CRAWFORD IS
T MORE MONEY
CLUB IS T

Detroit. Mich. Dec. 14.-Sam Craw-
ford. for ten years one Of the star out
fielders of the American league, has
Joined the holdout club for the first
time in his life. His peeve is that he
has been asked to play first base for
the same salary he took down for
chasing three-base hits. According to
Sam. first base is the hardest position
on the diamond to play. and is worth
considerably nor than an outfelder's
job.
I'll be glad to play first base, or
anywhere else Jennings wants to put
me-" said Sam recently. but not I'M
less l get the salary 1 want. A first
baseman has to get hundreds of
throws from all angles and in every
position. with men tearing into him
at full speed. He may get a hundred
and no thanks. but if he misses one
he is PANIED to a cinder.
IT remember being sen to first in
st. Louis M day in 1908 when Ross
man had quit the game. 1 had just
one chance. The score was two to
one in III favor in the last half Of the
ninth and some popped up a little
fly back of first. I Yer back to get
it. but with that bi gglove on / never
got O. grip on it. Two inner on
second and third scored, and 1 threw

Chicago, Dec. 14.-Manager Evers

Of his career as a manager. The So

examples of d player who kept his

Every fan knows that 1t is hard for
a player to retire at n time. even
when he Is no longer OF service by fea-

but he has gone so far now with his

NAP LAj0|E IS
GOING TO STICK
Cleveland Star wants to Plav
Four Years in the
Big Show.

Cleveland. Ohio. Dec. 14.-1t was
on September s. 1875. that Napoleon
Lajoie first saw the light of day. 1t
was in 1896 that Larry made his de-
but as a big league player. 1t was
In 1902 that he played his first game
with the Maps. He is still a member
Of the Cleveland club and hopes to
celebrate his fortieth birthday ami
versary as a member Of the Maps,
an dthen some. -Four more years as
a big Lacquer and Larry say he thinks
he will be about ready to step down
and out. although he figures his bat
ting eye will be just as keen in 1916
as In 1912. and he expects to lose none
Of his ability as a fielder.
The last contract Lajoie signed with
the Cleveland club was for four years,
1909, 1910, 1911 and 1912. It called
for-well, that's a matter between
the Cleveland club officials and Larry
himself. Larry's salary has been va
riousIy estimated at from $4,000 to
$4,000 a ear The chances are the
amount is closer to the larger than
the smaller figure.
There have been rumors in circula-
ton Of late that Larry would have to
submit to a cut in salary the coming
season and that there would be no
long period contract. Those are mat
tiers for Larry and President Som
mers to thresh out between them
selves. When a man is close to the
40-year mark his term Of usefulness
as a ball player is a matter Of con-
lecture and few and far between are
club owners who will sign them up
for a longer period than one season,
especially at the fat salary hat Lar
~ has been receiving of late years.
But President Er'~"ners and Larry
have never had g rnuble in get
ting together" H. past, and the
chances are they reach an amic-
mans future in short order when they
hold their conference.
Right now Larry is enjoying life
to the full at his country home on
Mayfield road. No that the big fell
low is loafing and waxing fat. Not he.
Instead he puts in u good many hours
Of hard work each day. After lunch
and dinner Larry Tolls back in his
easy chair in front of the hearth. It
Is Their that it occurs to him that base
ball isn't such a bad business after
all. Larry has made a good pile
out Of the national game. He is rich
in the worlds goods with a wife,
farm, city property. bonds and a nice
bank account.
But even so though he is surround
ed by all these Larry can keep his
mind off the national sport. Baseball
is ever uppermost in his mind. He is
now anxious for the call to arms in
the spring which will take him to
Pensacola. Fla. and then-well then
he hopes that his greatest dream will
be realized and that he will play on
a pennant-winning team.
