Clyde Milan. Clyde Milan By NORMAN E. BROWN Clyde Milan, fleet-footed center fielder field-er of the Washington ball clufy is all set for his thirteenth complete season. There are few men in the big show today to-day who can show as consistent and faithful a record for one club owner as Clyde. The Linden, Tenn., boy joined the capital team August 28, 1S07, being bought from Wichita in the Western Association. Ho played in forty-eight games for Griff that summer and in 1908 his first full season, became one of the regular outfield trio. The record book shows that ho played over 127 j games each year from then on until he slipped to 88 games last season. He has always been a good hitter, hovering hover-ing about the .300 mark. In two campaigns cam-paigns those of 1911 and J912, he stepped over .300, batting and .315 and .306. His wonderful speed afield and on. the bases have been his chief assets, however. He has won base-stealing honors and always ranks high in sacrifice sac-rifice hits due to his ability to "get down" fast. Last season, Milan hit .287 in 88 games, swiped forty bases. Ho collected col-lected twelve sacrifice hits, That he's a mean man to pitch to is shown by the fact that he fanned only sixteen six-teen times during tho season. Milan played with the North Texas league in 18905 and played with McAllister McAl-lister and Shawnee before joining Wichita.
