- ing an al uIHGiltt WIVES
H. F., how would team
picked from the two squads
that meet at the Polo
Grounds compare with a team picked
from other years? Hasn't base ball
improved Just as other sports have?"
This won't decide any argument,
1t will only help to start one.
Suppose the pick of the two star
teams that meet this year had to
meet the following;
Catchers-Kling and Breshnahan.
Observation-Disclosures j o h S N,
Walsh, WaddelI and Alexander.
First baSe-SiSler or Chase.
Second base-Eddie Collins.
Short stop-Honus Wagner.
Third base-Jimmy Collins.
Outheld-Cobb, Speaker, jackson,
Sheckard
My vote would go to this team
against any picked outfit that might
be named today
Gomez and Hubbell and others can
handle their share of pitching, but
that old-time staff, in its prime,
would be even harder to hit or break
down-even with Gehrig. Foxx, Ruth,
Gehringer, Terry. Klein. OFT and
Manush taking their cut at the ball.
Slipping a hit through this
infield or hammering one by
the outfieId named would be
something of an order to fill.
Base ball never has seen a bet
ter hitting fielding combination
around second than Collins and
Wagner.
For all that, the 1894 menu offered
all the choice that any one could
want. The time may come when
there will be a preliminary world
series played on this same basis.
Why not?

The Largest Season.

Inc AdIBcst 00aSOhs
Unless there is sudden turn In
the general situation where some
one team in each league puts on
a runaway act, base ball is headed for
its biggest season as far as attendance
records go.
New York, Boston, Detroit and
Cleveland are far ahead of other
years-at least the last three are.
Chicago has been playing to a big
trade and st. Louis has picked up
considerably.
The combined attendance totals
of the two leagues should run into
record figures If the bunched-up
standings remain unchanged a few
weeks longer.
Boston, always a great ball town,
has finally drawn pair of teams
worth looking at.

a rather pessimistic outlook on
what is to be. The players
realize that the struggle TO get some

a mater of fact. there are just about
two players who are fighting their
way through the games They are
Joe Cronin. the manager himself, and
Buddy Myer, at second base.
Heinie Manush, playing left field,
is doing what he can to make a de-
cent fielding average and doing much
more at the plate. Manush senses a
great opportunity to lead the league
at bat this season and will swing for
all he is worth. After all, 1t does pay
q man to lead his league with the
war club. The owners pay of on
that stuff in the Winter.
There is a noticeable lack Of en-
thusiasm in this Washington bali club
at present. The players seem to think
that, with the pennant obviously far
removed. there is no reason to drive
and strive for the laurels. Unless
there Is an honest rejuvenation In
