SIX STAR
BALL TEAMS
LOOK GOOD
Players Are Selected Accord
ing to the Month Of
Their Birth

PICKING star teams being a favOrlte
occupation of the scribes and the fans
during off season, it is strange that no
one has thus far tried to find out what
Dame Natures selections for an All
American outfit are. The six players
voted by the experts the most valua
BILE to their teams were born in a diff
ferent month. Iris Speaker reaching
this sphere in April, Jake Daubert in
May. Larry Doyle in July, Frank
Schultz in September, Walter Johnson
in November and Ty Cobb in Decem-
ber In these months other star ath-
.etes were born-plenty, as matter
of fact, to equip six teams.
The Johnson club, made up of men
whose birthdays are in the month
given over to elections and turkeys,
would have the choice of three lead
ers, either George Stallings, Clark
Griffith or George Stovall Johnson
would have able assistants in the
pitching stan in the persons of Bill
Steen, Marty O'Toole and Joe Bush
and two OF the best pinch hitters in
the world in Jack Delivelt and Ham
Hyatt, who would form two-thirds Of
its oltfeld.
HerzOg Born in July.
The Doyles, born in July, also could
make a choice of managers Joe Tin
ker, Charley Herzog and Johnny Evers
having been born during that month.
This team would have on it Joe jack
son to hit. Bob Bescher to run bases,
Steve O'Nelll, Ivy Wingo, Chief
Meyers and George Gibson to flag
baserunners and a pair Of southpaw
pitchers in Leverenz and Hamilton TO
make life miserable for men who hit
from the off side of the plate.
The Speakers, bornin April, would
be commanded either by John McGraw
or Hugh Jennings. They would have
a great pitching staff in Marquard
Hendrix, Ford, Scott and Gregg and a
sturdy outfield in Speaker, Lewis and
Crawford.
The Dauberts, born in May, would
be without a leader. but either Jake
or Eddie Collins could jump in and
command with credit Their twirlers
would be of class. Walsh. Cheney
Adams, McQuillan, Rixey and Bender
composing a sextet that would be as
famous as Florodoras. Three-fourth'
Of the infield. Daubert, Collins an6
Gardner, could hardly be improved
on.
Chance is the Manager.
The Schultes, born in September
rr5habiy would be stronger at the ba
ne Doyles, Speakers, Johnson
1,auberts. such men as Luderus
lajoie. Konetchy. Mclnnis and Clar
enco Walker qualifying as members
Frank Chance would lead this team
which should have two consistent
winners in Bert Humphries and A
Domaree.
The Cobbs, born in December, woul'
be directed by Connie Mack and the
would have pretty fair pitching
staff in Reulbach Willie Mitchell
Bob Shawkey and Fred Faulkenberg
Tvrus' associates in the suburb
would be Mike Mitchelly and Joe Bir
mingham.
