THE CITIZEN, FRIDAY, SUIT. 22, 1011. r-AOE 3 BASEBALL STARS WHO STILL STICK Diamond Shining Lights of 1910 Twinkle Brighter Than Ever. M'GRAW FOOLS WISE ONES. Showing of Rube Marquard This Son ton Surprised Many Experts Many New yorld Beaters Make Good, but FgJI to Uiurp Many Vets. v With" The end of the major league season In sight, this seems as good a time as any to rerlew some of tho points which will make 1011 history In tho annals of the game, if there really bo any annals. We do this to beat some of the real baseball Ills torians like George Moreland; Pop Morso nnd Ilughle Fullerton to It. Now for tho fntnl plunge: Ty Cobb of Detroit further strength' I ened bis hold on the honor of being the world's greatest ball ploycr. Char ley Comlskey, owner of the Chicago White Sox, called him this. In a fa- jnous Interview last year. Nothing the Georgia Cracker has done so far can take this remarkable title from him. Ho has been largely responsible in keeping the Tigers In their high es tate. In batting, base running and fielding he has been premier in all that that much overworked word indi cotes. After having been panned by New Xork critics for two years and more McGraw of the Giants now has the eatlsfactlon of seeing his $11,000 beau ry, Rube Marquard, develop Into one of the best southpaws In tho country. Getting off to another punk start, this former American association star has , blossomed out Into a world beater, and It is duo to him in a great meas ure that the Giants are very, very formidable contestants for the Nation nl league title. Tho changeable New York critics now nre extolling M& Grnw's foresight. So hatd off to the Giant's manager, please! Player Stovall of the Clevelnnd Naps has proved himself n first rato man agcr for "one so young." Tho Naps have really played better ball under him than they have In years. The players seem to want to make his re gime ns much of n success as possl , ble, which accounts for tho very com mendable manner In which they have oiAeen playing tho past two months. epJiey have risen out of the depths to n S')sition which is not half bod, being JJgnjntestnntH with tho Whito Box, the 10Jankees and the Speed Boys of Bos gc '.on for third notch. Ed Walsh of tho Sox has pitched his first no bit gamo artei-knoclslng-nrthe' floor for years. This caps his truly Kreat career, and ho now can rest in content. It would have broken his heart to retire from tho game with out that honor. Ed has pitched several one hit games. One tough ono In particular, played some four years ago In Chicago grounds against the Naps, was a cruel blow to Edward. The ono hit was a mighty dinky one In tho eighth Inning. Then another bit that might have bene knocked down occurred a couple of weeks ago against Boston. But tho best game Walsh ever pitched was against Chcs bro of tho Yankees six years ago. That former spltball king held the Sox to ono hit and lost, 1 to 0, which Is going some. Another Ed Iteulbach of the Cubs-r retains his unchallenged title of the wildest man of the leagues. For years tho Cub fans have shuddered to see him ascend tho box. As It generally happened there were half a dozen men passed, one or two hit, and then Ed ward was called to the bench. Most of tho Chicago fans wonder why he has been kept this long time. But perhaps the Cub management feels compelled to retain ono who Is so con sistent. And wo still have tho same old headlines In tho papers In fact, it happened only recently "Reulbach Wild, Cubs Lose." Tho grand form shown by tho St. Louis Cardinals nnd their amazing spurt earlier In tho season are ono of I the year's best offerings. It Is possl blo that next year St. Louis will have a winner. !t Tho Boston Nationals, with two comebacks KHng and Donlln have been Jarring several of tho "hopes" of late. Tho Cubs were severely Jolted on their last visit to Boston. This Is noteworthy enough to deserve men tion here, Inasmuch ns Bo6ton general ly Is satisfied with ono victory a year from Chicago.
