In the valley. IN each OF which mod

nearby valleys the Burmans still

way, digging and washing BIZ hand la

suits. In the large workings the sys-

with corresponding results. The work

in large quantities in the same neigh

Cleveland Star Making Casn sg- Was,
nsr Sit uRl and Take Netics,
AL hats on to Larry Lajoie, the
great second sacker Of the Cleveland
Americans Having no managerial
burdens to carry this season, Larrup-
ing Larry is playing the same sensa-
tional game he displayed when he was
known as the gleatest Of all ball toss
ers. Since the h9l0 campaign opened
he has been Singing the BAN harder
than any time during the last four
years and is at present leading the
sluggers in Ban Johnson's circuit with
a percentage Of 450. Besides knock
ing the bah all over the diamond,
Lajoie is gobbling up everything at
the middle station and running the
bases like a demon
II he maintains his present gait he
will place ny Cobb and Honus Wagner
10 the shade and once more regain the
honors Of being the leading ban player
OF the country. Until be took hold OF
the Maps some i've years ago Lajoie
was regarded ab the greatest player
who ever graceh the diamond. The
burdens attached to the position Of
manager Of major league club and
the failure Of the team to win the nag
after four attempts proved too much
for Larry and affected his playing to
great extent. East fall he threw up
the reins and became a private in the
ranks
Lajoie is one Of the greatest pill
handlers the game ever produced.
Unlike Wagner or Cobb, Larry IS the
finished ball player all over. Wagner,
although a wonderful player, is ain
awkward one; Cobb is eel-like, with
the get there habit, but Lajoie is
graceful ali over at the bat or IN the
field. Placing him at the head as
pilot of a team came pretty, near rob
bing the game OF one Of its greatest
stars.
AT the beginning Of 1910 he an
nounced that he would make Ty Cobb
and Honus Wagner look to their
laureIs as the leading stick wielders
Of the country. Larry was at the top
Of the heap Of the batters four times
in 1901. 1909 1904 and 1905.
The majority Of the ball tossers
along the line are of the opinion that

LARRY LAJoIE, WHO is PLAYING IN HIS
OLD TIME FORM.
Lajoie will capture the batting honors
and his team the pennant. Among
them is Rube Waddell of the st. Louis
team. In talking Of the Maps recently
he said.
"The east is going to be knocked into
a cooked hat by Cleveland. Yes. Stree
Rube takes his toddy now and then,
but in smaller proportions than Bugs
Raymond. Cleveland" avowed Rube
has the doggondest smashing cub in
the whole league. She won seven
straight as easy as rolling off a log.
You ought to see Lajoie. He plays
as he did years ago; got more ginger
than a Mexican greaser filed with
liquor. He is hitting about .450. And
Stovall is another man hitting like a
policeman in a riot The whole club
is swatting, playing inside bali and
putting in everything there Is known
/ watched them, and know. They
looked so good to me that / bet a suit
Of clothes and hat that they win win
the pennant."
Beat out Detroit?'
cleveland win beat Detroit sure as
you're foot high Go put all the
money you can scrape upon it. Talk
about pitchers--they've got them too.
This Link and Mitchell, both south
paws, are two Of the cleverest I ever
saw. Don't know where they came
from or whether that's their right
names. but they have the stuff. This
Mitchell has cross between fade
away and a curve that nobody on
earth can hit II is one grand freak Of
BAH. He has not enough speed to
break a pane Of glass, but he win
stand the batters on their heads. Yes,
indeed, Cleveland win kick the stuflng
out Of the Athletics and take the pen

that IS hard to beat, and the Athletics
appear to have these qualities.
Last year the Mack men would have
won the pennant If they had played
better baseball in the early lap OF the
race But this early weakness was
really a blessing, for it showed Connie

and this be did, with the result that
he has the present powerful lineup.
Mack has a number sof topnotchers,
whose work stands out above all, yet
the others. il less conspicuous, are
good enough to make well balanced

In Collins and Baker the Athletics
have two of the surest hitters in the
country. Collins is a most battling
customer for a pitcher to combat, for
he seems to be able to do almost any
thing with a ball On the paths he
is both feet and cunning. Baker is a
homeric hitter OF the Sam Thompson
school. He puts tremendous force be-
hind his swings, and when he meets
the ball right it travels like a projec-
tile. Barry fits in nicely at short.
On the first corner Davis, although
along In years. is faster than three
quarters Of the young first basemen
and the superior of most at hitting.
