HONOR ROLL FOR sEPTEMBE

for the greater part of the year.
Both are fine ball players.
But we string Eddie Collins. who
is not only playing in his old bril-
liant fashion, but is also having his
greatest year at bat.
Collins is the greatest all-around
second baseman of all time. and 1920
is one of the greatest years.
What more could you ask-eyen
pittcd against a Hornsby? Collins
has made more hits. scored more
runs and stolen more bsses than
his rival and has had quite an edge
in defensive play around -Second
base
Bancroft will fit in very we'll at
short. He is not only a fast bril-
liant hustlinE player, but he is out
hitting such rivals as Peckinpaugh,
Scott. Maranvilie. etc. by L decisive
margin. The Giant shortstop is now
blowing himself to the best year he
ever had. He has been vital factor
in New York's dash from the rut
toward the top.
: The three leading third basemen
include Buck Weaver. Heinie Groh
is by all odds the best hitter, a
very fine infelder and one of the
best fighters in the game. He wins
the place.
The Out6cId.
Two men step in easily so far as
Outfield values go. The first is Iris
Speaker. the greatest outfielder of
all time and a slashing hitter, good
for some mark between 800 and
400.
Speaker for all-around outfield
worth stands alone. There is only
one Iris.
Hooked with Speaker. is "Ba be"
Ruth. n good fielder and the ha rdcst
hitter that ever lived. Ruth will
very likely score moro runs and
in either league His alta ckinE
value is Terrific asset TO any club.
CUbb's early accident has slowed
him UP and has kept him out of
many games.
Based on what he has done in tho
past he would lead the crop. But
for 1920 he has been well below
past standards. Young and swhcat
have both been good. Roush has
put too much temperament on dis
play to win a place. Joe. Jackson
is no great outaeIder. but any man
who can bat above $50 carries too
much value to be left off.
So here goes the team:
Catchers-Sehang and SchaIk.
Pitchers - Alexander, Bsubv.
Cooper and Shocker.
First base-SisIcr. s
Second base-Collins.
hortstop-Bancroft
Third base-Weaver.
Outfied-Speaker. Ruth and lack
son.
Maybe there's a better one. IF so
shoot.

NAVY Yards
EASY FORSH0PS
Terminal ~" League Team
Wins 10 to | in First
Game of Series.
by JACK HAAS.

Shops, of the Terminal "Y"
League, made Navy Yard look like
Junior leaguers in yesterdays game
at Union Park, winning with ease
by the score OF 10 to /. This is
the first of series of three games
to determine the District league
champions. Shops tried hard to
score shutout but old Buck Amer
lea upset their well laid plans.
Frye, on the mound for the Navy
Yarders. started wild on the first
batter to face him, passing Roche.
Limerick sacrificed him to second
and Moran flied out to French.
Dutch keihl came through with the
first hit of the game. sending Roche
over with the first run. In the
second inning the railroaders
jumped on Frye for three more
and enough 10 win the game.
Bernhard, the first up, soaked one
to right, Behrle sacrificing him to
second. Hurd got a life on Givon-
nette's error and Hilton famed.
Then the fusilade began when
Roche. Limerick and Moran singled
in quick succession. three runs COM
ing home. giving Shops the edge on
the series.
Buck America Saves shutout.
Navy Yard threatened in the
third, seventh and eighth, but not
tally could they bring across the
platter. In each of these innings
they got 4 man on with none gone,
but the necessary hits were not
forthcoming.
1t was up to Old Buck America,
who went into the lineup after Nc
Bride had had two chances to swat
the ball, to save the GUnmakers
from a whitews.sh. Buck started the
ninth with his second hit in two
times up, going to second on Longs
out. He scored when Capt. Mike
Moran made a two-base wild throw
over Hughes head trying to get
Connors at first Shops scored two
in the seventh and four more N the
eighth.
The Navy Yarders depended a
great deal on Frye, their acc, to win
the first game of the series but he
was not in form. Hilton was master
of the situation and had Navy Yard
eating out OF his hand. They could
do practically nothing with his
elusive delivery IS he allowed only
five hits. He struck out four, passed
three and hit batsman.

Wilbert Robinson, the rotund,
leader of the Dodgers, occupies an
enviable position. BY winning two
games from the Cubs yesterday, his
team increased its lead over the
champion Reds, who were defeated
by the PhiIlies- Brooklyn is now
five full games in the lead and can
nlay an ordinary brand Of ball and
win the rag, unless the Reds and
Giants begin a phenomenal winning
streak and keep il up until the sea
son closes.
Dodgers Have IL More Games.
Brooklyn has only fourteen more
games to play and by winning half
Of them can finish with a percentage
Of .5S4.
To equal this mark, the Reds, who
are billed for twenty-five games,
must win sixteen of them.
The Giants are in a similar pre-
diodment- They must win fourteen
out OF eighteen games to tie the
mark Of the Dodgers with only an
even break.
At the rate the Giants and Reds
are travelling today. it seems hardly
probable that they viii be able to
make the grade. on the other hanG
it is as sure as anything is in base
ball that the Dodgers will at least
win seven out OF fourteen games.
They have been travelling at far
faster pace than that Of late and
show no sign Of erumbling.
Here is what the three leaders will
nave to do to win, assuming that
the percentage Of .5S4 will bring
victory:

An AIl.Star Team.

You may observe that the heading
of this article is not The All-Star
Team but An All-Star Team"
Briefly. in behalf Of several re-
quests or suggestions that have
come in from various fans, it is the
array in baseball upon the 1920
showing.
The 1920 showing would elimi-
nate such stars as Ty Cobb, who
has been crippled most Of the yea.
and who is so points below his nor
NAL status. and Walter Johnson, who
has been wearing a lame arm two
thirds of the campaign.
These two, on past performances,
would make any all time team ever
named, but in so far as 1920 is con-
ccrned they have both been too
roughly handled by Fate to figure
with players working out the full
schedule.
The Catchers.
Main points that figure in the Sc
lection of a catcher are stamina,
ability to work one hundred or more
games. batting and generalship.
The three best in this respect are
Schang, of Boston; Schalk, of Chi
cago. and Perkins, of Philadelphia.
Needing two catChers for a club,
our pick would be Schang and
Schalk SChang is a 800 hitter, a
hard worker and good catcher,
while Schalk remains one of the
hardest working, smartest catchers
of the decade.
Four Pitchers.
You can get all the argument you
want in naming four pitchers. Most
OF the old stars are either skidding
or already sRiddcd. johnson has
had his first sore arm and CiCOttc
has slipped from his brilliancy OF
year ago.
So have Reuther and Eller.
Jim Vaughn has had Il tougher
year than usual and the same APP
plies to Jess Barnes. who led his
league in victories last season.
The four best that we see now
are Bagby, of Cleveland; Alexander,
of Chicago, Cooper, Of Pittsburgh,
and Shockcr. OF St. Louis.
They arc among the few who
have won over twenty games. Bag
by will lead the bOXmcn of both
leagues in victories. Alexander will
be on his heels. Cooper, pitching
for the weakest hitting club in his
circuit, has. been consistent. win
ner all year. The same applies to
Shocker, who. with a club out of
the race, has yet won well over
twenty games.
Grimes. OF Brooklyn; Mays, of New
York; COveleskie, Of Cleveland ;
Doak, of St. Louis. and Cicotte, Of
Chicago, have all had good years
but hardly up to the standard set
by the four herein mentioned and
inscribed.
The Inhelb.
The infield calls for arguments at
three points. There can be no argu-
ment at first base with Sisler bat
ting 400 and fielding in brilliant
fashion. HE wins the job here by
two spare furlongs.
But the other three places are
not so quickly decided.
At second we have Eddie Collins
and Rogers Hornsby. Both have
been batting between 500 and $40
