YOUNG STARS SHY IN MAJORS.
This Season Shows But One or Two
Phenoms Among Youths Who Have
Jumped Into Fast Company.

The present baseball season has been
a big failure in the major leagues in
one .respect-the developing of new
stars among the Youngsters who have
graduated into the big school Save
for couple of pitchers. notably Rus
sell Ford of the New York Yankees
this seasons influx of new players
amounts to but very little and ney-
er before in the history of big league
baseball was juvenile so warmly
welcomed into the main arena. Ford is
a thorough live one. He has the build
and stuff and should continue to shine
Tor many summers to come. Ford 8
notch is 2i6, and he's high for all the
twirlers in the American league save
Coombs and Bender, who won the flag
of the Eastern league. Jersey City is
his old team, and in 1909 he won IS
out of his 26 games for that outfit.
which landed last in the scramble.
King Cole OF the Chicago Cubs is the
National leagues premier twirler, and
there's little, if anything, to choose
from between this lanky lad and the
we'll put together New Yorker. Cole
has captured II of his 81 games for
Chicago. Cole, though got in action
late in the 1909 race SO for strictly
one year olders Ford stands supreme.
1t was in ST Louis where Chance gave
Cole his baptismal. King certainly

down with nary a tally. One of his
1909 feats on the same orchard was
seven inning no-hit triumph.
Clever workmen like Wheat, Brook
1yns brilliant left fielder; Snodgrass
of the Giants, who since being trans
ferred from an extra catcher into
regular fly chaser has put up a. sensa-
tional all around game, and who
stands a good chance of beating Ty
Cobb, Iris Speaker Napoleon Lajoie
and the other burly bruisers out in the
race for the benzine buggy; Drucke. J.
McGraW'S clever young right-hander,
from Joe Gardner's Dallas team; Col
Inns and Gardner, those two cracks
Magnate Taylor got from Vermont
university last fall, and Southpaw
Vaughn, that stylish Yankee, were all
in for a While in 1909 hence are not
to Ford, with Cole, Wheat, Gardner
and those kind scratched by virtue of
entering the big league in the 1909
wind-up, comes Jake Daubert, the
Superbas' good looking first baseman.
He's a graduate of the Memphis
(Southern association) team. Daubert
batted .314 in the southland. He made
good from the drop of the hat for Bill
Dahlen. and while he has suffered "a
fairish slump in his binglins, is still
doing PA, and that's good enough for
a juvenile who has such a bright flu
ttire before him. Daubert is a, left
handed thrower, and that aids him in
looking nifty on the job.
Wheat and Daubert are not the only
live recruits on the Brooklyn team.
