once heard a very learned and much

could be nicknamed would stand
good chance for success in life. To be
nicknamed means popularity, and the
boy through self respect would have to
live up TO this sort of hero worship and
II would have tendency TO mold his
character and make a man of him.

Amos Strunk Has
Edge on Snodgrass
In Center Field

Here il a problem-who will play center
for the Athletics? II seems that Mack is
50 overblessed with riches that he has
hard choice 10 decide which Of six
men to play in the Outted. and while
he is practically safe from making
mistake, excepting in the estimate Of the
second guessers, it is hard to decide
which trio Of the SeNtet will present the
strongest front against the Giants.
For purposes OF comparison. it seems
best to Compare Strunk with SnOdGrass,
for SnOdgrass surely will play for the
Giants. and it seems now practically set
tied that Strunk will start for the Ath-
IetiCS. giving them at least the speediest
combination of Outfielders possible to
arrange.
Again the odious comparison makes it
look bad for New York. SnOdGrass is
not a good money player nor one likely
to win d championship in such test Of
courage al the worlds series
Possessing very qualification Of great

are concerned. He ran cover more ground
than any outfieIder in either major
league. go farther and catch iy balls, and
yet he is not as good as lot Of play
ers who are not rated in his class as
speed boy
Strunk l. a marvellous man covering
ground with the Quilted. and has the
advantage in fielding through this fact.
He covers well between fields. better
toward left than toward right. it seems
to- me, and he goes out better than he
comes forward. SnUdGrass is not
finished fielder. and looks awkward in
catching long flies He lets a lot get over
his head that other feeders would at
least lay hands upon. and it does not
seem to me that he plays well with
Burns on balls between fields. while he
appears to work well with Murray.
The team value figures Of the two men
show Strunk slightly ahead, but not
enough to make SnodgraSs seem out
Classed. They are 50 close together that
little luck either way would make
one seem champion and the other
busher. The Athletics must be given the
preference in center field because Mack
has three men besides StrUnk who can
play the field and can hit certain kinds
Of pitching. 50 that the team strength
may he maintained to a large extent no
matter who pitches for New York.

Murray and Murphy
Both Are Good Men

If a race horse gets beaten by bunch
of selling platers and comes next to last
in 1:I6 and comes out the next start and
askance at every one, and dopesters do
not know which performance to throw
out. That makes a study of Red Murray
of the Giants. rather difficult. Rank him
on what he did against the Athletics two
years ago and the deepest bushes would
refuse him. Figure on what he did
against Boston last fall and he ranks I'm
among the stake horses
Whether or not Murray will hit this fall
is a serious problem. l do not expect him
TO do any hitting against Bender, Plank,
or Shawkey in case Mack uses Shawkey,
Murray Is u nice hitter in his own league.
he stands up, swings solidly and hits in
business-like style. Last fall he was hit
ting desperately, and he stood I'D to fast
pitching without a flinch-and he hit
we'll.
But with the stick he is not the match
of Murphy-either the one with the ID or
the one with the F. L. Murphy is another
of those slashing. dangerous, heavy hit
tiers that Mack discovers or creates
In fielding il Is very hard to Judge the
men. Murray is, l believe, more vaIu-
able as a fielder for the series, because
in a series Of this sort IL is a sensa-
tionh catch or desperate play that saves
the day. Murray is brilliant where E.
Murphy Is steady and reliable. I be-
lieve that today Murray is the most SEN

but he makes up for it by the despera-
ton with which he tries. 1t is my firm
belief that, on the bases. he would be
better man in a worlds series than
Shafer. but that is McGraw's problem
not ours.
There is one respect In which Baker has
ii all over Shafer. and that is in block

Jack Barry Rated
As King of All

Compa rison and discussion of the short
stops Of the two championship teams
open endless argument because the men
who play those important positions are
types of players unusual in baseball
unique in their methods and in their ac-
c"mpltshments and strangely weak in
some things. yet wonderfully strong in
others. nave mad American League
players tell me that Jack Barry Is the
greatest living hall player-and then adj
NIT that he has some faults that would
damn the ordinary player for all time.
have had National League players inform
me that Fletcher is an erratiC, nervous
player. brilliant one minute. uncertain the
next, and charge that he Is yellow"
Before going any further with analysis
Of these players | want to explain some
thing about Fletcher to meet the charge
that the youth is yellow is, he
lacks courage. The charge that he lacks
the nerve and courage is due to the fact
that. in one worlds series game last year,
he went all to pieces. The charge itself is
ridiculous in the face of the facts be-
lieve that Fletcher in that case showed
himself one of the gamest and most truly
courageous players I ever have seen.
Jack Barry affords another interesting
who, mechanically, can beat him playing
ball. He is the fellow of whom ! spoke
in the first article of this series when
told of how the American League players
rate him. He * the balance wheel, the
chief cog and the best ball player on the
infield. lie only hits along about 20,
some seasons under that, but half
dozen American League players have told
me that they would rather face any man
on the Athletics in pinch than the only
regular who hits under 800 normally.
In fielding they are alike, Yet differ in
some respects. Fletcher is brilliant,
SNOWY. and often sensational, not
through choice, but through style. He
covers lot of ground in both directions
and goes deep back Of third well.
Just the other day | talked for a long
time with man who has played ami
held official positions in both leagues,
one of the wisest men in baseball. and
III his opinion a comparison of Barry and
Fletcher was ridiculous. He remarked:
IF owned the Athletics would l trade
Barry for Fletcher? That is like asking
me if / would trade Cobb for George
Browne But then, you remember,
Browne won one worlds championship.
