"As Good a Ball Player as Ever Drew on a Spiked Shoe" Greatest Sun Fielder Since Willie Keeler By W. J. MACBETH "As pood a ball player as ever drew on a spiked shoe." Thus spake Hughie Jennings, man¬ ager of thp Detroit Tigers, when hi« opinion was sought on a certain Giant player, Hughie wasn't referring to Herzog, though the compliment might well have gone for Char.ie. Wounded feeling» were too raw as a result of the Herzog- Ceba feud for Hughie to eulogize Ty's avowed enemy. Nor did Jennings have in mind Benny Knuff, Heinie Zimmer¬ man or Lavio RoBertsoB, He was IBoahlBg of Georgl Burr.». New York far.« will indorse Hughie'« «entiments in every word and letter. What a grand, great ball player' ¦ | Burns j-! There is no morel graceful fielder to be found anywhere. It is doubtful if the great Tris Speaker himseif can go back more accurately,, come in surer or swifter or peg to the «everal bag» with greater neatness and dispatch. In everything perhaps but batting George Burn» enn hold hi« own with the chamnion outfielder and hitting1 king of the American League. And this can be «aid of Burn«: His patrol during the long home stay« at the Polo («rounds is a man'« lited job compared to the beat Tris Speaker guard» at any. time. No baseball park in the land ha» a| meaner or more tnaeheroui garden than the left field territory at the Polo Grounds. For five Seasons, now, Burns has guarded that treacherous and dan¬ gerous beat, and guarded it far better than any other cun fielder in the major leagues during that time. Greatest Since heeler George Burns is the greatest sun fielder fast companv has Boon since the heyday of wee WilHt Keeler. Willie,: like George, wa» just a natural sundog. Facing the glare day after day ap- peared in no wise U> dim the batting eye of the most scientific hitter known to the game. Through hi« smoked glasses Willie could nip a line drive quite Bt nimbly the ordinary out-' fielder could V'e expected to do under an overeat! »ky. Few sun fielders last at their best so long a time a"« George Burn» has already served in the left garden be¬ neath Coogar.'s Bluff. But George just beginning to find himself. whs a great outfielder as far as three year« back. He is far greater to-day than ever before in his career. He i.s hitting better, running the base» bet- ter, fielding and throwing better and scoring more run«. To resume Hugh Jennings'» testi¬ monial: "It'« too bad," said Hugh, "that (¡eorgie haan't just a littl«' more ag- rreasivoness in hi« makeup. If he only had 'he fight and the 're of Herzog' nothing that boy cannot do well. He makei the hardest kind of chances app«'ar ridicoloBlly easy. "Ty 4'obb the ball player that bt] because t«n year« ago he set about to make himself the most valuable ployer in the game. He was very green when he joined Detroit, but BOI« .d of all the natural attribute« to1 diamond greatr.es«. Diligence, prac¬ tice, ambition and self-confidence soon id his ambition. I believe Hurts nothing Ty pe id at bii age save that grim determination to usurp tht limelight. George, like Keeler, of the hi kii violet type, if ho only had the knack of près, agent- imself, a. some of the illustriou .».ars do, no one of the National League would be mart talked Of. Burns I con- » :. - one of the greatest player» in Beteball." None More leoysl ¦Burns may not be overly self-con- »ciou». but no player more loyal and faithful to hi» trust.

Burns lias been a grand player evr since he joined the Giants. He seem destined for his best season this yeoi however. According to the latest aver ages Burns is hitting JOS. He ha scored forty-one runs and stolen thir te»n bases. For several weeks Burn lead the National League hitters though as lead-otf man he is not in ai ideal position. It behooves him al ways to gamble with the close ones il the hope of drawing a base on balls. Burns was born in l'tlca, N. Y., ir 1889 and began his professional caree with the New Torh State League c!ul of that city when he was twenty year: of age. He attracted atteotlOB as r tro. player of his native city, hi« early work having been routine«! exclu lively to rat clung. Small catchers -*i that time were nol particularly extractive to major leagui BCOOtS, 1 he Kay Schalks and Al Wai terses were to come later. Bum« served throughout 190! as first catcher for I'tica and filled the assignmcnl well. However, because of his pen¬ chant for hitting consistently and hit¬ ting best in the pinches,the I'tica man¬ ager in 1910 decided to employ Burn»'« hitting fuculties as much as possible Wherefore, when not behind the bat, little Géorgie was assigned to an out- field patrol. Assigned to Outfield Burns picked up the art of OBtAcld- in^F mi readily that in 1911 he was ex¬ cused from doubling in brass. He had graduated into an outtield'i Steady employment m th>' picket line greatly improved his all round play. He hit L'S:» and stole forty bases in 129 games. His work attract«'!«,' the attention of the New York scout», and before the draft« lag ,BOSOM he was purchase«! by the Giants. Burns reported to the Giants at Mar- lin. Tex., in the spring uf 1912. He has been a fixture ever since He played only twenty-nine fames that first yiar, because it wa» the policy of the mart- iigem«nt to school rookies on the I.« rich. But in the twenty-nine gam« - Géorgie hotted 284, quite some «pee«! for u reehie. Moose McUormick wa« ¦lipping fust when Hums joined the (liants.

player,Hughie wasn't referring to Herzog,

though the compliment might well have

gone for Char.ie. Wounded feeling»were too raw as a result of the Herzog-Ceba feud for Hughie to eulogize Ty'savowed enemy. Nor did Jennings have

between Fred Teschner, the metrópoli«tan 100-yard champion, of the GlencoeAthletic Club, and Louis Cooper, ofStuyvesant High School, both of whomheaded their fields home in two roeec.Teschner was m specially good form,covering the 100 yards in the fast timeof 10 2-5 seconds. However, he sur¬

prised all when he was clocked in224-8 seconds in defeating a fast fieldof runners from the BCtOteh mark inthe 1220-yard run.Cooper proved himself the speediest

among the schoolboys.
