Veterans Far Outshine Youngsters No Star to' Match Hornsby Has Yet Been Produced Schupp Wins Honors.
South has had a lean year on the major league diamonds. The current campaigns have failed thus far to produce a single outstanding star to match ' Kogrers Hornsby, the greatest of all tht; young players developed during the season of 1916. This year's crop of new material includes soma promising yearlings, but still the youthful marvel of the Cardinals stands head and shoulders above them all. Of the newcomers only Billy Kopf, shorstop of the Tleds. and Fete KilduiY. shortstop of. the Cubs, appear to be above the average, while the best that may be said about the others is that they give promise of future development. One of the best players who emerged from obscurity this season is Cruise, outfielder of the Cardinals, whose slugging has been a potent factor in the successes of Huggins' rehabilitated brigade. Cruise is a real "find." But it will take at least another season to determine whether he is able to travel the major league pace. Among the most promising of the new men are Joe Evans, third baseman of the Indians, and Harris, third baseman, both of whom appear to bo able batsmen and skilled fielders. Joe Risberg. shortstop of the "White Sox, is another youth who is doing his bit to help win games. Risberg is a splendid inf.elder, one of the best defensive placers on the pastjme, but has yet to show
ancholy year for him. He has won ten games and lost eleven, but even in defeat stood out as a pitcher who some day will rank, among the leaders. Regan, too. has done some splendid work for the Reds. Matty has taken a persgonal interest In the oungster and under his tutelage Regan may be heard from next year. Thus far this season has been far more profitable for the veterans than t-he youngsters and especially has this been so concerning the pitchers. In the National League all the leaders aro seasoned moundsmen and topping them all is Chief Bender, whose baseball requiem was written a few months ago. The Indian has staged one of the greatest comebacks in the history of the diamond and hns been the greatest individual factor in the drive that has carried the Phillies within gun range of the leaders. Bender has won six games and lost one and in his recent battles has been invincible. Veterans Shine. And following Bender in the pitchers' column stand tnrce of New York'3 twirlers, Sallee, with fifteen games won and five lost; Schupp, with seventeen games won and six lost, and Benton, with thirteen won and five lost. And then trail other battle scarred veterans, among . them Alexander, Marquard. Cooper and Tcney. And-in the American League, too.

series between the Dodgers and Giants was particularly Impressive. He has been playing center field in place of Hy Myers, who was moved to second base in the absence of George Outshaw, and his all around work surpassed Hy's work by a big margin. Hy will have to travel at a fast pace to get his job again If Hickman continues to move at his present clip. The Phillies make their big bid to overtake the Giants in the series scheduled to begin between, them, and the Robins at Kbbets Field today.

If any of the fans can't find the Ravenswood "L" they're out of luck, that's all. If Hammond defeats Albany Park Sunday it will play the Galligans at Parduhn park a week from Sunday and the U. S. Navy a second game the week following. Johnny Mokate,' the star left fielder of the Hammond club and a product of the West Side, will be honored by his many friend3 from that section of the city when he appears Sunday with the Hammond club against the Albany Parks. Johnny has been playing sensational ball all season and his hitting has helped to keep the Hammond club on top. a

preserved by Manager Kozlek for his admirers. " The Jake Stahls and Murleys play at the Hammond ball park Sunday and the results of the Hammond-Albany Park game will be announced every three Innings.

A German patriot in Pekin conceived the idea that it would be a nice thing- to send $33 to Captain Koenigr with a message asking him to buy a drink for each of the thirty-nine members of the crew. Fine. On the second trip of the ubmarlne to this country. Captain Knoenls wired the Pekin man of his arrival. But the enthusiasm of the Illinois German had either abated or wa-s not up to another JS3 touch, for the answer was: "You are. coming too often."
