Sixteenth of a series
BY HARRY CRAYSON
NEA Sports Editor

Roger p. Bresnahan was far
and away the most versatile
player of the game. No other
ball player could do everything
quite as well.
Bresnahan was pitcher who
became a catcher and could play
any infield or outfield position
with equal skill. The Duke of
Tralee, so called because he was
born in the town of that name
on the west coast of Ireland,
played center field for John j.
McGraw and the immortal Balti
more Orioles and New York Gil
ants, which gives you rough
idea of his capabilities as fly
chaser.
Bresnahan was a fine broth Of
lad when he led off, batted
$50 and stole "a bases for the
Giants Of 1908.
The handsome Mick stood 5
feet 9 ID, weighed 1870 pounds.
had big, powerful legs, yet was
swift enough to have won
sprints in most any track meet.
Extremely aggressive, Bresna-
han. a right-hand hitter. crowd
ed the plate with a short, thick
bat in his wcll-developed hands.
His bat had the thick handle pre-
ferrcd by many players of his
day. He always was a choke
hitter, and his trcn endouS
strength gave him distance in
all directions.
HE DEVISED SHIN GUARDS
Bresnahan was absolutely
fearless. Pitchers could not
drive him away from the plate
Andy Coakley nearly killed
Roger with fast ball that
struck him behind the car in
Cincinnati in 1907. He was out
80. days.
II happened TO be pitching
when he returned 10 the game, y
recalls the veteran Columbia
coach. He settled for two hits
that afternoon"
Bresnahan was highly in
telligent man, and McGraw let

manage the st. Louis Cardinals,

Eagles, Lions Attempt
10 Lure Johnny Drake

DETROIT (P) The Phila-
delphia Eagles, seeking TO lure
John Drake into football from
his Detroit war job, have offered
the former Purdue fullback an
unusual contract whose pro-
visions call for appearance only
on Sundays. Yet it may we'll be
model for future pro grid con-
tracts.
Philadelphia acquired Drake
when the Cleveland Rams fold
ed, but the Detroit Lions are re-
ported to be making an offer to
get him from the Eagles.

Four Hits as Notes
Triumph. 5 to !
WATSON SPOELSTRA

DETROIT, May b - tAD-The
old saw about big things coming
in little packages is gilt-edged
truism for the Detroit Tigers.
The Tigers happen to own the
shortest pitcher on the Major
League scene-five-foot, seven
inch Frank (Stub) Overmire, a
rookie Southpaw who has made
two American League starts and
has two easy victories. Yester-
day he dished up four-hitter to
beat the Brownies at ST. Louis,
) TO !
Aside fro m proportions,
Overmire is really surprise
package. The Tigers plucked
him out of their backyard or
chard for mere $500 at about
the same time they and most
other clubs were knocking
each other down to get to
Dick Wakefield, another De-
trOit rookie who received
fabulous $4,000 for his con-
tract.
While Wakefield was batting
Michigan to a Western confer
ence title in 194l, Overmire was
doing all sorts of pitching stunts
for relatively obscure Western
Michigan college at Kalamazoo,
Mich, big league school when
it comes % baseball, however.
The scouts didn't give the little
man a tumble.
A. j. (Wish) Egan, veteran
Tiger ivory hunter, had tabulat-
ed Overmire's FL college victor
les, including a no-hitter against
only five defeats, and after
Wakefield was signed he hus-
tied out to see Overmire. The
Tigers agreed to clean up some
unpaid college bills of approx
mately S400, and a few hours
later Overmire was enroute to
Muskegon of the Michigan
State league He won IL and
lost four there.

48 Native-Bor Signers
And as States in Union

When the Sc signers of the Dec
laration of Independence stepped
forward to affix their signatures to
that priceless document, it is quite
improbable that any of them thought
that the United States would some
day consist of exactly the same
number of states that was represent
ed by the American-born signers.
It is a curious fact that exactly
48 Of the signers were born in this
country, which OF course, exactly
corresponds with the number of
states in the Union now
OF those eight other signers, three
came from Ireland, two each from
England and Scotland, ending with
one from Wales.
The majority of the signers were
men of law, the barristers narrowly
winning out in the race, with Is
signers as against Is lawyers. An
other group won out with the same
close margin of one, when as the
record shows, farmers were repre-
sented Dy only eight OF their num-
Der, while the merchants listed nine
business men.
Strangely enough, the military
service had only two soldier-signers.
The list ended with one college pres
ident, printer, brewer and manu-
facturer. The oldest living mem
Der was George Wythe, lawyer,
born in Elizabeth City, Va, who
died in 1906. He was then 80 years
old.

The new and powerful electron mi

enabled Doctors Morton and Ander-
