almost to a man, considers Hans Wagner
| the greatest player in the game at the pres

tainly q rare performer, but Lajoie
is his superior. l don't think base ball
| has ever offered a player who could tie the
Frenchman. He Is almost in a class by
himself when it comes to hitting and field
ing. and he has rare speed in getting down
to first and making the circuit of the bases
He played sensational ball all summer long
in 1901. Great as Lajoie was when he was
Quaker, his all-round work, to my way of
thinking, showed huge improvement last
year over what he had ever shown before"
