(BY Ira HaIl.l

That some things depend upon the point of view is shown by the effort of newspapers published in Springfield to make it appear that Tom Crook wantonly assailed a member of that ball team yesterday without justifica- tion. We are surprised at the Union" of that city printing such an unfair account of the unfortunate and re- grettable happening at Hampden park yesterday. The Union is one of the foremost newspapers of the East and its sporting department is unexcelled in this country. It's writ CTS are men of ability yet in treat ing the affair of yesterday it proves that the personal equation" after all. is the thing which counts. We will not deny that Tom Crook is hot headed and at times allows his tenn per to get the better of his Judgment; we are even willing to, concede that it might. have been better for him to have paid no attention to the dirty contemptible insult which was direct ed at his wife by Player Page of the that a high strung nervous fellow like Crook could reasonably justify his conduct even in the face of possible subsequent admonishment that might interfere with his teams chance for first honors in the league.
 Of course Crook was a coward in doing what he did. Any man who sim gle handed will walk placidly over to a bench that contains the whole out fit of the opposition some fifteen of sixteen men and tackle the puppy who dared insult his wife is coward. Of course Crook would have been hero had he waited until he got Page alone This he might easily have done when that player left the bench for the field. But that is not Crook. He did not stop to think what might be the consequences to himself in going into the lions den and boarding the pup in his lair. Crook never stopped to consider that he was facing besides the entire Springfield outfit a crowd of 4.00O hostile persons who would have gloried in his killing.
 Yes, it was cowardly for Tom Crook to walk into that whole Springfield bunch and chastise the man that made the disparaging reference to his wife. But there was nothing coward ly when Crook got his man for the whole Springfield outfit with a few

SAM lANGF0RD BEATS JIM SMITH IN FIFTH
 ROUND OF BIG BOUT

With a hard right uppercut to the jaw, that had the lifting power of a bomb, Sam Langford, known to the pugilistic world as the "Tar Baby" knocked out Jim Smith of Westches- ter in the fifth round of their sched- uled ten-round bout at the Fairmont A. C., New York, last night. It was a terrific punch and Smith, practi- cally a physical wreck made so by Langford's great wallops to the face and body, crumpled up in a heap.
 The negro came out for the fifth with a look eof grim determination. He had been careful before. but now he was care personif1ed. Smith mis- took the deliberation for fear and raced at Sam like a mad Dervish. Jim planted a right to the body and another under the heart and shot his left back to the mouth. But these of the Boston lad who was all the time measuring his man.
 Smith fell into a clinch and as he broke 4Langford stepped back, meas ured him and shot terrific right uppercut to the jaw The blow fairly shot Smith off his feet and he fell to the canvas all in a lump. The fellow was. game, however, and at the count of "six" had staggered onto his un- steady underpinning.
 But the eyes that looked vacantly in every direction was glazed and Referee Joh interceded before Lang ford had a chance to send over an other right, for which he was all set.

Alexander Signs
 For S7,500 A Year
Phi1lies' Star Twirler Gets Three Year Contract at Highest Salary for Youngster.

Philadelphia, Aug. 10-Horace Fogel, president of the Philadelphia National league baseball club, appar- ently appreciates a good worker, for yesterday he signed up Grover Cleve- land Alexander, the sensational pitch CT of the year, to a three-year con tract. Fogel says that Alexander is the highest priced pitcher in either of the big leagues.
 While Fogel refuses to mention the figure, he acknowledges that the con- tract calls for something more than $7,500 a season, and this for a young ster who has not yet completed a season in major league baseball. The three-Year contract was handed to three weeks ago, but he refused to sign it until he had dis cuSSed the matter with Dooin.

 Who threw that last brick first?
 Chief Snyder did good job in the opener. He ought to have won his game after allowing but three hits.
 The Hartford Courant says Battling Teller has swelled up like poisoned pup since his team took the lead. It's the first time Teller ever had a winning combination so the old sport can't be blamed for feeling trif1e chesty.
 Hi Ladd didn't stay out of the 300 class long. The old boy grabbed two hits in each game.
 The players ought to stop trying to kid each other during games. This should apply particularly in the case of the Bridgeport and Springfield teams when there is so much i'll feel ing between the players. The kid ding always becomes more abusive as it continues, and generally winds up in a fight, as it did. yesterday. The Mechanics can't afford to lose the ser vices of Tom Crook
 Nobody dared approach Manager McCann last night. The boss of the Mechanics is the hardest loser in the league. He wants to be alone with his grouch when his team gets trim ming

WHITE HOPE MORRIS
 AND JIM FLYNN MAY
 NOT FIGHT LABOR DAY

Chicago, Aug. 10-Carl Morris of Ok lahoma looked upon by some as the most promising white hope in the heavyweight class, may not meet Jim Flynn of Denver. Morris has been matched with Flynn for several months, and the first postponement of the battle was caused by the Cover nor of Oklahoma. who put his foot down on a bout between the two scheduled for Sapulpa on July f. The two men recently were matched for New York for Labor Day, but, ac- cording to Flynn, there is nothing cer- tain about that.
 Flynn has been in Chicago for the last month waiting to hear from Nor ris as to their being matched. Many telegrams have been exchanged be- tween the pair, but nothing def1nNa has been agreed upon.

PRAISE FROM CARLYLE.

Alfred is the son of a Lincolnshire gentleman farmer. I think; indeed you see in his verses that he is a native of ''mOated granges' and green. fat pas lures. not of mountains and their tor rents and storms He had his breed ing at Cambridge as if for the law or Church: being master of a small an nuity on his fathers decease. he pre- ferred clubbing with his mother and some sisters to live unpromOted and write poems. In this way he lives still. now here, now there; the family always within reach of London. never in it: he himself making rare and brief visits. lodging in some old comrades rooms. l think he must be under 40, not much under it. One of the finest looking men in the world. A great shock of rough, dusty hair; bright laughing hazel eyes; massive aquiline face. most massive, yet most delicate; of sallow brown complexion, almost In dian looking; clothes cynically loose. free and easy; smokes infinite tobacco. His voice is musical metallic, fit for loud laughter and piercing vail, and all that may lie between; speech and speculation free and plenteous. I do not meet, in these late decades, such com- pany over a pipe.
