Show When Art Shires, the Great Sensed a Job in the Outfield John Kieran of the New York Times contributes the following incident concerning con-cerning Charles Arthur Shires: "The Senators have a young first baseman named Joe Kubel, a tall, thin, darkhaired school boy, and for whom they are reported to have paid something like $05,000 to Kansas City. "Joe Judge put the youngster in at .first base in the first game of a double dou-ble header against the Bed Sox and the lad did so well that the acting manager decided to sit on the bench during the second game, too, and watch the youngster cover Ills position. "The Great Shires kept studying the rookie at bat and in the field. - VfTlL. ' ' g s t , , r 1 v - 7 1 ' MTnrfT'w- n'tiMnii Art Shires. Shires, of course, looked upon himself him-self as the logical successor to Joe Judge and Hal Chase, too, for that matter. But toward the end of the afternoon the great Shires began rummaging rum-maging around the dugout, peering under the bench and moving tiie sweaters sweat-ers on the hooks overhead. "What's the matter, Art?" asked Al Schacht. "Nothing," said Hie great Shires. "I'm just looking for an outfielder's glove.'' 1 |
