Z A fitting tribute, this. Simple and
unostentatious. but enduring and
strong. The memorial is In close
keeping with Anson's character and
his record as a player and a man.
President HeydIer and the National
League Club owners gave a good
deal of thought and attention to this
memorial. Sincerity alone dictated
their course. They felt that he richly
deserved a memorial. The league
honored itself in honoring the mem
ory of this remarkable man. 1t was
not so much because OF Anson's
greatness as a player that the league
pushed this memorial movement,
first started by popular sentiment
and subscription. through to compile
tion, but because of his long and
honorable career. He played with the
league for twenty-five years and
complied the amazing batting aver

was not. alone the star batsman of
an entire decade, but he was man
of high character and sterling pur-

He has his own methods of training,

Hoyle, they seem to bring the results

He is a big, strong guy. His build
