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 sees 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 years, for rarely does any club come put of a training season with a pair of Kohinoors 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 waß hlttin ’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 1 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 mdved 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 hiß 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 sprelooking mitt when we walked toward the bench. “ ‘Call that a bunt? 1 asked Larry, aa 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. ‘Come on there, Larry, play in close to the bag. This fellow will outguess you this time and bunt.’ “ ‘ls he goipgto bunt again?* asked Larry. j* “ ’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, Wallle, 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 to 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 flts 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.

WANTS 3,000 BINGLES

Big Tiger Outfielder Is Out After New Record. Ordinary Hitting In Seasons of 1915 and 1916 Will Bend Sam Crawford Under Wire to Heele of Hans Wagner and Lajoie. 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 honor could go, and that is Sam Crawford. The big outflelding star haß 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 hitß. 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 can 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 for 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 Is 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.

PLAN 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 players in 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 this should not be staged for their benefit, especially ’« it promises ample returns.

WOOL SROWIN6 IK GANMU A SUCCESS This By-Product of the Farm Will Make Many Western Canada Farmers Rich. I '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 aB pointed out, there is good money to be made out of them. —Advertisement.

The first baseman had jifirt 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.”
