HONUS WAGNER 1S T0O BUSY TO GROW FROWSY Won't Say Much About Baseball Players of Present Day By ROBERT MYERS LOS ANGELES, Cal, March 30— 0Old Honus Wagner waggled his how- legs cff the field where the Pitts- burgh Pirates were holding batting practice and slipped into the dress- ing room for a fresh supply of chew- acco and a quiet chat, red but still as peppery as a rookie, he is 64 years old and has spent 47 years in baseball. Twenty-one of those years were spent in active play and brought _ fame to the “Flying Dutchman” as perhaps the greatest shortstop in the history of the game, The record books are littered 20 With Wagner’s feats—how he never batted less than .300 in 21 years, how he led Nutional league batters for eight years, stole more bases than anyone else for four years, and so0 on and on. But as for getting Hans to com- pare these accomplishinents, or those of the other stars of his day with the present generation of ball-players, well, it’s no go. Did he think, as did another old- timer, Chief Bender, that Joe Di- maggio should wait a few more years before demanding $40,000 ¢ season, or that young Bob FPelie was paid too much? “I never get into those things,’ said Wagner, craftily. hat they do is none of my business. What about today’s batters? Did they have to be as shrewd as, for instance, Wagner himself, when he faced such pitching immortals as Christy Mathewson, Cy Young, Rube Marquard, Grover Cleveland Alex- ander or “Iron Man" McGinnity? “Oh, I guess these present lads will do.” There was a faint, ever s0 faint, trace of doubt. “We had | to watch out, you know, in the old days. They threw us emery balls, spit balls, mud balls, all kinds of balls, but we've got some mighty good batters playing today.” Apparently there is little living in the past for old Honus. As coach of the Pirates, the club he joined in 1900 and quit active playing with in 1917, he is too busy to grow frowsy. | R e CARD OF APPRECIATION We wish to acknowledge our ap- preciation to our friends in Doug- las and Juneau who took part in our House Warming Party last Sun- day night, for the good time show: us. adv.

Instead of throwing his bedroom slippers at the dog, he put them on, wrapped himself in a bathrobe and brought the animal to his warm room. The barking stopped, but the dog's owner, Fred Pahlke, soon ap- peared with Policeman Michael Kerwin and had Bell charged with stealing his pet. $18,000 PAID FOR LEG LOSS LOS ANGELES, March 30. — “Ij was going to be married, but, of course, that is all off now.” Minus one ley.
