"Who is the best first baseman in
the National League?
1 asked Umpire Bill KLEIN Of the
National League during the world
series. It didn't take him very long
TO answer my question.
Jake Daubert played the best
game OF his career in 1922" said
KLEIN. "Old Jake acted like a young
ster. He did everything well and
had a big year Of It. Daubert easily
was the most valuable first basenaan
in the National League last season."
Unquestionably, the play of Jake
Daubert for Cincinnati last aso
was one of the remarkable features
of the year in major league ball.
At 81 years of age, when most
players are slipping rapidly, Daubert
had a great season Of 1t. He figured
on going at top speed for three OF
four more years.
Made Great Record
Daubert played in every inning of
the 1856 games in which Cincinnati
took part. His fielding average of
1913 was best in the National League,
a fraction of a point in advance of
Charley Grimm's mark. He batted
1886, making 205 hits. of which %
were triples - more three baggers
than any other National Lacquer
made.
Daubert, because he has taken the
best Of care of himself, sees no
reason why a player shouldn't keep
on delivering as a big Lacquer until
he is 40.
