attention, Hal E. Erwin of Lansing,
one of Michigan's best drivers and
trainers has sent the horse "Odell

and winter to his owner, VIM. Green,

stables in West Owosso, where the
service of mares may be arranged for
at any time.

and sold to VIM. Green when two
years old.
Odell Chapman is trotter by Fine
Gold, record 2:21t, son of Highwood,
sire Of great many in the 2:3O class,
whose dam was Electa by Electioneer,
second dam by Hambletonian; the dam
of Odell Chapman was Patrice by Baron
Dillon; second dam Patroness by Patron
3rd dam Abbess by Wedgewood; 4th
dam Columbia by Columbus; 9Th dam
by Hambletonian.
This young horse is given the highest
praise by all who have seen him on the

mile in 1854 easily, not caring to strain

- eooo throwing arm and has caught many good men.
out Sooo beat LOUIS throws several times this
ana Cobb made Criger a laughing stock several
sions.
The prime of Cobb's life still remains be reached
ne mas sprnted against the fastest throwers in the
american league and he has beaten them. In 1907
Johnny Kings stopped Tyrus but last year Cobb
stole bases king Cobb is half way before
most runners get start and the pitcher unwinds him
SELL and he is into bag before the throw from
age catcher reaches the basemans hands.
Tyrus Raymond Cobb is basebas marvel.
Lajoie is still the king of all second sackers least
SO says prominent St Louis baseball critic
Recently baseball fan of the Mound City wrote
Billy Murphy OF ST. Louise asking who the
second baseman of the men playing the bag Fol-
lowing is the interesting answer:
"Lajoie, Johnnie Evers and Jimmy Williams the
three greatest second basemen in the major leagues
Williams at his best last and La
1oie lacked few points of travelling at his top speed
at times. Willie Evers coming slowly each showed
brillancy than either during the and lacked
but small margin of reaching the highwater Of
the phenomenal performances by Napoleon Laoie, who
my of figuring. has shade
all second basemen and should be given the palm with
Johnnie Eyers close second.
THE really brilliant player Of she three is
Johnnie Evers l believe he back into the field
