Fielding? Barry's fielding is above

Gould Catch, Play First Base, Get Into

Who are, or were, the three great

Connie Mack, manager of the Ath.

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 Pitts

Manager Mack favors Kelly for all
the honors, but admits that Wagner
and Cobb give the former star hard
race for the title. Connie was asked
point blank: "Who was the greatest
player in the world?" mike Kelly"
came the prompt reply from the at
tenuated manager.
I've seen them come and I've seen
them go in my baseball service and
the three 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 outfield-
yes, and pitch in pinch and do every.
thing in the individual roles as well as
the stars. He knew more baseball
than any man who lived, and he had
more brains than any other player.
Talk about base stealers! Why, you

Whenever a baseball student out

There aren't many good shortstops.
Classy shortstops are probably the
scarcest animals in the world. But
those that are good are very, very
good, like the little girl with the curl

AS we said, the student comes to a

Tinker is one of our best little short

Figures don't always tell whole

the figures are all in Tinker's favor.

comes to bat, which means that he
