" EORGIA is to be congratulated

Bean to coach their baseball
team this spring. Bean is entirely

and he has had much experience
already in the handling of young
players.
II appears that there Is a strong
nucleus of old men back at Athens,
and considerable brilliant new ma

excellent for another strong aggre-

PIRATE LEADER SAYS PLAYERS
 ARE QUIT ING


 Pittsburgh. July 22--President Bar ney Dreyfuss has lost all patience with his slipping Pirates. Said he yester- day:
 It is an unfortunate thing for me that the so-caIIed players strike has been settled, for I just wanted a chance to let some players see what I would do with them If they refused to play on Wednesday There are some men on my team who are not trying to play ball, and, what is more, they are n1a.k- ing burlesque of the national game and trying to make a fool out of me. A certain player who was recently laid off claim is the ring leader in this unwillingness on the part of the play CTS to put forth their best efforts and try to win a game at least once in 2, while.
 While I do not charge the men with throwing games, do say they are not trying, nor do they seem to care, and this strike would have given me a chance. to do certain things that would have stopped the loafing op the job. which has been plain to every fan in Pittsburgh during the past six weeks

AUSTRALIAN
 TENNIS TEAM
 NOT SD STRONG

Chicago, July 22--Chicago tennis fol- lowers have failed soe far to be great Ir impressed by the work of the Aus tralasian stars who play the Cana dians for the Davis Cup prelimanar1es at the Onwentsia Club this week. Eastern hettors who have rated ehS Antipcaeans as favoritss mt 1. to 8 or for the cup. are thought by local critics to have overestinated their strength.
 At the same time the critics here who have watched other Davis Cup play consider the .Australssians better either than the British tesm or the Germans. So it Is figured that the aAntfpodeans will be the opponents or the Americans in the challenge round.
 Wilding. best known of the visitors from the other side is wonderfully steady man, rarely making errors and possessing al variety of strokes, ac- cordinE to one critic aRho has observed him practice

COBB ABSENT AND YANKEES
 BEAT TIGERS

Ty Cobb helped the Yankees a lot to win the game from Detroit at the Polo Grounds yesterday by not be- ing present. The ranks were all prined up to strike so they had to strike something and 1t happened to be the ball. The score was to B.
 The only lawyer on the field was .Hughey Jennings, and he was tempt ed to get out an injunction against Jack Warhop for pitching 30 well.
 You might think that Ty Cobb is out of the game because of some legal complication, but you're wrong, for he is nursing a cracked hand which he obtained in a fight with a butcher Ioin steak.
 Ty was quite peeved when he heard there was going to be- a strike, be- cause any time there is anything like that going on he wants to be. out in front with the band carrying the banner which reads, Pity the Poor Down-Trodden Ball Players Who Have to Work Two Hours a Day for Six Months for the Mere Pittance of 15.

ARCHER; VIORLD'S GREATEST CATCHER, TEL s THE STORY
 0F HIS CRIPPLED ARM'

Of 1902 and work around Toronto was scarce. F had just got a temporary job helping out in a cooperage shop Part of my employment consisted in placing the heads of barrelsfn a vat so that the sap could be boiled out of them. This vat was some three feet high and superheated by direct Connection with steam pipes.
 : Il had put some oak barrel heads in the vat where they were boiling and as it was getting late in the afternoon, near closing time, start led to take them out. For this pur- pose had a fork something like potato digger. The floor about the ward my foot slipped and I fell head drst into the vat InstinctfveIy, for I did not have time to think,AI grab bed the side of the vat with my left. hand This steadied me for a mo- ment and saved my life as it kept me ing saps which sseethed and bubbled black as tar.
 My face went within an inch or so of that deadly surface so that I caught a glimpse of my ownarefection and felt the blistering heat on my face But that grip on the side of the vat with my left hand while 1t saved my life swung me off balance so that the only way [ could keep from going bodily into the vat was to thrust my right arm into the boiling sap. had a heavy buckskin glove on my hand which protected it fair ly well, but the flesh on my arm was scared to the elbow and my right leg was also sca1ded to the knee.
 As soon as I had got my balance rolled out of the vat, onto a pile of steafning barrel heads and man aged to make my way to the office. I had on a tight fitting black jersey that certainIy kept the heat in fine shape. One Of the assistants thinking to do ma a good turn ripped this Jersey off. In doing so he tore all the skin of my arm to the elbow and a good I bit of the hesh with it.
 The next two months I spent in the f hospital. the better part of the time trying to persuade the doctors to cut f the arm off. couldn't think of any thing the arm would ever be worth to me to repay me for the suffering O; ] trying to save it. Now that all thai | is past and gone am glad, of course that I did save the arm, but am not sure. IswouId go through such a two months seige again
 If the doctors wouldn't cut the arm off didn't want them to touch it. T got so after a while I didn t want anyone to look at it. But I was | too tough to die then. and gradually the arm mended. That was before the days of skin grating and as a re- suit my arm is pretty well scared and ridged It is also bent and stiffened at the elbow. But it has been pret- ty useful old arm to me for all that.

 We have cited the case of James Archer. not in the way of biography, though his career is one of the most extraordi nary in baseball. We have cited it because in his case the me chanical science of catching reaches it's most perfect realization
