From the honor roll of Immortals, Baseball Writers of America have selected eight players whoso names recall the most stirring performances of America's national past- time.

As they line up mythically under the bronze name placques at the birthplace of the game In Coopcrs- town, N. today, they aie: Second Wagner. Speaker. Cobb. Uuth.

Mathewson. Young. Johnson. Lajole, Speaker and Your.g join the others with the latest poll nf the Baseball Writers' Association, announced yesterday. The five others are the "original named in the first annual poll a year ugo.

Lajole, the speedy second baseman who compiled a .338 lifetime Kitting average for 16 years in the poll with IfiS 201. Speaker, often nominated as baseball's greatest center fielder, polled 1C5 and Young, iron-man right-hander of tho '90's, had 163. 411 three are living, Lajole at Daytona Beach, according to latest reports; Speaker in Cleveland, where he is boxing commission chairman, and Young on a farm near Peoli, Ohio. Lajole's major league career carried him from tho Philadelphia Phillies to the Athletics, to Cleveland and back to the Athletics before it ended in 1917. Brilliant both on defense and offense, the daring Frenchman complied a lifetime fielding average of .906 to go with his unusual high batting mark.

Star of three World championship teams in Boston and Cleveland, Speaker's diamond span stretched from 1909 to 1926, including 1 seven seasons with the Red Sox and 11 great years with the Indiana. As manager of Cleveland in 1920, he brought the Indians the only World's title they ever held. His top batting years were 1916, with 1920, with .388, and 1926, with .389. Young stands alone as the number one Iron-man pitcher of ill time. He was up there more years, pitched more games and won more victories than any other hurler diamond history.

In 22 years with the old Cleveland Nationals, St. Louis Nationals, Red Sox, Indians and Boston Nationals, he posted 511 victories in 874 games.

Hickory added a biace of fouls Just before tho Intermission, but was unable to score a field goal the first half.
