WOULD GET MORE BASE HITS
IF HIS EYES WERE LESS KEEN
Wahoo Sam Crawford Is Pointed OFT
as the Man Who Should Go
After the Bad Ones.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LINCOLN, Neb., April 4.-In the opinion
Of some OF the Tigers. there is such a
thing as having too good an eye that 1t
interferes with batting success. Sam
Crawford is pointed out as a man who
would get more base hits II he were to
go after bad balls occasionally instead OF
waiting for one to be put over the plate.
This should not be interpreted to mean
that Sam is in any way feeble as a
sticker. On the contrary. he has the gen.
eral reputation OF hitting the ball as hard
as any one living and being as dangerous
in q pinch. a reputation sustained by his
record. But he has lot Of tough luck
in driving the ball directly at somebody.
II believe that Sam would get more
base hits IL he went after bad balls now
and then" said Edgar Willett. in talking
of the Wahoo mans ability to Judge
whether q ball is over tho plate or not.
Sam never goes after a wide one. so
other pitchers tell me. Davy Jones has
the reputation Of having a great eye. but
he has nothing on Sam in this particular
1.-The delders. knowing that Sam won't
90 after them unless they're over. pick
the right spots to play for his drives. and
they collar q lot Of them, no matter how
hard they may be mt. II the Wanoo
man hit q few wide or close ones, he
would drive the bail to more scattered
sections Of the lot. and it wouldn't be
possible to figure him out so closely as it
Is now.
Now, take Lajode. who IL q great hit
ter aud Q slugger, too. like Sam. Larry
hits at bad balls all the time. and there
is no telling where he will drive them.
There isn't any groove into which he Is
likely TO hammer the pill. except that he
hits balls on the inside Of the plate into
left field. II he waited until he got one
exactly over he probably would begin to
hit into certain spots all the time. and
the fielders would figure out system to
rob him.
Its q hard thing to tell exactly who
has the best eye in the league. Topsy
Haftsel is the hardest man for me to
pitch TO, because I have q lot OF trouble
getting the ball over the plata All those
little fellows who crouch at tAg plate are

STANFORD MANS GREAT FEAT.

NEW YORK, April 4.-Joseph r.

fled James f. Sullivan, secretary-treasurer

ford University, won first place in the

Stanford and Los Angeles, with the
wonderful leap of feet inches. j.
Ward Of Los Angeles was second, with
6 feet inches.
March Is last year HORNE won the
high jump at the Olympic-Stanford
games, with a leap of feet inches.
but since then and before last Satur-
day had a best mark OF 6 feet. In
practice he has done remarkable work.
His form is wonderful. as he gets a
similar layout over the bar to that Of
Mike Sweeney. holder Of the world S
record Of 6 feet SIS inches, made at
the international games in 1895.
Horine's 6 feet inches marks the
third man to clear such a height in
this country. the former times being
when w. Byrd Page OF the University
Of Pennsylvania and the Manhattan
Athletic Club did q similar height. and
Sweeney's record leap. although the
latter did feet inches several
times before that.

Big Delegation From Jackson
vile Arrives at Virginia Track
for Opening of the Races.

NORFOLK, Va, April 4.-The races on
the opening day of the spring meeting OF
the Jamestown Jockey Club tomorrow
will be run over a deep and heavy track
Heavy rains set in yesterday and contin-
ued all day, and there is no chance un-
der the most favorable conditions for
the track to dry out for the next couple
of days. This of course means that mud
horses will have a decided advantage,
and it might be we'll for players to base
their calculations with a heavy track In
view.
Hundreds of racegoers arrived at Nor
folk yesterday and today. no less than
five special trains bringing in the delega-
ton from Jacksonville. Fla About 1900
people came up from the Florida city to
participate and more are due to arrive
when the flfteen-car horse special will
reach here this afternoon. Three car
loads of horses got in yesterday. The
consignment comprised the horses owned
by p. S. p. Randolph, James Rowe, W.
A. Burttschell, Sam Louis, James Nc.

A. Simons. In the lot were Lahore, AS
pirin, Oakhurst, G. NJ. Miller, Monty Fox,
Bosom. Plate Glass and Racquet. JOCK
eys Eddie Dugan, Guy Burns and Byrne
also got in.
The outlook for a successful meeting
is particularly bright. There Is no fear
whatever of interference by the state
authorities. and the local business peo-
pie are very much in favor Of the meet
ing. There will be no telegraph wires
on the ground. This was given out to-
day by the Western Union Telegraph
people, which means that no reports OF
the races will be sent to the afternoon
papers.

IN BAD SHAPE.
Abe Attell Won't Be Able to Fight
for Six Months.

NEW YORK, April 4.-Abe Attell. the
6eatherweight champion, who suffered
another injury to his left shoulder in his
bout with frankie Burns here last Fri
day night, has been ordered by his physi-
clan not to fight again for At least six
months, and probably for a year. There
is a possibility that the arm Is SO badly
injured that Attel will never be able to
return to the prize ring.
The enforced retirement this year
means q loss Of from $4,000 to $50 900 to
the fighter. who had mapped out a busy
campaign. One OF his first matches was
to have been with Knockout Brown
whom Manager Danny Morgan promised
to send against the little champion as
soon as Browns ear was again in shape
Attell rested more than two months after
the arm was first injured in his bout with
Gilbane at Cleveland. but the rest did not
prove long enough.
