(By Sam Crane, New York Journal)
New York, n. Y, Aug. 20.-During the
recent series between the Giants and
Cubs at the Polo grounds. two of the
best shortstops now playing ball-Brid-
well and Tinker-faced one another in
their respective positions, and it was a
real Treat to see them perform They
are both classy and in that important
series they showed to their true form
They both seemed TO appreciate the
wonderful ability Of each other and
in every game Of the four played there
was a battle royal of shortstops
From every angle of play the only fair
decision would be to give a draw be-
tween them.
Since the passing of Hans Wagner,
the mainstay of the Pirates, BridweII
and Tinker are easily the premier short
stops Of the country
To venture 20 say that the great Wag-
ner is passing or going back, will be
considered a sacrilege, no doubt not
alone in Pittsburg but throughout the
league circuit, but the fact remains that
the awkward Dutchman is not coming"
even if many think he is not falling off.
But Wagner's record, both in fielding
and batting this season is so far behind
his remarkable showing in previous
years as a Pirate, that there must be a
reason for it, and the most notable con-
clusion to arrive at is that age is tell
ing on the old veteran.
Youth must prevail in Athletics.
There is no getting around that, and
there have been more object lessons this
year in baseball to prove it than in any
previous season that remember. Wag-
ner's tumble from form to come so sud
denly that it startled fandom. He still

as veterans always do, when they are
on the decline, but that his remarkable
ability is on the wane, Is plain to every
body who has carefully studied his sea-
sons work of 1910

cause they are heIdy. They both are

combination is sure TO result In star
players, but without il star bah players

Tinker has the reputation among ball
players of being the brains Of the Cubs,
but with the Peerless Leader, Frank
Chance, in charge of them, that would
seem 10 be a rather far fetched conclu-
sion. But Joe Tinker knows as much
baseball as Chance or any player in the
country for that matter and so, too,
does AL BridweH The latter, however,
IS much less demonstrative than his Cub
rival, and on that account fails to get
the full appreciation that is his due.
There was never a more graceful
player than Bridwen. His every move
is a dream, and he makes plays so
easily that his most difficult ones are
made to appear ridiculously simple,
where some shOrtstops would be break
ing their necks in going after puzzling
hits. Bridwel gathers them in without
apparent effort
Tinker, TOO, has the same knack, but
is hardly up to Bridwell for artistic
grace.
Neither Tinker nor BridwelI ATE heavy
5atters, but they are timely hitters. But
Tinker can surely wallop Christy Math-
ewson's best offerings and it is for this
reason that the Cubs have won so many
games from the Giants. In the series
Just closed between the Giants and Cubs,
Tinker got three singles off Matty in
one game and BridweIl came to the front
in the last game OF the series with
triple when the bases were T:sll.
And so that series showed that there
is little to choose between the two star
shortstops, s cit viii be just to call it

and Bodies pitched for the two clubs
and both got away with their games,
although the Dons got TO Bodies in the
sixth and tied up the score which Ell
Paso had amassed in the early innings
Douglas added two more in the seventh
and the game was theirs Pitts used
the slow curve delivery that fooled the
FL Paso club and the players could not
connect when runs were needed. FL
Paso scored in the first, again in the
third and a third in the fifth. Douglas
scored one in the second and two in the
sixth and two in the seventh fixing the
final score in that inning.
Attendance Large.
1t was benefit day for the Douglas

afternoon TO allow the merchants TO
attend the exhibition game. Harper
was the star of the game behind the bat.
He caught good game, threw to sec
