tween a volley and a haircut knows
that Vines knows he is one of the
ten greatest players ever produced.
And the same goes for Perry. Yet
each omits himself, which causes
me to believe they are either daffy,
insincere, or just pair of shrink
ing violets seeking a messy stone.
I believe the answer must be
insincerity, else how could Vines
place Perry second on his list, when
Perry is a man who he beats half
the time? And what else could
prompt Perry to name Vines second,
when Ellsworth is a man he holds
his own with?
The one consolation in such be-
havior by the Messrs. Vines and
Perry is that they are holding fast
to one of sports Silliest traditions.
Ask Babe Ruth to name an all
time baseball team and the fat one
will reel you off a nine that does
not have the name of Ruth in right
field. I would hate to hang by my
thumbs until Ruth, in his heart
was convinced that he didn't belong
on any and all all-star baseball
teams.
Certainly there was nothing mod

Cling with Colonel Jacob Rupert
over the mattery of salary. I don't
ever remember his denying his true
worth in those days. He shouted il
from the housetops, and was al
ways looking for a newer and high
er housetop.
But they all do it. Bobby Jones
must have selected three gross OF
all-time golf teams in his day, and
yet his name never was on one OF
them. Which, of course, is just az
absurd as it would have been fol-
Napoleon to leave himself off ar
all-star military team, or Mickey
Mouse to modestly omit his name
in an all-rodent list.
I feel / can criticize the sports
heroes for false modesty, because
I never was guilty of the charge
myself When I was bean bag and
squat tag champion I was never
one to hide my light under q
bushel. Every all-star bean bag oi
squat tag team ever named was
headed by the name Henry Nc

to win by a one sided score. But
