The great ex-Fcdeial league boss ' Christmas package consisted of a few-commentaries few-commentaries on the Federal league (al ent that ought to make good in I be American and Xational leagues during the coming season. As Manager Jones's advice on sm-h matters is worth about lo.OOO -per season, sea-son, no doubt his views on the matter will be accepted with considerable interest in-terest over and about the effete cast. All-stars on Jones's List. Fs-.bt-ive of the Chicago and St.-t Louis Federal clubs, which will be amah gamated with the Cubs and Browns, the following all-stars adorn Maunder Jones 's 1 it : Knnas City Pitchers, 'Cullop, Johnson.

St. 'Louis Fed siars Jones is known .to bo "sweet ou arc: Catcher H.i,rtlev, 'first Baseman Borton, Shortstop 'Johnson, 'John-son, Outfielders Tobin, Marsans and Miller and Pitchers Plank, Davenport and Ciaudall. , Chifeds Have No Stare. He says that the Chicago FeuVrals have no particular stars, although Leslie Les-lie Mann, ex-Seattle outfielder. and Fischer are mighty good hall flavors. "Benny Kauff' and Lee Mngee of Brooklyn; Hal Chase of Buffalo and Fd Konetchy of Pittsburg Hre four of the greatest stars of tho baseball universe," uni-verse," declared Manager Jones just before be-fore he stepped aboard his train' bound for Sr. Louis. "Hal Chase is undoubtedly the greatest great-est tlrtt-sacker in the world. Konctoliv and .-llHfree are not far behind lihn. f.-st ' base is Mice's nattiial position. He is a w-onderfu!ly Improved player. Magec hi! MZ0 and stole thirty-seven irascs last season sea-son for Brooklyn. Newark Outfield Praised. "The entire Newark outfield is a peach," added Jones. "Campbell, tin., Id Aberdeen outfielder, hit .:I17 for Newark. Kauff of Brooklyn, tlfBiigh, is second onlv to Tyriis Cobb as the greatest player in the world. , ' j "Kansas City bas a. quartette of preyt' pitchers in .Mains. Cullop. Johnson and Packard. Cullop is a wise left-hander, formerly of the CleCvland club. I believe be-lieve he was supposed to come to the Portland Coast league club w-hen he made the hurdle to the Federals. Culloyi has a. trick of seratehint,' the ball with hilT-.ci-nalls. thereby producing ati enter:,- ball effect. ve had to have half a dozen balls thrown out of every game in which ho worked. Class in Kenworthy. "I think Kenworthy of the Ka -fes is ptood enough to stick in the big leagues as an outfielder, but not as an infielrler, because he boots too many balls. Kenworthy is a mighty good hitter one of the extra -base kind. He hit thirty doubles last season. "There are others besides those I have enumerated," added the St. Louis leader, as the colored porter began beckoning him to hoard the rattler. "Sevetal others may stick and make good, rut, offhand, I would say that no Aiorican ur .Xational league manager would get 'gold-bricked' by going afier those i have ntentioned." |
