ONE OF NY HDEP " ' *" 0E " < !J SATURDAY EVENING, dr Grant/and J2ice Copyright, 1917, by the Tribune Association (New York Tribune) ! Forty-three years ago to-day, in the citadel of Mansfield, Pa., two of the greatest Batting Eyes that baseball has ever known blinked out upon the world. , They were attached unto the person christened a trifle later as John Henry Wagner. Later on there was a new christening with the John Henry sup planted by Honus —I-lonus the Hittite—Sultan of Swat. Wagner is 4 3 vears old to-day—the only ball player, with the exceptions of Cap Anson and Cy Young, wlitf was still a major leaguer this far along , the devious highway of life. Wagner's Reign A number of words have been spilled around John Henry Wagner before, j We would esteem it considerable bliss to have a dollar for every word that has been written about him these last twenty-odd years. After buying out ! Standard Oil, tho Steel Corporation, and settling the war debt of Europe, we i have only a few millions left. But there is always room for a few more words where praise of John Henry Wagner is involved. Mighty-shouldered, bull-throated, lion-hearted, bow-legged, linked to a| lumbering grace that covered ground with amazing swiftness, Wagner has long been an institution and an inspiration. j He has been thrice blessed—blessed with a Batting Eye incarnate—blessed with a pair of hands that might have relieved Atlas—and blessed again with a love for, and a loyalty to, the game that has never been equalled. j In his 20 years of major league baseball he has served but one flag—that first lifted by Barney Dreyfuss over Louisville and later transferred to Pitts burgh, where Wagner has spent the greater part of his baseball life. So he has been one of the few remaining links between baseball and senti ment. proof that there is still something more to the game than the gate receipts. A Few Records' The big infielder has more than his share of records. He has played in more games, scored more runs, made more hits and stolen more bases than any other ball player who ever lived. In addition to this he holds the game's record of 17 successive years at .300 or above —the .300 span extending unbroken from 1897 to 1914. Dan Brouthers batted .300 or better 14 years in succession; Keeler, 13: Anson. 12: Ed Delahanty, Nap L-ijoie and Joe Kelly, 11 each. Ty Cobb has also batted above .300 the last 11 years, with some distance yet to go—but with seven .300 years ahead before he passes John Henry Wagner's mighty mark. Cobb now holds the major league record of nine successive years of bat ting leadership and he hopes to move along and add Wagner's record to his credit —but at thirty, seven years above .300 is no light task even for a Cobb to face. There have been many thousands of major league ball players, "but Wagner is the only one who has ever known such a batting span. At Forty-three • Last summer Wagner was playing his twentieth major league campaign. He was moving into his forty-third year. Yet, even then, he was above .300 most of the season, and at the tinish only seven regulars in the National League were above him. He completed his twentieth year of battle as the hardest-hitting shortstop in his circuit, while his infield play around short was still of the highest order. As a Sportsman Wagner has always been something more than a great ball player. No game has ever known a finer sportsman. We know of one instance where he coached a basketball team and refused !to accept any pay for his work. This," he said, "is my recreation —not my profession." A year ago lie collaborated with a Pittsburgh writer in a series of articles, all under Wagner's mime. When the 'check came Hans turned over the entire amount to the baseball writer, who had been the \ictim of a severe illness. J Money was never any part of his god. He got his living from the game, but he played it still more for the love of it. We know on two occasions where Pennsylvania voters urged him to run ! lor Congress. On each occasion lie refused. The certainty of election would not have tempted him. "I would have to quit baseball," he wrote. That was I enough to end the debate. Hans and Larry Wagner's .greatest rival through the twenty span was Napoleon Lajoie, who was to the American League what Wagner was to the National. The Big German and the Big Frenchman are types that no living fan will ever : forget. Lajoie served his twenty-first major league years last season, and this spring passes into the minors as a manager, although he will still con \ tinue to play. How much further Wagner can go is not to be called in advance. His f scalp Is gray and lus face is wrinkled from the eye strain of facing countless suns. But while winter may be on his head, spring still waits in his soul. He looks like some ancient ruin upon the field, but part r" the answer, at least, is this: Last year no shortstop outbatted. and only one, Maranville, had a better fielding average. He isn't hanging on through sentiment, but results. Time has been beckoning him from a long span through an age that has | been serving Youth. But the answer in his twentieth campaign and his forty-second year was this: Batting average. .287; fielding average, .944. So Time has about decided to quit calling him in—probably on the theory that he has grown too deaf to hear. Considerable institution, John .Henry Wagner. And you who follow base ; ball to-day had just as well gaze your fill at every opportunitv. You will I never look upon his like again. DEATH KNELLFOR NEW YORK BOXING A Albany, N. Y.. Feb. 24. lnstead I i of insisting on the passage of legisla- ! j tion immediately to stop all profes ! sional boxing in New York, Governor ; Whitman let it be known to-day that j I he would be satisfied if the present I law governing bouts is repealed, the j repeal to become effective January 1 I next. The Governor, it was stated at the executive chamber, would like to ! see enacted the Slater law, which j i would prohibit legalized boxing im- I ■ mediately. | I BRIDGE CLUB ENTERTAINED f Mechanicsburg, Pa., Feb. 24. The | Evening Bridge Club was pleasantly; •entertained last evening at the home j of Dr. and Mrs. N. W. Hersliner, West i Main street. Luncheon was served i to: Dr. and Mrs. M. M. Dougherty, Dr. i and Mrs. H. A. Smith, Dr. and Mrs. I Robert P. Ixing, Mr. and Mrs. Murray ! L Dick, Mr. and Mrs. George E. Lloyd, Mr. and Mrs. 11. C. Brown, Mr. : and Mrs. R. B. Schroeder, Mr. and j Mrs. R. N. Biddle, Mr. and Mrs. Mer- l vin Lamb, Mr. and Mrs. John Faller, Dr. and Mrs. N. W. Hershner. I However, it has been pointed out to him that many engagements have been made in good faith for bouts dur ; inb the summer and fall under the present law, and that it would work a ! hardship to many interests if all were canceled. Accordingly, he has agreed to a compromise, under which he will accept an amendment to the Slater Hill j which will defer until December 31 i the effectiveness of the proposed re | peal. ( IT'XFIRAI< OF MRS. J. H. BROWN Mechantcsburg, Pa., Feb. 24.—Fu neral services for Mrs. J. H.

This gather ing has , been heralded as only a scheduled meeting, but it looks like i it will be a real session. There is much : to do before the baseball season starts j in April. President J. 11. Farrell is not yet I certain where a!l of his teams will ! pay this summer. While there has been good news coming from Elmlra, it is I said this franchise and that of Utlca, j may be sold between now and the j time for the meeting. Reports from Utica are that there ! must be a sale of the club in that city. Heirs want a settlement of an estate of which the baseball franchise is a part. Utica citizens have been hustling to organize a stock company and there I has been much encouragement, but not enough to assure success. It is said that either Allentown or Bethle hem will pay the necessary price for Utlca interests. At Elmlra there has been also much activity and with the aid of the Ro tarlans of that cltv announcement has been made that the club will remain in the city. However, thene is a report that the transfer of the Interests there is for the purpose of preventing a loss to the present owners who hpve been loyal to Elmira fans and that the new association is ready and willing to sell If there is a profit coming on their investment. Whatever is going to happen at Utica and Elmira will be made known officially at the March meeting. There need be no worry. Those who know President Farrell have every confidence in his ability to bring about a satisfactory adjustment of all con troversies and to fix a circuit that will mean another successful season. Bits From Sportland The Methodist Club five, of the City Amateur League, will meet tho Burn- | ham Y. M. ,C. A*, team, on the lat- I ter's floor itonight.

Blair is one of the best inside baseball men in the coaching field and should produce a winner. The team will bo handicapped to some extent this year, due to the fact that no freshmen are allowed to participate in varsity athletics. This will make some of the best material of the school un available for the big team.
