Lassen Should Look to Future CHAPTER XXIV YYERS who are the idols of the baseball fans ef today should keep an eye on the future. aM When the athletic days of great baseball stars are over 3 they should have some sort of a vocation to which to turn. The only way the vide for their future is to spend the months profitably. Of course, such stars as Tris Speaker, Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth and the rest of the high- priced players of today should be able to bank enough coin during their careers to have life pretty easy for the rest of their days, but the average player can't do this. To play baseball means giving the best years of your life to the game. But if the winter months are put to good use, baseball is a wonderful thing for a young-blooded American with ability.
