and he seldom Goes wrong in matters
of judgment. He is wonderful field
er; In fact, the king of second base
men, in my opinion. While not on
Cobb's level as a batsman. he is a
dangerous one. because he also has
plenty of nerve and good baseball
sense
Wagner's great all around progress is
too well known to need great deal of
comment. He is a terror to pitchers
because OF his marvellous batting eye
He apparently is able to see the seam
on the ball all the way up to the plate,
and pitchers fool him so seldom that
they hardly think 1t worth while to
try. Wagner Is another of the clean
up" batters and is cs inestimable value
to his team. He Is a baseball genius,
one whose instinct guides him Alright
in the innumerable questions that come
up daily In a game and nat must be
answered without hesitancy.
Wagner is among the best of the
games shortstops, past and present.
and despite his apparent awkwardness,
gets over vast amount of ground.
Add to these things his effectiveness
az q baserunner and run getter, and
you have In him the almost perfect
player.

Frenchman has fallen off In his batting

sent corn to twenty eight county SUI
perintendents for corn club work, and
there are yet two counties to be sup

the forty-five counties engaged in this
work, and 5000 students taking part
Illinois had about 1,100 students, and
