On Honus Wagner rests the chance
of Johnny Evers' ambition to be
realized.
Evers has had about all the honors
it is possible for baseball players TO get.
Three times he was with clubs that
won world series and twice was at the
losing end Of the world series games.
He held down the keystone sack with
the Cubs Que of the greatest machines
in baseball and played in the same
capacity with the Braves during their
record breaking drive for a pennant in
1914
There is little in the line of baseball
achievement that Evers can wish for.
For many years he was regarded as the
greatest second baseman in the game.
Now Evers wants to retire from base
