Ed Irvin from the Chronology

May 18, 1912 - The Tiger players protest Cobb's suspension and vote to strike. Faced with a $5‚000 fine for failing to field a team‚ club owner Frank Navin orders manager Hughey Jennings to sign up some local amateurs. Aloysius Travers‚ Bill Leinhauser‚ Dan McGarvey‚ Billy Maharg (whose real name was Graham‚ "Maharg" reversed)‚ Jim McGarr‚ Pat Meany‚ Jack Coffey‚ Hap Ward‚ and Ed Irvin put on Tiger uniforms. Two Detroit coaches‚ Joe Sugden‚ 41‚ and Jim McGuire‚ 48‚ complete the lineup‚ and score the only two runs for Detroit. The Athletics set a club scoring record in winning‚ 24-2‚ as Travers goes all the way‚ giving up 26 hits and 24 runs in 8 innings. The A's also set an AL-home record of most runs without a homer. The only recruit to hit for Detroit is Irvin‚ who enters in the 3rd inning and laces 2 triples in 3 at bats. Irvin had been offered a contract by the Phillies before the season‚ but did not want to be farmed out and refused. He closes his ML career with a 2.000 slugging average (only 3 other players will debut with 2 triples)-Weatherly‚ McCovey‚ and Sipin). Irvin will be killed in a barroom brawl in his native Philadelphia in 1916. Only one ever plays another ML game: Maharg will bat once for the Phils at the end of 1916. He will also be involved as a conspirator in the Black Sox scandal of 1919. A's starter Jack Coombs leaves after 3 innings with a 6-0 lead‚ good enough for a win under the rules at the time. Boardwalk Brown and Herb Pennock divide the rest of the pitching for the A's. Starter Al Travers‚ having pitched his only ML game‚ returns to his studies at St. Joseph's College and later becomes a Catholic priest.
