CRAWFORD IN GREAT SHAPE.
"Wahoo Sam" Playing Wonderful
Game For the Tigers.

When the last season drew to a
close 1t was the general opinion that
Sam Crawford. the Detroit American
heavy hitting outfelder, was on the
down grade and that this would prob
ably be his last season in a major
league. Today Crawford is leading
the American league batters with an
average considerably over 400, and
he is playing a better game of ball
than he ever has played before in his
long career
There is no doubt that a player OF
Crawford's disposition would be af-
fected by any misunderstanding he
might have with a teammate, and his
quarrel with Cobb undoubtedly threat
ened to end his days Of usefulness to
the Detroit club. But the difference
between this wonderful pair of hit
terS has been smoothed over, with the
result that Crawford and Cobb are
playing great ball these days and are
really responsible for the brilliant
showing the Tigers have made to date.

TO GROW CAMPAIGN FUND.
Acres Of Cotton to Furnish Oklahoma
Socialists Money For 1912.

The Socialists hope to carry Oklaho-
ma in 1912. and they purpose doing 1t
by growing cotton. William Crawford
owns a tract OF land near Muskogee.
He has turned over five acres of this
to the Socialists. They have plowed
and planted it to cotton. This work Is
contributed free Of all cost by the local
Socialists. They will cultivate the
crop. pick and sell 1t. and the entire
gross receipts will be contributed to
the state campaign fund for the next
election, which Will be in 1912.
This plan. which is being followed
all over the state, Is likely to create n
tremendous campaign fund. Five acres
of cotton ought to bring $3.50. The
shortage OF funds always has been the
great handicap Of the Socialist party.
But the cotton patch product Is not
all. Following the request of leaders,
individual Socialists where there are no
local organizations are setting aside the
gross receipts Of one acre of land or
one steer, one hog or some other live
stock which will be sold and the money
given to the campaign.

wonderfully and the gilded wagons
and elephants made a fair looking

carries the usual number of ele

horses. 1t was noticeable that the
animals were looking very much
poorer than the usual circus animals
a long stay in the south with poor
feed is the cause of the showing. The
absence of the calliope was noticed.
The Olney grounds were again the
scene of city of canvas. Four large
tents for the horses, big mess tent
three small side shows, few small
concessions, the large side show and
the big circus tent compose the show
outfit. Immediately after the parade
a large throng gathered on the circus
grounds and no time was lost by the
showmen in opening the main side
show.
Chief of Police Marquardt had out
several extra policemen and the city
was well guarded from any annoy

gave a great banquet for the men at
his home in Chatou and hailed them
as colleagues whom he was proud to
welcome into that distinguished order
His speeches on the floor got him into
several duels.
Although his methods in debate were
those of hard hitter he always pre-
pared his subject carefully and was
recognized as one Of the most scholar
ly and intelligent of his party. He
stood among the FIRST In the chamber
