HERE is one of the rare pictures
i i of the base ball collection which
is the basis of this series Of
Shadows of the Past. 1t shows
Duffy Lewis in his happy heyday
with the Boston Red Rox, the Fen
way Fusileers of an era when the
Red Sox were the most feared outfit
in the majors.
Here you see the great right
handed hitter who with Iris Speaker
and Harry Hooper composed what
base ball experts call the greatest
outfield of all time.
There has been lot Of specula-
ton as to the standing which the
current Pittsburgh outfield, with the
two Waners and Freddy Lindstrom,
merits in the all-time listing Of out
fields. But they do not come close
to matching Hooper, Speaker and
Lewis of the world champion Red
Sox OF 1912, who beat the Giants In
that memorable series Of eight
games, with one going to tie, and
