an unusual strain so cut out the
splitter"
JOHNNY EYERS, CAPTAIN or
THE BOSTON BRAVES,
Folks who say Honus Wagner is
slowing up are talking through their
hats. I've seen him play for a good
many years and right now he is at the
top Of his game think his work is
by far the most remarkable thing in
the history Of baseball. Honus
must be 45 in spite Of his printed age
and today he is making plays that
no one else could get away with,
"Over in Boston recently he beat
us by two remarkable stops and the
next day he handled II chances with
out an error. He is still up there
hitting 300 Instead of slowing up
can take oath that he is surer and
faster this year than he has been for
three or four seasons.
Il asked Honus when he intended
to quit Whenever they'll let me- he
answered But I'll bet II will take an
army corps to drive him away from
short or out Of the game And that's
the answer to his wonderful career "

TWO Bases FOR

President Johnson, Suggests

would give the batter two bases
whenever he is hit on the head by a
pitched ball instead Of one base, as
ID present. in order to defer pitchers
from intimidating the batsmen.
In a statement he disagrees with
the suggestion recently made by
President Ebbets, Of the Brooklyn
National League club. that batsman
be given his base any time the
pitcher tries. in the opinion Of the
nmpire, 70 hit the batter on the head.
He thinks the Ebbets plan would
only add TO the troubles Of the um-
plre and would lead TO more wrang-
Ing.
Il am 10th to believe" Mr. John
son said. that any player in the
game would deliberately injure an
other, but there seems to be a grow
ing belief that pitchers are resorting
to throwing balls at a players head
In order to intimidate him or drive
him away from the plate. According
70 the reports, that belief was large
" responsible for some OF the latest
outbreaks on the field.
TN that case II may be well to
provide some plan 70 minimize the
Of such methods being em-
Dloyed by pitchers in the future. How
would it do 10 infict double penalty
on the pitcher who hits a batsman on
the neck or head by giving the bat

1911. and in August of that year was
sold TO Cleveland He has been with
the lnjuns ever since and his ability
has gradually increased until now he
ranks among the best of the backstops
of the Johnson circuit. He handles
the pitchers like a seasoned veteran
throws to the bases with remarkable
speed and accuracy and is a bear al
