Sam Crawford Gets ,
Release as a Reward
For His Fine Service
Wahoo Samuel Crawford will be a
free agent after this season. The
great outfielder, who helped to win
pennants for the Tigeri, will be given
his unconditional release without a
string attached to him. Everv club in
the major league has waived on him,
not because the managers consider'
that he is through, but limply i a
compliment to the ex-barber, who has
been one of the most popular players
in the game.
Samuel will retire with plenty of
this world's goods. Not because he
needed it, but sirryjly to give Detroit
tana a cnance to express ineir opin
ion of him, the Detroit club last sum
mer donated all its .recejjjts of one
game to Wahoo. Sam having a dis
position which abhors idleness, the
chances are that he will either buy a
minor league club or else manage one.
If he wants to he can return to Wa
hoo, Neb., and be elected mayor or
anything-else at the disposal of the
home folks. .
Crawford has been with Detroit for
fifteen years and in the major leagues
nineteen. He is one tl sixteen men
who batted over .300 in eleven years
and his-grand average of .310 for
eighteen yeari. Of the sixteen Ty
Cobb is the only one now in the game.

LIFTS MORTGAGE
WITH SHOOT PURSE
Winner , of Grand American
Handicap Makes Good Use of
Coin He Earned by
yictory. .
J :
When the national amateur cham
pionship eent was called in' the
Grand American Trapshooting tour
nament held recently at the South
Shore Couutry club in Chicago, the
word came down the line in the usual
mysterious manner to "keep your
eyes on Larson of Wisconsin.'
Larson had broken ninety-nine
clays- to win the championship of his
home state, being "some shooter."
Larson had got off at the wrong
station on the way to thevshooting
grounds anrWiis squad shot without
his in the Chicago Overture event.
There was only one event left in
which Larson might distinguish him
self. ' That was the Grand American
handicap. It was this event in which
Larson was picked to do his best
shooting. He went out on the first
day wtih 79 in 80, and just as soon
as his score was posted many others
began to pay attention to him. The
fact that he was shooting from twen
ty yards indicated that he was wor
thy. In his final twenty targets Lar
son missed one target, and Mark
Arie of Thomasboro, 111., who also
had 79 in 80, dropped one, so that
there was a tie for the Grand Amer
ican handicap at 98. Arie was shoot
ing from twenty-two yards the back
mark."
It isn't every shooter, after missing
his first target and shooting against
one of the best trapshooters. in the
world, would have had the courage
to continue as Larson did. Larson is
of the stuff froth which real cham
pions are made. He missed the sec
ond target in the second string, giv
ing Arie the advantage. Arie missed
his thirteenth target and Larson fol
lowed suit. Arie missed three more,
nut Larson was through; missing.
That is the reason that I Waupaca,
Wis., is talked about so much these
dais.
Larson is the owner of the general
grocery and market in Waupaea. He
opined he could make use of the
$743.40 he won in puling a little paint
on tne om nomesteaa, buying a tew
pairs of shoes and lifting the mort
gage on the farm. Larson is 24 years
old, the youngest trapshot to win the
Orand American handicap. He is- a
sturdv vouth-stronc as the nrn-
Verbial bull and chilly as the day
was when the shooting took place,
Larson fired at the clays in a shirt
with the sleeves cut off at the elbows.
Others with much more clothing on
were chilled through, but not Larson.
He had more important things on his
mind than thinking about the
weather.

LATONIAcRACES
ATTRACT STARS
Cream of Horse World Entered
in October Meeting; Eighty
Six Nags to Weed
' Out.
FAYORITES WIN IN
GRAND CIRCUIT
v.
Butt Hale Outclasses All Other
Two-Four Pacers; Kelley De
Forrest Walks Away
With the Trot.
The announcement of the entries to
the stake events to (be decided at the
coming Latonia meeting, which opens
October 13, shows that the cream of
the horse world is going to compete
at this meeting. A few of the big
eastern stables failed to enter, includ
ing auch ones as August Belmont and
Whitney,- blit neither of them has
much left, as sickness and accidents
have robbed them of tliejrstar per
formers. Belmont's Hourless. the
only rival' of Omar Khayyam has
been on the ailing list for some time.
His great 2-year-old Lucillite was
kicked recently and will be out of
racing for som? time.
About the only 2-year-old in the
country which is not entered in the
Queen City, championship stakes is
Sun Briar, winner of the Hopeful
But with eighty-six to choose from
that stake is going to be some pump
kins. It will be the hst big event of
the year for the baby racers, and as j
they will be asked, to go a mue it
means the, winner will receive as
much consideration for the year's
championship honors as will the win
ner of the Futurity or the Hopeful.
Quite certain it is that the winner
of this event will be the ruling fa
vorite for the Kentucky Derby to hf,
run the following May.
The Latonia cup racfj is a corker,
too. When one can get forty of the
best 3-year-olds and ovqr in the coun
try to enter for a two-mrle ana a
quarter race it is some task. And
every one of the entrants possesses
class. That list is headed by the
great champion, Omar Khayyam, al
though he will have stout opposition
from Clematis II, Roamer, Tickett,
Bella Desmond, and a score of otht
good eastern and western horses. '

Columbus, O., Sept. 22. Four class
events were raced yesterday in
the fifth day's meeting of the grand
circuit; in every event a favorite was
victor. No stakes were on' the pro
gram and the class events proved to
furnish little competition, even in the
split heat events, the 2:12 pace and
the 2:12 trot. , Horses that dropped a
heat through a mistake won the other
three rather impressively.
The 2:04 pacers were so outclassed
by Butt Hale that he had to do none
of his miles in better than 2:05 to
win. Ima Jay also had an easy team,
winning the 2:12 trot in slow time,
save for the second heat.
Kelly DeForrest walked away with
the three-year-old trot and Uhlan
Simmons had the speed of the party
in the 2:12 pace.

Whfn the New York Yankees were
bought three years, ago by Colonel
Ruppcrt and Captain Huston it gener
ally was considered thatbefore many
seasoni had passed the American
league would have a pennant winner
in base ball's biggest city. The new
owners were capable business men
with plenty of money to spend andi
uie inclination to spena u.
The result goes to prove that no
amount of money can pitch, bat or
play the outfield. A fortune has been
spent in building up a club and yet its
highest hope appears to be to finish
in the first division. Not much was
expected of the team the first year,
since it had to be completely rebuilt.
Last season it started off bravely and
even was leading the league in July,
only to finish in fourth place. .This
year high hopes were entertained for
the Yankees, but they have come to
nothing, N
Their failure cannot justly be
charged to the owners, the manager
or the scouts. Never has rrtofe effort
been expended upon a club and never
has a club had such a continued series
of misfortunes. In the three, years
of the new regime there is hardly a
man who has not At one time or an
other been out of the game, lnjrles
or iltsess have followed the Yankees
in unbroken succession. Almost never
have they been able to put their full
strength in the field.
Every regular lias been out of the
game somewhere from five days to
five months. Bill Donovan was laid
jip with iht grippe. Home Run
Baker came to tne team witn a paa
hand and later broke his ribs, and
hurt his legs. Maisel and Gilhooley
have broken collar bones and Gilhoo
ley broke his leg. High and Bau
mann both had blood poison. In
addition to this, Baumann was spiked
and hit in th eye with a thfown
ball. ' '
.Caldwell had a bad finger on his
pitching hand and an injured knee.
Nunamaker had tonsilitis and was
s"piked. Peckinpaugh was out with
a twisted back. Shocker and Mo
ridge pulled ligaments in their arms.
Walter Pipp sprained his ankle.
Walters was spiked, and Hendryx had
a bad leg. Alexander had a split fin
ger. Lee Magee had various injuries,
and Joe Gedeon was forced to un
Hfrcrn an ooeration. Marsans had
scarcely settled himself in his new,l ;i
berth1 when he broke his ankle. UnrtH. .
the Yankees manage to secure some
nonbreakable players they never will
be pennaiit'Contenders.
World's Bantam Champ Quits
Ring Until After the War
New Orleans, La., Sept. 22. Pete
Herman, world's bantamweight cham
pion, today announced he had rejected
the $6,000 offer of loca) promoters for
a twenty-round bout here with
Frankie Burns of Jersey City. He de
clared he had quit the ring until after
the war. Herman was drafted into the
national army and will soon report at
the training camp.
"They will' play with their cards on
the table at the next Western league
meeting or I'll kick over the table."
That was the manner in which Ed
Hanloii, owner of the St. Joseph base
ball team, expressed himself as to the
comingmeeting of the league mag
nates, which is to be held in St) Jo
seph 'soon, and as he was standing
near Pa Rourke, boss of the Omaha
team, when he made the remark, and
the Omaha owner chimed in with a
similar remark, it is evident'that there
is to be something stirring in the hid
den receascs of that meeting.
Politics are to be eliminated from
the Western league circles, If it is
possible to do so and in their stead are
to be substituted business principles.
A new faction nas arisen within the
league and it is believed that this fac
tion controls things pretty well; cer
tain it is that they control the finances
of the league in good style,
s This branch is composed of Ed
Hanlon, W. A. Rourke, Tom Fair
weather, owner of the Des Moines
team, and John Savage of the Joplin
team. On the other side are Jack
Holland of Hutchinson, Frank Isbell
of Wichita and possibly Hugh Jones
of Denver. The alignment of Ducky
Holmes is expected to be with the
Hanlon-Rourke crowd for Lincoln
wants in on the new league, which is
being planned and will stick with the
big four.
After, One Magnate.
" But here is the most interesting
thing which is to develop. One of
the magnates owes the league havily
! and when the league meeting is called
and he attempts Jo cast his vote these
other men the quartet of monied in
terests, plan to hold to the constitu
tion of the league and refuse to allow
him a voice in the matters of the
league's ' affairs. That is certain to
cause a row at the outset of the meet
ing and a lively session is certain from
that time on for this magnate is also
a scrapper and will die hard.
Hanlon and Rourke have expressed
themselves as disgusted with the
league as it stands. "The league is a
joke," said Rourke in St. Joseph the
other day, "Think of such towns as
Hutchinson being in a league with
such cities as Omaha and St. Joseph.
Its all wrong and such a circuit can
not last." . .
Talk of New Loop. I
The talk of- forming a new circuit
with Minneapolis, St. Paul, Milwau
kee and Kansas City as four of the
towns an3 St. Joseph, Omaha, Lin
coln and Des Moines as the remain
der is serious. It all sounds, "fishy"
but the magnate-of all these cities
have ban conferring with reference
to the proposition and there is a feel
ing that because of the war it might
not be a bad plan o figure, out a
circuit of these proportions. ; It , is
figured that the increase of interest in
the Western league teams would more
than make up for any lack, of interest
at the outset in the four association
towns.
At any rate there is to be "some
thing doing" at this meeting, and It is
to be -interesting throughout every
moment fit its stormy session. And
that it will be stormy is assured for
no words are to be minced. It is to
be no milk nor water affair and none
of the magnates will break their legs
in any mad rush to buy peace drinks
or smokes for the others. Its a fight
to the finish this time and when the
smoke has cleared there will undoubt
edly be a new Western league on the
map. , ,
