Hans Wagner's name ap.
pears on every all-American
all-star base ball team for all
time, and what the Old-time
star doesn't know about base
ball doesn't amount to much.
In this, the story of his career
told by himself, he tells you
what he knowS--the skill of
men and teams and plays, the
development of the American
national game, all the ins and
outs that the base ball fan of
today wants TO know about.
He gives pointers to the
youngsters and the college
player and he tells the old
hand where he can look for
new delights by ws1ening for
fine points that most of US
overlook. Hans Wagner's
story is more than this, how
ever; to it he has brought his
sound philosophy and knowI-
edge of men, SO that the dia-
m0nd, as he talks of II, be-
comes as broad as the whole
world. And with a simplicity
that makes absorbing reading,
he has accomplished what
many skilled writers fail to
achieve; he has given q living,
fuil-length portrait of a man
himself.
