TO PROTECT HUSBAND
Mrs. Charles Bennett Invented.
Continuance of Cork. ;
Crude, but Very Substantial Shield
Made by Sewing Heavy Material
Together-Cause Of Amusement .
to the Spectators. :

Charley Bennett, the noted catcher
OF the famous old Detroit team Of 1886.
1887, delights in telling the story OF
how he and his wife made the first
c%atcher's breast protector ever worn
by any backstopper in the country.
And he says that Gray, the patentee OF
the protector now in use, got his first
idea from the homemade affair Of C.
BENEFITS inventive genius and Mrs.
Benefits skill with the needle.
1t was a constant source Of worry to
the then very young and very pretty
Mrs. B. to watch her husband being
made a target for the speed merchants
Of 80 years ago. And she fully real
lied the pressing necessity of some
kind OF armor to prevent the hot shot
sent through by these speedy slabmen.
from caving In a rib or two that be-
longed to her handsome better half.
So she ard her hubby proceeded to.
contrive some means Of saving tho
aforementioned ribs. After much deep
thinking and considerable labor they,
gradually shaped out something that
had a faint resemblance to the pro-
tector worn today.
p crude, but very substantial shield
was made by sewing strips OF cork of
a good thickness in between heavy
bed ticking material. So after much
hard work they had it ready for trial.
Charlie didn't have nerve enough toI
wear it outside his shirt for fear of
the fans roasting him for being chick
en- hearted, sc he wore 1t under his
shirt. In a private trial it worked fine.
After Bennett got used to his new!
appliance he wore it in a regular conf
test, and with the eyes Of thousands
of the spectators gazing upon him hd
would let a fast one hit him square on|
the chest. The ball would reboundi
back almost to the pitcher, much ta
the Amusement of the fans and players
who weren't on to the hidden cause.

WANTS 5000 BINGLES
Big Tiger 0utfielder Is Out After
New Record.
Ordinary Hitting In Seasons Of 1915
and 1916 viii Send Sam Crawford
Under Wire on to Heels Of
Hans Wagner and Lajois.

Another couple Of seasons will find,
Detroit in possession Of a slugger whoi
will have charge Of 5000 major leaguej
base hist doesn't take any great
amount Of baseball knowledge to figj
ure the athlete; there's only one Tiger,
to whom that honor could 60, and;
that is Sam Crawford. :!
The big outfelding star has been.
with Detroit for twelve years. In the,
seasons Of 1904 to 1914 inclusive Crawl
ford made 2,031 hits, an average Of,
slightly better than 1874 to a season.
Crawford broke into major league
baseball in 1899 as a member Of the
Cincinnati National league team. In
about thirty games he made thirty-two
hits. +
His years as 4 Tiger and the total
Of his hits art tabulated thus: 1904,
al; 1905, 227; 1906, 1866; 1907, 1888;
1908, III; 1909, 1873; 1910, 1877; 1911,
PIT; 1912, 1889; 1918, 1913; 1914, 1873.
The statistics Of modern day base.
ball are somewhat deficient, but fig
uring that the slugger made an aver.
age Of 1874 hits q season, which he un.
doubtedly did, 1t can be found that in
the seasons Of 1900 to 1903 inclusive
he collected 7S6 safe swats, thus
bringing the total for his career to
2,767.
Just ordinary hitting in the seasons
Of 1915 and 1916 will send "Wahoo
Sam under the wire and on to the
heels Of Hans Wagner and Larry La.
joie, the only other veterans to reach
the mark.
Crawford proposes setting a mark
that will stand for all time. He has set
upon $500 as the total for his hits,
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1915-07-16
Sam Crawford.

and, reaching this mark, he will just
about put up a mark for all hitters to
shoot at. y, Nn.eg ~ a.
Harry Tuthill, trainer of the team,
says Crawford has at least five moro
years to go as a major league star.
Unless meeting with an accident,
there is no reason why Crawford
should not continue playing almost in
definitely" declared Tuthill. Sam
takes better care Of himself than any
other player in baseball; probably bet
ter care Of himself than any other
man in tho country. !
HE starts training for a season
with the beginning Of the year. He
eliminates all pastries from his food
stufs; he doesn't drink at any time;
he never smokes during the training
season and seldom out of it; he lives
regularly, eats regularly, and when a
healthy mar at the beginning keeps
up a life like this there is no reason
why he should not continue playing
baseball almost as long rs he wishes.
Crawford is an ideal player. He is:
a player every n looks upon with
favor, and he carries the respect Of
teammates and opposing players. He
is easily handled, and when a man
carries this record there is nothing to
fear"
If Crawford makes good on his
hopes the chances favor the creation
OF a record Of more than $500 hits.

Hot Springs. Ark. when he joined the|
local team OF the Arkansas league, in,
1908. Ono month after reporting to-.

tho attention OF almost every major
league club, and was purchased by the.
New York Americans on May Is. Lack
Of experience sent him to Scranton OF
the New York State league, but he
was recalled in a month.
In the spring Of 1900 he was sent to

PLAN P0ST-W0RLD'S SERIES
President Tener Advances Proposition
to Have Champions Play Against
4 Picked Team.

President John K. Tener of the Ma.
tional league advances the attractive
proposition to stage a p]ost-world's Sc.
ries on the Pacific coast next fall.
The proposition involves the worlds
champions against a picked team Of
the best players in the various leagues.
To say the least this is novel, and I
have no doubt 1t will be extremely
taking to the baseball followers on the
coast who have little opportunity to
see the big fellows in action except
during training seasons.
In order to accomplish what Presi.
dent Tener proposes certain legisla-
ton will have to be put through the
national bodies, but If the rulers are
convinced that the meet would be at.
tractive and profitable, there is little
doubt that the necessary legislation
will be forthcoming.
The people Of the Pacific coast are
good ball patrons, and l see no reason
why a post.series game like this
should not be staged for their benefit,
especially since it promises ample ~
turns.

Revive "DoubIe Squeeze

Manager Tinker of the Chica-
go Federals is working a new"
play, a double squeeze. With
the bases filled or with men on
second and third, the batter
bunts and two men try to score,
the man or second getting a
flying start and following the
runner home from third, one
sliding in front of the plate, the
other behind it. The play is
new to this extent. 1t was
worked by Burns and Kelly Of
the old White Sox repeatedly in
the late SOS. LANCE and Dahlen
worked it for a later generation
of Chicago players, and it was
abandoned by Arson one day
after Bill Everitt popped up a
fly to the pitcher with the bases
full and no one out.

Warden B. Sims of the sta te
 prison at Florence was not in contempt of the supreme court of Arizona when on Novem Der 26, he refused to execute Wm. Faltin, the condemned murderer as had been ordered by that tribunal. While the court finds that MT. Sims overstepped some what his provinces in his failure to see that the man was hanged on the date set for execution, yet the court is inclined to be- lieve that he was acting in good faith and not with the intention of going against the order of the court.
 A shorter hunting season, a re duction of the bag limit and an increase in the license fees are among the provisions of new game law for which initiation petitions will shortly be placed in circulation. The new meas ure which is being drafted by state game warden Willard will reduce the limit on deer to one male each season and will short en the season on deer, turkey, doves, whitewings and quail. An increase in the resident license fee to S1 OO is contem- plated as is also a reduction. of the foreign license fee.-Bisbee Review.

 It will be to the advantage of the country for congress to adopt d comprehensive plan for putting the navy upon a final footing of strength and eff ciency.
 The gravest threats against our national peace and safety have been uttered within our own borders.
 It is necessary for many weighty reasons of national eff ciency and development that we should have a great merchant marine.
 It seems to me a clear dictate of prudent. stateSmanShip and frank finance that in what we are now to undertake we should pay as we go. We should be following an almost universal example of modern government if we were to draw the greater part or even the whole of the revenues we need from the in come taxes.
 We have been put to the test in the case of Mexico and we have stood the test. Whether we have benefited Mexico by the course we have pursued remains to be seen. Our concern for the independence and prosperity of the states of Central and South America is not altered.

OLD RJO MINING DISTRICT.
Great Future in Store for Big Cop
 per Camp.

Ajo, located about forty-five miles south of Gila Bend, Ariz :, and approximately southwest of Tucson, is one of the oldest min ing districts of North America and has been the scene of more or less mining activity since the time of the Spanish conquest. Within the past two years the Calumet and Arizona company, one of the largest mining oper- atorS in the state, acquired the Ajo properties, thoroughly ex- perime ented with the ore and ProeeIA beyond doubt$the great commercial value of the deposit. This resulted in the plans for a 4OOO ton daily capacity mill be ing designed, the construction of which is alone awaiting the completion of the branch from the Southern Pacific from Gila Bend, Ariz., to Ajo, and which is under contract to be finished by January 10, 1916.
 Opportunity never presented 9 more open field to the aggres- sive than will be presented here in the next few years where up- on untouched ground there will spring up a pOpulace estimated to reach 5000 people and with possibilities of many other pro- missing prospects and undevelop- ed resources being brought to 8 point of commercial advantage Sun.

Prospecting for Tungsten Mines.

The intense demand for the ores of tungsten during the past few months has stimulated much interest in prospecting for tunR- sten and in the purchase of tungsten mines. There is, how ever, as yet large thrilled de- mand for properties both in the prospecting and in developing stages showing ores of tungsten of sufficient value to work.
 During the past few weeks the Arizona State Bureau of Mines has had inquiry from re- sponsible pm chasers in the east desiring to purchase tungsten mines, and the bureau will be pleased to communicates the de- tails of any tungsten properties that may be called to it's atten- tion. The main object of the Bureau of mines is to stimulate the industry within the State, and one of the best methods of stimulation is the creation of new working properties.
 Arizona should be ready to pick the fruit when it is ripe, and the time is ripe for the sale of tungsten properties. Those having such properties for sale should communicate at once with Prof. Charles F. Willis, di- rector Arizona State Pufeaa of Mines, Tucson, Ariz.-Miner.
