, ball player in the world rs often asked
To this question every Que will give di
ferent answer, choosing this or that play'
rs his favorite. I'D Williamson, OF III
, Chicagos, says that he considers Robinson
: Of the Browns, the best general ball playI
. in the world. lie said: Take Robbie u
/, and drop him down in any position on
ball field aud he will put up iirst-cla
game Of ball. lie can pitch, catch an
= play any position ON the held. lie Is
good batter, too, ms his record oil over IN
, last year would show. Kelly is considers
by many the peer OF them all, but don
think 50. Kel is apt TO play a brilliaI
!, game in any position, but he Is not re
: able. Thus, one day at short stop he ms
e play q iaultless game, and The next pi
up q big list OF errors. Robinson saliva,
a brilliant and at the same time reliabi
y and for the best general ball player IN u
o world ] would put him against all col
4 ers."
