PIRATES LUCKY TO SECURE TWO RECRUITS

Any major league club that lands two first-class players from among its annual crop of recruits can figure handsome returns from training camp investments. Catcher Bob Schang and Shortstop Walter Gerber are the two big finds of the season from the Pirate viewpoint, and it is doubtful if any other club has picked up material of the same karat as these two. Enough was seen of Schang and Gerber in the fall to warrant big things of them. Both have shown unmistakable signs of becoming stars in their respective positions. If Clarke does not get another good man out of the entire squad, he can consider the 1915 experiments the most productive in ydars, for rarely ddes any club come out of a training season with a pair of Kohinoora like Schang and Gerber. Both were badly needed in their respective positions and both have made good in every sense of the word. Schang, according to no less an authority than George Gibson, is the greatest catcher that has been on the Pirate roster in ten years. His speed

LARRY SCHLAFLY WAS LUCKY

Joe Tinker Tells Amusing Story About Manager of Buffalo Feds—Afraid of Wagner's Bunts. Larry Schlafly, now a Federal league manager, was playing third base for the Cubs against Pittsburgh some years ago. About that time Hans Wagner was hittin ’em a mile-a-min-ute. It was like getting in front of a rifle ball to stop one of Hans’ drives. Joe Tinker now tells the story: '“I played deep at short, but I always played very deep for Wagner. I looked around In the third Inning of this particular game and there I saw Schlafly as far back as I was. " 'Get In there, Larry,’ I said. ‘This fellow will bunt on you.’ “Larry moved in toward third. Just then Wagner caught hold of an out curve and hooked the ball down toward Schlafly. It was going like a

bullet. Larry stuck out his right hand, the ball hit his fingers and bounced into the bleachers. The ball almost smashed Schlafly’s hand. It began to swell, and it was a sorelooking mitt when we walked toward ttiG bench. “ ‘Call that a bunt?* asked Larry, as he left the field. I said nothing. I knew how his hand pained him. “In the sixth inning Wagner was at bat again. I looked around for Larry and he was playing deeper than myself. iCome on there, Larry, play in close to the bag. This fellow will outguess you this time and bunt.’ “ ‘ls he going to bunt again ?’ asked Larry. “ ‘Sure he’ll bunt,’ I replied. “'Me for the fence, shouted Larry.’’

Gerber and Schang.

and alertness, his wonderful throwing and his ability to bunt, bat and run bases are essentials of Bob that have made many critics figure him even a better backstop than his illustrious brother, Wallie, of the Philadelphia Athletics. “The man for Wagner’s place” has been somewhat of a myth or a joke for many years, but Gerber has loomed up as the certainty and in a manner that leaves little to be desired in the short field from a new man who essays tb fill the position of the greatest that ever lived. As a fielder Gerber already is being compared by Pirate veterans with the greatest shortfield defenders of the day. He hits well enough to compensate for his other efforts and he fits well Into the combination with Wagner finding a nice little job somewhere else in the first line of Pirate defenses. Schang and Gerber cannot really be included among this year’s crop, as they were tried out in the fall of last year. Both, however, were rather unknown quantities, and they took their chances in the South with the rest.

STORIES Of the DIAMOND

Federal league umpires have been ordered to speed up the games. • • • Manager Herzog is very enthusiastic over the Cincinnati team this season. • • • With Lajoie, Kopf, Barry and Mclnnis on it, how can Connie Mack’s infield be neutral. • • • If Connie could intern Tris Speaker and Dutch Leonard, his chances wouldn’t be so bad. • • • Lee Magee will have a hard time with the umpires thia year, judging from the start he has made. • • • Infielder Bloom and pitcher Peddy, have been released by the Albany club of the South Atlantic league. The White Sox have proved to be one of the very best drawing cards in the American league, again thia spring. • • • Jim Thorpe may not be rated as a star ball player by the experts, but he certainly can rap the horsehide hard. In the New England league the Fitchburg club has released catcher Gus Yelle and outfielders O’Connell and Vance. • a • Larry Chappell, the player for whom Comiskey paid abput |IB,OOO in cash and players, says he is .ready to play ball once more. The Freeport club of the new BlState league, has been organized with C. W. Mlddlekauff president and H. S. (‘‘Doc’’) Cummings, manager. • • * Ellis Johnson, the Sox pitcher who was sent, to the Vernon club of the Pacific coast league, will likely be back with the Sox again next year. .' • • • Hooks Wiltae is proving a popular leader with the Jersey City fans, and it looks as if the Skeeters would be raised from the rut during the coming season. • • • Bin Rodgers, the new second base' man of the Cleveland Indians, has a freak appetite. Bill insists on eating raw meat and orders his eggs raw and eats them from the shell. * • • • Ivan Howard, who is one of the Browns again this year, has made himself a very useful member by being a close observer. -He is said to be one of the best sign snitchen in the game

WANTS 3,000 BINGLES

Big Tiger Outfielder Is Out After New Record. Ordinary Hitting In Seasons of 1915 and 1915 Will Send Sam Crawford Under Wire on to Heels of Hans Wagner and Lajoio. Another couple of seasons will find Detroit in possession of a slugger who will have charge of 3,000 major league base hits —it doesn’t take any great amount of baseball knowledge to figure the athlete; there’s only one Tiger to whom that hdbor could go, and that is Sam Crawford. The big outfielding star has been with Detroit for twelve years. In the seasons of 1904 to 1914 inclusive Crawford made 2,031 hits, an average of slightly better than 184 to a season. Crawford broke into major league baseball in 1899 as a member of the Cincinnati National league team. In about thirty games he made thirty-two hits. His years as a Tiger and the total of his hits art tabulated thus: 1904, 141; 1905, 227; 1906, 166; 1907, 188; 1908, 177; 1909, 183; 1910, 167; 1911, 217;’1912, 189; 1913, 193; 1914, 183. The statistics of modern day baseball are somewhat deficient, but figuring that the slugger made an average of 184 hits a season, which he undoubtedly did, it cap be found that in the seasons of 1900 to 1903 inclusive he collected 736 safe swats, thus bringing the total for his career to 2,767. Just ordinary hitting in the seasons of 1915 and 1916 will send “Wahoo Sam” under the wire and on to the heels of Hans Wagner and Larry Lajoie, the only other veterans to reach the mark. Crawford proposes setting a mark that will stand for all time. He has set upon 3,500 as the total for his hits,

Sam Crawford.

and, reaching this mark, he will just about put up a mark foi* all hitters to shoot at Harry Tuthill, trainer of the team, says Crawford has at least five more years to go as a major league star. “Unless meeting with an accident, there is no reason why Crawford should not continue playing almost indefinitely,*' declared Tuthill. “Sam takes better care of himself than any other player in baseball; probably better care of himself than any other man in the country. “He starts training for a season with the beginning of the year. He eliminates all pastries from his foodstuffs; he doesn’t drink at any time; he never smokes during the training season and seldom out of it; he lives regularly, eats regularly, and when a healthy man at the beginning keeps up a life like this there is no reason why he should not continue playing baseball almost as long as he wishes. “Crawford is an Ideal player. He Js a player every one looks upon with favor, and he carries the respect of teammates and opposing players. He is easily handled, and when a man carries this, record there is nothing to fear.” If Crawford makes good on his hopes the chances favor the creation of a record of more than 3,500 hits.

PUN POST-WORLD’S SERIES

President Tener Advances Proposition to Have Champions Play Against a Picked Team. President John K. Tener of the National league advances the attractive proposition to stage a post-wOrld’s series on the Pacific coast next fall. The proposition involves the world’s champions against a picked team o. the best playersiin the various leagues. To say the least this is novel, and I have no doubt it will be extremely taking to the baseball followers on the coast who have little opportunity to see the big fellows in action except during training seasons. In order to accomplish what President Tener proposes certain legislation will have to be put through the national bodies, but if the rulers are convinced that the meet would be attractive and profitable, there is little doubt that the necessary legislation will be forthcoming. The people of the Pacific coast are good ball patrons, and I see no reason why a post-series game like thia should not be staged for their benefit, especially '« it promises ample re* turns. "

WOOL SHOWING IN CANADA A SUCCESS

This By-Product of the Farm Will Make Many Western Canada Farmers Rich. Z'.berta wool growers are looking for 25 cent wool this year. That is the assertion made by a prominent sheepman of the Grassy Lake district. “It Is quite within the pale of possibility that we will receive that figure from our wool this summer,” said he, ‘‘and I would not be surprised to see some get more than that. “The war has caused a great demand to be made on the woolen mills, and they have got to have the raw material.' The present season has been most propitious for the growing of wool, and the growers expect to reap a big harvest of a splendid quality. The winter has been very even, and the sheep are doing well on the ranges. No special breed of sheep is kept on Western Canada farms, and all seem to do well. The advice of those interested in the welfare of the farmers of Western Canada, advise all who can at all do so to enter upon the raising of sheep. They have proved most profitable to those who go into that industry on a scale commensurate with their means, and their farm area. The climate is perfectly adapted to the raising of sheep, they are easily kept, and as pointed out, there is good money to be made out of them. —Advertisement.

Brothers in Misfortune.

The first baseman had just been carried off the diamond with a sprained wrist and a dislocated shoulder. On the way to the hospital the amulance stopped to pick up a janitor who had fallen downstairs. “We meet quite by accident,” said the ball player. “I am a first baseman.” * "And I,” said the janitor, "am a first basement man.”

Sick'Homan Reliable evidence is abundant that women are constantly being restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound The many testimonial letters tnat we are continually put> lishing in the newspapers—-hundreds of them—are all genuine, true and unsolicited expressions of heartfelt gratitude for the freedom from suffering that has come to these women solely through the use of Lydia E.

Read this one from Mrs. Waters: Camden, NJ.—“I was sick for two years with nervous spells, and my kidneys were affected. I had a doctor all the time and used a galvanic battery, but nothing did me any good. I was not able to go to bed, spent my time on a couch or in a sleeping-chair, and soon became almost a skeleton. Finally my doctor went away for his health, and my husband heard of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and got me some. In two months I got relief and now I am lika a new woman and am at my usual weight. I recommend your medicine to every one and so does my husband.”—Mrs. Tmua Waters, 530 Mechanic Street, Camden, NJ.
