I DAKOTA COUNTY HERALD; DAKOTA CITY, NEBRASKA. V' ' in ii SAM CRAWFORD DISLIKES ROWDY TACTICS 8am Crawford, Kard-Hlttlng Tiger. Read for tho first tlmo tho truth nbout why Sam Crawford, tho slug ging outfield voteran of tho Detroit Tigers, refused to Jump to tho Feds when they tackled hlra upon tho arri val of tho world touring teams In New York. When tho big liner docked, sovoral Fed leaders wcro waiting at tho gang plank to buttonholo tho unslgnod big leaguers as they camo off tho ship. A Fed manager singled out Crawford In the throng and sot out to reach his ear. Between him and Crawford sov oral women wero standing. Tho Fed magnato did not wait for a chanco to walk around them, nor did he ask thorn to lot him walk through to seo Crawford. No, as soon as he spied Crawford, ho plunged Into tho midst of tho little group of women, football fashion, and with a sort of breast-stroke swimming movement of his arms, swept them aside and Bldled up to Crawford to whisper somothlng COACHING RULE TOO DRASTIC In his ear. Dut Crawford had seen tho act out of tho corner of his cyo. "Don't you talk to me, you rowdy bum!" ho exclaimed as ho shoved his big right hand In the Fed's mld-scctlon and jammed him with a bang up ngalnst tho Iron railing. Only tho fact that so many peoplo wero pres ent, including Crawford's wife, pre vented him from Bhowlng tho objec tlonablo Individual in moro forciblo manner what ho thought of a man that would uso rough and ready tactics of that sort Tho Fed later managed to Bay a few words to Crawford about his Fed eral leaguo proposition, and other Fed oral leaguers also spoke to him. Dut tho dlo was cast Whatever Craw ford might have done, otherwise, his mind was mado up that ho didn't wont any Federal leaguo business JuBt ns soon as ho saw tho Federal's ungol lantry exhibited In such a striking manner. GOOD STORY ON KLEM HOW "HIS UMP8" LANDED ROY THOMA8 OF QUAKER8. Managers Birmingham and Callahan Oppose Order Restricting Coach era at Third Base. Tho new rulo prohibiting coachera from touching a runner rounding third will bo ropealed before another sea son, if the rules committee will listen to Managor Birmingham, Tho Nap nabob Is opposed to tho new rulo as It now stands. Ho has the support of Managor Jimmy Calla han of tho White Sox. Doth docloro tho rulo Is too drastic, and prodlct it will reduce tho art of coaching to a moro formality.

Dill Klem, umpire In tho National Ioaguo, Is a prolific sourco when it comes to stories and rapidly is taking tho placp of Tim Hurst formerly of tho American leaguo In this specific respect. ThiB is told on Klom by "lied" Dooln, tho scrappy manager of tho leading Phillies. "Klom was umpiring a series for us at Philadelphia and our teams woro having considerable trouble with his decisions. Ho seemed o havo an off day or perhaps wo had. Dut anyhow, nothing went right. It got so Dill began canning men from tho gamo right and loft Wo didn't daro to evon open our faces or out wo'd go. "Roy Thomas was playing center field for us then. As most everybody knows, Roy was ono of the most peacenblo players who ever woro a uniform. Ho novor caused any trou bio for an umpire. "On this particular day Thomas vowed to himself ho wouldn't evon look at Klem. He was bound to stay In that gamo no matter what hap pened. Perhaps Klom knew this. "Anyway Thomas was called out on strikes and wo all thought tho third ono was rather high and wide. Dut Thomas didn't say a word. Ho turned abruptly from tho plate and started back for the bench with Klom after him. Evidently Dill was look ing for Roy to start something, but Thomas kept his faco straight ahead. "They walked this way about 30 foot Still Roy kept his peace. Fin- j HIGH SPOTS TO LAMP For the fanatic who sits in tho lookout there aro a certain numbor of high spots to lamp in' mo onny stages oi uio conmci li which will hnvo nn Imnortnnt bearing upon the two races.

THIRD LEAGUE NOT NEEDED r i VI ft V- ASIATIC ART IS DISPLAYED City of Cologne, Germany, Erects Splendid Structure for Proper Display of Treasures. Appreciation of Asiatic art, litem turo and music Is growing apaco in this country, but not so rapidly as in Europo, and in a certain respect tho city of Cologne Germany, leads tho Occidental -world. This onvlablo pre eminence is represented by a magnifi cent museum of Eastern art which was recently opened there. Tho basis of tho display Is tho won derful collection of East Asiatic art which Prof. Adolf Fischer gave to tho city of Cologno four years ago, on con dition that a sultablo building bo erect ed nnd donated by tho municipality. Tho now building is near tho Arts and Crafts museum. It is a Bnleudld Btructuro, four stories high, containing 32 exhibition rooms. Tho architect was Herr Franz Drantsky. A distinctive featuro of tho now mu seum was put in by n Japanese car pontor, in tho form of threo character istic rooms of a Japanese monastery. In these rooms a magnificent collec tion of Jonpancse arts and curios is housed. Tho hlstorio development of Chlneso and Jnpancso painting from tho dawn of hlBtory to tho presont day 1b clearly dopictcd by tho museum, duo to tho most excollont arrangement of tho hundreds of subjects. Only ono or two anclont collections in China and Japan surpass the display at Cologno. Worthy of special mention is tho col lection .of Chinese stono sculpture. German artists aro now considering tho. advisability of building and equip ping a similar museum In Berlin. CUPS FOR CLOSING WOUNDS Busy Doctor Made Independent In Large Measure of Suturea and NeedlesWorks Rapidly. A woond-cllp forceps has boon In vented which makes tho busy doctor In a largo measure independent of su ture and noodles and enables him to socnro perfect apposition of wound edges without torturing his patient or subjecting him to the danger of stitch abscosBos. With the forceps and ita mogozlno of aluminum clips goes on apposition forceps with which tho lips of tho wound aro brought togethor, says Popular Mechanics. Tho Jaws of tbo suturing instrument then rldo the apposed odges and a slnglo pros suro of tho surgoon's flngors fastens tho raotal clamp in placo. Another movement of tho thumb brings tho next clip. Into position, and it is posslblo, under favorablo conditions, to suturo a four-inch wound in UNIQUE CLOCK FROM FRANCE Unlike Other Timepieces, It Has No Springs, Its Own Weight Furnish ing Motor Force.

"I will admit tho now rulo was designed to cover Just such cases, but tho um pires aro interpreting it too Btrlctly. There can bo no harm in a coachor stepping forward and touching a run ner as ho comes Into a baso. Signals and Instructions aro often given in this way." Moran Sticks With Dooln. .Pat Moran will continuo his duties - as coach for Charley Dooln's pitchers, In spite of tho story that ho had boon given a placo on President Tenor's umpiro staff. It seems that tho story Bont out from Wilmington of Pat's ap pointment was merely a vaporing originating in loosened tongues follow ing tho banquet tendered tho head of tho National leaguo on tho occasion of his visit to tho Phillies' training camp. McGrawe Influence. Because Branch Rickey said there should bo no poker playing by his players, tho scribes sot up a loud guffaw about Sunday school methods. Then Frank Chanco and John Mc Oraw laid down similar rules and tbo same scribes immediately saw the wisdom ot it. Umpire Billy Evans, Doubts If There Is Demand at Present Time for Another Organization. In discussing tho Fedoral league, Amorlcan Leaguo Umplro Dllly Evans said tho other day: "Tho Fedoral league sooms to havo plenty of money. That is u good thing, for boforo tho season is over they nro llablo to need a lot of It Launching a major leaguo is a big proposition. It can't bo done on a shoestring. From roport It BoemB the 'Feds' havo no in tention of doing business on that basis. Seriously, I doubt it thoro is a demand at tho present tlmo for a third major leaguo. "Thoro is certainly n dearth of big leaguo material. If ball players could bo had for tho mero spending ot monoy, tho Now York Americans would havo a pennant-winning team. No club owner Is willing to mnUo a bigger gamblo for his club than Frank Farroll. s Yet for years he has labored In vain Tho Fedoral leaguo has boon a good thing for baseball players. "It lmB booBtcd tho salary of prac tlcully every player in tho gamo. It has enabled a lot of players who havo had grievances to havo them cleaned up. Tho Feds havo mado money for tho players and it now romalns to bo Boon whether tho plnyors can mnko money for tho magnates. If tho Feds aro successful, it is certain to lower the standard ot baseball in tho majors for a tlmo, slnco many of tho stars in tho now organization must ot necessity be drawn from tho majors." ally Klom drew closer nnd pored, bo Roy could hear: '"If I had a million dollars I bet I could lick you, Thomas.' "Roy paused nnd turned around. " 'If you had five million dollars you couldn't begin to pay your debts.' "Up went Klom's arm. 'Get out of tho gamo,' ho yelled. This was Just what ho wanted. So Roy wont. There's nnothor player who 1b mild by naturo on tho St Louis Feds. Hla namo is Al Brldwell and ho'o soma shortstop, too. In all his years of big leaguo ball playing ho has beon fired from tho gamo exactly three times. Klem has had tho honor of forcing every dismissal. It seems thoy wero both fIn tho samo minor leaguo years ago, and graduated ttt tho samo tlmo to tho National ono as umplro and tho oth er as BhortBtop. In this minor league tho players had startod calling Klom "catfish" whenever thoy were ospo dally peoved. Naturally tho term didn't suit Klom. It JanFod his na turo. Every tlmo tho expression was used a dismissal from tho pastime would follow. This became known in tho National leaguo when Klem arrived. Evi dently ho bolievos Drldwoll tipped it off. Only threo times in threo years haa Drldwoll raised oven tho slightest commotion when Klem Is around. Thoso threo times brought him tho tin can. V If Not Your Hearing May Be Defec tive Every Kind of Material Pro duces Some Sound. It Is no unusual thing to boo a ray of light, but have you over heard one? Recent experiments prove that a boom of light can, under certain conditions, produco porfoctly clear and distinct sounds, a writer in Harper's Weekly says. A ray of sunlight is thrown through a lens on a glass vossol that contains lampblack, colored silk or worsted. A disk with silts or openings cut In it is mado to revolvo swiftly in this beam of light so as to "cut It up," and cause alternate flashes of light and shadow. When you placo your ear to tho glass vossel you hear strange sounds as long as tho flashing beam falls upon the vessel. A still more extraordinary effect is produced when tho beam of sunlight is made to pass through a prism bo as to produco tho solar spectrumy The disk is turned rapidly and the colored light of the rainbow breaks through it and falls on tho glass vessel. Now If you place your ear to the glass you will hear Bounds from certain parts of the spectrum, but none from tbo others. For example, if tho vessel contains red worsted and tho greon light flashes upon it quite loud Bounds will bo given out Only foohlo sounds wl'l bo heard when tho red and blue ends of the spectrum fall upon the vessel. Other colors produce no sounds at all. Green silk gives out sound best in a red light A Gravity Clock. timepiece itself, which slides between two vertical pillars, says Popular Electricity. Tho mechanism being perfectly adjusted to the weight the descent proceeds with absolute regu larity and precisian. It requires seven days to comploto tho distanco frara tho highest point to tho lowest so that all tho caro it requires is to raise it onco a wook. Having no springs, which are af fected by temperature, nor compli cated mechanism to become deranged, this clock noyer varies In consequence of change of weather and noedB nc at tention beyond tho weekly necessary adjustment It is a French invention, rnonufac-1 turod In Paris.

Tom Daly, onco a leading National Ioaguo catcher, who la coaching tho Yankeos pitchers, saya tho secret of good box work la putting the ball over or near tho corners of tho plato as often as possible. Daly goos back Into bnBoball history to prove that tho greatest pitchers woro thOBO who mas tered control nnd always kopt tho bats man In the holo. Ho says that a cur ver who getB two strikes on a battor with as many pitched balls, holds the whip hand, whoroaB tho boxman who finds himself In a fix with "threo and two" usually comos to grlof when ho puts tho next ono over. "Get a grip on tho man At tho plato right off tho reel," Bays tho voteran coach, "and ho'H do tho worrying, not you." Attention of Recruits. "If young playoro who sit on tho bench would pay moro attention to what is going on in tho field thoy would soon dovolop into rogulars," aald Pitcher Jack Warhop of tho Now Yorks, tho other day. "A colt can learn moro Inside Btuff on tho bench than when actively ongagod on tho diamond. Some of those young fel lows nro lncllnod to bo thoughtless, and that Is ono of tho reasons why thoy fall." r-wL INV ENTION ! .
