Lord Reading, the British ambassa-

got him into an amusing adventure

He had lunched at n Washington

he told the waiter he would have Il

waiter.
So Lord Reading wrote Reading

in Fast Company They Are Fading

What is the average tenure Of the
ballplayer In the big leagues?
The reader who asked this question
caused us TO go back over the records
for a few years and we found some
thing interesting ana enlightenins on
The subject.
Somewhere under 10 years would be
the answer, just at what point would
be dinlcult TO determine.
There are players who have gone on
for a score Of years, but players OF
the Anson. Wagner, Laioie type are
scarce. There have been hundreds
who have lasted only a seaSDn or two,
but 10 is safe TO say the average ball
player is good for somewhere between
eight and ten years.
It is interesting right along this
same line Of thought to so through a
record book Of 10 or twelve years ago
and lnd Just what percentage o. the
players in active service then Will be
ready TO report at the 1918 training
camps.
The result is astonishing even TO the
most ardent followers Of the game
70 seems scarcely possible that out
of the $50 men drawing salaries In the

these probably win not be seen in 1918
