All seven assured us earnestly the
National League race waa aa good aa
over. There was not even th aem

and tam play mean anything, these

The Greatest laflela.
Kir: I see where th statement has
been made in several quarters that the
old Boston quartet. Tenney. Low. Long
and Collins, waa tb greatest Infield
that ever played.
Not aa I figure it. Th old Baltimore
Infield. Doyle. Reltx. Jennings and He
Uraw, deserves this honor.
Her are the figures that tall:

Th Orioles her hod a batting aver
age of .JJI. en' t JZ3. They stole
II bases to IS. And an Infield that
had McUraw anr Jennings certainly
had enough baseball brains.
H. A- WALLACE,
a . .
Theso were two great Infield. But
who Is to say they had anything- on
Chance. Ever, Tinker and Steinfeldt. of
Chicago, liot. or on Mclnnls. Collins.
Barry and Baker. Philadelphia, 1910
1111? For our part we'd take those
four Mackmen and let tha debate die
out.
Cincinnati can perpetrate a number
of feather-brained deals, but we don't
believe even Cincjr can bo feather
brained enough tn a baseball way to
let Buck lienor go.
e
Offside riays.
Many an entry has been branded a
quitter who merely had Intelligence
enough to know when to stop.
If the average count Is worth S cents.
the race goes to the swift and the
battle to the strong.
...
"We had the most consistent team
and the beat team play In th frame
last season." says Chief Meyers, of the
(ilants. "Everybody on the club start
ed slumping; together and everybody
kept It up."
There Is no. truth In the rumor that
the Feda are planning; to switch the
franchise of the Buffalo club to Vienna.
Austria.
Most of them almost follow the an
nual advice. They do their Christmas
shopping surly.
Still, we'll say this for Mr. Henry
Ford: He never tried to pick an all
star eleven. That's something, any
way. If we only had an extra hour or two
we could think up something; equally
nice to say about Mr. Bryan.
BENNETT RETAINS TITLE
MASCOTT BOXES SIX-KOIXD DRAW
WITH LITTLE VKTEKAN.
Kan at Hose City Clab mker
kce Plenty af Kaockdowas
and One Clean Knockout.
Jockey Bennett Is still the North
west bantamweight champion today,
following a six-round draw at the Hose
City Club last night with Billy MascotU
After six rounds of a brand of the
niftiest boxing seen since Ralph Oru
man wa a visitor here. Referee Billy
Smith held up both boys' hands in
token of an undecided contest. How
ever. Mascolt, Northwest featherweight
champ, hnd an etlee on the proceedings
apparently, despite the fact that ha
reduced himself down to lit pounds.
Both boys weighed In yesterday at
o clock and both were under weight.
The dial waa placed at lit. and failed
to raise as each in turn stepped on the
scales.
When Mascott entered the ring; he
looked a bit drawn, and Bennett went
after him at the tap of the gong. A
few seconds of lively boxing ensued.
Both of the little acrappera showed
speed.
In the preliminaries "Ping" Bodle.
tho old warhorse for punishment, gave
the fans something for the book when
he sent "Roily" Jones to the floor In
one of the early rounds of their match
with a right windmill to the chin.
Jones staggered to his corner as the
