BY PAUL n. BRUSkE.

TOPEKA, Kas., April 6.--Accepting
as a working hypothesis the generally
admitted fact that the life OF big
league ball player in the practice OF
his profession in fast company will
average right round ten years, at least
seven and more than likely nine OF
Jimmie McAleer's ST. Louis Browns
ought now 10 be members OF the ath
lete bone-yard. They aren't there yet.
- be sure, and seem TO be still able
tc put up a lively sort of pastime,
hut there is no telling when the old
gentlemen from ST. Louis will ali go
TO pieces. When the explosion comes
1t will be one OF the all-at-once kind.
The example OF what happened to
the champion Boston club Of 1903 and
1904 is still fresh In the minds OF the
other American league managers. X
is this possibility, as confronted by
him in his own club, that is furrowing
the features OF the ur0ane Mr.. Me
Aleer and inserting the silver streaks
in his thatch OF bruno.
Every member OF the McAleer
clubs infield is a veteran. Jones has
been "Old Tom" to the American
league for Ave years and didn't break
into fast company until well along In
his career. Hobe Ferris was mem
her OF that Boston club alluded to
before, and was discarded as no long
er OF any account. at that time. The
same was the case with Pitcher d.
neen. Bill was in the game with the
old Boston Nationals away back in the
nineties. A mere piece OF fiotsam, he
was given a home by McAleer
Jimmie Williams has been an In
fielder for cons. Back in the time
" hen Hughie Jennings was a star
short stop, Williams was corking
good third-sacker. Ten years ago. II
memory serves, he was member or
National league champion club.
Williams joints creak a bit with
rheumatism these days, but he IS
quite spry when he has a chance 10
work out under hot sun.
At short stop is Bobby Wallace who
got his start with the National league
club at Cleveland In the nineties.
Jack Powell was pitcher for that
same team. Both are still far from
feeble.
And there's RUDE Waddell Anybody
remember the time Louisville had a
club in the National league? Well II
was a long. long time ago and Mr..
Waddell used to pitch for 1t. RUDE
says he's going to beat Cy Young
record for continuous service ana
there are those who believe he Will
do It. The eccentric southpaw keeps
his faculties we'll preserved by a
picking process which is all his own.
Harry Howell, another member OF
the Brown pitching stan. and Danny
Hoffman, the outflelder, were charter
membe of the American league ana
have stuck to II ever since. Barney
