Baseball Is Faster, Better
Than Ever, Griffith Claims
Maintains However, That Many Stars OF Former Years
Outrank the Brightest Satellites in the Game at
Present; Calls Comiskey Greatest First
Baseman in History Of Diamond.
Nv FRANC G. lIENKE.

Boston Red SOx, were the best Nc
Graw was fOXier than Collins and
better hitter, but Collins was the best
fielder He was the most graceful
fielding third baseman the game ever
has seen. And this gives him the
edge.
the VashingtOns, and Baker of the
Athletics are the only third basemen
who can be compared to these Two
Baker is a poor fielder; he is aWk-
ward But he is such a wonderful
batter that it lifts him up to the top
notch Foster is a foxy fielder and
foxy batter-a great all around man.
Gardner is a wonder, but not quite IN
Fosters class.
Speaker Is Remarkable OutfieIder.
Iris Speaker is the most remark
able Outfielder that ever lived, re-
marks Griffith, after according places
than a score of the past and present
gardening stars. HE is the best man
on fly balls that I ever have seen.
His throws are deadly. Batters hit
to the fence and gets them-gets
drives that other men would have to
let go for three base hits and home
runs.
"Of course, It is hard to Judge be-
tween Speaker and Cobb as to which
is the better man. Cobb is a better
base runner and a better batter, but
Speaker stands out as a fielder.
Jackson of Cleveland is a wonder
full thrOwer and batter, but he does
not shine as a base runner Milan
of Washington, is a better ball player
than Jackson. He is a splendid fielder,
splendid base runner and cOnsis-
tent 300 hitter. He is continually
using his head.
Comparing these stars with Bill
LANCE of the old generation, shows
that the old generation suffers. Cobb
and Speaker are Lange's superiOrs,
and I think Milan is almost Lange's
equal. Among the other great out
fielding stars of the past and pres
ent were Willie Keller, Fred Clark,
Fielder Jones, Jesse Burkett, Elmer
Flick, Hugh Duffy, Mike Donlin
Jimmy McAleer, FOgarty and DicI1y
Buck Ewing Is Best Ever.
In the catching line the stars OF
the present day are not as good as
those of the other days. Buck Ewing
never has known an equal as a
catcher I call him the best ball
player the world ever has known. The
only man who ever approached him
was Mike Kelly, Of the old Chicago
White SOX- Kelly too, was a wonder,
but not quite equal to Ewing
Walter Johnson is the greatest
pitcher Of today, but wonderful as he
were wonders, too ClarksOn and
keefe were the best in the period that
ended in 1898. Then came three Won

ANA~AlO4s anu Llc1l came maine
ClarksOn, Keefe and Nichols were not
quite as good as A1atty and Johnson
are today, but Young and Rusie. in
their prime were right along with
them.
In making these comparisons. In
telling who I think were the greatest
men that ever played the different
positions on the diamond I am only
giving my own opinion Some may
differ with me but these conclusions
are drawn after watching closely the
thousands who have come and gone
since entered the big league games"

ASHINGTON BOICE WINS GAME OF BASEBALL
This Beats Mediation-Let
'em Fight It Out July 4
BY HUGH 8. FULLERTON

The troubles of the United
States and Mexico will be settled
on July 4, the birthday of the
United tates- and the fiesta day
of Mexico.
Instead of submitting the con-
tentions of Mexico and tho
United States to A.-B.-C. inter-
mediation, or sending out armies
to slay each other. 1t Is PROPOSED
to leave the question to two ply
steal representatives of the races
and let them settle IL. After all,
fists are the A, b. C's of arbitra-
ton.
Senior Don Jose La Barra, bet
ter known perhaps as Joe Rivers,
is to represent Mexico and Willie
Richie will endeavor to make
Joe see stars and stripes, sky
rockets and few other things.
The proposition to submit the
entire question of Mexico to
Rivers and Richie probably
comes nearer the popular idea OF
a square deal than either of the
other plans. They are typicaliy
representative of their races.
Rivers is the Pancho villa of the
prize ring, possessed of all the
fighting qualities and the cur
ming of Huerta, without his hab-
its. and Richie. 20 a marked de-
giee, has the stubborn insistence
upon his rights that characterizes
the administration, with the
punch and the power to back
up his stand. And he uses It only
when it becomes necessary for
him to do it.
Richie has proved his right to
represent America physically and
mentally. If 1t isn't settled be-
for July 4 let them fight 1t out
with fists.
