Take Until us an example. Sixty
pt-r rent, of hi prominence Is duo to
the fact that he could hit more tiomu
runs than any living mortal. The
rest is mere personality., whownmn.
Hhlp. Frank Maker was the home run
before him; he was colorless, a
."dead-pan," and couldn't have attain
ed' li mil's position had he Kinitteu a
round hundred homo runs ciu-h hi;i
aon. Cobb and Sisler are another Htudy
in rout rants. The former fiery, tm

Jie t imped oft. great nut unit talent
with tin: spice ot a multi-colored per
Konallty. Sisler, ol almost equul
nbllit. draws less attention because
lie lacks either tho gift or desire for
making himseir conspicuous. Horns
by and Speaker are ball players ot the
ranie type. 1
- Then-m e plenty of good shortstops
in the land hut .until he began to fade,
a bil during recent years, Habit Mar
anville was the only one who got
much attention. Hit? peculiarities in
the field, plus his cocky, self-assured
attitude, made the "llidihit" a draw
ing card, although it was always i
moot point whether he was ot greater
value to his team than linnroit. The
latter Is u pale-blue hall player, and
never tin w an extra nickle at the hov
office. The same applies to Scott,
lloMoeher and other leading short
stops. Tim fact of the nun tier Is that
niiity-tiiuo members of the profession
piifv baseball to one who throws in n
d itih or showmanship with his mitur

wise. Von have lr go back over twenty

tho later. Wadded and "Hugs" Itay
niond were great pitchers,-1iut eccen
tricity added t their appeal. Walter
Johnson, Alexander, JUatty and others
neVc!- had the drawing power of tho
other two.
Incidentally, Tlnl C'huse Is generally
mentioned as the greatest of first
basemen, yet. we wonder if h can
he compared with Sister In nil around

most people remember only his grnce.

defensive ability, but otherwise tho
comparison is like an oblong view
