2nd - Rogers Hornsby
3rd - Pie Trayor
Left - Fred Clark
Center - Clarence Beaumont
Right - Willie Keeler
Pitchers - Grover Alexander, Mathewson, Young
He didn’t name himself at Short Stop but did mention Cubs ((( which I would assume is Tinker)
Also mentioned Rune Waddell but ask he was to erratic. No Ruth or Cobb on his list. But still fun to compare.

Interesting, thanks for posting!
It looks like we see Bill Terry, Pie Traynor, Christy Mathewson, and Cy Young on both lists. Seems like Terry and Traynor were held in much higher regard at that time I suppose, even over the span of these articles (1936-1951).
