It looks like the article indicates this is Honus Wagner's National League all-time team, which probably explains the absence of Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth and Walter Johnson, and the inclusion of Clarence Beaumont, for crying out loud.

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.
