1T W ENI1 years or So no DIE slice
of time figured in the rise and
fall of nations, but quite a span
in the tempestuous activities OF the
grand old game Of baseball. IN point
OF proof herewith are submitted few
pertinent observations as chronicled
by a scribe about a score Of years ago.
Note this one first:
The Philadelphia writer's are OF the
opinion that manager Billy Nash. OF
the Quakers. has picked up a jewel in
outfielder Phil Geier. but they are not
so sure about LajOie, the first base
man secured from the Fail River club
in the same deal
$50 capable n leader as Frank Sc
lee. Of Boston. looked over LajOfe
before Nash got him and turned
him down because he didn't shape
up to the standard of n major
league batsman- just now LajOie
is hitting pretty well. hut wait
until the pitchers discover his
weakness"
Easy to see now that the quest OF
the earnest young men who sought
the hitting weakness Of the big
Frenchman were about as futile as the
IOunderings Of old don Ponce de Leon
through the glades OF Florida seeking
the fountain Of youth. Might also add
that not a few ambitious lads are still
having their troubles in the big hunt
in the Interna tiOnal league right now
Speaking Of the bitter being bitten.
you can now appreciate the comedy as
il seems now in the following:
"Es IL any wonder that the
Giants keep down in the second
division year after year when An

/ ington. In the first game he had
four putouts and six assists, in the
second. nine assists, 19 chances
without an error.
The baseball writer who sends out
the Associated Press scores each night
enormously charged Chapman with
an error where he made a wonderful
stop Of a ball that got by Turner
and where Turner dropped his throw
to force the runner going to third
The writer in question thought the
throw pulled Turner off the bag.
Other scorers credited the batsman
with a hit and exempted both In
dams from an error. II there was an
error. Turner should be the recipient
as he, himself declares the ball was
right in his hands and he had no ex-
cuse for dropping it.
Chapman has not failed to get a
ball there was a possible chance for
him to get He has dashed in to get
the balls knocked down by the
pitchers, getting the batter in every
instance.
He has sPeared them with one
hand-tOward third. He has
spiked line drives while IeapinE
in the air half way turned from
the plate. In short. his playing
has become so phenomenal that
IL no longer prOyOkes and sur
prise among his teammates who
nre unanimous in saving they
never saw the short field played
as well rs Chapman has been
playing IL of late.
