IVAN OLSON IS MOST
RELIABLE AS PLAYER
Commences His Fifth Season
With Brooklyn Superbas,
InfieIder Knows Baseball From A to
z and Should Prove Manager Rob.
lnson's Most Able Lieutenant
Faster Than Ever.

This Is Ivan Olson's ninth season
In fast company and his fifth with
the Brooklyn ~Superbas. Olson was
claimed by the Cleveland club from
Portland back In 1911, remained with
Cleveland four seasons, stayed a min
ute" with the Cincinnatis In 1915, and
was waived Owe to Brooklyn In the
midst of the 1915 season.
When Ollie went back to California
last September he got himself a job
with an oil concern in Los Angeles.
That was q sort of hiatus In his life.
In other years he wintered In the
Pacific Coast league or hunted or some
such thing, but work-nothing doing.
They had q ball team In that oil
concern and Ole Joined 1t, training
three times a week and playing Sum
days when the influenza ban was not
in force. His ball playing and steady
work had a remarkable effect. 1t put
Olson In the best condition he ever
was In his long career on the dia-
mO1u, anu Iudt udIeS lEOIu lOOOy WIFI
he broke in with Muskogee of the
Three-Eye league.
Today, at the age of "a, when most
inielders are slipping, Ivy is one Of
the most reliable players on the
Brooklyn team. he knows baseball
from A to 2 and should be Robbie's
ablest lieutenant now that Jack
Coombs has departed. He is showing
the splendid effects Of that winter
training by his brilliant a%ll-around
work, and should continue at top
speed for some time to come. His
fielding is better than ever. he Is hit
ting harder and is faster on the bases
His coaching Of the other infielderS
and the pitchers while a game is on
is another valuable asset. Ivy has
the distinction of being the most con.
sIstently "panned" player Brooklyn
ever had, but he has thrived on the
panning.

sport for the men of the state. He
has offered to cooperate to the fullest
extent possible with state authorities,
both in protecting game on the reser-
walton and in seeking to improve
hunting and fishing in the districts
near the big camp.

the other and ducked. Some of the
boys did not like this scheme but had
Il submit or leave the class. Next in

Water wings, suspending the body

quirement exacted is that everyone
