PLAYERS' SEAL
VALUE UNCERTAIN
Ball Tosser Who Looks Like
Star Often Proves Failure.
GEORGE STONE AN EXAMPLE,
Few Yoars Ago St. Louis Americans
Outfielder Would Have Drought Dig
Sum, but Not Now Other Cracks
Whose Brilliancy Has Faded.
Star baseball players are certainly a
mighty risky commodity. Oho year a
player may show to advantage, look
as. If lie was worth $50,000 to his club,
cause his owner to turn down ali kinds
of fabulous offers for his services and
the following year prove a big failure.
While every club owner Is In the
bnsobnll business to get the money,
Btlll It's the ono ambition of every own
er and manager to win pennants; oth
crwlso tlicro would bo much more
trading and selling of players among
the various clubs of the majors and
minors. Civic pride often keeps an
owner from selling one of his stars
for a big sum. Tho fact that such a
sale may also bring upon his bead the
.wrath of tho fans plays a part as well
In tho baseball market.
Four years ago Georgo Stone of the
St Louis club led tho American league
in batting. Stone and his big stick
were feared by every pitcher in the
Johnsonian circuit Every club owner
,would have boon delighted to buy
Stone at almost any old price, while
the St Louis fans simply idolized their
batting king. All kinds of offers wero
made to Owner Hedges, but he turned
a deaf ear to them.
Stone was expected to be tho big
noise the following year, but ho proved
a rank disappointment Trouble over
salary caused him to get a late start.
Injuries set him back several times
Just as he was getting into his stride,
and all in all ho had a bad year. One
of the injuries to his ankle slowed
GEOIlOn STONE, ST. bOUIS AMEBICAN OUT
l'lELDWi. him up considerably, and slnco then a
number of tho hits that ho used to
beat out go In to the put-out column.
Three years ago Stone would have
brought down something like $10,000,
yet it's questlonnblo if any club would
pay much moro for him than tho draft
price.
A few years ago Manager McGraw
of the New York Giants offered the
St Louis Nationals $10,000 for Pitcher
Karger and was willing to throw in a
couple of young pitchers to boot
Owner Roblson of the Cardinnls want
ed to give tho fans a winner and turn
ed down tho offer without hesitation.
ICnrger failed to show the next year,
was traded to Cincinnati and then
turned loose to a minor league club.
Ho is now with tho Boston Americans
and has dono very well, but is nothing
like the pitcher ho was a few years
ago.
Not bo many years ago Elmer Flick,
Jack Powell, Lou Criger, Terry Turner,
llermau Bchaefer, Leo Tannehlll, Bill
Bradley, Bill Donovan and a host of
other stare would havo brought fancy
prices if placed on tho auction block
of baseball. Whllo qulto a fow of
tho boys aro still valuable to have
around, thero wouldn't bo any riot
Bhould thoy bo offered' for sale, and
they wouldn't bring one-fifth tho price
they would havo commanded flvo years
ago.
Good players aro men who tako long
chances. Playera who tako unusual
risks arc, of course, very llablo to
Injury, and slight Injuries often ruin
star ball players. Yes, Indeed, star
ball players are moro dellcato than
tho daintiest bits of bric-a-brac.

UHLAN, GREATEST TROT
TER OF ALL TIME, 8AYS
GEERS.
"Uhlan Is tho greatest trotter
of all time," said Ed Geers. "lie
can trot a quarter in thirty sec
onds easier than any horse I
ever saw." In considering tho
merit of trotting horses Lou
Dillon's wind shield record of
1:58 made at Memphis In 1003
must be eliminated.
Uhlan's l:5Si without the
wind shield Is the greatest per
formance in the history of the
trotting turf.
Horsemen are giving Trainer
Doc Tanner n lot of credit for
the -improvement In the black
son of BIngcn's speed. Tanner
took the gelding last fall.
In the case of Uhlan he fig
ured that with the length of too
and the foot angle that horse
had nnd tho weight he was car
rying there was a distinct hand
icap to the gelding's showing
his best speed. It was Tanner's
belief that a horse capable of
taking a record of 2:02, which
Uhlan did last season, rigged 4
as was Uhlan, would go faster j
and last longer at the clip if 4
shod, balanced nnd pedicured a $,
Tanner thought he should be. J;

Cracks From All Over Expected to

The Mississippi Marathon, for sev

mile nntlonal swimming championship,
will bo held over the usual course from
the Chain of Rocks to the Ends bridge.
St. Louis, Sept. 5.
It was thought last spring that H. J.
Handy of tho Illinois Athletic club of
Chicago, its four time winner, would
not enter it again, but news conies
that he is training dally, and every
thing polntp to his once more having
an eye on it. The thousand dollar
trophy which Hnndy secured last year
by his third consecutive victory hau
been replaced by another, and tho race
will be as popular as ever, which Is
saying a lot, for fields of over tlfty
starters are the rule, and It is esti
mated that some 200.000 people turn
out to fou it.
Connie Mack's Dope Box.
Has Connie Mack a dope box? He
must feed his athletes something. Cy
Morgan was Just an ordinary dub with
Boston, yet when ho reached Phila
delphia he perked up and is now one
of the star performers of the American
league.
