Baseball Encyclopedia.

Johnny Evers calls Johnny Corriden, shortstop of the Cubs, a “human baseball encyclopedia.” The Trojan, while managing the Cubs, found Corriden valuable for his fund of information concerning minor league players. "That boy has a wonderful mind,” declared Johnny to the writer recently. “He reads the baseball weeklies and follows the box scores and records of every minor league player in the business. When it comes to getting information about minor leaguers, Corrlden'ygU be found better than a dozen Card indexes. Mention any minor, league player in captivity, and Corridon will tell you what he is batting and what he was hitting two weeks or a month before.”
