Although Voted Place In Hall of Fame, Honus Puts Joe Tinker at Short FAVORITE SONS OF OLD LOOP BY HQNUS WAGNER I After nearly 40 years of watching National Leaguers perform, I naturally have my preferences amons the players I have seen come up and star in the old league. There have been hundreds oi them--men around whose names legends have been woven and whose deeds still are held up before the eyes of aspiring rookies as models they are expected to copy. In selecting an all-star team from the National League, I have divided my choices almost evenly i among modem players and those "way back when." I realize that. I'm open to criticism, too, but any- I one who spitvfg ail-star case GLASSCO LEAGUE GAMES WILL BE PLAYED THIS WEEK I Six games are scheduled for play the Glassco League. The first lur of these games will be played lis evening in the Lancaster High gymnasium.

So here goes: Fred Clarke, Pittsburgh, left field; Clarence Beaumont, Pittsburgh, center field; Willte Keeler, Brooklyn, right field; Bill Terry, New York, first base; Nap Lajoie, Philadelphia, second base; Joe Tinker, Chicago, shortstop; Pie' Traynor, Pittsburgh, third base, Johnny King, Chicago, and Roger Bresnahan, New York, catchers; Christy Mathewsoc, New York; Grover Alexander, Philadelphia, and Cy Young, Cleveland, pitchers. I Selection of Lajoie may bring' some criticism, since he played dur- ing most of his career in the Amer( lean League.

But Le was with the Phillies long enough to convince one and all what a great player he was. How About Honns Wagner? I debated whether to place Tinker or Herman Long at shortstop. I believe they were almost on a par, and I finally chose Tinker. In selecting this team I have considered ability, the will to win, brainwork, and whether the player really liked baseball or just played the game for the financial return. For those reasons, it is only natural that I would select three Pittsburgh players.

I was closely associated with them, knew their habits, their temperaments, and everything about them. What a pair of catchers Kling and Bresnahan would make on any big league team today! Bresnahan Ohio University Likes New Center Bill Terry Pie Tray nor was the first catcher, if I recall cor- rectly, to wear shin guards, and was a tower of strength in the Giant lineup for many years. Kling was one of the few catchers I ever saw who could throw to second base from a squatting position. The three pitchers I have chosen were work horses. Matty, I have always contended, was the greatest pitcher the National League ever produced, with and Alexander not far behind in ability.

With these three in their prime today, a club could count on almost 75 victories, perhaps more, a season. Power In Infield My outfield of Clarke, Beaumont, Here are four of the players Honus Wagner picks for his all-star National League team. Above is Bill Terry, manager and first sicker of Giants Left, hittms, is Pie Traynor, Pirate manager and third baseman. Lower left Is Nap Lajoie, who played with. Philadelphia in the National loop long- enough "to convince one and all a great player he was." RIyht is Joe Tinker, Chlcagro Cubs' old shortstop, whom Wagner rates tops of all time hi the circuit.

and Keeler should be an ideal combination. They were all .300 hitters even back in the days when, it is acknowledged, the ball wasn't as lively as it is today. Clarke could do about everything and do it well, and was one of the finest team players I ever knew. Beaumont wz. a great fielder and timely hitter, and I need not mention the accomplishments of the im mortal Keeler.

There is plenty of fielding skill and power, too, in the infield. Traynor I consider the greatest third baseman in the game. His diving stops of smashes along the l'-2 and his timely hitting have never been equaled. Pie still is a great fellow to have at the plate with runners waiting to score. Terry, now in the twilight of his career, always has been a murderous hitter.

Tinker and Lajoie would Tinker form a great combination at second base. The passing years might force me to change my all-time selections. For instance, Arky Vaughan of the Pirates may prove himself a greater shortstop than Tinker before his career, now just bursting into full bloom, is at an end. The line to criticize my all-timers forms at the right, and please check your weapons. Ihio State Ends Season Tonight icks To Play Notre Dame At South Bend This Evening I5LOOMINGTON, March 3.

Indiana Ends Season Indiana finished the season with 11 league victories and one defeat. Purdue can share the title if it beats Michigan at Ann Arbor Saturday.

Ohio extended the Hoosiers thru- out the contest, but never could sum mon the power to forge ahead of the title bound quintet. Indiana held a 23 to 18 advantage at the half and was In complete command of the situation until late in the contest when Ohio rallied to pull within three points of them. Here the Hoosiers tightened their de fense and then lengthened their win ning margin. (Vesleyan Defeats )ayton Last Night Bishops Tie Bearcats For Buckeye Conference Championship COLUMBUS, March the third time in the 11 year history of the Buckeye Conference, Ohio Wesleyan and the University of Gin cinnati today shared the league's basketball championship. Wesleyan cut itself in for a share of the titular spoils here last night when it beat back the courageous challenge of the University of Dayton to win 29 to 21.

The victory was Wesleyan's eighth in 10 conference starts. The Bishops were beaten by Cincinnati and Ohio University. Cincinnati, in turn lost a return contest to Wesleyan, and had its hopes for an undisputed title shattered when it dropped a decision last Saturday to Miami. Two Clear Titles The previous titles Wesleyan and Cincinnati shared were in 1929 and Each school also has won two championships outright. Wesleyan played ragged ball last) night and only its accuracy from the foul line enabled it to gain the triumph.

U'- A year ago Bernard "Beanie' Berens had his nnal basketball game for Ohio University and on his departure fiom the ranks he carried with him three Buckeye Conference scoring recoidb. Berens had scored 28 points in a single conference game; 141 in a season of 10 contests and 389 in thee seasons of Buckeye competition for his marks. Brandon T. Grovtr, veteran Ohio U.

coach, characterized Berens a--. the greatest center in the history o' the Buckeye and thought it would be many seasons before a scorer ot his prowess would developed. Eye Nick Lalich Today, Grover and other astute Buckeye observers eed Nick Lalich Ohio U. sophomore nd were forced to admit a worthy successor to Berens had followed him as the i Bobcats' center. Lalich, the kingpin of a fine soph omore quintet at Athens, won the 1 1936 Buckeye Conference individual scoring championship with a total of 135 points in 10 1 The lanky Cleveland boy was ort- I ly six points short of Berens' con- i ference record.

His performance bettered by three points the mark of Clarence "Babe" Hendricks, Ohio Wesleyan, whom Berens succeeded as the record holder. Hendncks made 132 points in 12 games. Lalich was stopped in only two conference games. In the first; championship contest of the season he secured only two points against Ohio Wesleyan and in the seventh of the year, Cincinnati held him to three points. The two lapses prevented him from establishing a new record, Fattens Scoring Average The Ohio ace ran wild against the hapless Marshall College quintet for his two big scoring sprees, In the first game against the West Virginians he made 24 points and came back with 23 in a return contest.
