OF the Chitarn white ok, could beat
hun in a stra gu away. Another very
last man Is Danny Hoffman of the
New York Americans.
One OF the best ballplayers who has
come into the game of recent years Is
Germany" SclNcfcr of the Detroit
club. He Is very clever and bril-
liant ballplayer and a great favorito
| with the spectators In all the cities
of the circuit. lie has a breezy way
about him that IL very taking and al
ways has his heart In the game, and
plays as II he liA3d II and not because
| he was just hired to. He Is In the
game all the tiGie and II makes no
difference what he Is doing he makes
you keep your Eyes on him all the
! time.
The American League lost very
good man In Jimmy" Callahan, who
who was with thr Chicago White Son
| last season. AMI who is now the own
er OF an indepen lent Sunday playing
club in Chicago, known as the Logan
Squares. When Callahan was pitch
er he was one " the best.
Another braiuy player In the Chica
go team Is the veteran George Davis
who has kept IN the game very Ions
time, and Is sti'i very valuable man
"A power on account Of his fielding
abilities-and dangerous man. ow
ing to his ability to use the bat advan
tageously.
A man who uses mighty good judg
ment In his work Is Bobby" Wallac,
OF the st. Louis. He Is great field
er and a splcadid batsman, a grea,
power In team at any juncture.
One of the grandest figures In the
game Is the veteran Lave" Cross oil
the Washington club, who was for &c
many years IN Philadelphia. Lave
Is a model bail player. He Is always
at his post, always does his work
well, never gives the umpire any trou
BILE at all. aud despite the fact that he
has played professional ball for more
than two decades, shows no trace al
al of his years, when he Is In the
game.
That big Frenchman. Napoleon La
Jaie, continues to be as hard man tc
fool as there Is in the game, and he IL
as good as ever as Is shown by the
work he has done this year. He has
q tremendous reach In fact, thinl
he has the greatest reach of any man
IN the game. No man makes easier
work of any department of the game
than does he.
Then there rs that great pair oil
players in the Boston club. James ]
Collins and Charley Stahl 1t is a
pity indeed hat Collins should have
been so han ticapped by his own ills
and those of his team this season. Ev
erything seems to have broken badly
for him. Stnhl is one OF the best out
falders the game ever saw. He is O
natural born ielder and coyesr an i'm

his position with remarkable judg
