Picks All Star Team.
An all time, all star team o players
from the American association was
picked yesterday by Pongo as he sat
on the piazza of his home. Perhaps
1t was the sight of the swollen river
which is a mile and one-half wide at
Hickman or pernaps it was the twit-
tering of the mockingbirds or the new
buds on JOe's umbrella tree.
Anyway Pongo waited until a river
packet had footed its way around the
huge bend n then fell into remin-
%iscences. perhaps it will sound
egotistical," he said, but it is never
theless true that most Of the best men
in the American association were at
one time or another on the Mime
apolis club. I would pick Dave Alti-
| ger for shortstop. He used to hit as
! high as $50 and he could field and
steal bases with the best of them. a,
second ] would pick Jimmy Williams
! d sensational fielder and Il great hit
ter.
Selects Wally Smith.
The greatest third bascman the
league a had was Wally Smith as he
played in 1915 and how he could hit,
I'll have to so to Milwaukee TO pick
out the all star first baseman. He is
Jiggs Donahue, who went To- the
White Sox later and was III sen.
sation Of the Sox-Cub world series OF
1904. In the out1ield will be Otis
Cymer. a great hitter and fielder OF
the leagues stolen base leader for
years. Happy F'elsch of Milwaukee
who was n of the Black Sox and is
now out of the game for ever: Elmer
Miller of st. Paul. now with the
iYanks. n old George Stone of Mil.
waukee. For catchers I'll take Viz
Ovens and Ray Schalk. Zip is one
Of the headiest men in the world be-
hind the bat he had and still has q
great arm and is still a powerful hit.

For right-handed hurlers give me
Tom Hughes, the speed king. Booth
Harper and his knockle ball, and Mutt
Williams, the iron man, all former
Millers. and for southpaws RUDE
Waddell and Earl Yingling. Thi.
