This tribute to Ryan's ability, coming from Fielder Jones, former manager of the White Sox. considered among the great outfielders of baseball, will make this youngster an object of interest among St. Louis fans.

NEVER GAVE UP. Radbourne was a man who never despaired of victory no matter how the tide of fortune flowed. He did not know the meaning of the wora "quit." Why I recall a time when he set a record that has never been approached. In one week he pitched five games and won all of them. Three of these were victories over Buffalo and in the three games he pitched 37 Innings altogether.

Twice he beat Detroit, though it took him twenty-eight Innings to do it. Just think of what that meant! Sixty-five tough innings, or more than seven ordinary games for one pitcher In a week. Where could you find a pitcher today who would even warm up five times? But Radbourne thought nothing of it.

That fielding averages have little value In showing the true merits of a ball player. Is proven by an Inspection of the 1911' American Lea rue statistics. Catcher Willie Sullivan of Chicago; Shortstop Tannehill of the same club and Pitcher Bender of the Athletics, are the only stars at the head of their respective, classes. Yet, these same averages seem to bear out wonderfully, the poor caliber of ball played in the field by the Browns last season. In other Instances they are not so true.
