Cap Arson, one Of the daddies Of
baseball, believes the old-time ball
players were superior to the modern
crop. Good baseball was played 20
years before the game was taken in
hand by the National league in 1876"
said Arson, recently. But, of course,
In those days there were not so many
ball players to be had.
"Yet with the present wealth of ma
terial in the big leagues there are COM
paratively few really good players. In
my opinion, Wagner and Lajoie, though
they are growing old, possess more
natural skill than the younger stars of
today, with the possible exception Of
Ty Cobb and iris Speaker"
When asked If he had ever seen any
pitchers better than Walter Johnson
Christy Mathewson, Alexander and
other modern stars, Arson said, Eyes
He believes that Amos Rusie, who
pitched for the Giants from 1890 un
til 1899, was the greatest of them ALL

Jolt From McCloskey.

Years ago. when John McCloskey
was managing ut St. Louis, a certain
young ball player started hitting the
ball ficrccly. 1t was his first trip in
the majors and the fact elated him.
When he made his sixth or seventh
straight single he stalked back to the
bench and Topped himself near where
McCloskey was sitting.
well, / stung that one, eh?" re-
marked the recruit. "Right on the old
benk, too. Let's see. how many straight
singles is that I've made!'
McCloskey eyed him sternly. "Young
fellow" he said finally, "if you want a
place on this ball club you have to
hand out q double or triple once in a
while. These singles aren't enough"
