MAKES ITS OWN WIG.

There Is a small crab found upon
the English coast that is SO afraid
Of his enemies that he has found out,
or has perhaps been taught, a clever
way to hide himself. The writer once
saw one Of these crabs which was
kept rs pet, and he was lucky
enough to visit him when he was In
the very act Of making his wig. The
crab first tore off a piece of green
ribbon-like seaWeed with his pincers
and put one end in his mouth.
This he sucked and nibbled and
moistened with some kind of glue
that hardens under water, and then
he pressed the sticky end upon his
back. By and by his broad back was
covered with a regular green and
waving wig so that as he craWled
about he looked like a bunch of sea-
weed In gentle motion. We must
suppose that he makes very sweet
mouthful for hungry fish, and that
he makes the wig to preserve him
from being gobbled up. From time
to time the wig requires repairing,
of course.

Seven ball clubs in the American
league respect Detroit's outfeld. Cobb.
Crawford and Jones compose 8 COM
bination that has no equal In the
league, viewed from any standpoint.
One OF the greatest requisites for
outfelders is throwing, next to hitting.
When young outaelder Is spotted
the scout, after deyouring the batting
average, will ascertain if the player
can throw. An outfelder, to be rang
ed with the good ones. must be able
to have an arm which can throw ac-
curately and with dispatch.
That Detroit's outfielders are re
spected when it comes to throwing
was emphasized most forcibly in q re-
cent game with Cleveland
With one out in the fifth, Hardness
walked. Graney, next up, hit long
single to right center. Cobb fielded
the ball, but when Hardness reached
second he hssasitsted before going to
third, then returned to the bag. Man

Sunday Baseball Uplift.

Sunday baseball by professionals

ICE CHEAP IN PERSIA.

The fact that ice is plentiful and

pleasant than 1t would otherwise be,
and the fact that it can be obtained

ground Is so porous that water per-

therefore few rivers or lakes from

SOME UTILITY BALL TossERs
Manager Fred Tsnney OF the Boston
Nationals, Tells of Some Remark
able AIl-Round Players.

Just as chain is only as strong
as it's weakest link, SO ball club Is
only as strong as its substitutes says
Fred Tenney, manager of the Boston
Nationals. Therefore, 1t will be
just as necessary to use a careful dis
elimination In the choice of substi-
tutes as in the selection of the regular
men. A few years ago, when baseball
was in its infancy, the players co&(d
nearly all play the different pAsitiS
Today there are comparatively few
who can do this.
This is the age Of specialization,
and nowhere Is 1t more aptly illus
trated than on the ball field. Men
train themselves for perfection in one
position, disregarding all others. DC.
casionally a man appears who seems
able to accommodate himself to any
change of position.
"Such a man was Shoch, Of the old
Brooklyn club Jimmy Stafford was
another player almost q replica Of
Shoch. When In New York he was
played In about every position in the
field.
Lowe, OF Boston, was one Of those
baseball phenomenons who could play
any position on the team In f1rst-class
style. Starting as a catcher, then 60
ing to the outfeld, he made a great
record in the minor leagues Coming
to Boston in 1890 as utility man, he
was soon played regularly on account
of his heavy batting. He was shifted
to second base when Quinn was sold.
Here he became one of the greatest
In the business. His last year in Bos-
ton found him guardian of third
base. Again he ranked with the fore
most. While Lowe was at home any.
where, he could not be used as a util-
1ty man, as he was far too strong a
regular. During the last few years of
playing he was used in the utility role
with marked success. His work in
that capacity helped Detroit to win
many a game.
"Strang was one Of the bright lights
Of the utility men. He reverted to the
5hoch+Stafford type, never good as a
regular. but excellent as an occasional
player.
Wagner, like Lowe, can play any
where with marked success. Indeed
he has filed nearly all positions for
his club, but his is another case of
being too valuable as regular to per-
NIT OF using him as utility man. I'm
doubtedly he would shine as such, and
when he begins to slow down will
probably be used in that capacity.
Chicago for many years kept Hof-
man as utility man, even after he had
demonstrated how strong a player he
really was.
New York now has a young fellow
who will bear lots of watching lest he
wrest the laurels from other utility
players. refer to Fletcher, who, in
the short time he has been In the
league, has made very rapid strides
toward the top.
