DEvlNE SEES DANGER IN
PRESENT CONDITION OF
THE COUNTY JAIL

Ogden, Feb. 24.-As a result of
recent discovery that prisoners had
planned a wholesale delivery, Sheriff
T. A. Devine will again call the at.
tention Of the county commissioners
to the condition Of the county jail {.
Because the masonry wall across
the east end Of the Jail is in such a
condition that 1t cannot withstand
more than a few hours work on the
part OF prisoner. the sheriff has
requested that steel wall be erect.
cd on the inside. The commissioners
have taken no action toward safe.
guarding the weak wall.
According to Sheriff DeVine and
his deputies, 1t is unsafe to leave one
or more prisoners outside Of the cell
house more than one hour at time :.
About onehalf Of the prisoners were
out In the main corridor from $3.50
o'clock til 6 o'clock last evening. In
that short time Frank Smith and
Jack Smith had dug hole large
enough to insert an arm about ten
inches into the wall. The only i'm
plements used were pieces Of brok.
en- bicycle wrench. To allay discov.
cry Of the hole, the masonry remov-
ed from the opening was deposited
on top OF the cell house or tank.

Cobb may report during the closing
days, but il will not be surprising II
he does not. lie seemed convinced last
fall that he trained too hard IN the
South a year ago, and had decided 10
cOnine his conditioning 10 4 few days

tceably heavier since the 1914 season
and takes on more flesh during the
winter than he formerly did, he felt
that he was stale last September.
The Detroit team may open the 1916
PLAYING season with veteran lineup.
Il il quite Penerally conceded that
there are only two positions TO be
fought for namely, right held and
first base. Crawford slowed UP notice
ably in his fielding last year, although
he hit well in streaks, and Burns, the
regular first baseman, did not recover
completely from an operation for ap-
pendicitis during the training season.
The odds are IN favor OF the veterans
retaining their positions, however, as
it is felt that Harry Heilman is the
only younGster who can replace either.
Incidentally, Heilman, who hit more
than 800 with San Francisco last year,
has played right field and first base.
II Crawford should be forced 10 bow
70 Father Time he would have nothing
10 worry about. His contract, quite
generally believed 20 call for a salary
of s. 800 q year. is OF the so-called
ironclsd kind and does not expire until
the end OF the 1917 season. When he
returned TO New York from the trip
around the world with the Chicago
White SOx, two years ago, he was met
at the dock by Federal League mag
mates. He was offered a big salary in
crease if he would join their ranks, IL
has been said
"I'll talk business with you-sfter |
see Mr.. Navin. president of the Detroit
club" Crawford told them, according
to one version OF the story.
He breakfasted with Navin and later
attached his signature TO q four-year
contract
Crawford Is considered one Of the
most popular players who has ever
donned a Detroit uniform. His screech-
ing drives 10 the right field bleachers
and into and over them have made much
local history. He always has been known
az q steady. quiet. unassuming player,
and his passing from the lair OF the
Tigers, which may not be for several
years, will probably cause as much gen
uino regret as did the passing OF an
