Show SISLER PICTURED AS A PERFECT PLAYER v -v . a ' ' CS "-- - yMt George Sisler Can Do Anything in Baseball. The more the fans gaze upon George Sisler of the Browns the more they 6ecome convinced that he is the perfect ball player a youth who, in time, may dim the luster of many of the brightest stars that ever shone in the baseball firmament. Sisler Is a poem of motion. He is graceful to the extreme. Every move he makes is a pretty thing to watch. He is quite a sizeable youth and carries a lot of weight, but he is wonderfully proportioned. Lajoie was considered one of the most graceful-men that ever stepped upon a ball field, yet those who have seen Sisler, and also the great Larry in his prime, pass the laurels to Sisler. There Is nothing in a baseball way that Sisler cannot do and do better ' than the average ball player. He is a grand hitter, and his hits exude that same Z-z-zing that used to come from the bats of Wagner, Lajoie, Delehanty and other clouters. Sisler is a sped demon. He can travel to first as fast as any man In the game. Few, If any men, can beat him in a dash from home plate to second base. He reachtj the crest of his great speed after he makes the turn. Sisler originally was pitcher for tM University of Michigan. Now he's first basing for the Browns because they need him there more than they do in the pitcher's box. Put him anywhere In the lineup and he's a star. He can play any position with equal brilliancy. And wherever he is put he covers acres of ground and demonstrates that he is one of the greatest all-aronn4 ball players the game has produced. And, best of all, Sisler has brains. He is one of those players of tLe Cobb-Evers-Collins type players who play, not only with the hands and feet, but with their heads as well. |
