CROUCH
IN ORDER TO HIT
"Chk Gand Declares He Does His Best Batting When Some
one Has RIed Him-cannot Find Elusive Ball
When Cares and Troubles Have Flown.
By SENATOR"

NEW YORK, July 6.-Among the
Climbers there Is one player who says
that he does his best hitting when he
has crouch. He doesn't care how he
get his crouch, but he must have one
to hit the pill. Indeed, he says that
when he Is feeling well and hasn't a
care in the world. he can't find the
elusive pill. Therefore, he seldom en-
cages In any little jokes on the bench.
He Is always strictly attending to busi-
ness. hoping that somebody will rile
him or that he can find some grievance
at which to complain. This lad, who
does his best work when suffering from
a crouch is no other than Benedict
Arnold Gandil. alias Chick Gandf. the
clouting. mountainous first sacker Of
the Griffmen.
It's fact" says Gandil II can't
hit unless things are breaking bad for
me. Most ball players can't do their
best work unless they are in good con-
dition and everything Is breaking for
them instead of against them. But 1
want to have a crouch in order to hit
that pill. / am always looking for
something TO give me crouch, for then
matter who is pitching against me-
The first thing 1 do in the morning
Is complain about the weather II II
Is warm, l try to think IL is too warm.
If 1t Is raining, / am in luck because
anybody can kick about rainy weather
If my foot hurts, l have a crouch made
to order. / like to have the arrange
ments break down and leave me at Che
hotel after the bunch has left for the
park. I'm sure of couple of blows
that day.
% DO you know what Griff ought to
do with me next season? He ought
to hire some guy that makes me mad
to look at him, make him my roomie
on all trips. Then I'd be so all-fired
grouchy over having to live with this
gink that I'd give Cobb and Jackson
the run of their lives with the bat.
I'm going to put this up to Griff, too.
next spring. To get my couple of
blows a day, I've got to have a crouch.
How am 1 feeling today? Well, let's
see, no game today? Oh. I'm feeling
pretty well today. but tomorrow"
Last night Jacinto del Calvo, the
young Cuban outfielder, entertained
the Griffmen with managing a pool
shot exhibition by Alfredo de Orc, the
champion. Most Of the Climbers are
pool players, several being unusually
good, and there was the greatest in
terest shown in De Oro's work. De

FRED CLARKE SAYS
WAGNER IS THROUGH
Pirate Leader Admits Great
Player May Not Get in the
Game As Regular.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 6.-The
down-hearted admission today Of
Manager Fred Clarke that he fears
that Wagner may not play as a reg
ular again, at least not for the re-
mainder of this season, came as a
hnal and crushing blow 10 the hopes
of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Those close to the. affairs Of the
club have known for some time that
Wagner, while brave and hopeful in
public, has in private despaired Of
his injured knee.
The news from President Lynch
yesterday that Wagner's understudy
at shortstop, yiox. has been suspend
ed for three days for his run-in yes
rerday with Umpire Quigley was a
further disheartener.

Griff May Look Over CaNo's Brother
By SENATOR"

NEW YORK, July 6.-Tomorrow the
Climbers play their last two games in
the East until the twenty-ffth, leav-
Ing at night for Detroit, whete rhey
will open their second Western in
Vasfon of the 1913 campaign.
Joe Engel or Walter johnson and
Joe Boehling will probably be the
pitching selections of the Old Fox,
and every effort will be made to seize
these two victories and gain on the
Naplanders. No consideration is now
being given to the teams behind the
Griffmen. Only the Mackmen and the
Maps are thought important and Man
ager Griffith is confident that he will
bring his lads home from this trip in
second place. OF the six games last
week the Climbers won five and they
should depart for the West in an ad-
vantageous position.
Today Griffith intends journeying to
Long Branch, n. J., to cast his critical
eye upon Tomas Del Calvo, older
helder. If the young Cuban seems
worth a trial, an attempt may be made
10 obtain him. Tomas Calvo is TWEEN
ty-three years old and throws right
ildHucu- he Is quit dlOnS the same
short chunky lines of Jacinto. is fast
on his feet and is now hitting for 3s7
The Old Fox has heard SO much about
this young shortstop that he has de-
cided to look him over.
George Mullin has had his last trial
with the Climbers, obtaining waivers
from every other club in the league.
Manager Griffith will send the former
Tiger either to Montreal or Buffalo.
his destina ton being determined by
Buffalo seems more likely to get him.
Mullin was the easiest kind of
proposition for the Yankees, Friday,
and this settled his fate. Manager
Griffith feels that he has given the
veteran sufficient chance to show his
class and that he has failed.
The success of Boehlng may mean
the passing of another pitcher within
a few days. Waivers have been asked
on three players, one of whom is
Mullin. Until they have been OBJ
tanned Manager Griffith Will not dis
cuss them. however. One of the re-
manning due is believed to be pitch
er who has failed TO deliver the goods.

Frank Leroy Chance is never going to

CLAM BEsTs ELL

BOSTON, Mass. Sept. 26.-
Michael Morrisey, of Dedham, wit
messed one of the queerest water
battles that Boston has ever heard
of when he saw a clam defeat an
eel in a fight in the tall grass
along the bank of the Charles
river. The eel was trying to snap
the tender part of the inside of
the clam, and the clam kept its
mouth open. Finally the eel
made its strike and the clam
caught 1t, holding its head firmly
between its jaws. Then Morrisey
got stick and dragged the COM
sbatants ashore, where he killed
the eel by blow over the head,
and ate the clam.
