~ licking star teams being a
favorite occupation OF the
scribes and the fans during
the on season, 1t Is strange that no
one has thus far tried TO find out
what Dame Natures selections for an
@H-American outfit are. The Old
Lady saw TO II that the six players
voted by the experts the most val
liable TO their teams and rewarded
Tor their skill with Chalmers cars
each should have been born In a diff
ferent month Iris Speaker reaching
this sphere in A pril, Jake Daubert in
May Larry Doyle In July, Frank
Schultz in September, Walter John
son In November and Ty Cobb in De-
cember. In these months other star
atnietes were born, plenty. as a mat
ter 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 STAFF in the persons of Bill
6teen, Marty O'Toole and Joe Bush
and two of the best pinch hitters in
the world in Jack Lelivelt and Ham
Hyatt, who would form two-t thirds
Of its outfield.
HE Doyles, born in July, also could
make choice of managers. Joe
Tinker Charley Herzog and Johnny
hyers having been born during that
month. This team would have on il
Joe Jackson to hit, Bob Bescher to
run bases. Steve O'Neill. Ivy Wingo,
Chief Meyers and George Gibson
To nag base runners 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. born in April, would
be commanded either by John Nc
Graw or Hugh Jennings They would
have a great pitching stan in Mar
guard, Hendrix, Ford. Scott and
Gregg and a sturdy outfeld in Speak
er. 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, McQuilleh, Rixey and
Bender composing a sextet that
would be as famous as "t'lorodora's."
Three fourths Of the infield-Daubert,
Collins and Gardner-could hardly be
improved on.
The Schultes, born in September,
probably would be stronger at the bat
than the Doyles, Speakers. Johnsous |
or Dauberts, such men as Luderus. |
La1oie, konetchy. Mclnnis and Clar- |
ence Walker qualifying as members |
Frank Chance would lead this team |
sfu4Haa vaN
winners in Bert HUMPHREYS and AL |
Demaree.
THE Cobbs. born in December,
would be directed by Connie /
Mack and they would have a pretty
fair pitching stan in Reulbach. Willie |
Mitchell, Bob Shawkev and Fred Fail
kenberg. Tyrus associates in the
suburbs would be Mike Mitchell and
Joe Birmingham
