There is no doubt in the minds of baseball fans as to Ty Cobb being De- troit's superior outfialder but due con sideration must be given to one Samuel Crawford. Year in and year out finds him stationed in right field chasing and pulling down line drives that manage to float in his direction. For consistent work one must doff his hat to "Wahoo' Sam, who for the past 10 summers has rendered his services to the Detroit club. If nothing slips you will see him cavorting in the right meadow when the curtain is rung up for the approaching season.
 Crawford played his first professional game of baseball in 1898 with the Chatham club of the Canadian league, of which he was a member but year, taking part in 4S contests and slug ging the pill for .370 average.
 In 1899 he was transferred to the Co., lumbus club of the Western league, but did not last long as a member of that firm and was shipped over to Grand Rapids of the same organization and did fairly well in batting and fielding.
 Then came his sudden rise into the big leagues. Joining the Cincinnati Reds in 1900 after playing three years as a Rhinelander he jumped the club and switched over to the Detroit Amer icans From then on he has done little outside of knocking down fences and a few other things. Crawford, his first year out as a member of the Reds d not come up to expectations and hit for only .27e. In 1901-2 he surprised everybody and clouted the horsehide savagely for 1884 and .33S, which was considered good for being in the major organiza ton such a short time.
 "Wahoo" Sam throws and bats left handed and is noted for his ability al slugging the ball Many time pitch-

SAM CRAWFORD'S BASEBALL
 RECORD STACKS UP WITH BEST

CTS sought to pass up the Tiger out fielder in order to get chance at a weak sticker.
 Within the last few days report circulated that if "Wahoo' Sam did not receive an increase in salary he would retire from the national pastime, claiming that he has stored away enough dollars to go in business for himself. If such report is true, tho game will lose one of the starriest fly chasers in the history of baseball.
 Crawford enjoyed his best year as an American leaguer in the season of 1911, when he pummelized the ball for .S7S average, and scoring 109 runs. which is the most he has ever accomplished in season. Since the Tiger right fielder has been travelling about with Detroit he piled Up the grand batting average of .Stt, which is regarded as some very consistent batting
 In the fielding line he ranks with the best of them having accepted some 2211 chances, and has turned but so pebbles, for an average of .972 2-5. Fol lowing are his batting and fielding averages as a Tiger:
