George Burns, of the New York Giants, of Whom Hughie Jennings Says:."As Good a Ball Player as Ever Drew on a Spiked Shoe"

Greatest SunFielder SinceWillie KeelerBy W. J. MACBETH

"As pood a ball player as ever drewon 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'savowed 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 morelgraceful fielder to be found anywhere.It is doubtful if the great Tris Speakerhimseif can go back more accurately,,come in surer or swifter or peg to the«everal bag» with greater neatness anddispatch.

In everything perhaps but battingGeorge Burn» enn hold hi« own withthe chamnion outfielder and hitting1king of the American League. Andthis can be «aid of Burn«: His patrolduring the long home stay« at the Polo(«rounds is a man'« lited job comparedto the beat Tris Speaker guard» at any.time.No baseball park in the land ha» a|

meaner or more tnaeheroui gardenthan the left field territory at the PoloGrounds. For five Seasons, now, Burnshas guarded that treacherous and dan¬gerous beat, and guarded it far betterthan any other cun fielder in the majorleagues during that time.

Willie,:like George, wa» just a natural sundog.Facing the glare day after day ap-peared in no wise U> dim the battingeye of the most scientific hitter knownto the game.

He is far greater to-daythan ever before in his career. He i.shitting better, running the base» bet-ter, fielding and throwing better andscoring 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 onlyhad 'he fight and the 're of Herzog'

nothing that boy cannot dowell. He makei the hardest kind ofchances app«'ar ridicoloBlly easy."Ty 4'obb i« the ball player that bt]

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.
