THE SPORTLIGHT
Great Athletes Have Come and Gone,
But Hagen and Ruth Prove ''Perpetual."
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

T@HE year 1914 happens to be the
one in which number OF guns
suddenly started blazing. 1t
was a year that is now begin
ming to take on the aspects of long
time ago. Ty Cobb was in his prime
and Bobby Jones was unknown. So
was Jack Dempsey. then a slender
young midleweight.
Gene Tunney was an unknown kid.
Bill Tilden was just starting. And
1914 also was the year young fellow
named Walter Hagen won his first
open at Midlothian and another young
fellow named Babe Ruth began warm
ing up for the Boston Red Sox.
Since that date championship
careers have come and gone. Stars
have marc against the skyline and
have over the hill.
But Babe of 1914 still is hitting
his homers and grabbing the head
lines
And only few days ago. Hagen put
on a competitive blast at the Cavalier
Country Club, Virginia, that netted a
64-66-65 for three consecutive rounds
"a matter of 81 under par for a
testing layout.
The manner in which this
pair-Ruth and Hagen-have
stuck to the spotlight is one of
the most amazing stories of
sport.
In addition to their skill and power
they have carried an incredible amount
of stamina through the 81 years Of
hard pressure competition both have
known.
Both still have to be reckoned with
any time they start. Both still carry
the crowds, not as worn-out relics of
another day or another year. but as
entries quite capable of holding their
own in select circles.
1t is doubtful if sport has ever known
such a combination of skill, color and
stamina as the Babe and the Haig
have shown, barring Ty Cobb
Jack Dempsey knew only seven
championship years. Tilden has been

the West, Myer has hit for 1888.
Among Buddy's hits have been five
doubles, a triple and a home run.
This display of power has been most
helpful to the Nationals cause. Myer
has figured in the scoring of 26 runs.

most spectacular competitions of the

will be ready for an extended rest

Rated Among Top Ten.

FYER today not only is the key
N man and the spark plug of
the Washington infeld, but
also he is the finest ball player per-
forming with the Nationals. Deservedly
he might be accorded the honor of
ranking among the 10 best ball players
in the American League. No stretch
of imagination is necessary to rate
him that high.
Should Myer maintain his present
splendid pace another six weeks a
berth on the American Leagues all
star team rightfully would be his.
Unfortunately the fans in picking the
players for the great inter-league
game look more to the records of other
years than these of the present pen
nant races. The fans seem to prefer
choosing players for what they have
done rather than what they are doing
Giving consideration to what is
being done this season, however, the
fans certainly should recognize in
Buddy Myer, Washington's sparkling
captain and second baseman, a great
ball player.
