As the writer predicted, the betting has failed to reflect th sentiments of a lot of the critics who have a habit of picking Greb on the short end of any battle in which he enters.

One may fmagine that all this is not dis- tasteful to those who are EOIng to bet on Tunney, inasmuch as a fighter who goes into the ring with the double burden of pleasing a hyper- critical refree and beating an opp: nent has a real job on his hands Chairman Muldoon has not named the referee for the fight as yet and probably won't until the last moment. scented is this game of pugilism that the state athletic com mission has deem it the part of di: cretion Tot to let certain gent know who will be the third man until shortly before a bout starts. expedient, by the way, has helped a 1ot to make boxing cleaner.

Although Brower's activities with the Gritfmen were confined largely | to outfielding, due to the presence here of the capable Josephus Judge, it was at the initial corner that Turkey put in most of his time when he was earning slugging honors with Reading, and he always has said that if given an opportunity to play regularly, no matter where, he would guarantee to carve a batting average of 335.

Grant’s Career Picturesque. George Washington Grant, from whom Christy Mathewson and his associates have just purchased the Boston Braves, has had a most pic- turesque career. It began in Cin- cinnati when, as an office boy, he used to carry message for Ban Tohnson, at that time sporting edi- tor of a newspaper there. Grant later became conductor ori a horse car in Cincinnati, and, after becom- ing well acquainted with the horse- men at the Latonia track, across the river from the city, acquired a rac- ing stable and came east. Subse- quently. Grant became manager of Norman Selby, better known as Kid McCoy, and piloted his affairs when McCoy appeared in many of his most important ring engagements. Later Grant became a broker in New York, and prior to entering base ball took a flier in the movie in- dustry. Matty Answers Skeptics. In answer to the natural skepti- cism felt by Boston fans over the change in ownership of the Braves, whereby Mathewson, who needed| financial aid to wage his long fight against disease, becomes president o¥ the club, Bix Six has the follow- in” to say: Ehp 5 T can see that it is quite logical for Boston base ball fans to surmise that the New York Giant manage- ment is behind the move.

I would not have considered for one moment a re- turn to the game If I was not to act purely on my own initiative, I am back in base ball Xecause I love the game and beciuxe sy physi- clans have told me I could do so.” Chance Has Right Idea. Far from being dismayed wt the job confronting him as pilot of the ,goiug about the task in a spirit that promises to_largely overcome an- tipathy of Hub fans to the club Chance has no illusions regarding a pennant, or even landing in the first division, but is confident he can give Boston fans a team they will feel like root- ing for. “It is not so hard to work with a nine like that as it is with one of which a championship is expected,” says Chance. “Where they look for a pennant, they look for pennant base ball every day in the week, but where they look for a ball club they may look for nothing more than a fight, and that is what we are going to give them. A good, fighting team leads to something better, and I'm going to try and give Boston a team that will put out the best that it can all of the time.” That's exactly what Donle Bush will try to do for Washington fans ‘with the National ‘The midget and the Peerlexs Leader have much in common this ye: Griff's Rookles Balking. ‘With Catcher Pete Lapan added to the lixt of players signed to Washington contracts there now re only three outside the fold— Pitcher Dad Hankins, Pitcher God- frey Brogan and Third Baseman Bili Conroy.

It will be recalled that Brogan 1axt fall refused to come to Wash- ington for a preliminary inspection because the Charleston club of the Sally League refused to give him a share of his purchase price, $5,000. In addition to demanding that his claim aguinst Charleston be ad- justed, Brogan has informed Grif- fith that a recent iliness has left him in poor condition, xo that the littie wouthpuw who “resembles Dick Kerr” as at pitcher and “may prove another Chariey Jamieson with the bat,” may be conspicuous by his absemce when the roll is called at Plant Field next Thurs- day. Conroy’s case unquestionably has to do with money. Although Presi- dent Grifith makes it a rule mot to discuss for publication financial arrangements between the club and its players the fallure of Con roy to ‘aboard the band wagon can mean only one thing, that he is demanding more coin of the realm than he is thought to be worth. Griff contends that no player is a hold-out until he refuses to show t the time designated, case of Conroy is March 7. view of the fact that Wade and Hollingsworth, his team mates at Minnea; , aoccepted terms with lttle delay, Conroy's refusal to sign indicates his de- mands are unreasomable for & rookie who has yet to demonstrate that he ean make good in a big league.

Analyzing the Players on McGraw’s Champion- ship Team of All Time. Infielders and Outfield- ers Who Contributed Innovations to Game. DOUBT ii anybody will dispute my selection of Eddie Collins as the greatest second baseman of all time and, therefore, entitled to a place on the all-American team of all time. At any rate, there is no doubt in my mind about it. In pick- ing him I have been fully mindful of the greatness of such men as poleon Lajoie. It's pretty hard to select any team and leave Lajoie off. Still, Eddie Collins, in my opinion, is_entitled to the honor. There Is nothing that Collins does not know about playing that impor- tant position. The Giants played against Eddle in several world cham- plonship games in which we were de- feated. 1 have been a stanch ad. mirer of that young man's abllity ever gince.

Steuart, President chapter to show that I think Hans Wagner the greatest ball player that ever lived, regardless of position, If Wagner had any weakness as & batter we never discovered it. On occasions he would strike out on an outcurve. The next time up he was likely to hit the same kind of a curve out of the lot. Wagner had a fhculty of hitting bad balls as weil as good ones. He would make up his mind to hit, and hit he would, regardless of what the pitcher gave him. He always: stood in the far corner of the box and would run into the ball, swinging with a deadly accuracy. On the defensive, Wagner could throw from any position, and he had a pair of hands that never tfafled him. 1t was a common saying among ball players that Wagner never made a wild peg in his life. Hans Wagner will go down in base ball history as the greatest of all time. I believe that he could have played several more years than he did. Jimmy Collins at Third. There have been many great third basemen, and 1 have had several on my teams, but in my mind there IS no question that the honor of the All-America third baseman of all time should go to Jimmy Collins. 1In cidentally, Jimmy Collins and Eddie Collins are not related 1 select Jimmy for his general ex- cellence as a fielder, a hitter and & man. He was a great fellow on and off the fleld and a credit to base ball. Jimmy Collins was particularly adept at going for bunts. The art of bunt- ing had just come into being when Collins began playing third base and he was one of the first to solve this style of play. 1 remember well a game in which we had the 0ppos- ing third baseman standing on his head trying to handle these tantal- izing little jabs. Collins was playing the outfleld.” He was called in. Ina few innings, it seemed, he had com- pletely blocked our efforts. Jimmy Collins was an originator— | the real pioneer of the modern style |of playing third base. He is clearly entitled to the All-America honor. Hugh Duffy and Ty Cobb. In the outfleld I have selected Hugh Dufty of the old Boston champio the All-America left fielder. F: today do not remember Duffy quite so well as the older men, but they should. Not only was he a marv ous flelder, but he was one of the |hardest hitters the game has ever known.

After they won the chp pionship in 1887 and 1398, though, was shifted to left field and play there to the end of his career. Duff is one of the few men to hit as high as .400.

God rest his soul! It has been very hard to leave Joe Kelley off that regular outfield. In recognition of his greathess and to do him justice I have placed him on my All-American team as the extra outflelder. From my personal association with Kelley on the old Orioles and from my daily observation of his work 1 am strongly convinced that Joe in his day was as good a man for the position as any of those who preceded him or followed him. In considering this matter I have gone over all the great ones, including such men as George Burns, Jimmy McAleer and many others. Some of them were weak in certaln spots, like hitting or base running. Joe had no prominent veakness. He was-fast on the bases, could hit the ball hard and was as graceful an outflelder as one would care to see. He covered an immense amount of ground and had that nec- essary faculty, so prominent in eaker and others, of being able to place himself where the batter would be likely to hit the ball. Joo Kelley was a great ball player. L wouldn't be satisfled If I didn't have him on my all-star team. I have a hunch that some old friends—maybe some old strangers— will write in and ask me to explain why I left certain men off my team. It is enough to explain my selections. It would be impossible to discuss those left off. In the next chapter I will explain my selection of pitchers.
