Team That Has Been Giving Giants
Much Worry for Past Sixty Days
VIII Average % Years Age-AH
Save One American Born.

| VINO are causing the Giants Such a
lot of worry right now are only
| youngsters and it'll take a good many
summers to eliminate them by the
grey hairs route. If you don't believe
| it take 4 glance at the statistics.
The most aged is Freddie Mitchell
30, and he confines himself to warm
ing un and training the young
pitchers. The average age of the
Braves is a trifle over 20. The only
men with more than 80 years to their
discredit are besides Mitchell, Otto
Hess, not quite "a, and Johnny Evers,
just passed 81.
They range down to Baby Paul
Strand, who won't be eligible to vote
until after December 10, 1915.
Another striking thing, they're an
all American born team, with the ex-
ception of Mr.. Hess, who was so I'M
fortunate as to come into the world
in Berne, Switzerland. The rest are
candidates for the white house at
least as far as birth goes.
