Old- Time Baseball Stars
Entitled to Most Credit
J Modern Tendency to Discredit Work of Great
J Performers of Long Ago.
By DAMON RUNYON.
OLD-TIME fans seem to feel
that there is a modern-day
tendency to discredit the
work of the baseball stars of the
long ago. The arguments over
Rube Marquard have probably been
largely responsible for the develop
ment of this feeling. As a matter
of fact, the old-timers of the game
are entitled to much more credit
for their accomplishments than
their modern successors, just as the
pioneers who blazed the paths
through the wilderness are entitled
to more credit than the descend
ants who live in peace and quiet
as a result of the achievements of
their forebears.
It would be idle to say that Mar
quard's record approaches that of
Charley Radbourne, when it ’ is
considered that Radbourne made
his run of eighteen straight victo
ries practically on consecutive
days. The style of pitching, or the
distance pitched, makes no partic
ular difference —the physical and
mental effort was there. It would
be equally idle to contend that any
modern-day ball club will match
the record of the Red Stockings of
'69 and '7O. The base running of
the Lathams and Hamiltons and
Stoveys of the bygone time will
probably never be touched by
modern-day players.
Certain it is, too, that not many
of the catchers of today would
stand the gaff that the old-timers
took—catching day in and day
out without gloves or protectors.
Sufficient
Glory For All.
Rube Marquard is a marvelous
pitcher and he has hung up a rec
ord that will probably stand for
many years to come; he will prob
ably be remembered for his work
as long as they play baseball, but
so, too, will the Clarksons and the
Radbournes, and there is sufficient

glory for all in the eras they rep
resent.
But as for belittling the work of
the old-time stars—NO, I wasn’t
there to see them, hut I've been
told, and I believe.
Big league scouts engaged in
beating the far sticks report that
there is little promising baseball
material in sight, although this
seems to be the usual cry at this
time of year. They also say that
the minor league owners want too
much for what few prospects there
are. The amount reputed to have
been paid for Marly O'Toole, and
various other players last season,
has inflated the ideas of .the small
owners, and they decline to talk
anything but young fortunes at this
season of the year.
For instance. .Kansas City, of the
American association, has a short
stop modestly priced at $15.0(H) He
is ‘Red" Corrlden. who was once
in the big show with St. Louis. In
137 games with Kansas City last
season Corrlden hit .247 and stole
li bases. They sav he has im
proved since then. He must have,

in automobile construction.
More than 75,000 new Fords into service
this season—proof that they must be right.

if he is valued at 215,000.
At that rate, aa Arthur Shafer,
of the Giants, who has hit .287 in
37 games and stolen 15 bases,
should be worth at least 230,000.
