A Coming Ball PLAYER.

b. In Second Baseman Evers the Chicago
National League team has the youngest
player in the league. Only eighteen years
of age, Evers is stationed at the most i'm
portant position on the team that sue
ceeded in reaching first place away from
it's own bailiwick. There Is nothing in his
work or actions. however. that would
stamp him other than a matured player.
He possesses that valuable asset that Is
not overprevalent even in the National
League. base ball sense" and couples it
with a GOODNESS and confident bearing that
stands him in good stead In the strictly
mechanical features of the game he is
above the average, and in the matter of
hitting has the happy proclivity Of driving
out base hits just when his team needs
them most. Evers was signed merely for
utility purposes but when his chance came
his work In all departments was so uni
formly excellent that Manager Selee was
forced to find a regular position for him on
the team 1t was decided to have him sup
plant the veteran Lowe, who was switched
to first base, and the very fact that this
youngster was able to acceptably fill the
older mans shoes is the greatest praise
that could be bestowed. Within season
or two Manager Selee declared that the
youth will acquire the necessary polish
that goes to make a genuine diamond star.
