Zoe Tinker of the Chicago Cubs is
rated as second only to Hans Wagner
at the shortstop game. AS joe is
young and Wagner is going along in
years and threatening to quit at the
expiration or beginning of every sea
son, it is pretty safe to say that 1t
won't be long before Tinker will be
the greatest playing shortstop. His
three-bagger last year in the deciding
game with the Giants practically won
the pennant for the Cubs. Tinker
probably makes more long hits than
any man on the team, and the best
part of them is that they always come
at the right time. Tinker is always
on the job, and one of the most de-
pendable men on the team. When he
isn't playing baseball Joe is generally
making a noise like an actor, anc
will probably be on the stage again

Ed Delehanty.

Clark Griffith, manager of the Gin

runs the other day. Griff recalled the
afternoon in Chicago, 13 years ago,
when Ed Delehanty made four cir

the Windy City team then. but didn't
pitch that game. Adonis Bill Terry
did the boxwork, and Del. besides
making four four-baggers, got single.
Still the Phillies couldn't win that

was 8 to Z in our favor. Bill Bradley
