'HARRIS AND RICE PLACED " /AMONG FIRST 20 PLAYERS | Centennial “ seems Goslin One of Base Ball’s “Ten Best” : Corn Sirup No Aid to Calloused Bowler S DUCKPIN LOOPS Veteran Stars Such as Cobb and Collins Overlooked | in List of Present Day Luminaries Named by Big League ] BY GEORGE CHADWICK. HO are the ten leading base | ball players today At a time when ca foot hall teams picked hy the score, it pertinent to give hase ball gomething of a look-in and provide more fodder for stove league argu- | ve heing | These are Wane Tanager. The significance of these twenty se- lections is that they embrace but four players who may be considsred as ac tually of the very younger generation | “Thevenow, Manush and Simmons. o Frisch, who came in in 1919, and (Fitz. Wright and Bot | tomley are not as experienced as some “ ments. X | A-major league ma who has wean his championships, was asked hy the writer if he would name the ten teading base ball players. He prompt 3w countered by stipulating that if he did so his name should not be men tioned, heacuse of “professional cour tesy Here are the ten: Ruth, New York Americans Simong, Philadelphia Amer . Pittsburgh. “uyler. Pittsburgh. Wright, Pittshurgh. Hornsby, St. Louis Thevenow. St. Loui: Manush, Detroit. Heilman, Detroit. Goslin, Washington. | Thus Ty Cobb, Eddie Collins and Mris Speaker were eliminated, but Cobb and Collins have retired as man- agers and Speaker was displaced in favor of Manush. No pitchers were to be included in the list. The promotion of Thevenow to such prominence was unexpected, and the major league manager was asked why the young St. Louis shortstop was so elevated. “Because his reputation is estab- lished,” was the immediate reply. “He ‘made a championship team out of St. Louis and made St. Louis a world championship team.” Ten Next Best Players. Then the manager asked the lege of naming the next ten playe; of superior attainments, and'he select- Nationals. Nationals. *ed these: ‘Waner, Pittsburgh Frisch, New York Nationals.

[ auite alike nor | human apprecis of the others, although Wright had a fair minor league career hefore he went to Pittsburgh. Frisch had ‘no minor league service. Other Pilots May Disagree. Other m: gers may not he able to “see” these selecti There Is very little argument betwean human beings in regard to the qualities of athletes, | hecause there are no two pairs of eves | a set standard of | fon. Still, it is fair- Iy true that the cream of the ball play- | ers is embraced in the score listed | above, | Significant in this naming of star players is the fact that so many clubs have no player on the list. Even the veteran Zack Wheat of Brooklyn is passed by, despite the fact that he has been one of the hardest batters in all the vears of his service. Greater significance lies in the fact that so few players have heen produc ed in recent years who can be classi fied among the first twenty. The most talked of player since the war has been Babe Ruth, and within the last five years there has been no player produced who bids fair to be- come a rival to Ruth. Good players have materialized, but none who is sensational, like a Cobb. One Star a Year Is Limit. 1t was John J. McGraw who once said that if a star player were de- veloped each year in each major league the season Was a good one. That seems to he a deplorable mini- mum when there are sixteen clubs seeking stars, but recent base ball history seems to indicate that even this mark has not been attained. It is quite evident that no Cohbs, Speakers, Collinses and so on, are | among the younger plavers who are coming up for the 1927 season, and there are none in sight in the minor leagues who are on the way to star- dom in 1928, (Covyrisht. 1926.) KING PINS SETTING DISTRICT LOOP PACE After 12 weeks of a brisk campalgn the District League duckpin teams will recess until after the holidays with the King Pin club topping the renowned Government Printing Office five by a margin of 105 pins, both teams having won and- Jost the same number of games. This is the first time that the Printers have heen ousted from the lead and the King Pins are thankful for their 1,877 record set for putting them on top after a had start that saw them floundering around in sixth and seventh places.

HE Kid looked up question- ingly as the Old Timer limped about the alley “Why the charleyhoss promenade?” he asked. “Are vou trying to alibi that 270 eet you rolled the other night?" “No, it's just corns,” groaned the Old Timer. " “I should have known what would happen when I let you razz me into coming out to bowl the other day. when I was breaking in a new pair of doghouses.” “Why don't you do something for them?” demanded the Kid, referring to the corns and not the shoes. “Do something!” repeated the Old Timer, indignantly. “Say, 11 cans of corn sirup already and it didn’t do one bit of good.” “No?" said the Kid, sympatheti- “Why don't you try corn flakes for breakfust: they might help. For that matter, I could probably get vou a little corn juice that, while it might not ctre the corns, would certainly make you forget 'em “Well,” said the Old Timer, “may- | be I can limber up the old canines by handing you a couple of lickings; it'll cheér me up, anyway.” They bowled in comparative silence for a time, the Old Timer apparently being in no humor for conversation. %| Finally the Kid got up and looked intently at the score sheet after the Old Timer had chalked up his count. Figures Don't Lie, But— “Figures don't lie,” he remarked, significantly, “but some ljars sure do figure.” # 1, where's the blueprint that goes with that remark?’ demanded the Old Timer. “Don't you with that: score sheet? Kid, ‘The Old Timer looked it over care- fully. “It looks all right to me,” he said, see anvthing wrong ked the bians from a defeat at the hands of the Hilltoppers in the first tilt of that postponed match Friday night. Flor- ence had that speed ball working nicely and scored a timely 116 to clinch the game for the champs, at | the same time adding a few pjns to her average with a neat 301 set. Edna Ragan of the Hiltoppers car- ried off the honors for both high game and set, however, when she toppled ‘| the maples for a nifty 127 in the ;Iln]al clash and a three-game total of Lorraine Gulli seems to be getting into her stride finally, with the result that her average has jumped from 101 to just one pin under 104 in the short space-of two weeks. Two successive sets of 335 and a 319 is evidence of pretty acurate pinning. Capt. Quaites and Bertha Greevy did some effective work for the Bronchos to take three straight from the Climbers. The former shot 301, with high game at 110, while her teammate averaged just 100 for the set, with 111 as her best single count. Cecilia Stansfield of the Frankies made a determined effort to put her team in the running in their battle with the Columbians, socking the maples for three nice counts of 111, 96 and 105. She garnered a 312 string to increase her average several points. Edna Bailey of the Nationals was responsible for her team's triumph over the Kumbacks.
