Anton Lang in Fiction

Anton Lang. the Christus Of the pas
sion Play" is famous wherever the story
of Oberammergau is known. When the
report that Lang had been forced into
the German army-a report that had
70 foundation in fact-Edward Lyell
Fox wrote "A story about n man of
Oberammergau whom he calls Anhalt
the cobbler. and Identifies him as the
Christus of the play. He has the man
denounce German militarism and finally
refuse to go when he is called to the
army. Then the man is shot for his re-
fusal to obey the commands of the
Kaiser. Mr.. Fox explains that his story
is not historical but is merely fiction.
II Is excellent fiction of its kind.

New York, Aug. 27.-(SpeciaD-
That old chestnut about How old is
Ann? is rather played out by now,
but here Is a new one: How old is
Iris Speaker? Speaker so far as
we can recall, is the only ball player
on record who grows younger in
stead of older, writes "Shortstop" in
The New York Sun. After some
stormy five years during which he
laced quite q collection of pitchers
we find that Speaker is back at the
same age he was reputed to be when
the Giants and Red Sox fought for
the worlds championship in 1912.
Speaker, was born. in Hubbard City,
Tex, on April 10, 1888, or in Hub
bard City, Tex, on April 4, 1888,
whichever date you like, as both are
in the records. Nevertheless the
great outflelder. of the Indians re-
Gently registered for the draft, so he
seems to favor the 1883 birth date.
In fact, 1t was the draft which
really brought the question of Speak
er's age to the front. Many persons,
including a number of sporting
writer's, asked, why should Speak
err register when he is moving
But Speaker now says he is only
twenty-nine and has a page in the
family Bible to prove it.
iris Age a Puzzle.
Perhaps there never was a leading
star about whom there was so much
doubt over his age as in the case of
Speaker. The record books up to a
few years ago have Speaker born in
1888. In the sketches of the Boston
players participating in the 1912 and
1915 worlds series Speaker again
appears as being born in 1888, and
the statement was never questioned.
Speaker looks like a man well on
to thirty-five. He has quite crop
of gray hair and has the appearance
of a man between the ages of thirty
and forty. He frequently was re-
ferred to as a player older than
Cobb, and last season there was con-
siderable comment on the fact that
the mighty Tyfus was beaten out for
the batting championship by a player
older than himself.
In the baseball record book gotten
up in 1915 Speaker appears as being
born in 1888. This was generally
considered to be a misprint, an 8 in
stead of 8, but now that Speaker
has registered for the draft it seems
the 1883 birth year is correct.
Yanks Were Fooled.
But for the general misconception
regarding SPEAKERS age, it is likely
that the Yankees would have made
much more OF bid for speaker in
1916 than was the case. 1t will be
recalled that there was some talk of
a trade of Speaker and Maisel and
cash, and Cap Huston even admitted
that during the winter meeting he
had had some conversation with Joe
Lannin on the acquisition of Speaker.
Huston said the price Lannin put on
the player was so prohibitive that 1t
ended the conversation.
Were Speaker a younger man,
such a price might have been consid-
cred" Huston told Shortstop at the
time. But Speaker is now well past
thirty and won't get any better, Any
player over thirty is gamble pure
and simple. He may hold up for sew
eral years or go just like that" That

which Lannin set on the player. But
perhaps If the New York club knew
in April, 1915, that Speaker was only

the Yankee club would have shown
much more interest in the Speaker
proposition.
The $22,500 handed to Auctioneer
