BY CHARLES CARPENTER
Jake Early. Kings Mountain
baseball player who busted Into
the big time with the Washington
Senators In 1939, thrilled an i A
merican Legion Junior -baseball
crew of some 25 at an informal
bull-session and training lecture
at Central gymnasium last Sat
urday morning. .
The big catcher got as big a
bang out of the session as any
one of the kids did ? and they
really enJoyVd it.
Early made The Sporting News
this week and last Saturday Ken
Alexander, sports editor o f the
Gastonia Gazette, did a column
on the likeable major- leaguer. He
was pictured in .The News with a
group of 1939 rookies, six of !
vtaom made the" grade,
Jake steps down again this year
after 11 seasons in the big time.
He started the 1949 season with
the 'Nats Chattanooga Lookouts
farm club and moved up fast ?
got a call from Washington on
the morning of July Tth and was
told to grab a plane and be in
Washington ready to catch that
night. He got there but was not
needed behind the plate. Finish
ed up with a .246 average in 53
games. ,
This year he Is again starting
off at Chattanooga and doesn t
expect to get back to the big top
as a player.
Jake discussed rule changes for
1950 with the Juniors and con
ducted a question and answer pe
riod during Which the youngsters
fired plenty of questions. Jake
had the answers? except one:
tth at was how to pitch to Ted
Williams, Boston Bed Sox slug
ger. "Feed him pltenty ct curves,
Inside pitches and slow one and
duck."
Early, in his earlier major lea
gue days, was recognized as the
hardest throwing catcher In base
ball. He could really peg them
and the rest of the circuit knew it.
Now Jake says hU arm is not as
good as it oribe was, his legs are
not what they used to be.
But the veteran campaigner is
far from through. He's been stay
ing in good condition all winter,
both here and at the Jack Ros- 1
alter basdball school in Cocoa,
Florida, where he spent several
iTrtiffrlrti
W IXVw,
Right now he looks very chip
per, tilts the scales at 195, his
usual playing weight.
As Jake steps down another
Clevelander gets his big chance
at the majors.
Tom Wright, who burned up
the AA with Louisville last year,
will be batling for a berth in the
Red Six outfield, considered al*
ready one of the best in baseball.
Tom, who is from Shelby, is a
great hitter but reportedly has a
weak throwing arm. Pe Won the
American Association batting
crown last year With .368, a neat
Job.
And George Wilson, Crowders
Mountain baseballer, is still on
the outside of the Red Sox out
field, looking In. He will more
than likely continue on the Louis
ville roster. (He had a good sea
son with the stick last year also.
Back to Jake's session with the
Juniors....
Early told the boys to say noth
ing (don't brag) on the way to
the top. Said he was with the
'Nats for three years before he
opened his mouth and then he
figured he had made it.
A story he related was told by
one of his associates at the recent
baseball school where he was an
Instructor. Ttoe vet told the as
sembled rookies "to be kind to
everyone while you're on the way
up and they'll be kind to you on
the way down."
In relating his first appearance
in a major league contest, Jake
told the boys a tale full of the
"listen and jearn" angle. "Buoky
(Harris, Senator manager) told
me to grab a stick and get in
there. Bob Feller was pitching for
Cleveland and was he fast in
1939*. The guys on the bench told
me to choke up and tap one
through the infield. I was still a
bk hard-headed and thought I'd
hit a homer on the first pitch. Bob
fired one in and 1 took a healthy
cut, my cap went one way and I
fell flat way out in front of the
plate. That did it. I was really
embarrassed. So I started climb
ing up that hat on the next pitch
?had more of the bat under my
hands than on top ? and poked
one back between Bob's legs, ov
er second and out into center.
Surprised! I finally got started
running and Just made it to first"
. A*am.
H
(Our recollections peg Feller as j
Jake's meat in the long list of j
hurlCrs he has encountered. A a
we remember he got his hits off
Feller regularly.)
After service In the put war
when he was up froftt in action,
Jakfe dame back to the majors
a nil continued his "enjoyable"
years when he was a renowned
comedian behind the plate. Ma
ny a tale has been told of his
"chanting" and "tobacco auc
tioning" while some hitters were
trying to bust up a ball game. '
The old boys ? and a few are
left ? will miss him in the big
top this season.
