was a past master at kicking on every
thing the umpire decided-untI the year
1907 A. D.-and how he used TO wear foot
ball toggery and bing the bail TO the
uncut timber when the Giants needed

BAH honor against the world she could do
it. Favored with three clubs. two of which
are recognized leaders throughout the
baseball land it could call into service
players who have no equals in Amer

by joining the forces of the Giants
lighlandcrs and superbas, a coterie Of
the greatest stars in their respective po-
stions in the country would be produced.

perbas are among the fastest men in
professional baseball when it comes to

Lumlcy and Jordan, of the superbas
are the greatest home run hltters OF
America.

Bresnahan, OF tho Giants. is generally
regarded as the best catcher in tho
