wAeNER's FINE RECORD.
Has Never Had Lasting Batting
Slump in Thirteen Years.

Some remarkable statistics are re-
vea1ed by q diagnosis of the record OF
Hans Wagner. who has been playing
major league ball since 1897. The rec
ord shows that il thirteen years the
Flying Dutchman has taken part in
1,743 games. He has scored 1858 runs
and stolen 56S bases. He has played
an average of 1874 games each season.
Had he played in all the games the
first year he Joined the Louisville club
his average would have been more than
100 runs each season, but in 1897 he
was not obtained from the Paterson
IN. j. club until the campaign was
well under way, and took part in only
81 games
sFFonus has never had a lasting slump
in his hitting in all the years of his
career. There have been times each
season when his batting eye was dim
med but 1t was only temporarily, and
he always came back and hit the ball
SO much harder after the slump was
over.
His consistency as sticker is shown
by the fact that in thirteen years he
has averaged virtually $50 bingles per
season. His best years were in 1900
and 1908, in each Of which he had POI
safeties- With the exception of the
first year in fast company he has
never made less than ITO hits g. year

WATCH THESE TRoTTERs.
Uhlan, Harvester and Penlsa Maid Are
Picked to Set the Pace.

Outside of the large crop OF green
trotters and PAGERS that will be out this

Tsaritza Doesn't Smoke.
