IS MOST WONDERFUL PLAYER

That Is Opinion of Manager Fielder Jones Who Was Inclined to Belittle Slsler at First Manager Fielder Jones of the St. Louis Browns is out with a declaration that he never will use George Sis-

ler in the pitcher’s box again. After pitching Sisler finds that his shoulder muscles tighten up for several days, throwing him off his batting stride. Sisler is a wonderful pitcher, but he is more valuable to the Browns as a batter. Jones, who was inclined to belittle Sisler when he first took hold of the Browhs, now halls the collegian as the most wonderful player he ever saw. “Greater In some respects than Cobb,” says Jdnes, “and before the year ends likely to replace Cobb as the Best Ever.”

George Sisler.
