SAYS JANVRIN WILL BE STAR
 NEXT SEASON

Boston, Jan. 16.-"fUnaess I m1Ass my guess hugely, Harold Janvran. utiht9, inhelder of the Red sox and second baSeman of my heam at tho present time ds going to become one of the greatest players in baseball He Is d ing year WiM see hdn listed aD e. aensa- tion.''
 This is BdlI carr4gan's crdtlcdsn of Ja.nvT5n, the foraner Boston 9c4looBboY, lat times wildly appEaaadsd and ct oth- CT times roendly abused by Che dckl6 fans, whose loyalty ds o6teutdues as ffeeting as thetr patience. In the opin- ion of the Red Soz manager, Janyrin is today one of the greatest player8 in the American league, and did the Boston club care to make e trade for him, it would have but little. dif13csIEt5,t
 ''Janvx7irls is not only a coming suea6i player, adds CaTrigan, 'FbJIt he aB one Of the gaEnest men in baseball For two seasons he was handfcappad by too much Iress-agent work at che be-. ginning of his professional career Coming at one step from the gEhool-e boy ranks into a. team where some 40- Or more professional players were fighting for a, place, the Boston 9ana were Jed to expect too much of Eliun right from the start, and for this rsa-s son the yoJngster was put in bad by those who wers anxious to see him succeed
 "Janvrfn paid the penalty of break ing in in his own home town, and only those who have had to undergo this experience can appreciate the difficulty of it. It was in 1911, during OUT trip l to the coast for spring training, that he fbrol0e in; and if you can recall it. he played on the second team and gave a fine account of 1ninlseR
 He showed up so H7aH that he was transferred to the regular outfit and the California papers, taking their cue from the stories that were being sent home by the correspondents to Boston
 began to boost like all possessed for the Scl1oolboy. .s
 t"This must have made Janvrfn ner- vous. Besides. the fact that hs had been put on the first nine gave him the idea that he simply must make good. When he came East the crowd
 was wild to see him in action, and his all too evident nervousness before the home crowd must have had it's eff feet
 Things broke badly for him in Bos- ton and then. the crowd began to get on hdz1a. But where many a player would have lost his nerve altogether Janyrdn never quit He may have lost his confidence, but the crowd did not scare him, and although the anvil cbo- rus kept after him from the goIeacherq he never showed any d1sincIination to get out there and play. It was this | dne to him, and as the season zv0-4 on, and I saw other evidences Of his nerve sand courage I was for him till the end.
 You cannot show me a player in either league who can be put at any position in the 8nfie1d and give sucsl a. fine account of himseIf. Kept at any one place he would develop into a star. but in the years that this youngster has been with the Red sox he has been jumped from post to pillar Yet he has never cornp1ained. Just Ue-
 member that he was sent in to i'll 4he shoes Of Jake Stahl, that he had to
 take Hefnfe Wagner's place at short field, bo fill the vacancy caused by dhe
 temporary loss of such a capable vet eran, and that finally, after being
 yanked in turn from each Of these
 places, he had to be sent 3n to take
 care of the sack that Steve Xerl1es had covered for two yeaEE.
 Make no mistake about ft, Jahv1-in
 is one of the coming stars Of the game. He pulls off lots Of stuff that
 the Boston fans have not avvalnened to yet It is in other cities chat he is properly valued, and 4f he cared to l make a. deal with two or three clubs that could mention might corral al
 player in exchange that would make every one sit up and take notice
