With three contests remaining in
the current set the men of Mccain
have a chance to regain second

sweep the trio of struggles. The K.
c. FASTENERS are two and one-half
games ahead of the Tribesmen,
having gained full game on Mon
day when the visitors were nosed
out, 10 to 8.

Ruth Selects All-Star
Club of Previous Years

best all-round work for any single
year at any position was the basis
of the selections.
Say, for example, that Charley
Gehringer in 1880 had turned in a
more brilliant all-round perform
ance than Rogers Hornsby did in
any of the seven years he was
chosen for this all-America team,
at second base. Under such condi-
tons I would name Gehringer for
this team I am announcing today,
even though HornSby was chosen
seven different seasons and Gehr-
niger only once.
Here is the team:
Right Field-Heilmann, Detroit, 1923.
Center Field-Cobb. Detroit. 1922.
Left Field-Simmons. Philadelphia, 1880.
First Base-Sisler. st. Louis. 1922.
Second Base-Hornsby. st. Louis. 1924.
ShOrtstop-Cronin, Washington. 1880.
Third Base-Traynor. Pittsburgh. 1929.
Catcher-Cochrane. Philadelphia, 1880.
Pitcher-Grove. Philadelphia, 1880.
Pitcher-Vance, Brooklyn, 1924.
Three Of the players named above
were selected only in the years
which show beside their name. The
three are Cobb, Sisler and Cronin.
All the others were on two Or more
Of these teams, Hornsby being
named seven times, while Simmons
and Cochrane were my choice at
the close of four different seasons.
There is an explanation wish to make
in regard to the center field choice be-
cause the list announced three weeks ago
senteT Cob played center eld 0 that
season and batted above 400. Speaker,
like Cobb, was still one Of our greatest
enough for any outfeld and Ty had
played some games in left field, so in the
selection Of. that season I was able to
center fielders standing out SO far above
left of.
don't imagine there will be much dis
pute on the pitcher choices. Vance stood
out in 1924 as Grove did last year. Dazzy
won twenty-eight games and lost six that
season, whereas Grove won twenty-eight
and lost five last year with much more
powerful club. Vance had an earned run
allowance of only 2l6 that year which
was far better than Groves mark of 800
last season.
Cochrane behind the bat has been the
Torrance overshadowing all that went
before.
sisler batted 400 and stole. hfty-one
bases in 1922. which was the last great
year for one Of the games brightest
stars. His all-round work that season
stands out as the best by first base
man in all baseball history.
Hornsby had his greatest season in 1924.
when he batted for a mark of .424 and
still was nimble enough to hold his own
in a defensive way. Hornsby hatted above
$50 in six of the seven seasons which
earned him a place on these teams.
1t was tough figuring at third with
Trayuor. LindStrom and Frisch rating so
much consideration. I picked Traynor on
his combined defensive and hitting power
in 1929.
Joe Cronin last year gave the greatest
exhibition of all-round skill that any
shortstop displayed in these nine years.
The simons Of 1880 needs no expla,
! nation. I already have explained Cobbs'
right TO the center field berth. Heilmann
hit. .4o3 in 1923 and that gives him the
other outfield position.
