CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. g.
Lack of harmony in the ranks is be,
ing blamed too much for the Maps
poor showing this year. To be sure
cases have been known where base,
ball clubs have suffered because
there was lack of unanimity, but to
say that the Maps are poor last
because certain members of the
Cleveland American League club de-
cline to give Manger Birmingham
their best efforts is ridiculous.
The actual truth is that the Maps
are not as good a baseball club as
has been represented. In the opinion
Of many they were playing over
their heads when they made things
interesting for the Athletics during
the greater part of the 1913 season.
Outside of the pitching staff the
team last year shaped up as about
the equal of any in the league out
side of the Athletics as long as it
was hitting, but slump with the
stick along with the crippling Of the
pitching staff caused it to go back.
Poor pitching Is what has caused most
# the. poor showing this season. The
Nap pitchers have given more passes
han any of their rivals. When
Cleveland pitcher has shown fairly good
hat a6 nn0rlV
-vhen the team has been hitting we'll
the pitchers have shown miserable
rorm. Time and again the batters nave
chalked UP a fairly large lead for the
ritchcrs in the early innings. only to
have the opposition come from behind
and win out
When the season started Cleveland
had Steen and Mitchell, the only two
veteran pitchers that could be depended
upon, and Steen had his hand broken IN
his first game. causing him TO be rele-
.ated to the hospital for over a month.
Groy. nitc-hed occasionally and won his
Eames-most of them-but was not in
condition to be relied upon in his regu-
lar turn. Banding proved ineffective,
Lefty James was recovering from Sc
rious illness, and birmingham was
forced to call upon three recruits
HaRerman, Collamore and Bowman
rather frequently. Each displayed
flashes of brilliancy, but rot one was
able to pitch consistently.
The Athletics with their great batting
strength might have been able TO have
shouIdered the Nap pitching s.aff and
opt in the lead, but the Maps did not
ave the hitters TO Offset the poor
mound work. The pitching STAFF that
,.leveiand has today is not a strong one.

FOXES FOR HUNTERS
Iowa Does Thriving Business With
Clubs and SpOrtsmen.

One or the oldest lines or business
that was ever conducted In Keokuk,
Iowa, L. that which o. B. Pinkerton,
a young business man has been max
Ing U side line during the last couple
OF months. This business Is that OF
buying and selling live foxes, which
are shipped here from many West
ern and Southern States and sent
out from there to hunting clubs and
individuals in Eastern and Southern
States.
F1nkertOn took up this business
some time during the latter part of
April. Since that time he has handled
over zoe of the animals and finds that
the business Is increasing constantly
There is great demand for foxes,
especially young ones, i'm the East
and South. Fox hunts, one OF the most
popular forms OF sport among the
rich people in certain sections of the
country, are becoming less frequent
on account OF the fact that the fox In
becoming almost extinct i'm the East
eTn States
In order that fox hunting may be
kept UP il is necessary to import the
animals from Western States The
demand for them il enormous and
PinkertOn has no trouble in dispos-
ing or all he can obtain. One man, I'll.
r. Nichols, OF Garden City, Long Is
land, ". w., has placed an order with
Pinkerton for 500 foxes to be shipped
az soon as they can be secured.
Pinkerton says the greater number
or the animals are sold in New York.
However, he also sells many to
wealthy ranChers in Texas, where fox
hunting by automobile is becoming a
popular sport Others are sold to
clubs and individuals in South Caro-
lima, Alabama, Mississippi and Hir-
ginia, where there is a great demand
for tnem among wealthy pleasure
seekers.
The animals are purchased in
nearly all OF the central Western
States west OF the Mississippi Iowa,
Kansas and Nebraska supply most of
them Although there are many hunt
erS In these States who sell their
whole output" to Pinkerton, he also
buys many Of them from farmers who
happen to run into a den occasion
ally Pinkerton gets these by insert
ing small advertisements in the news
papers in various sections OF the
country.
The animals are purchased for
amounts ranging from 81 to $3.50, ac-
cording to their age and condition.
Although foxes OF all ages are pur-
chased, the younger ones-those OF
from three weeks to three or four
months-are most desired and bring
better prices. No foxes are purchas-
ed il crippled or in bad health. The
animals are shipped in crates with
screen wire on one or two sides of
the crate They seem to stand travel
easily, but are always very wild when
they reach here. They are fed on
raw meat, generally hamburger.
After reaching here they are kept
for several days in order to let them
rest up for while before continuing
their journey to their new homes. The
young foxes are very pretty little
creatures and look as though they
would make charming pets, but in
reality they are very wild and 1t is
seldom that anyone. succeeds In tam
ing them.-From New York Sun.
