was a long-time minor league baseball pitcher, winning nearly 300 games.
He won over 15 games in a season ten times, and he won over 20 games in a season three times - in 1923, with the Marshall Indians, with whom he went 20–8 in 235 innings of work; in 1936, when he went a combined 22–8 with a 2.83 ERA in 45 games split between the Jacksonville Jax and Fort Worth Cats; and in 1937, when he went 22-16 for the Fort Worth Cats.
Overall, he posted a record of 294–227, and current records indicate that his career ERA was 2.70, however that is inaccurate as multiple seasons in which he pitched are missing ERA information.
He managed the Marshall Indians for part of the 1923 season, replacing incumbent manager Hick Munsell and being replaced by Johnny Jones.
In 1938, he replaced Cecil Coombs as manager of the Fort Worth Cats, and in 1948 he replaced Babe Peebles as manager of the Gainesville Owls.
