Hans WAGNER
BEST THROWER
JACK O'coNNoR, MANAGER OF
ST. LOUIS BROWNS, coNcED-
Es THIS HONOR TO GREAT
PIRATE

Ask the average fan whom he con-
sders the star throwers In the two big
leagues and his answer will be about
as follows:
"Why, Cobb. Speaker, Hooper. Lewis
and Birmingham In the American
league. and Mitchell, Beck, Wilson,
Becker. Leach and Bescher in the Ma
tional league.
Each and every one OF the saver
age" fan will not mention Hans Wag-
ner, the Pirate shortstop, because Ho-
nus is an infielder and doesn't get the
opportunities to make the lengthy
throws. Jack O'Connor, the manager
of the st. Louis Browns, is not an ex-
perlenccd fan, however. Jack is an ex-
player. Therefore. Manager Jack de-
clares that Wagner is and has been
since he broke into the National league
the premier thrower of both leagues.
You think I'm taking a long chance
when / say is the greatest thrower,
instead of combining myself to was, /
suppose" said Jack, in backing up his
statement, but | don't take one mite
of a chance, because have played ball
with Wagner and know that the big
fellow hasn't gone back n bit, even If
l haven't seen him play much in the
past five years.
Back in the good old days, when /
was more or less a youngster and was
catching for the Pittsburg club, Wag-
ner played the outfield. 1t is so long
ago since Honus played the outfield
now that / guess half the big league
fans don't remember him as anything
but the most wonderful ground COW
ering shortstop they ever saw, but
remember him as one of the slickest
outfelders / ever saw i'm action.
"Honus used to play right field for
us in the days when Ely was the reg
ular shortstop, and i'm those days Ely
was close approach to what Wag
ner became later in the short field
With Beaumont, a youngster then, In
centerfield and Fred Clarke, also a
youngster,4 i'm left field, the mighty
Hans I'm right, we had a slick outfield,
and don't you forget that tip Every
| one OF lnoSt NUS COulu inIOW, anu
Wagner could trim the lot of them
for distance and accuracy. The closest
approach to the equal of the Pirate
outfield of years ago I'm throwing pow
er is the outfield John l. Taylor has
got right now, Speaker, Lewis and
Hooper
Besides losing one of the greatest
throwers the game ever saw, baseball
/ lost man destined to become the
greatest outfielder i'm the business
when Wagner quit the garden to be-
come the star shortstop of the coun-
try. When "A man was racing home,
| trying to beat one OF Wagners throws
from right field, l never looked at
Wagner; | looked at the runner and
doped his slide. Then i just held out
my hands and glanced toward Wagner.
That momentary glance, would show
me that ball bouncing straight and
true five feet from the rubber into my
hands. His throw always bounced
about waist high which made II easy
to get slider They can talk about
their Cobbs and Speakers, but give me
Wagner for throwing, now or any
time during the past eight or ten
years"

It seems that the Federal author
tiles have awakened just a tiny Bit,
and have remembered of their
promising Ben Humphreys to give
Greenwood a Federal Building and
PostoiLce.
In fact they went SO far as to pur-
chase a piece Of property In the
heart of the business section of the
city, and hurried the removal of ali
houses on the lots bought up. But,
since then, nothing but a good size
patch of weeds has graced the
pretty site on Howard street.
However, it was encouraging last
week to see a letter from the author
tiles which evidenced the fact thai
they were really in earnest about
the matter. They were inquirlng
as to drainage and sewerage cob
n~ections, and wrote for permission
to connect with the clty's system
Mayor Montjoy and the members 0
the Greenwood Light and Waite
Commission promptly assured then
of proper connections, and the lette
was hurried back to Washington.
Very likely the plans and speclt
cations will be advertised and til

0 that it will be only a few month

and that Howard street will get
