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 ■ ■ - - •* ati ' IU C»o 3 .?

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, Put wings on the Ford and it would fly—almost.

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. while a Jack Barry would run up into six figures. J.-J I.
