HANS WAGNER SAID
TO Be TIRED OF GAME
Pirates Star Player Shows
Indifference in His Work,
According to Critics.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PITTSBURG, Pa, July 13.-An evening
paper here last night printed a story 10
the effect that Hans Wagner, once wor-
shiped by all fandom as its foremost
idol, is dissatisfied with his berth as
member of the Pirates and has created
discussions in the ranks of the team.
1t charges the miserable showing of the
champions to this cause. The Pittsburg
papers version Of wagner's Indifference
is as follows:
Although Wagner draws a salary Of
$4,000 a year, and as player under
contract is supposed to play as directed
by the manager of the team. it is no
secret that time and again Honus has
disobeyed instructions and has been per-
forming in a don't-care and listless
fashion.
Last Saturday in the game with the
Phillies Wagner went into Fred Clarke S
territory and caught a ball which Clarke
had called out he would take. painful
collision with disastrous results was
averted only by Clarke's agility in turn
ing aside in the nick of time. Wagner
utter disregard Of discipline has disguised
George Gibson and other leading men,
bers of the team and affected their work.
The pitchers lose heart when easy taps
which any bush league shortstop ought
to handle go through Wagner's territory
and are recorded as hits.
"Honus has expressed himself as being
tired of the national game. Being indie
pendently wealth, he does not relish
taking orders, and is quoted as saying,
L would like to play base ball just when
feel like 1t. instead OF being compelled
to report at q certain time every day
and be required to do things as some one
else dictates. A ball player Is nothing
more than a well fed slave, who may be
sold to club a long way from home
any day. When a fellow gets past the
stage of enthusiasm base ball becomes
labor for him, and hard labor. too.
The Pirates seem destined to drop stu
lower in the race unless Manager Clarke
takes drastic measures to prevent Fresi-
dent Barney Dreyfuss from interfering
with the teams affairs and makes Wag-
ner play the best ball of which he Is
capable or assigns the big German to
a place on the bench

the pet and fancy of the Detroit outfit, is
a great player for the limelight, but when
he falls into the shadows Ty harbors a
crouch which would belittle the proverbial
ones said to be carted around by grizzlies.
Ty did not set the base ball world affre by
his hitting and fielding In the series just
concluded at Shibe Park and he showed
an unfettered disposition to sulk and
crouch in Mondays licking the Macktes
laid to the Tigers shaggy hide. Then in
the ninth round of that splendid wind-up
Cobb not only played boss with Collins
screaming triple, but as well made a
schoolboy's relay TO Bush. which allowed
Collins to score the necessary run to tie
matters up. That the Athletics then won
out on three successive drives is now an
cient base ball history for George More
land TO hand out to US again In his 1912
dope book.
Following that play and the defeat
Hughey Jennings was not very cheerful
to task for his dilatory tactics. Ty did
not take very kindly to the calldown and
yesterday did not show up on the field un-
Ill the third inning was under way. Jen-
nings had Simmons in center filling out
the Georgia Peach'S job, but as soon as
Cobb appeared rugged out for action Sim
mons got the hook and Ty took up the
cudgel of defense for Detroit. But Ty
still harbors his crouch. for he and Jen-
nings brushed by without murmur or word
to each other.

have to know in order to make the
scheme effective.
There was not the slightest doubt that
this trick was practiced on the New
York grounds last season Players have
since admitted 1t, and the investigation,
such as it was. made by the American
League proved 1t. But no punishment was
melted out. but should there be another
expose even the leagues politics could
not save the New York club and action
could not be deferred.
Base ball must be kept free of all trick

BY ]. ED GRILLO.

The coming of Pitcher Meyer of
Youngstown to the Nationals fold is but
the beginning of a vigorous effort that
Manager McAleer is making to have
many of the young players that have
and will be secured join the team at
once. There is but one way to get a
correct line on the value of these players
and that is to use them in championship
games.
Meyer, for instance. in his performance
with Youngstown looks to be about one
of the best minor league twirlers in the
country. but before it will be definitely
known whether he is ripe for major
league ball he will have 10 be given a
trial.
The same is true of all young players
coming up and McA!eer prefers to. get a
line on his new men this fall than wait
until spring when it will be too late to
make any changes. should these young
sters fail to come up to expectations.
But the minor league clubs are not
willing to turn their star players over
before the season ends. They are will
ing enough to sell at fancy figures, but
when it comes to letting their players
as possible. But McAleer is making the
clubs from which he has purchased play
ers, special inducements to let him have
them as soon as possible
Ainslnith, the catcher secured from
Lawrence, and Infielder Cunningham,
from New Bedford. will report here as
soon a. it is possible to have them do SO.
McAleer wants to see these youngsters in
action in fast company this fall so that
he will have pretty fair line on his team
when it goes into training next spring.
So far as the catching department is
concerned it is already assured that the
Nationals will be better fortified behind
the bat next spring than they have ever
been before. Charley Street has never had
good assistants to help him out, and this
has thrown the bulk OF the work on his
shoulders. Not since he came here has he
had any one who could come anywhere
near filling his shoes. But next spring
Street will have Ainsmith and Henry to
help him out-two willing youngsters OF
ability. This thing of carrying a lot OF
has-beens on the catching staff does not
help any team, and the Nationals have
been fortunate indeed not to have Street
out of the game with any serious injury.

MAY SELL ARELLANES.
Boston Club Anxious to Dispose of
Suspended Pitcher.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, July 13.-President Taylor 8
suspension of Pitcher Arellanes is thought
to presage the sale of that player. The
suspension occurred after yesterday S
game. when Mr.. Taylor went down to
the players quarters and told Arellanes
that he was under suspension. as he was
tired OF waiting SO long for a man to
get into condition.
Arellanes pitched more games than any
other man on the team last year and
played fine ball. never complaining when
he was in two games in a couple of days.
The overwork told on him and to date
he has not got into the condition he has
shown in past years. He acted rather
liStless yesterday.
Arellanes, however attributed his lack
OF success this year to the fact. as he
says, that the team does not bat well be-
hind him. He says he is in condition.

HIS YOUNGSTERS THIS FALL
Nationals Manager Anxious to Get Line on
New Materially Johnson Establishes
Seasons Strike-Out Record.

and got tie with Walter johnson, I'M
doubtedly made good impression, and
yet the chances are that the next time he
pitches something in the way of a pound
Ing Will happen him. Crouch lacks the
speed that a. pitcher of his size should
have. His motion is deceptive but would
in course of time be solved. incidentally
he does not know how TO field his posi-
uon, though that may come with time.
He certainly has the size, and if he can
develop something on his ball may be a
successful pitcher, though his showing
against the Nationals does not assure
this, Notwithstanding the fact that he let
them down with six hits.
BY striking out thirteen of the Browns
yesterday Walter johnson established the
seasons strike-out record. In fact, john
son struck out fourteen during the after
noon. but when the game was called the
one man he struck out in the ninth did
not go into the record, because the game
reverted to the eighth inning.
One naturally would expect pitcher to
win his game hands down after accom-
plishing such a feat, but the best John
son could do was to get 4-to-4 tie, and
he was decidedly lucky to get that. 1t
was his own misplay that cost him the
victory, for had he thrown accurately to
third in the third inning when he had an
easy chance to force Stone on Hartzell's
tap there would have been no runs scored
in this inning. Incidentally it was wild
pitch which put Stone on second after
he had reached first On a bunt pulled past
the pitchers box.
There is no telling how many strike
outs Johnson would score in his games
If he ever acquires control of his slow
ball. With his terrific speed a change of
pace would simply mean that it would
be impossible to hit Johnson. Just once
yesterday did he use his flOater, and
Hartzell, who was at the bat, swung at
the ball for the third strike and came
near tearing himself to pieces. for the
ball was not within five feet of the plate
when he took his swing.
Catching Johnson's delivery is not an
easy jCo and Charley Street can offer a
badly bruised and swollen left hand to
prove this assertion. JoIinson's speed
is SO great that even though Street wears
heavy padded mitt his hand has be-
come bruised even through this He
now finds it necessary to use a bigger
mitt when Johnson is pitching in order
to hold his delivery.

HORTICULTURE
HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

More trees are harmed than helped
by pruning. This Is broad state
ment, but we believe it is true.
In planting mixed sweet peas, you
can tell whether the flower will be
light or dark by the color of the seed.
To set apple trees of the standard
sorts closer than 80 feet Is giving them
less soil and air room than they should
have.
The quickest fruit to give returns
Is strawberries, and it comes early in
the season. Now is good time to set
out the plants.
No man should attempt to prune a
tree until he has learned what Is to
be accomplished by pruning, and how
to do it properly.
In the south, crimson clover sown
in the fall and turned under in the
spring has proven to be an excellent
orchard treatment.
Every bright day spray forcibly any
plants that may be ever so slightly
attacked by red spider and any doubt
full places near the heating pipes in
the rose house.
The spikes of Odontoglossum citros-
mum will soon be showing in the tips
of the new growth. When this occurs
give the plants thorough soaking of
water, but not before.
1t is useless to put most seeds into
the ground until it is warmed up and
dry enough to work up light. Corn
planting time is about the average
time for most flower seeds.
Where there are herbaceous plants
in protectors look over them on mild
days and remove anything of decay
ing nature. From now on they must
have air, except during the very cold
est weather.
The sweet pea is a notable excep-
ton. The earlier it can be tucked into
the ground the better. Do not wait
for fine weather, but in the first pleas
ant days work up the soil as well as
possible and plant the seeds.

POPULAR FLOWER OF WINTER
Chrysanthemum, Because of Immense
Size, GracefuIness and Long
Stem, Makes II King.
CBy H. H. sIIEPARDO

(By II. III. SHEPARD)
The chrysanthemum stands as the
most popular flower of early winter,
and with some 1t is the most popular
and best loved flower of the season.
It's immense size, gracefulness of
petal arrangement, and exceedingly
long stem make 1t beyond question one
of the most regal Of all cut flowers.
1t Is flower with distinct character,
and stands in class by itself with no
competitors. Coming at a season
when all garden flowers have been
killed by frost, and just before roses,
carnations and violets have started to
do their best under glass, 1t bounti-
fully and superbly fills a gap in the
cut flower season that no other flower
could possibly do.
November can be said to be the
month for chrysanthemums. Few
blossom before and few after this
month.
They have only one season for
blooming, and when this season Is
over the parent plants are worthless
