DARING WORKMEN.
Awning Removers Take Greater Risks
Than Do Steepleiacks.

Awning Removers Take Great Risks
Than Do Steepleiacks.
Steeplejacks have long enjoyed a rep
utation for daring, but it is a question
whether they come In the same class
of riskers as the awning removers,
who take down the "s~unshades' from
the fronts of houses all over the city.
These removers do not need or use the
rope and block and fall accessories of
the steeple men. Yet they climb to
places and do their work in what
seems to be an impossible manner.
Starting at the street level, two or
three awning removers will strip the
entire front of a fiat house and never
60 indoors. They are as agile as aero
bats. They reach up to a window sill
and then raise themselves to the win
dow ledge. Finishing the window
while standing on this ledge, they seize
the top stone of the window, pull them
selves up to it and from there reach
again to the window ledge above so as
to strip another window. Through the
belt they wear runs q line, and with
this they lower the awnings as they
take them down.
How they can do their work with SO
little to hang on to is more remarkable
than the tasks performed by the struc-
tural ironworkers. The ~ironworker, if
he slips, has something at hand in the
way Of a beam around which he has a
chance to lock his arms. The awning
remover, when he slips, falls outward
from the ledge and has nothing to
clutch. Three awning removers on one
occasion stripped a seven story fiat of
seventy-ive windows in the Bronx in
the remarkable time of three hours, all
from the outside.-New York Sun.

rERE is a puzzle. II the average
RI value of a major league ball
= - player in offensive play is seven.
and If the pitchers and catchers have
an average worth of less than five
what ought the offensive value OF
third baseman be II his value in de-
IenslVe play is Only five per cent of
the team?
One would think that to hold a job
a third baseman ought to be a hard
hitter, clever base runner, and holy
terror at aggressive play to earn his
pay, yet here We have an assortment
Of National leaguers who are wabbly
and uncertain and two hitting scarcely
enough to keep from among the pitch
ers in the averaged
Third Basemen Hard to Figure.
1t is a hard bit ;of doping to figure
these third basemen- The Pittsburg
outlook is worst of ALL but the chances
are that before the season starts Cal
lahan will get some punch into third
base. The securing Of Jimmy Smith,
the peppery Fed lnfielder, may help
Callahan solve this problem. In the
first place, it will release Jimmy Viox
from second base. He ought to be in
the Outfield, his natural position but
he can play second and can play third.
Anticipating Callahan. 1 have figured
Smith in part of the games at second,
some at short and many at third, and
/ have divided VioI up and given him
most Of the time I'M the Outfield. Baird
certainly is a clever enough ball play
er, but can't hit Joe Schultz, who
wabbled around between Chicago and
Brooklyn, is a better asset and I fig
ure him in forty gaTnes at third. Paddy
Siglin and McAuley, secured from the
Central, cannot hit and Cleveland,
touted as a corking fielder, only hit
1858 in the Virginia, which was 20
points below DamrSu, who looked like
sucker in fast company.
GrOh Is the Glass.

but that Groh is tho class of the league

ing and makes UP with Herzog.

rel knock him from the top OF the

Bv HUGH S. FULLERTON.

Brooklyn ranks a close second. May
be you do not realize how this Getz
has come along. Getz there with both
feet. II he could hit little better
but then, he is a good waiter, and that
helps
Zimmerman f. Third.
In spite Of his faults, Heinie Zim-
norman is up there third. A bad ball
player who ought to be the greatest
the world ever has seen If he could
control himself and do a little thinking.
He can hit, but not in a pinch. He
can win a game as brilliantly as he
can throw 1t away. The chief trouble
with Heinie is that he throws the games
the team needs worst, lows at the crit
ical moments and takes his swings just
when a hit means something and then
hits the pill a mile when the game is
lost.
Braves Are Very Mobile.
Boston ranks up well. Smith is a
pretty fair ball player now and he is
carefully understudied. Sailing is not
taking chances on an injury wrecking
his team and the more closely one ex-
amines his outfit the more cleverly
one sees IL is put together. He has
the most mobile team in the league, and
they can double in BRASS anywhere
from first base to the outfieid. That
is the deceptive part Of the Braves. You
sit down and figure that an accident
to Evers would kill the team and find
that, by using Egan, Stallings still is
strong. If Smith slips or breaks an
other leg. the achievements ere al
most as strong. The only vital spot
seems to be Maranville--and some Of
Stallings' crew can play short fairly
we'll A well constructed team In view
Of emergencies. Smith played all the
games last year, but one scarcely can
expect that to happen again or figure
on ii consistently. Stallings makes a
dopester earn his money by figuring
two or three different men in each
position and averaging their strengths.
Moran is eXcellently fortified at third
base, having Stock and Byrne- Bobby
Byrne is the better player, although
Stock, after getting the job last year
because Bobby was hurt, played so
well that Moran could not consistently
take him out.
PhilIies Lead Giants.
I was much interested in figuring
Philadelphia and the Giants to see how
their third basemen stack up-yOu re-
member they said Moran got all the
worst OF the trade. Well, the Phillies
led by a scant margin. LOhert has
not PANIED out. For years we all kept
saying that If ever Hans got with a
good ball club he would be a world
beaten The truth is that he was not
as good a bali player with the Giants
as he was when he was sashaying
around third for tail end teams. There
were times during the period when the
Giants were hustling and still hoping
