AMERICAN IS SHY
ON BASEBALL STARS

With the season nearly over and the
records for the yesr about to be COM
piled, the time Is ripe for choosing the
AII-American, AIl-Nationsl and AIl-Star
teams Of base ball
Omitting the National League, whose
players and teams we have not seen in
action this season and are therefore
unable to judge except from what We
read and hear, an effort VIII be made
to pick three representative teams from
the American League
The American League has shown no
new stars this season except in the
pitching department. IN the last month
OF 50 several men have entered the
league who may develop into tOp-notCh-
ers- Among these. Mclean, an 0utfielG-
81 with the Chicago White SOX; Ain
smith, a catcher with the Washington
club, and Joe Jackson. an OutfieldeT
wearing a Cleveland uniform They
may be showing a flash Of autumn
speed and they may keep II up next
year. 1911 alone can supply the answer
Those selected on these three teams
have all been in the league more than
one year They Outclassed any team
who came TO Bans organization this
season, probably showing that good ball
players are becoming dangerously
scarce.
What the league lacks more than any
thing is good Catchers. Oscar Stanage,
OF Detroit, could shine as the leader in
the baCkstOp department But StanaEe
allows himself to take on weight as
SOOT as the weather gets warm He
loses all semblance of speed and gets
into rut that hides his true class He
caught great ball this spring and Jen-
uinsS worked him regularly, but later
OF he became too heavy to be regarded
as the regular backstop worker
Billy Sullivan, the best backSto0 in
the American League, was out Of the
lineup this season on account Of i'll
ness. So was Mig Clarke, Of the
Maps counting out another corking
good man.
