Another Carolina league pitcher
has been purchased by a major league
club, this time Le "Specs" Meadows
of Durham being the twirler who
will have a chance to try out in big
company. Scout bub Connery, of the
KoHton Cardinals, who was in an Is ter
ritory for several days about two
weel;s ago Is the man responsible for
the deal whereby Kelly sold Mea
dows to the Boston club. Meadows
will not report to the Boston club
until after the present Carolina league
season is over.
It la understood that offers were
made him by the New York Giants,
Boston Red Sox and the Philadelphia
Athletics, but the Boston Cardinals
were the ones that finally landed the
deal.
"Spec ' Meadows, as he Is known
n the Carolina league, la conceded
to be one of the best twirlers that
the league has produced. Mo pitched
college ball several years before he
broke Into professional baseball but
since playing with the league clubs
he has established a reputation for
good pitching that few class D twirl
ers ever succeed In doing. He Is one
of the few pitchers In baseball that
wears glasses, but despite this hand)
cap he Is able to watch every move
ment on the field and very few
things ever happen In the game that
he does not see.
The following special from Bnatori
confirms the sale of Meadows:
'Boston, Aug. . A pitcher afflict
ed slightly with weak sight and
forced to wear glasses while working
In the hill ha been purchased by the
Cardlnslfc. .e la Lee Meadows,
giant right bander, from the Durham,
N. C. club. The Durchase has been
completed and Meadows will report
at Hoblaon field thie fall.
''Scout Bob Connery Is responsible
for discovering Meadows. He has
boon pitching sensational ball In
Carolina and offers were made to the
club own re by the Olanta, Red Box
and Athletics, but the bid from the
Cardinals proved to be the highest
and Connery landed his prise.
"According to Connery, Meadows la
i sure winner, despite the affliction of
being forced to wear glasses while
curving on the hilt.'
