HAS CRAVATH LOST WALLOP?

Home-Run King Not Doing Much With Bat This Season —Hinted He Will Be Replaced. Has Cactus Cravath lost his wallop? Thehome-run king has not done any great execution with his bat so far this 8 season and as he is not a very fast outfielder It may be possible that he will be replaced before the season Is very much further advanced. The Phillies have recently signed Claude Cooper, who was with the Brookfeds last season, and it is whispered that Cooper has been secured in the belief that Cravath is slipping. Cooper had a $7,500 contract with the

Tip Tops, but was satisfied to sign with President William F. Baker of,the Philadelphia club, at a much lower figure.
