season facing him he pushed his mark up until it was close to not too close.

On the last day of the season the pencilpushers sat dqwn and found that Nap would need eight or nine hits to challenge the mark Ty Cobb had set. Cleveland took on the Saint Louis Browns in a doubleheader that day. It was in Saint and the players on both sides knew how badly Lajoie wanted his hits bhat day. Nap was a terror the Saint Louis pitchers that got hits in eight official times at bat. But the ninth here's how that went.

"Jack Graney roosted on third when Nap came laid down a bunt third or fourth time that -day. And that was the money Nap didn't beat it out for a h'lt' his average would be 384 to 385 for Ty Cobb. Nap raced down the' base line while the Brownie third baseman charged in. Corriden picked up the ball and then he stopped, for Graney was sliding Into third. While he hesitated Lajoie crossed the bag at first.

The official scorer looked down sadly and wrote: Nap didn't get the Cobb got the title.

IJick is the New Orleans prep school boy who pitched two he's with Boston's Louisville Farm club in the American association, Yawkey got another pitcher in June. He brought in Red Barrett from Columbus of the American association and Red's been a winner for the Sox. When Tex Hughson left to Join the navy the Red Sox reached out to the Pacific Coast league.
