Connie Mack Says 4 Greater
Twirlers Are Johnson, Walsh,
Mathewson and Russell Ford

worlds champions classes Walsh as
the greatest spitballer of the game,
and ranks Christie Mathewson next
to him, although he says the
Giants star boxman has always
had a grand team behind him, and
this has had much to do with his
success.
Il consider Russell Ford a Won
der adds Mack.
Give him an infield that can
back him up, and it would be al
most impossible to beat him.
Bender is the greatest short Sc
ries man in the world. He has not
the physical strength to continue
such marvellous work. but rest him
up and let him go into a short seS
ries and his control of the ball Is
almost uncanny."
OF the great pitchers of former
days, Mack says that Rube Waddell
was greater than Rusie, and, in
fact, the greatest that the game
has ever produced when he was in
his prime He points to his 1904
record, when he famed 343 men in
III innings, as proof of the asser-
ton, and says this has never been
duplicated and probably never will.
