Chapter zS-Picking the Greatest
Players of All Time.
BY HANS WAGNEP

N my next chapter l intend to
present what l think should be
the grand all-America team of all
times. AS preliminary, though, l
want to lay before you a list of great
base ball men, including managers,
SO that you will have something
to go on in case you do not agree
! with me.
This thing of picking out the very
best players you have seen in thirty
years is no easy job. | hope you
VIII believe me when | tell you that
!! have spent one solid week select
ing the different players and then
gong over them again to see if

things crop up like a mans natural

great ability in a pinch. These
things all have to be considered.
have given up the idea of going by
the records, and think any veteran
base ball man would agree with me.
Some OF our most valuable PLAYERS
in winning ball games and pennants
have never had outstanding records.
To begin with. l laid out the fol-
lowing managers as having some
| claim for the job: John j. McGraw.
! Fred c. Clarke. Connie Mack. Frank
Chance, Pat Moran. Bill Carrigan,
Wtlbert Robinson, George Stallings
and Frank Selee.
Now, every man in that lot has
some special claim to greatness.
Most of them never got what was
coming to them. Take Frank Selee,
for instance. Very few people know
that when he was breaking down
through illness he went from Boston
to Chicago and started building. He
| laid the foundation on which Frank
Chance later completed the job. Poor
Frank died from his long Illness, and
very few of the modern-day fans re-
! member him. 1 might say, though,
that | will not make Selee my all
American manager. He was great,
but others are greater.

not one Of them ever makes a crack
in the outfield that you can hear to
the bench. Can you imagine Irish
men being that quiet?"
Both Stallings and Frank Chance
were SO aggressive that, in case an
argument on the bench or In the club
house went too far, they were ready
to settle il with their good right arms
and clinched fists. Clarke also would
go to the mat with anybody who felt
like disputinR his authority.
The players always admired these
men because they knew that the
manager not only knew what he was
talking about, but could do the job
himself il necessary. 1t means lot

manager can do whatever he tells you
to do. It's just the same 8 the army
