WAGNER'S NICHE in HALL
OF FAME WILL BE HIGH
Big German Will Go Down in History as Greatest
Player Game Ever PrOduCed--O Stars
and Present Ones Hardly Compare.

= 20 player has a niche in the hall Of
fame higher than that possessed by John Peter
= Wagner, of the Pittsburg Nationals, better known
as "Eans' Wagner, of the Pirates. The names of the
old stars whose work is now but a memory are often
called to mind, but it's doubtful IL ever any of them
will be the figure in baseball history that Wagnerss name
will be when the mighty German 'shufaes of the mortal
coil,' Johnny King will stand In baseball lore, il he per-
sists in his present hold up policy, as a great player lost
to baseball during the age of his usefulness, because he
insisted on namin conditions that would break down an
old baseball law-the' reserve clause.
Really though when you compare this man and all the
other STARS there isn't one to equal Wagner. He goes on
day after day, turning out nits. runs and sensationaltield-
inc stunts There seems to be no stop to him. How
nearly like Wagner they can become is the motive every
nlaver has, but the great big German is par-excellence
