SAiER IS HARD HITTER
Cub Is Getting to Be Real For
midable With His Bat.
First Baseman Has Ton Homers TO
His Credit and 10 Ranked With
schuIte-Zlmmerman Glass Of
sluogers-HlttIng lie Surprise.

Players ON the Chicago Cub base-
ball team are taking their turn In
leading the organization in the home
run department. Three years ago
Frank Schultz headed the list and
the National league with total of
81, the largest number ever accumu-
lated by single ball player since
Buck Freeman Of Washington hung
up his mark of 25. Schultz did 80
wonderfully well that season that ev-
eryone expected him to pass that
mark in 1912. Instead he fell from
the ranks of the home-run getters
and Heinie Zimmerman took his place.
The third sacker led the Cub team
last summer. He also finished the
year at the top of the league bat
tiers, with an average Of .374. Like
Schultz, he was expected to do still
better this year. He Is not doing
1t and Saier has supplanted him as
first home-run getter Of the team.
Safer was not expected to prove the
clubs longest hitter this year, but
the youngster is developing so rap
Idly and playing such wonderful ball
that anything he does from now on
should not surprise a soul. Last year
Jake Daubert was picked as the
leagues best first sacker, but he does
not outclass the Cubs wonder. That
is the opinion Of many smart ball
players in the National league. Many
athletes, and also several command
ers, declare that Safer Is without a
question the greatest first baseman
who has come into the organization
since Daubert was introduced.
Safer has improved in every de-
partment. He has Fingered up inn
mensely, is showing a lot of life on
the bases, and has learned the i'm
portance of aggressiveness. He is
hitting SO well that he has now
driven home more runs than any
other player on the club. Until the
last eastern trip Zimmerman was the
head of the list in that respect but
he has been showed back q few

club. He was the class of the league
from the start, and Hugh Duffy. then
manager at Milwaukee, picked him for
star. Duffy dispatched a represen-
tative to the Wisconsin burg and In
few days the representative was back
with Chapel, for whom he paid the
meager sum OF 5000.

HOTELS HIS WAITING ROOM
st. Louis Rural Visitor Camps In Lob
bies Of Big Hostelrles to "Walt
for Train"

st. Louisa rural visitor from
near Jefferson City," six feet three
inches tall, and imbued with be-
lated Labor day spirit and several
other kinds OF spirits, came to st.
Louis, and like many other strangers
went out for stroll before train time.
When he became tired he walked into
one of the most fashionable hotels
near Forest park and sprawled him
self out for a rest in a rocker in the
center OF the lobby. BY and by the
clerk asked him for whom he was
waiting. and the, stranger replied for
a train"
The clerk explained that trains did
not pass the hotel, and asked po-
liceman to direct the ruralite to the
Union station. An hour later guests
at another large hotel saw the strang.
er walk in, remove his shoes and set.
tie down for quiet sleep. Again o
policeman was called and again the
stranger replied he was waiting for
train" This time the policeman
accompanied him on q street car to
the Union station.
At the station the stranger, still
blissfully ignorant Of his mistakes.
remarked: Zine lot of stations you
got In this town."

$4,000 PAID FOR A PLAYER
comiskey of Chicago White Sox 10
Latest to Pay Fabulous Price for
Hard Hitting Player.

Owner Charles Comiskey, of the Chi.
cago American league team, is the
latest magnate to go into the base
ball market and pay fabulous price
for ball player. The head of the
White Sox has purchased Larry Cha.
pell from the Milwaukee club of the
American association. at a price that
is said to total $4,000. This makes
Chapel the second highest priced ball
player that ever came up from the
minors, Marty O'Toole, the $22,5O0
wonder" still holding the crown.
The price paid by Comiskey for Cha
pell includes the market value Of two
players, the actual cash consideration
being $4,000, 1t is said. the two play.
ers figuring at $4,000 apiece. Outtield'

er being a catcher who Is to be turned
over to Milwaukee next spring.
Chapel goes into the major league
touted as one of the most sensational
outfielders of recent years. His bat
ting in the American association has
been in the neighborhood Of $40, and
1t was this mark that drew the atten
ton of more than half of the big
league clubs. The Chicago Cubs and

MICHIGAN FAIR
BEST EVER HELD
RAIN ON THE LAST DAY OF
STATES EXPOSITION KEEPS
CROWD AWAY.
JANUS MAKES TWO FLIGHTS
Dickinson. General Manager, Declares
Several Of the Officials Are In
Favor Of Ten-Day Show
Next Year.

Lansing.-With the close OF what
Ia declared to have been the greatest
gtate fair in the history of Michigan,
oil indications point toward a ten-day
fair next year. and although nothing
definite has been announced, discus.
Blons on the question have been TAX
en- UP and decision may be made
soon.
General Manager Dickinson said
several officials we're in favor of a
ten-day event. The fair next year
will also be started earlier than usual,
according to present plans.
What undoubtedly would have been
the biggest day Of the fair was mar
red by downpour of rain, and many
who arrived on the grounds early
were drenched before they could find
shelter.
The majority of the concessions
withstood the rain, but many of the
exhibitors, realizing that attendance
would fall off, took down their ban
ners and prepared to depart.
Every event that was carded, with
the exception OF the races. was put
through In the regular way, including
the final aeroplane flights by Tommy
Janus and the fireworks in the eve
ming.
Janus made two successful flights
during the day and then prepared to
leave for st. Louis.
II. S. Newton. superintendent OF
horticulture, said: Whatever else
the fair may have accomplished II
has convinced the fruit growers OF
Michigan that apples for market be
long in boxes and not in barrels. and
that they can now compete success
fully with the growers from the west
in the fancy markets. These western.
ers have been able to make the grade
because Of the attractiveness of their
displays.

ment had been received that Grand

upon Investigation to be untrue.

Notches by Safer The latter has driv-
en- home nearly 60 men, which is
about seven more than Zimmerman is
given credit for scoring.
The ten home runs Safer has made
up to the time this article was writ
ten prove conclusively what he is
capable of doing. To some ten four
base cracks may not seem a whole lot,
but when 1t is figured that he has
made most of his homers away from
the West side lot that is quite bunch.
Cravath Of the Philadelphia team has
II home runs chalked up for him.
While no effort is to be made to de-
prive him of due credit, ii must be
said his achievement is not 30 won
derful as that of Safer. or Cravath's
home runs IL have been made on the
Philadelphia grounds, where the right
field Tense is extremely close, and it
10 also easy to bounce drives into the
left-field bleachers.
Safer has not made his homers of
the weak pitchers. He has demon
strated to the National leagues best
that it is anything but wise policy
to give him a ball inside about waist
high. Not long ago Tesreau. one Of
the leagues leading hurlers, passed
Zimmerman with tho intention of find
ing snap in Safer. The young Cub
initial sacker declined to be belittled
and proceeded to do what Zimmerman
might have done-smashed out home
run, scoring three men. The twirlers
off OF whom Safer has collected his
decade of home runs arc Adams,
Steele, Alexander. Amess Ragon.
Hess, Tesreau, Wagner. Mayer and
O'Toole.

Michigan Coal Nearly Gone.


According to State Geologist r. c.
Allen. Michigan may cease to be, a
coal producing state within 10 years.
He says that there Is only enough
minable coal In Saginaw and Bay
counties to last that length of time,
provided the output does not exceed
the rate of production maintained
during the last five years.
He points out that practically all
of the coal mined in Michigan at pres
ent comes from Saginaw and Bay
counties.
Acting for the state tax commission
Geologist Allen and his assistant, r.
A. Smith. appraised all the coal prop
critics OF Saginaw and Bay counties
and placed tentative valuation of
$l,250,000 on them. However, the fig
ures will not be final until reviewed
by the commission According TO Al
lens figures submitted to the tax
commission. Saginaw countys coal
properties are worth $561,000 while
those in Bay are appraised at $685.
900. He says that In Saginaw and
Bay counties 23,795,O00 tons OF coal
have been developed and are being
mined. Coal beds which have no
shafts are worth 800 an acre. accord
ing to Allen, while the mnable beds
tributary to operating mines are
worth $3.50 an acre.
According to Allen wages and so
cial conditions are better in the Mich
igan mines than in any other coal
mining section In the country.

The Markets


Hops have changed their center Of
movement from Oregon to California,
and the market there the past few days
has been quite lively. Prices have
jumped up to 25 cents again and the
Indications are they will go consider
ably higher, Horst, in his latest bull
letin, gives the American crop as fol-
lows; Oregon, $4,000 bales; Califor.
MIA, 100000; Washington, 10000, and
New York, 10000; a grand total of 3O5,.
600. To this he adds importations from
Europe of 10000 bales or in all, 3a5,-
900 bales. He estimates the amount
necessary for American brewers at 275,.
600 bales, leaving $4,000 for export.
The European crop is very short, ae'
cording to all reports, and the supply
is not sufficient for the worlds de-
mand. With these conditions 1t looks
as though hops were certain to go to
top prices,
Wheat remains unchanged and the
dcmand is not clamorous. The demand
for Oregon prunes is good, and pota-
toes are tending upwards. Several car
loads have been sold at 81 the sack.
The prevailing price is from 81 TO $llO,
but this for "fancies," the common
article going at rs cents.
Onions are quoted at $l,75 {. o. b. at
shipping points, and in Portland al
