WHEN BASEBALL STARS APPEAR AT TOP FORM Nap. Lajole, Hans Wagner And Others Played Their Best When 26 Years Old. When does the ballplayer reach the greatest efficiency. At what age is his prowess su- perior to his efforts at other times? A little study of the ages at which ballplayers have had their great year is interesting. It shows that at about twenty-five or twenty- six the maximum of efficiency, is reached. Honus Wagner had his greatest year in 1900. At least he reached his maximum a¢ a batsman that year, and his fielding was never bet- ter......In 1900 Honus was twenty- six years old. - He batted .380 for the season. Napoleon Lajoie year in 1901, when he was twenty- six. That year the great French- man batted for an astounding total of . oat, star year was in when « he was twenty-five. That year Cobb batted .420 and amassed 248 hits and 147 runsy When it is considered that there are few bat- ters who get beyond 100 runs or 200 hits a season it may be seen how far out ahead of the field Cobb was that year. Matty had something like sixteen great years, but the greatest of these was in 1905, when he was had his best 1911, vear Matty won nine twenty-five. 'That thirty-one and lost but out of forty and 'pitches out games against t? the world series, an which has never been equalled Ed. Walsh's super year, when he won forty games and lost fifteen, beside saving a number or 'other pit- chers, was in 1908 Walsh was twenty-six then. His record of forty wins has been beaten by omly one pitcher, Chesbro having gone him one better. : Walter Johnson reached his best season in ¥913, when he was twen- That year he won thirty and lost but 'seven games It is hard to pick the greatest year of Grover Alexander, who has won more than thirty games during the last three seasons, but he de- livered these yictories during his twenty-fourth year, twenty-fifth, and twenty-sixth years. Joe Wood won games and lost five in he was but twenty-three, Marquard was the same age the same year when he made his re- markable run of nineteen straight games. But the majority of the great stars have been around twen- ty-five or twenty-six when they had their best seasons. twenty-three 1912, when and Rube Profits. through several money anding Soccer Clubs Make In spite of 'struggling four years of war footbail, Engl soccer clubs mada last season, quite ti is feature being the re { of Stok who netted a profit of $6,003, which is the largest yet made in the unis tory of the famous club.

One of the latest récruits to the great army of American aviators is Ragnar Omtvedt, a Norwegian ski- jumper, who holds the record of 192 feet 9 inches, said to be the longest jump ever made in skis.

The greatest of the great proposes to. get into some war activity by which he may do what he considers his duty to his country. Whether this will mean actual enlistment or some- thing else, Cobb does not say. Friends of Cobb, however, say that Cobb has often spoken of enter- ing some department where his knowledge of automobiles may be put to use. Cobb is an enthusiastic motorist and an automobile expert. Cobb's retirement from baseball will' mark the close of the most sen- sational and remarkable chapters in the history of the game. There has never been a ball player who combined the versatility of Cobb. His mechanical playing has been outdone by others--Speaker is a greater outfielder, Lajoie was a greater natural hitter--but Cobb has the personality, the "color," the "fire," which has not only made him the greatest ball player of all time but also the greatest gate attraction the game has ever seen. Twelve years out of thirteen Cobb has led his league in batting, and is away out in the lead again this year. For six or eight years he has led in base-stealing," in the number ' of doubles and triples made, in hits made; and in runs scored. In a dozen years he has set more new records for future stars to shoot at than any half-dozen other players in the history of baseball A MeGRAW SARCASM Didn't Please Hermog and Started a Big Squabble. Here is the answer to McGraw-<Charles Herzog the reason why Herzog Boston The Pirates were their final series in New York against the Giants last fall. Herzog started 'riding' Hugo Bezdek, man ager of the Pittsburg club. "You had better make that Her- zog lay off me or I'll bust his head," said Bezdek to McGraw. "1 wish you would," McGraw is said to have replied. Since that time Graw, so the story goes, have spoken very few words fo each other. Incidentally, Hugo Bezdek, former football player 'and prize- fighter, probably would have made good on his threat.
