Men like Christy MathewsOn, HOnus
Wagner, Ed Walsh, Nap Rucker and
Walter Johnson are acknowledged
great in their calling because they
have been doing the same wonderful
grade Of work over a period OF years.
The best year that any one Of them
ever had, taken by itself, might not
have given them lasting fame. An un-
usual year for a yOungster IN baseball
establishes him in the judgment Of
the fans not as great, but as promis-
ing" There is big difference
And yet in baseball a man does not
necessarily have to be a winner to
gain his fame, as is largely the case
in football Christy MatheWsOn took
most Of the glory of the last worlds
series though he did not win a game.
Nap Rucker and Walter Johnson es-
tablished their fame with poor clubs.
In football, glory rides, as a rule,
q goal from the field. Many a man
does work in the massed attack or
defence which contributes just as
much toward his teams victory as the
play which stands out more clearly
but he is forgotten in the clamOr over
the one spectacular feature.
SnOdgrass got the blame for losing
the worlds series because his mUff
happened to be the error that was
most apparent; but Snodgrass played
the ball, and did his best, while Fred
Ierkle's mere inertness on a much
easier chance was more damaging. and
yet escaped notice. Going back be-
gond that, Fletcher, SnOd grass and
even Jack Murray were mingled in

dated the downfall of the Giants; but
