GRIDIRON STARS SOON FORGOTTEN Even Names of Heroes of Foot ball Hard to Remember The fame of football stars Is short lived. With each succeeding football feason, the heroes of the gridiron are forgotten. Hasehall heroes have a inm-h stronger hold on fame than the prldiron stars. It Is really surprising how quickly the foothrillers drop out of sluht. Perhaps the best explanation of this condition is that Hie average career of a fooihajl playi-r never exceeds four years, nnd very often he iI.hm not develop into a real star until his ilast year at college. On the other hand Hie career of the baseball pla.er de pends entirely on his ability to deliv er. 'l oothall players retire from tin game usually when at their best, while baseball stars refuse to quit u.i a rule until released. Ty Cobb was a star in ptoC, and is still a star. Now he Is very much before the public because of his demand of $1'.(mii from the Detroit club. Another good reason for the fleet imr fame or the gridiron star is the short ness of the playing season, also the fact that only ne game a week. Is the nile. Hnsehnll on the other hand calbi for a game i day for six months, and In the off season the scribes seem abl--to find something ,,f Interest to write about the big men in baseball. I'n questionably, the publicity given base ball men by the press, keeps them in the memory of fandom. A few year ago Coy, TVwitt. Wen UH, Spraokllng, McOovern, and a host of other football heroes were much In the public eye. Finishing thir careers at college, entering into some other field, their athletic, prow ness was soon forgotten. McLEAN BREAKS ARM. Former Cincinnati Catcher in Billiard Hall Rumpus. Cincinnati.
