question of a doubt what the
Ico-operative movement can do.

A player who is popular with the
fans Is often most unpopular with
his fellows In fact, it is an excep-
ton when star can hold the good
will of both the public and the team.
iris Speaker is one of the exceptions.
There is no more popular player
on the Boston team. and there is no
one on the team who is liked more
by management and players than this
same Speaker. iris is one of the
most unassuming of men. Sometimes,
players say, Speakers modesty is
painful
For three years now iris has been
trying to snatch Ty Cobb's laurels.
For three years he has failed. But
this year he Is trying even harder,
and right now he seems to have as
good a chance as anyone to sit in
flames throne at the close of the 1912
season.
He is hitting harder than ever, his
fielding has been one of the features
Of Boston's defensive play, and Man
ager Stahl has found in Speaker q
very able exponent of the mysteries
of inside play.
Speaker probably has the best
throwing arm in baseball. In a recent

game iris demonstrated his ability
along this line.
Delehanty was on third and Louden
on second when Willett drove a
single to center. Ordinarily Louden
could have scored standing up, but
Speaker made fast pickup and a
faster throw, and the Tiger was
forced to drop into fallaway slide
to beat the throw.
Speaker gave Davy Jones the laugh
one day last season. The Tigers were
two or three runs behind and Jones
was on second when Crawford smash

Jones was OF with the hit and he
was rounding third when Speaker
picked UP the ball. -.

side lines, called to Jones to hurry.
