ALTR0CK PULLS FADE
Team Gives Fans Chance to
Laugh by "Clever" Stunt.

Nick Altrock loves his little joke
Just like Iris Speaker likes his hits
when Tyrus is about 20 points in the
lead. The German started his daily
routine of coaching at third when the
National-Tiger game opened at Navin
field Saturday but the rain soon drove
him to the bench. Every once in a while
Nick would poke his head out of the
dugout and turn his weather eye on
the sky. AS the rain continued Alt
rock could stand 1t no longer, so gin
gerly picking his way from pool to
pool he approached the Detroit bench
When about ten feet from the home
cave he was inspired to give the fans
at least one good laugh for their
money. So running at full speed he
cast himself into the mire and water
and pulled a beautiful fade away to-
the steps. While soaked, he arose
laughing and the grandstand chirped
its only applause of the day.

GAMBLERS HURT GAME
Unsuccessful Efforts of Officials
to Eradicate Evil.
Betting at Yankee Games Fast Being
Stopped by Secretary Sparrow
Biggest Row of Season oc-
Cured al Boston.

Efforts on the part of major league
club owners and officials to stamp
out gambling on the games have been
successful failures in the face of OBJ
erations in several big league cities
this year.
The first big yelp that went up
against baseball gamblers came from
the Polo grounds, where the wncrs
of the Yankees received many pro-
tests. Finally, Harry Sparrow, secre-
tary of the club, took the matter in
his own hands and as a result the
ringleaders of the baseball book
makers were denied admittance to the
park. Sparrow was sought out by
politicians, it is said, who made am
attempt to have the bars lifted for "a
number of the men who were black
listed at the gate, but he remained
firm, and as a result gambling al the
Yankee games is fast being stopped.
The biggest row of the season in
which the gamblers figured was the
recent near-riot at Boston, when the
Red Sox were playing the Chicago
Sox. 1t is admitted by several Bos-
ton sport writer's hat the gamblers
were responsible for the crowd surg
ing on the field in an attempt to stop
the game, when rain temporarily in
terfered. President Frazee vas SO
thoroughly incensed over this Incl
dent that he hired a corps of private
detectives to spot the gamblers, and
action similar to that taken by Harry
Sparrow will be used by the Boston
club.
The gamblers have been getting
holder each season, and 1t is high
time the club owners got busy, for
gambling would soon do to baseball
what 1t did to racing years ago.

YOUNG PLAYER IS SoUELcHED
Rookie Who Had Made Sixth or Sew.
enth Straight Hit Gets Hard
Jolt From McCIoskey.

Years ago, when John McCloskey
was managing at st. Louis, a certain
young ball player started hitting the
ball fiercely. 1t was his first trip In
the majors and the fact elated him.
When he made his sixth or seventh
straight single he stalked back to the
bench and Topped himself near where
McCloskey was sitting.
swell, l stung that one, eh?" re-
marked the recruit. "Right on the old
beak, too. Let's see. how many straight
singles is that I've nader"
McCloskey eyed him sternly. "Young
fellow" he said finally, 'if you want
place on this bali club you have to
hand out a double or a triple once In a
while. These singles aren't enough"

Cy ~Falkenberg has gone back to the

SOME BIRDS AND THEIR PREY
Thrush Has Been Known to Use
Stone az Slaughter Block on
Which to Break Snail Shells.

In districts where shelled snails
are abundant 1t Is no rare thing to
come across a stone utilized as u
slaughter block by some particular
thrush. Even IL the bird Is not
caught In the act, numerous broken
and empty shells scattered In the
neighborhood betray the place where
the mollusks have been done to death.
The method adopted by the thrush
Is simply that of dropping a snail from
a height time and again until the shell
is broken and the succulent body
within is exposed to the captor's beak.
But the anvil Is sometimes made use
of In a different way. and with a diff
ferent end in view. In the depths
of a Highland birch wood an observer
came upon such a sacrificial stone. at
which a thrush was busily occupied.
Field glasses made evident that not a
snail but a common black slug was
his captive. This he grasped by the
middle with his beak. dashing 1t re-
peatedly with resounding smacks upon
the stone, whence It occasionally re-
bounded, only to be caught and ham,
mered nee more.
Subsequent examination of the
stone revealed with what effect the
operation had been carried out. But
what Of its purpose7 Here was no
shell to be broken. 1t may be thar
the thrush simply wished 20 kill Its
prey. but the fact that thrushes swal-

able. 1t Is more likely that the skin

Civil war, the vast number OF com
batants engaged In the great battles
Of today has resulted In the loss of
many tens of thousands of arms and
legs. No official figures have been
made public for any of the b~elligerent
nations, but II is estimated that at
least 175.000 soldiers have recovered
from their wounds minus at least a
leg or an arm. While the various
trades Of war are all doing a booming
business some Of the collateral indus
tries designed to overcome or anchor
ate the havoc wrought by war are
equally busy. Not the least interest
Ing of these Is the manufacturing OF
artificial legs and arms.
or the hundred or more American
artificial limb factories everyone has
been surfeited with orders, some large
ones having been placed by the Eng
lish and French governments while
many private orders have been re-
ceived from soldiers themselves.
Large shipments are continually being
made abroad. the British blockade of

1t Is somewhat Of a. coincidence that
the crippled soldiers of France should
depend for their best artificial limbs

about the first step toward modern
