A Cleveland newspaper has tak en op the Idea and the plan Is to put over "Jamieson Day" as a big event later In the season. Baseball glory passe? rapidly. FaM see In the Yankees one of the great est pennant-winning aggregations ever presented on the diamond, but tMey don't stop to think that of the team that won the Yankees' first pennant in 1921, only three men remain Ruth, Meusel and Uoyt Gone are all the others. You may recall that the Yankees won the first two games of the 1921 scries and then lost five of the next six games to a team that would not be denied the New York Giants. That performance ranked the Giants as even greater than the Yanks, but now the glory of these 1921 Giants has gone with the snows of yesteryear. writes Ed Bang In the Cleveland News. Today not a single Giant of 1921 continues In a McGraw uniform. Frisch, Bancroft, Earl Smith and Art Nehf are still In the National league, but they are against find not for the Giants. The pennants of 1920 were won by Cleveland and Brooklyn. Today only four of those Cleveland Indians con tinue on Cleveland's pay roll Burns, Joe Sewell, Jamieson and Uble. More sweeping still are the changes that have taken place tn Brooklyn. Look over Uncle Robbie's pay roll and you will find not a single player who helped - Brooklyn to Its pennant of eight years ago. Washington has today only nine of the twenty-one players who participated partici-pated In the world series of 1924 and Pittsburgh retains , but seven of the eighteen men who took part In the' series of 1923 three years ago. The survivors are Grantham, Traynor, Wright Barnhart Smith, Meadows and Kremer. . Evidently big league managers are convinced that the way to win pennants pen-nants is to provide a steady infusion of new blood. This new blood costs a lot of money and more often It falls than succeeds, but baseball Is a business busi-ness now and the crowds evidently tire of old faces in the same old uniforms.. uni-forms.. Things were different in the pioneer days. From 1880 to 1886 Inclusive, Anson's Chlcagoes won five pennants-In pennants-In seven years, and In that period Anse had practically the same team. In 1880 his lineup read this way: Anson, first base ; Quest second base ; Williamson, third base; Burns, short stop ; Dalrymple and Gore, outfielders ; Kelly and Flint, catchers and outfield ers ; Corcoran and Goldsmith, pitchera In 1886, Pfeffer had replaced Quest at second base. Jimmy Ryan and Billy Sunday had been added as outfielders. while Flint and Kelly devoted them selves to catching exclusively. Clark son and McCormlck were doing the pitching. Thus In seven years, three men had retired and five new men had been added. Moreover, Anson's entire pay roll cost a great deal less per year than Is now paid Babe Ruth individually. . . , - Yet when It Is all said and done, Anson's team did as much In Its time as the Yankees have done in later years, L e., won five pennants In seven years. - , Twins Are Professional Players on Selma Team The James boys Ebb and Fob are believed to be the only twins In professional pro-fessional baseball.
