ALL-AROUND PLAYER
Is VERY VALUABLE

NEW YORK, February 5-The "all-
round base ball player has become a
steady fixture on the strenuous game Of
these days, and the recent publication Of
records shows that he holds his own among
the stars, despite his continual switch OF
position
The "all-round'' or utility, man, as he Is
commonly called, Is rare specimen, and
many clubs have dropped out Of a race be-
cause they could not find one. What would
Cleveland have done last season had La
joie had a utility man like Strang, Joe
Yeager or Bresnahan to bolster I'D the
team when misfortune befen the stars?
As rule, jack of all trades Is good at
none." but there are exceptions to this in
every line OF business. and the utility man
Of base ball is a shining example.
Three attachments are absolutely essen
tial to a utility player. He must be able to
play the infeld, the outheld and be a good
hitter. Without either Of these he is no
good to a team.
Roger BreSnahan.s. career is probably the
most unique of all the all-round men, as
ne has played every position on a club, and
has played them we'll Roger first entered
the big league as a pitcher for the Washing
ton club. A year or 50 afterward he was
playing with Baltimore.
You ought to make a good catcher" Nc
Graw said to Bresnahan one day when the
Catching iofSC was Ci1ppl0o. suppose YOU
go in and try It,"
Bresnahan went behind the bat and did
SO well that he never pitched since
Soon after he came to New York Nc
Graw was in need Of a good third base
man, and as Devlin had not yet developed
he sent Roger to the third sack. There he
also made good. Later he played the out
field. In every position Bresnahan has been
able to master the situation.
Joe Yeager of the Highianders is another
ball player of varied attachments. He also
started out as q pitcher. but his prowess
with the bat soon forced him into the field,
where he has since played every position
except that of catcher.
Sammy 6tranSs true worth was not ap-
preciated until McGraw secured him from
Brooklyn three years ago. The Giant man
ager saw a great future for Strang as q
utility man, and 1t has proved fortunate
for Sammy as we'll as the club.
Strang has never pitched nor caught, but
has repeatedly played every other position
on the club. and with all these changes he
led the club during the season just closed
in batting. with a percentage of .319.
Frank Isbell Of the champion White Sox
Is another ali-round player. and with It all
Is considered the best batter on the club
"1zzy" says he can pitch some too, but his
hitting is too valuable to waste on q
pitcher.
Cincinnati has great utility man in Lo-
bert He can not only play any of the po-
sitions. but can run bases like deer

In retail trade followed the advent OF

but conditions are still irregular.
Sensational advances in prices OF
farm products, especially wheat, fol-
lowed reports of extensive damage to
the crop, but frequent reactions en-
phasized the speculative nature OF
the rise in quotations and tended to
restore confidence. Wholesale trade
in fail goods is brisk from all points
except where the crops have been Sc
rlously Injured and the net result OF
this forward business makes the out
look for the future fairly satisfactory
Manufacturing plants are kept

of pig iron production failing to keep
pace with consumption and more i'm
ports were arranged. Freight move
ment Is almost prompt, the supply OF
rolling stock. more nearly equalling
requirements and there are fewer
complaints of delays. Quieter condi-
tons in primary markets for dry
goods are largely due to the fact that
manufacturers of cottons are sold so
far ahead that they cannot accept the
attractive offers constantly made for
early delivery There Is more dispo.
stion to provide for needs in the au.
tumn, producers accepting contracts
for remote delivery and the market is
not handicapped by accommodations at
the mills. TO this strong statistical
position may be attributed the appa.

the sharp rise In the price of raw
