Show YOU (CAN NEVER TELL . NEW YORK, Aug. 3 Ball players' ages are very often hard to judge. When a man has been before tho public pub-lic for eight or ten years the fans are prone to regard him as a real old tlm- er, yet they err frequently in their es- timates of an athlete's age. "When the recent decision on the work or fight order was issued by Secretary of War Baker many local fans were of tho opinion that Larry Doyle was over the ago and would be spared to the Giants, yet Larry bobbed up with a registration registra-tion card which showed that is in Class 4A of the draft On top of that John McGraw wired to Otis Crandall, who has been pitching in the Pacific Coast League, to find out how he stood and Otis, who is a real vetern replied that he is in Class -1A. And it wasn't so long ago that Bob Harmon, Har-mon, resenting the application of tho word "old" to him, produced a registration regis-tration card, showing that he is twenty-nine years old. |
