SUN SETS FOR HANS WAGNER,
STAR ON DIAMOND FOR 20 YEARS
Failure to Report to Pi-
rates Means Probable
Retirement of the Fa-
nous Dutchman

TTNIIE sun has set on the baseball career
i of Hans Wagner. For the first time in
twenty years the Pirates opened their base-
ball season when they payed in Chicago
yesterday without him. and 1t is evident
that he has decided to retire from the game
forever.
The veteran. who is at his home. in Car
nege. Pa, refuses to make a statement.
His salary was cut by Barney Dreyfuss. the
Pittsburgh president, when the contracts
were sent out few months ago and the
great shortstop refused to sign
For some years Honus had been seri-
ously thinking of retiring from the game.
and rather than submit to a cut in salary
after serving the Pirates through the best
years of wonderful career. he decided
definitely and determinedly TO discard his
uniform.
BY his action--and it Is thought in Pitts
burgh that he will adhere to his decision
the game loses one of its most picturesque
figures. Forty-three he was February "a
last the Oldest player in the big leagues.
Hawk of Baseball"
Dispatches regularly were sent out from
Pittsburgh to the effect that Dreyfuss had
signed a recruit who would 'fll Wagner S
shoes" These dspa tches were sent out for
years. but with the passing of time 1t be-
came more and more evident that the shoes
of Hans Wagner were peculiarly large.
and SO Hans Wagner continued to play
shortstop for the Pirates.
A grotesque figure indeed was Hans Wag-
ner. Gawky, bowlegged. loose jointed, sharp
featured. he was the hawk of the baseball
world, with hands and feet that managed
somehow to scoop up balls over great
amount of territory.
THE old boy is slowing up" the fans in
the stands would say, but the old boy stuck
and continued to outplay many of his rival
shortstops and all those who aspired to his
position with the Pirates
But now it appears that the venerable
Dutchman is through forever. A young fel-
low named Ward had his place in yester-
days game with the Cubs. and for young
fellow he did well. He got hit in three
times up and ielded his position perfectly
but he did not fill Hans Wagner's shoes.
The game will be played for years and
years before his like Is seen again.
Averaged More Than 300
Through a career of twenty years he
achieved a batting average of 1924. lie
has played in more games than any player
in the history of big league baseball, and
not once was he removed from a game by
an umpire.
He was married few months ago to

TRIALS NEXT MON Jay

Earl Eby, the Chicago middle-distance
flyer, and Izzy Hough, the former George
School sprinter and quarter miller, devel-
oped slight tendon strains when going

rest for the next two weeks. Coach Law

nual Penn relay carnival.

TT OUR Uncle Samuels field entries face
L the situation as most of them have faced
various shifts Of sport there will be little
doubt as to the final score.
Americas way of training for sport has
for long time been a marvellous affair to
European nations. They have never quite
appreciated how our various entries were
willing to go through so many forms Of
drudgery to perfect skill and team play
to develop a winning system.
In the way of preparation for sport the
in the world. Ball clubs go South six weeks
ahead of a long, hard schedule to be ready
for the big jump. Football squads face the
toughest sort of training to give the best
they have for their hardest games. Golfers
and tennis players work hours at time
for months and years in developing certain
shots where even the English would not
have given one-third Of the drudgery called
for
There has always been in America a
yearning to excel and to win. In sport we
have been a nation that looked in the main
to results--to the score-rather than the
rest of 1t.
This may not be an ideal situation, but
over the long road results are the things
which count.
Uncle Sam has only to enter the retlder
field as he has gone into the other to be
sure of the desired score at the finish. And
the training which has come to be a habit
in the one is sure to be a vast help in
tho other.

On Wednesday more than eighty
teams were at the silos of the Frank
Herfort Canning company, and many
of them had to return home without
a load. 1t was impossible to accom-
modate all that came, so keen was
the demand for the sour goods from
the big earthern upright tubes. Some
of the customers were on the ground
before the stars had gone from sight,
and others were there long after the
consultations had arrived for the ev-
ening display The occasion of the
rush was the final disposal Of the sill
age. For some time customers have
been hauling it away, but the food
was prac,ically gone and many de-
sired to obtain to- more Of the
last. Mr.. Herfort sold the corn silage
at $100 ton and the pea vines al
$500 for the same weight. The pea
vines make excellent feed and the
owners of cattle were very anxious to
obtain supply. At the time Of the
rush it was impossible to get about
the grounds of the company on ae-
count of the many teams waiting.
