McGRAW, Manager New York Giants, Three Times World Champions. (Beleassd Exclusively Through the North Amerloan Newspaper Allisace.) The Al-Naional League Team of Thirty Years. Rucker Was First to Pitch “Floater”’—Dele- hanty Was the Babe Ruth of His Day. T will be noticed that my selec- I tion of players to 'make up a team of All-National League stars of the past thirty years in- clues most of those on my grand All-American team of all times. The reason for that is obvious. Most of the great players of the past had to play in the National League at some time or other, because it was the only major league up to 1900. Here is my list: Catehers—Buck Ewing and Roger Bresnahan, Pitehers—Christy Mathewson, John McMahon, John Clarkson and Napo- {leon Rucker, First base—Frank Chance, Second base—Rogers Hormaby. Shortstop—Hans Wagner. Third base—Jimmy Collins. Left field—Hugh Duffy. Center field—Ed Delehanty. Right field—Wilile Keeler. stitute Outfielder—Joe Kelley. Subat.ture Infielder—Frank Friach. Already I have explained my choics of many of these players in the grand all-American team. With the excep- tion of Nap Rucker, the pitchers and the catchers are the same. I have included Rucker be his greatness in the Nat!onal Leaguo during tke period of its greatest growth. He never played in any other league. Rucker was easliy slow-ball seen. He relled on that tantalizing floater almost solely in critical mo- ments. Occasionally he would serve use of the greatest @ swifter ball, but even that was only | a half-speed delivery—just enough to be a foil for his teasers Was Master of “Sailer.” Of course. you know that Rucker was & southpaw. Originaliy he used considerable speed, but as his arm be- came weaker he was wise enough to appreciate that he could not last much longer unless he conserved his Thereupon he chifted to ball, and, with perfect con- a better pitcher than ever. ilized a “sailer” that seemed to hang In the air as if he had tied a string to it. Many a batter almost broke his back swinging at that ball before it got to him. He felt sure that he could knock it out of tho lot, it appeared so big and so easv. There have been other slow-ball pitchers of note, but Rucker had the most aggravating delivery of them all. “Why, Rucker can make that ball talk,” 1 heard one dumbfounded bat- ARMY TOSSERS FAVORED TO BEAT NAVY TODAY ANNAPOLIS, Md., February 28— Uncle Sam's basket ball tossers will play their final game of the year here this afternoon, when the Midshipmen play the West Point Cadets. Army, by virtue of ts clean slate ~—having won sixteen consecutive Sames—is favored to beat Navy, which has lost to University of Pennsylvania and Catholic Uni- versit . It will be the fifth meeting of the teams, VANGUARD OF CARDS STARTS FOR THE SOUTH ST. LOUIS, February 24.—The van- guard of the St. Louls Cardinals, com- posed of thirteen recruits and three regulars, will depart late today for the training camp at Bradentown, Fla. Burt Shotten will have charge. Manager Branch Rickey, convalescing from "an operation for apendicitis, sald he expected to be at the camp soon. Rickey sald the Cardinals exper: enced no differences over salary wi the players this year. While the Cardinals werc pre- paring_to leave members of the Bt Louis Browns were arriving for de- arture with the Browns' first equad onday morning. APPALACHIAN LEAGUE WILL OPEN ON MAY 10 JOHNSON CITY, Tenn, February 24. — Appalachian Base Ball League direotors have taken over the fran- chise of the Cleveland club and will award it either to Morristown, Ashe- ville, N. C.,, or Maryville; a committee being named to select the town of- fering the best proposition. Dr. S. E. Massengil of Bristol was elected league president. The season is to open May 10, with a schedule of 108 games, with a league composed of Knoxville, Bristol, Kingsport, Greene- ville, Johnson City and a sixth town to be selected. CHERRYDALE NINE BUSY. Cherrydale Athletio Club, winner of the Arlington county, V’, base ball championship last i will meet next ‘ednesday night at 8 o'clock in Firemen’s Hall, at Cherrydal - ficers will be elected and base ball plans discussed.

As 1il fortune would have it Rucker never got to pitch on & cham- plonship team. He did come back as a coach and was allowed to go In for a few minutes when Brooklyn got in the world series. But that was after his uscfulness had waned. i ¥Frank Chance a Scrapper, H Frank Crance, In my opinion, is eastly entitled to the place as all- Natlonal League first baseman. He was manager of the Cubs in the days of our great riva'ry. Those were | tough, fighting days—cvery game a iscrapping event. There was no weak- {ening or quitting of a team on either |s1de, Frank Chance least of them all He was always there with the goods as a hitter, a ficlder and a base run- ner.

Therc has been {50 much talk ubout Hornsby as a bat- ter that attention seems to have besn diverted from his recond base play and base running., This wonderful Texan is a muckh greater fielder and ibase stealer than the fans seem ‘o |appreciate. He has everything—is al- imost the perfect ball player. There 3 no hesitation on my part in select- Hornsby. t will be noticed that the name o® Jimmy Collins appears on both m clubs. It will also appear on the all- American league team, to be given later. This may be puzzling to some of the younger fans, who regard {Jimmy Collins s an Americar i Leaguer. “Trey do not realize, per- haps, that Jiramy Collins rose to real ! greatness while 1 the National League.

INSIDE GOLF By George O'Neil ‘When you turn the head slightly 1o the left as you take your club up the detail of keeping your gase on the ball—an all-important de- tatl—will be much better accom- plished. You will fiud that the eyes can mee the ball without the sceming effort that often is re- quired. This results from the fact, as you perhaps have mever xuessed, that you have permitted the head to move to the right with the up-swing of the club. When you get this left-turn swing of the head machined off properly it will become not so much an actual turn of the head as it is a slixht tensing of the neck muscles. ‘The turn should be just ®0 much that the eyes ace the hall with a straight-on gase.
