We deny the statement that this is fight

WahOO Sam Does Not Want to Play
d First Rase


n First Base.
Now the talk is that Sam Crawford will
not play first base for Detroit after all
He made such a great record on that bag
last year-leading the league-that 1t was
taken for granted Detroit would bring him
in from right field and stick him on first
for good And then when Detroit bought
Rcssman of Cleveland this belief became
all the more emphatic. Sam is wintering
in Omaha and he says he does not want to
make the change.
Il would rather stay out in the field"
says Sam. II don't want any first base for
mine. On first a man is worried by too
many dead ones He gets a bum throw at
him and IL he fails TO corral the ball he is
roasted. Every miss is charged up to him
and the result is he comes in at the end
Of the inning feeling discouraged and sore
In such 4 state of mind he is unable to do
his best at the bat. He is ratified. Out in
the field he has no such annoyances, H,
Is free. If he misses a fly or messes up a
erounder or makes a bad throw he has
only himself TO blame. But he won't gel
half as many chances TO go wrong as on
first. He generally comes in from the field
feeling all right so far as himself is con-
cerned and Is prepared to do his best at the
bat. No, for my part, I'll stay where l
am"
