mates the Main Line team.

LNRST base rivalry this season is keener
than anything baseball has known for
many years. With Hal Chase back at his
best, with Stufy McInnis again batting up
to ancient form, with Fred Merkle offer
ing revival with Siser on hand and young
Holke batting more than 300. the first base
ing carnival is extremely zu-zu. not to say
zippy Not forgetting Jake Daubert and
several others
If manager had to select one man from
Hal Chase George Siser and Stufry Nc
lnnis for just seasons play he would need
more than q few seconds consideration.
Chase is the best first baseman In the Ma
tional League, beyond any argument. with
McInns and Sisler leading in the American.
Mcinnis is a great first baseman. He
can hit field. and he has the pep Mack
liked him well enough to retain him while
bidding farewell to Collins, Barry and
Baker.
The citizen who leads the field around this
assignment for 1917 will he something of a
bird. There is sufficient competition to stir
up a healthy debate.
