CRwFoRD. HERO OF wAHoO,
 IS THIRrY-THREE TO-DAY

Very likely you don't know where wahoo is, Therefore, as it is the mis- sion of the journaIist to up1ift. edu- to state that wahoo is the capital of Saunders county. Nebraska, said cotin- ty being adjacent to those containing Omaha and Lincoln and cplored red on the map. Aside from the entranc- ing cadence of its name, Wahoo is celebrated in song and story as the birthplace of that heroic figure, Sam ueI Crawford, outfielder for the De- troit Tigers, and, by virtue of his prowess in pifflicating the pill. one of the leading lights of the Order of the Sons of Swat. It was just thirty three years ago today that the hero of Wa hoo first saw the light of day. His was no different from that of just an ordinary human being. In his early teens he determined to become a pro- fessiona1 ball player, and at eighteen he realized this ambition when he was hired, at salary of SIS per month, to cover a garden position for the Chatham, Ont, club of the Canadian League. The youth from ,Wa.hoo was rather indifferent fielder, but he soon had all the twirlers of the circuit eat ing out of his hands, and finished the season with a batting average of .370.
 The following year, 1S99s Crawford played with Columbus and Grand Rapids. then in the Western League, and he was only nineteen when he was drafted by the Cincinnati Red Sox and found himself in fast com pany During his first year in the National he batted only -27O, but he increased this to 1884 the following year, and was hailed as one of the b1g finds of the year. He remained with the Red Sox until the close of the 1902 season, when he jumped to De- troit. His first year in the American League, 1903, was very successful, but in 1904 his batting slumped below
 250. The following year he recover ed his eye and ever since he has been near ors above the 300 mark. San's s big year was 1911. when he batted at .37s gait, being surpassed only by Cobb and Jackson. The veteran right fielder is said to receive a salary of $5,OOO a. year. For several seasons he was tried out at first base, but never made a shining success at that post

put down the cup and rushed forth.
 Instantly the girl changing herself into reptile gave chase. He hur- ried on, but glancing back he per- ceived she was gaining steadily upon him. He paused and staked his all upon close encounter. As the creaI- ure crept up to him he quickly charg- ed his weapon to the full and LOOK careful and deliberate aim, placing the curved butt of the blunderbuss against his cheek, then at the cr1u- cal moment put his light fuse into the fash-pan filled with powder; the report rang out, a vivid flash, his cheek was b1ackened Ind scared more indehb1y than ever; but the contents of the barrel did their work, for it stayed the serpent, who, se- verely wounded and with torn flesh, crept into hiding among the brush wood In the excitement of the mor ment, however, Pax had let loose his falcon, who flew away he knew not whither.
 Somewhile later Pax was usual out in his beloved valley studying. Even as he studied there grew up be- side him a little bush, but so absorb ed was he that he did not notice it, and at last, weary with study, he slept. When he awoke he fult hungry, and seeing ripe berries on the bush just beside him, he plucked and ate. The same night he felt the most severe pains, a crawling sensation in his limbs, and his body began to swell He thought he must have been pois- oned. Growing worse and worse, he took the customary remedy of ground deer's horp' given to him by the native physician he had called in, but all in vain.
 In the morning he felt he was dy- ing. and as a last request he begged his wife to carry him out to his fa- vorite spot beneath one of the big oak trees in the valley; lying there he fam cied that hanging from every twig of this massive tree there was a little hideously at him. Then he realized, alas! too late, that his enemy the snake had at last accomplished its revenge.
 These distressing thoughts were disturbed by the beating of a thousand wings; numbers Of little hnches flew all around him, then they settled upon him and began pecking his flesh. The irritation was terrible, and the pain severe, but he was so weak as to be. unable to drive away the birds. Very soon one had pecked a hole through his skin. out of which crept a little snake. Then the truth flashed upon him that these little ones were the, friends of the bird he had rescued from the snake, that they had heard from his Iostgfa1con how he had been; attacked by the serpent and seeming ly condemned to almost certain death. but that they had come to deliver him from it's terrible revenge
 The birds kept on pecking here and there over the surface of his body and as they continued to make holes there came creeping out Of every hole scores of little snakes.
 So Pax once more recovered and remembered how true was the saying that "a friend in need is a friend 11-s7 iv,= deed"

A Snakes Revenge

Tn the land of '~,he Morning Calm there once lived one whose name was Fax Tong-ho, a great lover of nature and a great hunter. When he had saved enough money he purchased a house in one of those valleys under the mountain that is the guardian of the north side of the city.
 Through this beautiful valley flowed a stream eddying round many rocks, tumbIing over great boulders that reared their heads and making beau tfful little miniature waterfalls. Mas aive oaks. and beautiful chestnuts threw their wonderful shadows over It's ripping, foaming surface, and in summer their leaves afforded ample shade from the power of the resplen- dent sun while in winter their giant linnbs and perfect branches formed an ineomparably beautiful tracery.
 From twig to twig of these trees -Hnttered the little birds who caused inc valley ito reverberate with their happy songs. Could anything be more congenerous to Pax than these wonderful surroundings, this rythntc peace so conducive to the realms of dream. to studious habits, to the healthfu1 recreation of hunting.
 After his morning repast, he would betalxe himself with his precious vol uues of the Chinese Classics to the borders of the tumultuous stream and sitting on some rock, shaded by some ancient oak or luxurious chestnt, there, pore over the precepts of the great Confucius, or of Mencius.
 One day when as he was thus en- Eaged in study, he heard, above the Knurnur of the water cry down the valley, and glancing along discovered a little bird helpIessay fiuttering. As it hutfered it seemed as though it were impossible for it to rise. Grad raIly but surely though hardly per .ceptible 1t came nearer and nearer to the earth

 Some weeks later Pax went out hunting with falcon and bIunderbuss far into the forest on the other side of the mountain, and was greatly sur urfsed 10 find there a. newly erented house, above whose ridge-pole hung q sign announcing that wine could be obtained within.

 Eddie McGoorty. the Wisconsin middle weight, who did not fight up to his standard the past few months of his campaign last. spring, has decided to get down to business now and pre- pare for a busy time this fall. Eddie has had a good rest among the north ern pines and is now ready to get into harness. He is still working with Rudy Unho1z and they are endeavor- ing to get a match with Jack Dillon at Denver for Labor day, but that will likely fall through. Another match they are after is with Bob McAllister at San Francisco McGoorty was to have met the winner of the McA1lister- Petroskey bout the other night put the fact that it was a. draw and a good fight may result in another match between the two, in which event Eddie will have to wait. Me Goorty realizes now that he must get back into the first rank, otherwise he will not be the money maker he was last year when he started the season. There is no reason why he should not be at the top of the list, for he has everything that goes to make a great liddleweight-size, height, strength, cIeverness and hitting power. Eddie needs some more of the roughing end of the game and he will probably do better A match between the Osh : kosh boy and Dillon should be a. treat for both are on about a level now and anxious to cop off the coveted middle weight title. They have Frank Klaus and Jimmy C1abby to contend with, and fk looks now as though Bob Mo Allister of California will come along and prove a contender, in which case the race for the honor will be all the more interesting.

Those Highlanders are stepping along at a lively clip. They won the final game in Chicago, mainly through Ray Readings work and opened up in St. Louis with a victory. Chance is getting real work out of his team since his pitchers began to show some thing.
 'sDoc" Scanlon, the former Brook lyn pitcher, has decided to quit the national game and devote his entire time to the practice of medicine in Brooklyn. Scanlin is the property of the Philadelphia, club of the National circuit, but refused to report to that club because he was not satisfied with the contract rendered by that club. ScanIon has been pitching semi-pro- fessional ball for the New Brunswick N. J.. clab and his twirling has been sensational. Twice this summer he has pitched no-hit games and the Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Chicago clubs of President Lynch's circuit have sought his services.
