PITCHERS SEEM
TO LAST LONGER
Major League Records Show Many
Old Timers in Ranks

OF the players now in the big league
baseball arena more veterans are to
he round among the pitchers than in
any other position. The pitcher works
good deal harder than the occupant
OF any other position. but he doesn't
play as often, and besides there are
more of them. 1t isn't surprising that
there are more veteran pitchers than
any thing else, considering that each
club carries at least half "A dozen
litchers.
II was pitcher Cy Young, who
became a veteran of veterans. where
rs such Oldtimers as Powell. Ma
thewson, Mullin and Plank are still

Moore. Petty. Hughes and White in
the spring chicken class. Behind the
lat no such list of veterans can he
found doing duty. though King Bres
nahan and Doom have been at it a
good While. The backstop position has
produced several veterans who were
'eterans indeed. such as Mcclure,
iarell, Criger sullivan ana, in the
Old days, Flint. However trying the
position may be. these men stood up
under II much longer than the gcner-
al run of players.
With Harry Davis, Tenney and
Chance out of it, there are no real
veterans playing first base Look att

players-Doyle, Ycrkes, Rath and

At short, the veterans are more
prominent-Helnc and Honus Wag- |

Bridwell Mcmillan and Doolan are |
well seasoned. Barry and Bush are

SER Chapman and Weaver represent
the younger element This position
runs more to long service than the
others.
Turner is a player of long service at
third. albeit most of his time has been
put at short, and Byrne. Devlin and
