It may be difacult for the present
day fans to visualize a trio better
than Speaker. Hooper and Lewis, the

opinion that there were outhelds in
the past able to throw dust IN the eyes
of the greatest of today

with discrimination. The i've as he
ranks them were the trios or Balti-
more in 1894, Of Brooklyn m 1900, OF
Boston in 1887, of the Red sox in
1912 and Detroit "a 1903.

Hooper been lauded to the skies, but

Keller was the cleverest man in
baseball. In 1884. with baltimore. he
batted 1867 and in 1900 he batted 1866
for Brooklyn. This brings the supe-
riority of either of THESE outfelds
down to four men. BroaIe and Kee-

was equally good with both teams.
BaEing Keller, Walter Brodie was
the most uncanny Judge Of a hy ball

to Sheckard's 305. but Sheckard off
set the difference by working pitch

Had Davy Jones been a 800 hitter
Detroits 1900 outfield would have
ranked with those or Baltimore anC

of Cobb and the smuggling of San

hitter prevented the trio from becom
