WORKS DESCRIBES
SAM CRAWFO AS
CAPITAL PLAYER
Is Regular in Habits and
Should Be Great
Performer.

Sam Crawford rs not only a model
baseball player, but he is a model
man." declares Ralph Works. the De-
troit pitcher. Sam isn't a shirk.
neither is he a helter skelter. He isn't
lazy, neither is he too ambitious. lie
isn't a stay-at-home, neither is he a
Iounder. Sam Is one of those fellows
who go along at an even tenor, and,
barring accidents, he should be just as
good baseball player five or ten years
from now as he is at the present time.
Crawford never does anything to eN-
cess. He never talks from the house
tops. yet he is always in the field with
suggestion always worth more than
ordinary consideration.
When / broke m with the Detroit
team l was only twenty years old. 1
looked to Sam Crawford as a model to
pattern my life after. Ard have
never regretted the decision made
then. Sam has never deviatcd from the
course l figured he would follow.

REMENAS IS GREAT
PITCHER ACCORDING
TO jim INQUIRE
Cleveland Would Gladly
Have Taken the Butte
Boy.

, Deacon Jim Mcclure, who will act
rs tutor to the Tiger pitchers and
catchers down South this spring, says
that Detroit has a future great in
Alexander Remenas, the big right-hand-
er, from Butte, Mont.
IF you harnt grabbed this big boy
Cleveland would take him South this
spring instead of Detroit" Mcclure told
Frank Navin. II went out and looked
him over. BY George, there's one great
pitcher and just the boy for Cleveland.
I said, but when l interviewed the club
owners, they told me that Detroit had
already secured him.
"Remenas has wide, free movement.
He stands nearly six feet two inches
And weighs about 1856 pounds. He has
q world of speed, and his good right
arm is sure to hurl them across the
plate in the American League this
year"

Muscles Affected.

tramer are correct in their views is in

Show Surprise.
Considerable surprise is being ex-
pressed in Cleveland by the announce

his Maps from the bench. Should his
regular first baseman be injured, Davis
will don the spangles, but otherwise he
will emulate his distinguished developer,
G. Mack, and remain seated during the
struggles at home and on the road.
The two major leagues have nothing
