Major Leagues Looking For
Players to Replace Vets
Stars In Majors Are Old Timers Who Are Be-
coming Too Old for Active Service.
Minors Are Being Thoroughly
Combed for Players
BY JAMES j. coRBETT

Never before has such feversh combing
of the bush leagues taken place
Every magnate in the major leagues
realizes that the bulk of the stars of to-
day are of the fading variety; that their
places shortly must be taken by young
sters who. first of all. must be developed
with season or two of experime nting
on the field and by observation from the
benches.
The situation in the baseball world at
this time is unique. Prior to 1919 there
were always three classes of players or
a ball team: % the green" youngsters,
C2) the seasoned players who still had
many years of baseball usefulness before
them, go the oldtimers
But now the seasoned players who still
have years of usefulness in their arms
and legs are very rare indeed. Hollo-
cher of the Cubs, Hornsby of the Cardi-
nails, Groh of the Reds. Sister OF the
Browns, Young of the Giants, McHenry
of the Cardinals, Roush of the Reds, Har-
ris of the Indians, Ruth of the Red Sox.
and Meanwhile of the Braves-there you
have the pick of the lot who belong to the
class of brilliant performers who are still
youthful enough to look like major league
performers for many years more.
GETTING OLD
Cobb, Jackson, Speaker, Peckinpaugh,
McInnis, Collins, Gandill, Chapman,
Weaver, Alexander, Schang and Schalk,
all must be reckoned now in the class of
veterans. Those fellows will endure TO,
several years more at least in topnotch
major league circles, but sooner or later
time will take it's toll. There will come
a slowing up of their legs, dimming of
their batting eye-and they will fade from
the baseball picture.
Men like Cravath, Sallee Cicotte,
Adams, Benton, Johnson, Marquard.

TAB ON TIME CONSUMED

Montgomery, September 19.-(Special.)
Clerks of the circuit courts in the future
will have to keep tab on the length of

their respective courts, if a bill passed by
the house today becomes a law

baseball players prime. All have proven
useful through 1919; some have been
among the seasons most sensational per-
formers. But there is no telling when
there will come terrific slowing up of
their entire play-when they no longer
will >be adjudged as worth whiles' in
the majors. And there must be young
sters to take their piaces-seasoned
youngsters-so that the standard of
major leagu baseball can be maintained.
1t is for men to take the places of such
veterans as above newfoundland nearly
a half hundred more-that the scouts
have searched all through the summer.
There have been heavier Withdrawals o.
youngsters from the minor leagues
through this season than ever before in

of youngsters will make their appearance

1t is more than likely that John Nc
Graw will take % kids south. The
Braves already have shared about Is
promising looking rockies. 1t is the same
with every other club in the circuit And
so it follows that in the gentle spring
time of 1920 there will be more feverish
activity on the part of major league
managers IN trying to develop stars than
ever before. In the past it was consid-
cred quite an achievement for manager
to produce two good looking youngsters
