TROUBLES OF A STAR
Not
Such a Cinch as it Would
Appear on Paper.
Why Detroit Tigers, Wild Fighting,
Team of American League, Are
Pennant Winners Known
as "Basket of Crags."
"Did you ever stop to think why
Detroit, the wild fighting team of the
American league, three-times pennant
winner, is known among ball play-
ers as a 'basket of crags'? says Ed-
ward Lyell Fox, in the Outing mag-
azine.
"At the beginning of 1907 they
were a genial, happy-go-lucky crew;
now they're testy. At that time De-
troit was a team of newly born
stars. For some reason they had
never forged their way into the thick
of the pennant fight, into the strain
of mind and body. They were con-
tent to ramble along, playing in
flashes, hitting some days in a way
to break up any game, only to drop
back into the old lackadaisical ways.
Then Jennings, their shrewd man-
ager, solved the problem and by his
own inimitable personality brought a
fighting spirit to each of them. The
result was that for three consecutive
years Detroit rushed through the
American league, carrying off the pen-
nant in gruelling races.
"They played like madmen, always
fighting until the last chance was
gone. No point was trivial enough for
them to yield without the bitterest op-
position.
"Then they fell—fell as hard as
they had battled four racking sea-
sons in a row—and Philadelphia beat
them down. And by this time the
metamorphosis from the free and easy
players of 1906 to the red Tigers of
1910 had been completed. Day after
day the strain had increased and set
deeper into the stars. Even the best-
natured of them began to find fault
with trivial things.
"Once big-hearted Sam Crawford
flew into a rage at something said by
Cobb. De^afhanty, another star, became
provoked at the least instance. Bush,
Moriarty, Jones, Mullin, Donovan
were ready to quarrel, rave, even
fight without provocation. All of them
were stars and paying the price.
" 'But,' you may say, 'these men are
paid wonderful salaries for undergoing
the strain.'
"Let us see:
"Cobb, we are told, draws $9,000 a
year from Detroit. Marquard may get
$5,000 from New York; Walsh receives
A Philadelphia man has gone to
Brazil to take moving pictures of the
iboa constrictor. Imagine asking a boa
constrictor to look pleasant!
Two brothers have been brought to-
gether, after many years of separation,
by means of a tattoo mark—which Is
the only excuse for tattooing.
Manager Hugh Jennings.
$5,000 from Chicago; Lajole, $7,000
from Cleveland; Mathewson $7,500
from New York.
"Consider, too, that the average sal-
ary of the major /league player is $1,-
500 and that the usual term of use-
fulness in the American or National
Is eight years. Three of these years
are consumed in becoming a star, a
low salary accompanying the develop-
ing process. Then come, say six years
with a star's salary, and then, the
zenith passed, the slow retrogression
with the pay envelope keeping pace.
So, as a rule, a star's average salary
for the time he is in major league
baseball is about half that which he
receives when the sporting pages are
carrying his name.
MILLIONAIRE KID IN BASEBALL
Philadelphia Athletics Have Immense-
ly Wealthy Youth Working Out
With Team Daily.
Philadelphia has a million dollar kid
working out with the team every day.
His name is Titman, his fortune im-
mense and his weight 350 pounds.
When he gratified his whim to go
south with the Athletics, he tipped
the balance at 410 pounds but through
his activity in chasing flies and run-
ning bases has managed to detract 960
ounces of the superfluous avoidupois
from his bulky system. When he
comes in on the Infield, play is block-
ed temporarily and fielding impossi-
ble and 'tis said that while going
through the subway from the park
the other day he got up in the car and
gave four women his seat.
"Sunny Jim" Was Tickled.
It Is doubtful if there was another
tnan in Washington as much pleased
over the settlement of the strike of
the Detroit players as Vice-President
Sherman. He was at the game Mon-
day and when the announcement pas
made that the strike had been settled
he wai heard to remark to his friends
in the private box:
"Gee, whiz, Tm glad of that; I won-
der if Cobb is going to play here?"
The vice-president is a great ad-
mirer of Tjjus and while it wouldn't
do for him to indorse the action taken
in New Yo^k by the fiery Georgian, it
is more than possible that it wouldn't
be hard to secure his forgiveness.

Harry Krause, Southpaw, Sent to Toledo.
When Connie Mack sent Pitcher
Harry Krause down to Toledo the
wise ones shook their heads sagely
and whispered that the Athletics are
done as pennant contenders for this
year at least. They looked on the re-
lease of Krause as a confession of
the weakness of Mack's pitching staff,
the first break in his line of veterans.
It means that Mack had resolved to
depend on newcomers and take a long
chance. Krause was the American
league sensation in 1909, but seemed
BALL GAME VERY UNCERTAIN
to shoot his entire bolt that year.
Never strong, he was ill the next year
and though he went better in 1911,
could not stand the going as a big
league twlrler must. * This spring he
took on weight and believed he would
show strength, but when his services
were needed most, with Bender lame
and Coombs hurt, he failed, and Mack
let him go to make room for a desper-
ate chance—some new collegian. And
that is all Mack seems to have as a
pennant hope—a desperate chance.
Bill Dahlen Gets Fourteen Chances at
Short, While Jack Glasscock
Didn't Have One.
The uncertainties of baseball were
shown in a game that St. Louis and
Chicago played on May 7, 1895. Bill
Dahlen, playing shortstop for the
Cubs, had and accepted 14 chances at
his position. Johnny Glasscock at
Bill Dahlen.
short for the Browns did not have a
chance during the entire nine innings
of play.
Dahlen was afterwards released to
the Boston National league team and
finally landed as manager of the
Brooklyns, the position he now occu-
pies.
Cause of Many Injuries.
This is the year 1912. Count the
four figures in the year. They total
13. Ball players are prone to point
to that in explaining the large amount
of Injuries sustained by players this
season. Never have the injured lists
of clubs been so heavy. Accidents In
ball games are daily occurrences. It
is getting so that players think be-
fore taking chances in fielding and
they are shy about "hitting the dirt"
in running bases

Chicago, 111.—Its closing hours at-
tended by exhibitions of tense partisan
and personal feeling among its mem-
bers, the republican national commit-
tee concluded Saturday night the hear-
ing of the contests involving 254 seats
in the national convention.
The sum of its work is: Roosevelt,
19; Taft, 235.
President Taft Saturday received
sixty-two delegates, Colonel Roosevelt
six.
All of Washington's fourteen went
to the president against the protests
of Senator Poindexter that the "coun-
try would judge the case." Out of
Texas he has secured twenty-six of
the contested thirty over the pros-
trate form of Colonel Cecil Lyon, who
declared, "You may depose me now,
but 1 will be back four years from
now, when many of you will not"
In Virginia the president received
the entire contested delegation of
twenty. In the District of Columbia
he won two, Committeeman Sydney
Bieber going to defeat with the Roose-
velt delegation.
Colonel Lyon fought each of the
Texas contest cases personally, and
was defeated in all but two of them.
Would Investigate Texas Party.
In the end he was called upon to
fight a resolution for an investigation
and reorganization of the whole struc-
ture of the republican party in Texas.
Presented by Thomas L. Devic of
Colorado, it proposed a subcommittee
of three from the national committee
to attempt a change in the republican
organization of the state that would
destroy the system of county repre-
sentation described by the Taft at-
torneys as a survival of the "rotten
borough" methods of England.
Committeeman Lyon declared he
would fight such a proposal to the
end. He said many of the members
of the committee thus trying to de-
pose him had been themselves de-
posed, and would be missing from
the committee four years from now,
when he would again return.
Repetition of Historic Incident
"I have heard much recently of the
'one hundred days and the return
from Elba,'" he said. "I give you f&ir
warning that if you persist in the way
you are going there will be a repeti-
tion of another historic incident the
'commune.'" *
The Washington cases, almost the
last to engage the committee's atten-
tion before the conclusion of its ten
days' work, were preceded by a threat-
ened personal combat between Fran-
cis J. Heney and Committeeman Ken-
nedy of North Dakota, which was pre-
vented only by the interference of
their associates.

"For ten years or more I suffered
from dyspepsia and stomach trouble,
caused by the use of coffee (Tea con-
tains caffeine, the same drug found
In coffee), until I got so bad I had to
give up coffee entirely and almost give
up eating. There were times when I
could eat only boiled milk and bread;
and when I went to the field to work
I had to take some bread and butter
along to give me strength.
