followers.
The main setto. which will be over

Greatest OF All Players.
Was talking to a dyed In the-wool
baseball fan the other day when the
old argument came up as to who is
the best ball player ever seen in the
different positions. could not an
swer his question satisfa ctorily for the
reason that this gentleman wanted to
make a pick out of the old as well as
the new generation.
This is out of the question and not
fair to either side, for the reason that
ball players played under entirely diff
ferent conditions. But I am going 10
try to make up what I think were the
best teams during any ten years OF
the game since 1880.
Here are the players that would
have made up the best team ac-
cording to my figures. We will use
two pitchers. right and left
handed one, and two catchers. with
an extra infielder and outfielder for
each ten years.
1880 to 1SS9-Clarkson, Kilroy,
pitchers; Ewing and Kelly. catch
crs: Arson. first: Dunlap. second
Williamson. third; John Ward, ex-
ira infielder; Jimmy Ryan. Sam
Thompson, James Fogerty, outfield-
ers, with Ned Hanlon. extra man.
