Poor old Honus Wagner, who was
doped to quit playing our national
pastime about three years ago, is
now setting himself to gather in Pon
Anson's laurels in the swattinC line.
And he has an excellent chance. In
deed, the betting favors the Flying
Dutchman." And here's why.
In twenty-five years old Pop"

winter as vaudeville artist (get
that "artist"'), managed to total 3,047
safe bingIcs. Now, when you hao-
pen to think it over, BOAT bingles is
some total in the big show. But old
honus Wagner, veteran shortstop in
the National League, is we'll on his
way to pass this average and he is
lnw in his seventeenth season as a
star of the big leagues.
Has Honus chance to beat Anson's 8
record? He most certainly has. Indeed
in the cities OF the National League
they are offering bets tnat he Will pass
the mark b. the Fourth Of July.
Old Honus broke INTO the game in
Patterson. n. J. Yes. il Is well know
that Paterson, y. J.. is poor place
for any one to break into anything but

his career there. He was an outhelder
