The ~present-day fans look upon
Honus Wagner and Larry Lajoie as
the most ancient OF ancieptG in base
ball. While these boys have been ca
vorting the diamond green for many
moons, yet they are school kids when
compared to some of the players OF
the past. For instance, look at the
baseball career OF n certain James
O'Rourke, who played the outfeld and
was at n time the star catcher OF
the New York Giants. O'Rourke's Of
fetal record began In the year 1876;
that Is. his major league record.
For seventeen seasons after that
the Orator. as O'Rourke was called,
was a star in the big show. and for
sixteen years Hon. James was a cen.
trail figure In the Connecticut State
league. He played In several posi-.
lions. and n season his son played
on the team the Orator managed. So
for thirty.three seasons James
O'Rourke reported for duty every
spring in the pink OF condition.
Then we have Uncle Adrian Arson,
who for twenty.slx seasons blossomed
out with the same old def that he
had the pennant already cinched. The
big chief made good his predictions
on many occasions. Then came Jack
Glasscock. the king of all shortstops.
