ter Johnson and Ty Cobb $150,000
on Manager McGraw.
To guard against the loss that would
be occasioned by the death of or Injury
to their ball players while riding on
public conveyances, 14 major league
clubs are paying premiums on m-arly
$3,000,000 worth of accident Insurance
policies, covering thefr men. The Cin
cinnati Nationals and New York
American league clubs are the only
ones that do not carry insurance on
their players, but it is said that they
are negotiating at present with insur
ance companies and will soon insure
them.
Walter Johnson, the Washington
pitcher, recently was Insured for $100,
000. while a $100,000 policy has been
carried for a number of years on Ty

In addition to an extra policy car

Gregg and Manager Birmingham, the
Cleveland club, it is said, carries about
$250,000 on its players.

but it is said that both teams carried
about $3,000 on the team proper and
an additional $25,000 on the manager.
None of these policies" covers injuries
received on the ball field. The clubs
have repeatedly tried to get such poll
cies, but the insurance companies re

money they would have to pay oiit
each year for injuries to ball players
on the field would be more than the
Bum they would collect in premiums
The New York National league club
carries the heaviest insurance of any
club In the big leagues. Its players

on each of the players. In addition to
this it carries $40,000 extra on Mathew

BALTIMORE TRIO PICKED AS
BEST BY ONE CRITIC.
Keeler, Kelley and Brodle Were Hard
Hitters and Clever Fielders Davy
Jones Spoiled Chances of De
troit for Greatness.
There have been so many good out
fields in the history of the diamond
that to pick, out one and name it as !
the best would be sure to start an
argument It may be difficult for pres
ent day fans to acknowledge a trio,
better than Speaker, Hooper and Lew
is, the Red Sox wonders of 1912; or
Oldring, Walsh and Murphy. But tana.
recalling stars of other days, will voice
the cpinion that there were outfielders
n the past able to throw dust in the
eyes of the greatest of today, says a
baseball writer.
In 1S79 or 18S0 Providence boasted
an outfield composed of Jim O'Rourke,
Paul Hines and Tom York. They hit
collectively about .340,. but were not
high class fielders. Recently five out
fields have been named as the best in
the game. These, according to rank.
were the trios of Baltimore In 1894, of
Brooklyn in 1900, of Boston in 1897, of
the Red Sox in 1912, and Detroit in
1909.
JuBt as the Athletic infield orb been
praised, have Speaker, Lewis and
Hooper been lauded to the skies, but
are they the equal of Keeler, Kelley
and Brodle, of the Orioles, or Keeler,
Fielder Jones tnd Sbeckard of Brook
lyn? Keeler was .the cleverest man in
baseball. In 1894, with Baltimore, he
batted .367, and in 1900 he batted .366
for Brooklyn. This brings the supe
riority of either of these outfields
down to four men, Brodle and Keeler,
Jones and Sheckard, for Keeler was
equally good with both teams.
Barring Keeler, Walter Brodie was
the most uncanny judge of a fly ball
that ever spoiled a base hit. He owned
a fine arm and batted .369, compared
to Sheckard's .305, but Sheck offset
the difference by working pitchers for
bases on balls frequently.
Joe Kelley was a terrific hitter, bat
ting close to .400, and often for extra
bases. Opposed to him, Fielder Jones
was one of tha craftiest men in the
game, and, while nowhere near Kel
ley's equal as a batter, he narrowed
the margin by his cunning. But first
place must go to Kelley.
Had Davy Jones been a .300 batter,
Detroit's 1909 outfield would have
ranked with those of Baltimore and
Brooklyn, but despite the brilliancy of
Cobb and the slugging of Sam Craw
ford, Davy's failure as a reliable bat
ter prevented the trio from becoming
immortal.
No two men, not if they were both
Cobbs, can overcome the weakness
of a mediocre player, because the ideal
outfield must be a smooth working
machine, with every man capable of
doing what the others are capable of.
to maintain the balance.
Clarke, Beaumont and Sebrlng of
Pittsburgh, were a wonderful outfield.
hard hitting, fast fielding, although Se-
bring's inconsistency caused him to
fall below the other two.
