 Commerce

State Chemist Dr. B. B. Ross of Auburn is delighted with the entertainment by Birmingham of the party of chemists and scientists which spent the entire day in Birmingham last week.

RUBE WADDELL PUNCHES
ROSSMAN, FORMER TIGE
Comes To Boody House, Toledo,
After Fishing Trip and
Lands on Claude

TOLEDO, O., April 20.-Rube Wad-
dell, demon pitcher and demon fisher
man, is now a demon fighter. The
Rube put on an exhibition OF the art
OF clout and wallop in the lobby OK
the Boody house, late last night with
Claude Rossman, Miller right-fielder
and former Detroit player, as the re-
ceiying end OF the short but nifty
swatfest.
The story goes that the Rube had
very successful night fishing trip.
He didn't overlook a good or bad spot
and when he arrived at the Boody he
was in a sweet and winsome mood.
Rossman was in the eccentric party's
path, SO Rube walked up TO Claude.
who was peering into telephone
book. and took a major league punch
ct him.
Right to the spot went the wallop.
II caught Rossman in the back OF the
bean, and he started bounding around
among desks. telephone booths and
hotel furniture. When he got on an
even keel, he started after Waddell
and the pair went into a vise-like
clutch. Then pitcher Leo Sage sep
arated the swatters, and they were
sent TO their rooms.

STARS WILL Be KEPT
SEPARATED IN OLYMPIC
Events in Races From 100 to
1900 Meters Are To Be
Seeded"

The Svenska Idrottsforbundet-t
use the Official title OF the association
which will have charge OF running on
the games at Stockholm-has an
nounced that the heats in all races
where trials will be found necessary
will be seeded" that is, the crack
men from the different teams viii be
drawn as far apart as possible. with
the idea that the top notchers Will
only come together in the finals. The
plan was adopted for the purpose or
insuring good racing in the trials and
semi-finals and that only the really
good men will find their way into the
final round.
How the Swedes propose to make
the draw is simple enough. When the
Official entry has been well straight
ened out each country will be asked
for a list OF its men, graded with the
best men at the top, so that II VIII
be possible to know the stars from
each team at a glance and there VIII
be no trouble in arranging them
apart. There Is a rumor also from
Stockholm that the Swedes may wait
until all the teams arrive and at a
meeting OF the representatives OF
each team make the draw.
The plan OF seeding the draw
may not mean close contests in all
the heats. but it5 is more desirable
method than the chance draw. which
on more than one important occasion
turned a frst-class contest into
fiasco.
There was a glaring example OF the
chance draw in the Olympiad at Lon
don four years ago. II was partcu-
larry SO in the 1900 meters, where
Sheppard and Halstead, two OF the
best men on the United States team.
we're drawn against each other, ana
were first and second respectively In
the second heat, which was by far the
best contested OF the lot. Sheppard
won by a yard after terrific struggle
on the home stretch, q fact that snow
ed that Halstead was little inferior 10
the champion Halstead was Knocked
out OF the competition then and there,
as only the winners qualified Tor the
final. Had he been In the hnal ne
would surely have scored at least
point for the United States. Light
body and Sullivan met in the first
heat. with the latter the winner and
the former In second place. A seed
ed" draw would have placed them
we'll apart. for Sullivan was an ex-na-
tional champion miller and Lightbody
had been the victor for the $500 In
the American Olympiad at ST. Louis
in 1904.
When the games were held In
Athens in 1906 James f. Sullivan,
who was then the American commits
sioner, suggested to seed the draw
OF the sprints at the first meeting OF
the international jury and there was
all sorts OF surprise on the part or
the Europeans. The Englishmen and
the Swedes were the only members
who agreed to the proposition OF the
American, which was lost on the vote.
Prince George, Of Greece, could not
see the advantage of seeding" the
draw and as he had matters all his
own way as referee. the chance meth.
cd OF drawing prevailed, but for once
IL turned out that the best mn were
we'll separated In the sprints.

Cobb came across with a clean

Just as vital a part as Burns played
in losing Sundays game did kaler
play in winning it. Holding the Tigers
to six hits, three OF which went TO
Cobb. was some stunt.
Raler told his Cleveland consti
tuents that he wasn't worrying about
Tyrus. They warned him that Ty
would get TO him. but he assumed the
attitude (proper il must be admitted)
that Cobb had nothing on him.
Butcher robbed Ty OF his fourth hit
In succession when he muffed the
Peach's low swift liner TO left. Even
with the mum, il looked like a hit to
many.
Kaler's two-bagger in the tenth with
the bases drunk, also showed that he
had the right spirit about taking the
responsibility OF winning hfs own
game. The tallies he drove in were
entirely superiuous except in cowing
the Tigers, but Kaler indulged in a
wide-open laugh when he settled on
the second sack.
And just as vital as was the work
OF either hurler. Sunday, was that OF

DETROIT BUM our second and
BASEBALL third places, that
TOWN. while Detroit may
have great baseball
teams, 'it is a bum baseball town"
Not only did the $4,000 admissions
for the two days put this on the blink,
but more than that, the spirit of the
crowd put IL on the blinker. When
the Tiges were going worst, Satur-
day, they got the best hands. When
they looked as II they were gone. the
noise was the loudest. Same Sunday.
The police took in charge every.
body who knocked Jointly or separate
ly and no arrests were reported.
The treatment that everybody re-
ceived in these first games OF the sea-
son betokens the best kind OF year
for the Tigers, flag OF consolation.
Navin field proved all that was ex-
pected OF IL as an up-to-date baseball
plant. 1t received the immense crowd
easily and discharged IL after the
game very quickly. The overflow was
easily taken care of being shunted

Six lovely free passes accorded

BY calling on Ed. Walsh at the
critical time, the White Sox pulled
the third Of their series with the
Browns out Of the fire.
BY punching five out of Its nine
hits in the sixth, Cincinnati beat
the Cardinals, 7 to 1. A home run
by Esmond with two on the
bases cinched the game.
