Jim Callahan has one of the big- 1 gest problems on his hands that ever confronted a big league manager. It is the problem of doing the im possible finding a successor to Honus Wagner. For the first time in some 20 years the Pittsburgh club will take the field without the services of the great German, one of the greatest natural ballplayers of all time and the idol of Pittsburgh fans. Matrimony and increasing difficul ties in keeping in condition have caused Wagner to leave basebalL Salary was no consideration. Wagner was the first to realize he could not expect a big salary this year and at a meeting in Pittsburgh several months ago agreed to play for a largely reduced salary, if he played at all. But Wagner will never play Na tional league baseball again, which means he will never play baseball again, and this furnishes Callahan's problem. Let's see what Callahan has for the shortstop position which Wagner has filled for two decades. He "has three prospects, Jim Mc- Auley, Alex McCarthy and Charley Ward. At present there is no certain in dication any one of them will last out the season, because not one of them has shown any batting strength. McCarthy and Ward are brilliant fielders, and Ward looks particularly good in this capacity. McAuley played well enough with Rochester last year, but may need more minor league experience. Right now Dreyfuss realizes he will have to develop one of the three into a hitting infielder or go out dur ing the season and buy another man, and Dreyfuss knows it is no easy proposition to buy up good infielders who can hit and field. Every club in both leagues wants them. o o Spring Lake, N. J. Stanley New man, 6, bit into golf bulL Acid ui its center killed, him. --... ,.--.- . - -- ,,.- .i j AAAAqjAaAiAaite
