il is no wonder that yachts and

Judging from the number of times the

ROGER BREsNAHAN.

admire one Of these men still are OF |
the opinion that he is the leader of the |
lot. Wagner, Cobb. Speaker Collins
and Jackson have probably the strong
est right to the reputation owing to
their ability to hit, field and run bases.
Roger Bresnahan of the Chicago
Cubs. who is regarded as one of the
smartest ball players in the National
league, paid Hans Wagner big com
pliment when he declared that the
Pittsburgh shortstop is the greatest
ball player the game has ever had and
ever will have. Bresnahan does not
think baseball ever had n man of Wag-
ner's ability and does not think there
will ever be a player who will play
the game as he has played it for seven
teen years. The Cub backstop is so
strong in his belief that he declared
he would not give Wagner for five

in all truthfulness that l have never
seen him do the wrong thing. That
may be putting it rather strong. but 1t
is the truth. l have talked with men
who have been with him for years. and
they have told me the same. Tommy
Leach was on the Louisville club with
Wagner, and also at Pittsburgh, and
he will confirm what | say. Fred
Clarke and Gibson will say the same.
IF you will notice Wagner you will
see that he makes all his plays instant

He has all his plays figured out before
they are made, and he makes all bis
throws to the right place and at the
right time and does not throw at al
