ALWAYS THERE WITH PUNCH " Rr FtlAK O. Can It be that tha rhillles' management refused to use the Athletics' park be cause they didn't want to handicap "Cactus" Cravsth, tha well known home run soaker? There's a short fence In the. Phillies' park thst .'a the particular target for Cravath'a bombardments every time he goes to hat on the home grounds; it's in right Venter, and deapita the fact that Oravath la a right-handed clouter, he has lifted- the borsehlde over the fence ever and nnorl. Cravath'a I'tt'e trick has won 'many games for the Phillies in days gone by and probably the Phlllle owners figured that "Cactua" might bust up a world scries game or so If permitted to club 'em out In his home ball lot. One of. the oddities concerning that short' field la that Cravath la about the only player who can amaah a ball over tt yet he has done It often and easily. Last summer thn Phillies and Pirates were playing In Philadelphia and Cra vath broke up the game with a drive over that particular section of the fence. Dreyfaaa ftpoffed rravaih and "That boy Is some clubber aome club ber" enthuslsstically exclaimed William FV Baker, owner of the Phillies, to Bar ney Dreyfus, owner of the Pirates, who was sitting In the stand with him. 'Huh!" snorted Bamev. "That's no trick. No wonder that Crav.vth gets so many home runs. Look at how short that right field Is." "Righto." retorted Baker, "but I don't see any of your players putting the ball over the fence." "Cravath won't do any homemn hitting In Pittsburgh," said Barney. "We've got a ball field therenot a hat box." A few weeks later the Phillies Invaded Pittsburgh, Cravath ambled to tha plate, picked out a choice offering of one of the Plrata pitchers, and knocked the ball over ' the left ' field fence the longest drive ever made in Plfteburgh and one of the longest ever made in major league base ball. , "Well, what have you got to say about Cravath now?" asked Baker of Preyfuss. "I got this to say accidents will hsp pon," answered Barney, considerably miffed, because .that swat - raibbed the Pirates of another game. Cravath Always m Mlaaa-er. miffed, because that swat robbed the runs that won Cravath a second trial In the major leagues. .Cravath got bis flrat major league chance with the Red Sox in 1908. He was found wanting and was turned over to tha .White 8ox, which club quickly equip ped him .with a one way ticket to Washington. The Senators gave him a brief trial, decided he was tr- slow and too crude and "shooed" him. off to Min neapolis In the fa'l Of 190. ' Cravath upon entering the American association Immediately began hla fence busting tactics and when he hammered out twenty-nine circuit straps In 1911 the Phlllle scouts advised that he be given another major league chance. In 1D12-, while batting under the Phillies' standard he smashed out eleven home runs, although he did not participate In all tha games. In 1913 ha amassed a total of nineteen four-base blows and an nexed nineteen more In 111. ,' When the 1916 season opened Cravath had one real ambition that of smash ing the homerun record (twenty-five. In a j single season), made oy "buck" Herman, While, with tha Washington club In 1M, He succeeded In landing twenty-two times tbia year. .
