picked:
Mathewson, pitcher.
King, catcher
Chase, first base.
Evers. second base.
Wagner, ShOrtStop-
Devlin, third base.
Wheat. left field.
Speaker, center field
Cobb, right field.
Cranes pick is more complimentary
to the Texas league. for three out Of
the nine picked by him got their train
ing in the Texas league. They are
King, Wheat and Speaker. King is a
veteran and the latter two only with
one years experience in the big
leagues, yet are qualified in the eyes Of
an expert TO play on the worlds great

In Cranes estimate Bresnahan is
third in the list OF catchers. 1t seems
TO me in batting. fielding and head
work he outclasses Killing. That is for
fans to determine.
MathewsOn Leads Them All.
There is no argument as TO which
pitcher is the peer OF them all. None
can compare with Mathewson. Not only
is he the greatest pitcher, but he has
been picked as the greatest all around
ball player that the world ever saw
II a team carried as many as five
pitchers there is no doubt that Drucke,
ANOTHER Texan, would qualify. and thus
put four Texans on the team.
Crane picks Evers for second base
over LajOie, who would be the instant
choice of nine out Of ten fans He
says he sizes the second basemen up
this way: Evers, Collins, Lajoie. Doyle,
Miller, Egan, Hummel, Gardner, Hug

Evers and Collins are placed ahead OF
