From the bushes 10 major league
kingdoms and back again 10 the
buckleberry circuits might be as
good a way as any 10 start a
story OF Rogers HornSby, one oil
the greatest ball players that ever
hit the big time.
As a hitter he was without a
peer in his day, especially during
those years when he was plotting
the ST. Louis Cardinals TO pen
nantS. He made the major league
rounds. with ups and downs, and
next season will be back down in
Texas from whence he came
originally. lie will manage the
Fort Worth club.
HornSby'S career in the major
leagues for the benefit of those
who came in epitomized the
ball players idea of Utopia. lie
was both a great ball player and
a great manager and he got the
adulation due him. There were
some tough spots in his career
too. but they were more than off
set by the heights he attained
\ One OF the things that nobody
ever would or ever will take away
from him is that he stands among
the SmarteSt men ever 10 dig Z

other story.

Then I'd take Ted Williams Of

Sure Dickey is a little old as
