Do not overlook Samuel Crawford
In passing around the baseball bo-
quets. Sam has been In baseball a
long time, yet he still is one of the
most feared batsmen In the league.
Early this season Crawford hit In
tough luck. He met the ball just as
fairly as he ever did. but most of his
drives went straight TO some waiting
outfielder. Crawford gave the outfield-
ers about as much hard labor as any
man In the league, but his efforts
counted very little on paper.
Yesterday he was responsible for
three OF the Tigers runs. His sacri-
fice fiy in the seventh scored Davy
Jones and his long drive In the ninth
brought the two rams required for vic
tory.
Crawford is no longer young man
from baseball standpoint, but he
certainly can maui the ball. He 2elds
as steadily as a clock and has a lot
OF speed In spite OF two bad ankles.
A lot Of good ball players have come
and gone during the time he has plug
ged steadily along. A clever piece OF
fielding on his part w
ming cut off a prospective home run

should defeat the tax amendment the

IS important that they should consider
the matter seriously from the standpoint

Crop and Weather Notes.


The weather of the present week has
been somewhat of an improvement over
that of the preceding seven-day period,
although the degree of betterment was so
small as almost to escape notice. A par
ticularly heavy rain fell last Sunday after
noon and was accompanied by high
wind and brilliant electrical storm, but
on Monday and Tuesday the usual daily
precipitations were modified to the pro-
portions of ordinary summer showers,

Wednesday only a few drops Compare

Thursday the sun shone uninterruptedly
and there was nothing doing in the If
rigating line.
There seems to be good ground for the
hope that the wet spell is gradually "pe-
tering out, and although the rains may
continue for some days longer it is not
likely that they will be even remotely as
voluminous or frequent as those with
which we have been inflicted for the past
several weeks.
Needless to say, the planeers are taking
advantage of every clear, or near-clear
day to push with all possible vigor the
work of laying-by the cane crop, and the
field forces have been "double-timing
