This has long been renowned as
. remarkable outfielder. In rang
ing over a vast expanse Of ground.
in throwing to bases. in fielding
ground balls, in going back for
long drives and in playing the
batter" 1t is now conceded that
Speaker has never had a superior
and but few equals. There has
never been any fielder that could
do all the thing enumerated above
as we'll as the Indian manager, and
in addition he is one Of the great
est batters that ever shouldered q
club, grand base runner and q
capable manager. Where or when
has HIS equal been seen?
Speakers swatting mark now is
in the shadow of the well known
400. This season has tended to
present him as, a famous slugger
more than as the greatest defensive
outpost Of all time, yet when iris
hasn't been slamming the ball for
keeps he has been sneaking back
on drives in his accustomed form.
In fact, the 1920 season thus far
has shown iris enacting a triple
role and performing q feat that re-
calls to older fans the days Of 9TH
er famous playing leaders who not
only piloted their teams out to-
ward the front, but also blazed the
way for the league in batting and
fielding.
Speakers Grand Work.
Features Of Speakers 1920 work
include a total Of 131 hits and II
runs in the first half Of the season,
during which he failed to get q ha
in only II games. He haseapprox-
mated this remarkable Cord dur
ing the closing half OF the cam
paign. This once had the extreme
pleasure Of making five safe hits
in one contest and in two other
engagements he has made four hits.
Three blows per game were made
by iris in no less than 18 battles.
The Indian chief incidentally chas-
ed seven flies to death in one game
and in four others successfully pur-
sued six such drives.
More commonly known feats per
formed byTris are his pace setting
for American league batsmen this
season with an average well nigh
400, and his unusual total Of III
runs. either Of these performances
being enough to make q star Of any
player. iris, however, has turned
