mike KELLY KING
OF ALL, SAYS MACK
/" Connie Admits, However,,
That Cobb and Wagner
Rank Close
HAS INVENTE MANY
OF THE STARTLING PLAYS

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 2s.-who
are or were the three greatest play
ers is the world?
Connie" Mack. manager of the
Athletics, and attributed one of the
shrewdest and most observing Of all
baseball students, picks King" Kelly
to represent the silent majority, "Ty''
Cobb of the Detroit Tigers for the
American League, and Honus Wagner
Of the Pittsburg Pirates for the Ma
tional.
Manager Mack favors Kelly for all
the honors, but admits that Wagner
and Cobb give the former star a hard
race for the title. Connie was asked
point blank: "Who is the greatest
player in the world?" Mike" Kelly,
came the prompt reply from the at
tenuated manager.
FavOrs ~MikeS Kelly.
i've seen them come and I've seen
them go in my baseball service, and
the greatest OF all are Mike Kelly,
'Ty' Cobb and Hans Wagner And OF
these three Mike was the great
est.
Kelly knew everything. He could
catch, play first. get into the outield
yes. and pitch In a pinch-and do
everything In the individual roles as
we'll as the stars. He knew more base
ball than any man who lived, and he
had more brains than any player.
Talk about base-stealers! Why, you
could put the ball IN front of Kelly by
20 or 30 feet, but he would make the
bag with his peculiar twisting style.
The basemen could not touch him,
and when he Strengthened up there
was Mike perched on the base.
Trick plays we're his specially,
and he was always pulling something
that puzzled even the umpires, and
they had to allow the play to go Kel-
ley's way because they did not know
what else to do
InVents Many Plays.
plays that are pulled off today as
wonderful we're invented by Nike
and used by him. He was a slow
runner. and still a better base stealer
never lived. His head was filed with
brains, and he knew how to use
them.
"Of the present-day players. wag-
ner and Cobb excel in their two
leagues. Wagner is general all
around man, a strong hitter, though
down little now. Cobb is a star
and can play almost any position in
the in or out field. Wagner can do the
same.
cobb i4 quick in thinking and
pulls OF b. Amy plays. The German
Dutchman, Wagner, looks slow and
ponderous, but let me tell you that
Honus possesses plenty Of brains and
uses them, while his natural ability
stands in stead both In the field and
at the bat.
"Of the three players. take Kel-
ley FIRST, and the partisan of eithei
league can pick either Cobb OF Wag
ner and have great player In each.
