BOBBY WALLACE A VETERAN
WHEN HANS WAGNER BROKE IN
Former Star Shortstop Returns To Active
Duty With Cardinals After An Alb
sence OF Sixteen Years.

You boys think you know something
about base ball. Suppose man came
up here and invited you to bet him
that there isn't player in the National
League today who was there when Honus
Wagner broke in. twenty years ago:
would you take him."
The speaker was Patsy Donovan.
former manager of big league teams
and the bronzed young men to whom
he addressed his remarks were mem
bers of his Buffalo team, enjoying an
off day al the Polo Grounds.
What would | do?" answered one
of Pats hired men. Why. I'd call a
policeman and have the guy commit
ted for observation"
You wouldn't bet him, them" said
Pat.
Wagner crashed in before 1 was born.
He's outlasted 'em all.
We'll" remarked Donovan. you
would lose II you took the bet"
Well. where's the guy that welcomed
Honus into the league? Show him to
me-
Donovan silently pointed to figure
in St. Louis uniform on the first base
oaching lines as the Cardinals went to
bat in the eighth inning.
There he is announced Patsy. And
IL you don't believe Wallace was a
National League veteran when Wagner
broke in you can start betting me right
now.
And so he was Wagner first joined

Two years before that Bobby Wallace

pitcher for the Clevelnd club. Wagner,
Of course. holds the National League
record for continuous service. He is
now in his twenty-firSt season. Wallace
started twenty-three years ago and is
still rated an active player, though
he umpired one season and spent the
early part of this year as minor
league manager.
Here is a veteran of the diamond
who is almost forgotten by the present
generation of fans in this part of the
country. yet he was the best shortstop
in the National League for several years
and afterward starred in the American.
How's This for Recordp
Wallace holds one record that prob
ably never will be duplicated. He is
the only athlete that ever left a big
league team and rejoined it sixteen
years later as an active player,
The last time his services were
sought by the st. Louis National
League club the services of court
were solicited. That was in 1902. when

Price has always been fairly ac-

The present supply of Hudson
Super-Sixes is built from materials

the present material market.
When former cheaper cars could
be bought at $500 to $500 less than
the Super-Six, no two of them had
sales equal to those of the Hudson.
That shows how popular the Super

to other cars. 1t is easy to imagine
how much more popular it will be
