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.

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

Thomas kept his faco straight ahead.

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

tho. advisability of building and equip

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

tho now organization must ot necessity
be drawn from tho majors."

'"If I had a million dollars I bet

"Roy paused nnd turned
around.
" 'If you had five million dollars you

what ho wanted. So Roy wont.

It seems thoy wero both fIn tho

graduated ttt tho samo tlmo to tho

tho players had startod calling Klom

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

Tom Daly, onco a leading National
Ioaguo catcher, who la coaching tho
Yankeos pitchers, saya tho secret of

or near tho corners of tho plato as
often as possible. Daly goos back Into

ver who getB two strikes on a battor
with as many pitched balls, holds the
whip hand, whoroaB tho boxman who

puts tho next ono over. "Get a grip
