A hard-hit ball calls for. the best that is i the out- fielder in the way of judgment and perfect mechanical execution, For nearly 20 years Tris Speaker, now managing the Cleveland club, has been rated the perfect fielder. Uncanny judgment, good sps and nearly perfect mechanical ablility have made Speaker the master out- fielder. Ty Cobb, generally regarded as the greatest player of all time, has not only been a star in the fleld but in every other department of the game. Throughout his career he has teem- ed with color, \ Then along came Ruth. Right now the Babe is baseball's most talked about individual, has been for several years. First a pitcher, then an outfielder of parts, now baseball's premier slugger, Ruth is the idol of fandom. Four Stars Are Passing. Eddie Roush of the Cincinnati Reds, while perhaps lacking the col- or of the above named trio, is none the less valuable. These four great players are golng the otherway. 8peaker and Cobb, at the very best, only have a few years left., g Who will take the places of these stars? + The National league already has in nomination two recruits, Hazen Cuyler of Pittsburgh and. “Hack Wilson of the New York Gianta, The American. league presents Earl Combs, who unfortunately for himself and the Yankees, suffered a broken leg in mid-season. Combs 1 regard as the best-looking young outfielder that has broken into the American league in 10 years. 1t is rather unusual that one sea- son should produce three such likely stars as Cuyler, Wilson and Combs. Rookies Displace Veterans Cuyler and Wiison did the unex- pected by displacing star veterans in their first year. At Pittsburgh Big- bee gave way to Cuyler, while Wil- son for a while beat out the brilliant Billy Southworth for the center field position at New York. Although Wilson was benched recently, he is expected to recover from his tem- porary slump.soon and get back in the game. While Combs was injured before he had won a regular berth in the Yankee outfit, there was no way, of keeping him out, At the time of his injury he wag leading the Ameri- can league in batting. He had also showed great fielding ability and enough speed to be rated one of the fastest men in the game. Cuyler, Wilson and Combs form an outfield trio that any major league club would weicome. These rookie stars are being tout- ed as the successors to Cobb, Speak- er, Roush and Ruth. However, it takes more than one big year to de- serve so high a rating.

Dressel and Christensen wqn the doubles championship yes- terday afternoon by defeating Kron and Van Oppen in straight, 6-2, 6- 947. Christensen's all-around play- ing featured the match; he excelled alike at drives from, the back court anl volleying at the net. Every point | That’s What No team ever won a champion- ship without a great catcher behind the bat, (Which is where all great catchers should be, of .course). ‘Washington has one of the greatest catchers in baseball in the person of Muddy Ruel. Indeed some .experts call him the outstanding catcher of the year, now that Schalk, Perkins, O'Nelll and other veterans have slip- ped materially. Ruel, quite naturally, has been an important factor in the Washingtons' sensational stand. Waterbury Has Special Tickets for Contests Waterbury, Sept. 22,~—Owing to an insistent demand from Eastern league fans in other cities as well as here, the minagement of Waterbury baseball ¢lub has decided to set aside a block of 350 reserved seats for each of the three games with Baltimore here on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Groh injured his knee in Friday's game-against the Cubs and Frisch sprained a finger on ‘his right hand in yesterday's contest against the same team. McGraw did not give up hope of having the men in the important series with the Pirates which begins tomorrow until he received a report from the club's physician today. The line-up which faced Chicago today will continue, McGraw said. Kelly replaced Frisch at second base, Lindstrom was at third In place of Groh, and O'Connell took Kelly's centerfield.

Eddle MHariewe, New Britain's heavy hitting outfielder, is the win- ner of the Connecticut league batting ohunalonlhlp, u;cordin' to ofticial figures complied.” Wearing the swat- ting crown by virtue of an average of .357, Harlowe finished the season five points ahead of Ray Holden, field leader_of the Torrington Tigers who shared the batting leadership throughout most of the season with Harlowe, , v A sensation at the finish was Adams, of Willimantic, who remain- ed modestly among the .300 hitters all season until the last few gam when he went on a hitting tear an challenged Harlowe and Hoeden who had had a monopoly of leadership, The Threadco star tied Holden's mark .352. The batting race in the State league was one of the prettiest af- fairs staged in Connecticut in years. Bristol had a rather comfortable hold on first place in the standing the last few weeks but Harlowe and Holden fought tooth and nall with the bat up to the last minute. It was anybody's race and although Harlowe won, Holden gave him a great battle and deserves little less glory, as does Adams. Bristol as a team hit the hardest, being fourteen units ahead of its nearest competitor. New Britain, batting averages fell, for the most part, in the last few games. Natur- ally enough, each team, with the ex- ception of Willimantic and Torring- ton, finished in the standing accord- ing to its hitting. A Willimantic was fourth in the standing but the Tor. rington Tfgers outhit the Threadcos. Harlowe made the most hits dur- ing the seasonm, forty, while Tamm made the next largest number and Holden the third, Holden scored the most runs, 25, and Miller of Tor= rington, made the next largest num- ber. Greene of New Britain, stood third in run making. Goodrich Leading Twirler Eddie Goodridge of Bristol was the leading pitcher., This capable performer also was one of the best hitters and one of the most valu- able players to his team, McCabe of the New Departures finished the season in a flash ot glory, going to the box and pltching two victories. it Richards Defeats Tilden in Practice Chicago, Sept. 22—Willlam T.
