valuable to any organization. Lew
Criger was a credit to the game.
BENDER Gets High Rating.
l have already discussed the all
American League pitchers. with the
exception of Chief Bender and Ed
Walsh. There is no question in my
mind that an all-American League
team would be incomplete without the
willy Indian. Bender. The game has
produced very few such pitchers. In
addition to his natural strength. his
wonderful speed and curves. Bender
made an intensive study of batters. 1t
was seldom that he made a mistake.
No pitcher ever had more nerve. Ben
der was the one Athletic pitcher to
beat us III that first world series.
Ed WALSH I have selected as a
pitcher for several reasons. He was
easily the most famous and effective
Of all the spitball pitchers. While
with the White Sox Ed was prac-
tically lnvincible. A big factor in his
value to a ball club was his marvel

ability. He excelled as hitter, was
an expert shortstop, wonderful base

\ attempting to select team OF
| American League stars | am
mindful OF the fact that | have
not been SO closely associated with
them as those OF the National
League. At the same time my va
rious teams have played against
most of them. either i'll world series
contests or in spring exhibition
games. Also | was rather inti-
niately associated with many of
their stars in our trip around the

vote chapter the worlds tour

have tried obe fair and just after
giving all of these players careful
consideration. am inclined to feel
that my choice will meet with the ap-
proval of majority of the lovers Of
base ball. Here is my selection:
Catchers-Ray SchIs,k.
Lew Criger.
Pitchcrs-Rubc Wndden.

feel rather sure that my choice
OF Ray Schalk for all-American
League catcher will meet with the
approval of the players in that league.
! have talked with a number of them
and il seems to be the general opin-
ion that he stands out: Personally |
am quite familiar with his catching
and | regard him as the best back
stop the American League has ever
produced. Schalk has all the qualiti-
cations that go to make the perfect
catcher, or as near to it as we can
get. He studies opposing batters
carefully and remembers their weak
ueSseS.
Stendies the Whole Team.
owing to the confidence of fellow
players i'm his Judgment Schalll
steadies the whole team. He is a hard
and conscientious worker and loves
his profession. Schalk is a hard and
accurate thrower and due to Won
derful pair of hands he is seldom dis
abIed. He is also very fast on the
bases, an unusual thing for catcher.
and is a good hitter. / have no heSi-
fancy in selecting him as the one
great American League star behind
the bat.
Lew Criger was a catcher Of the
old school and one Of the classiest.
He caught Cy Young. Bill Dineen and
other stars for years. All Of then
pronounce him great. Criger was an
everyday. hardworking catcher that
always could be depended upon.
Though Lew was but fair hitter he
was very dependable in the pinches.

the match should be hard fought from
