HANS WAGNER

Manager Fred Clarke, the Pirates
| leader. declares that Hans" Wagner
his famous shohtstop, is the greatest
ail-around baseball player alive, anc
he Is willing to back Wagner against
any man In the world at the games to
be held at Cincinnati, o.. for $1,000 OF
many times that amount for the all
around championship.
The fans in Pittsburg say that Wag.
ner is the finest player in any depart
ment ever seen In the game. and be
sides the amount preferred by Man
ager Clarke as wager II Is said that
thousands can be had TO back Wagner
against any player In an all-around
championship from Pittsburg fans.
Manager Clarke said: Everywhere
I have shown Wagner they openly ad-
NIT that he is the greatest shortstop
In the world. There is nothing like
him as a shortstop, but that is not all.
He is the best ball player who ever
stood In shoes. and L am willing to
bet a lot Of money that he is what |
say he is.
TALK about Lajoie or Chance. why
they don't begin to class with this
fellow and they know It. The appella-
tlon King of the Diamond belongs to
Wagner by all that is fair. and in
tend to see that he gets what is COM
ing to him. Yes. will wager $1,000
on Hans to beat any player in the
world In an all-around contest, TO con-
sist OF anything which takes in run
ming, throwing, bunting, fungo hit
ting, throwing for accuracy, catching
grounders, throwing for distance, a
run around the bases. or any other
thing that they might desire.
my old friend Larry Is good
hitter and then you have said Il all.
He cannot run with Wagner; no. not
one stride as fast as the Pirate. As
for throwing and fungo hitting and
sliding and all that. why, Larry
would look bad alongside of this Ger
man.
Now II there is any player In the
country who can command $1,000 or
more. which would suit us better. and
that player thinks he Is the equal OF
Wagner In an all-around contest, step
up, and we will bet him dizzy and for
the first time show the world a real
champion.
II might add that there are few fell
lows who can beat the German to first.
outside OF that there is not a depart.
ment that he does not excel the mail.
Hans will get all those runners In a
race at second. beat them to third and
come to the plate breezing. The bet
is open. await taller. or intend to
claim a title for the modest German II
they didge contest with him"
