One by one the great sluggers who
have blazed a trail of hits across the
baseball horizon for the last ten or
fifteen years are passing along.
Filters like Hans Wagner and Sam
Crawford, for instance, are few and
far between these days, but there are
still few Of the veteran larrupers fac
Ing major league pitchers today, and
one Of the most picturesque Of the lot
is Cactus" Cravath.
The "Old Cactus" has been playing
ball actively for sixteen years, and the
ravages of time have long since begun
to show, for Cravath's legs today re-
fuse to carry him around the gardens
as they once did, and there are a few
sprinkles of silver on his temples.
Cravath 81 Years Old.
But although Cravath is thirty-seven
years of age--having celebrated his
thirty-seventh birthday last March--he
still ranks as demon at the bat. TAX
ing toe hold and swinging from the
hip is just as natural to Cravath as 1t
ever was. And National League pitch
ers tell you that his eye has not been
dimmed to any extent by the suns Of
1B summers.
Making four hits out of five times
at bat is feat often accomplished in

ROSE INTO DESERVED FAME
Mystic Painter OF Lithuania Accorded
His Proper Place In the World
of Art.

What Scriabine attempted to do with
music in Russia, Curlionis has done
with paint in Lithuania. M. X. Cur
lionis is the great mystic painter Of
Lithuania, that little nation which is
calling out to the world It's right to ma
tional independence.
Curlionis made painting depict mt
sic, Scriabine attempted to unite color
and sound through the medium of mu-
sic.
Curlionis studied in Dresden and in
Leipzig. With an almost incredible
sense Of variety, he showed himself to
be remarkable and an original com
poser. His most conspicuous works
were REX "Conte" and the Sonata
of Beethoven"
} In the words of the well-known
American musical critic, Gilbert w.
Gabriel, this painter succeeds where
others have failed, In conveying the
righteousness Unlimited in music, the
unmindful ecstasy of its imaginings !;
yet he has made art of it, notable pre-
poss, red art, sternly beautiful. XII
netic art, of course, and madly swift
to convey titanic impressions; but
such is the modern school, and Paris
knows Curlionis as one Of its fore
most moderns."

Charles B. Ford, the leader of tho
Chicago butter and egg board, was de-
Tending the high price Of eggs.
"It is the egg export to the soldiers
overseas" he said, "that makes prices
high. The egg market, you see, is
governed by a purely business spirit.
''If you try TO be idealistic with the
egg market you are treated like Doc

DIsLIKES 16-PLAYER LINZ
on Account of Numerous Injuries to
Men on His Team Manager Herr
Wants an Increase.

Eddie Herr Of the Salt Lake Bees is
one manager who absolutely does not
believe in the 16-player limit. Eddie
has had several cripples on his team
during the past few weeks, and has
been handicapped in that respect so
badly that ne is overanxious to see an
increase in the player limit. AT the
present time the Bees are in rather
crippled condition. and Eddie claims
that, with the great attendance going
on, there must be real playing as a
return to the fans for their generosity
in turning out to the games. Eddie
says that the leagne is drawing big
enough crowds to lift the ban.

when they slaughter him and win a
game In which they did not seem to

jim SHAW EQyALED RECORD
Slammed Homers OFF Pitchers SeiboId
and Kinney of Athletics In
Successive Innings.

When Jim Shaw of Washington, on
May 2, slammed homers off Seibold
and Kinney Of the Athletics, in sue
cessive innings, Jim eQualed a major
league record that has stood since
June 80, 1912, for on this latter date,
Ed Willett, the Tigers star hurler Of
long ago. while pitching for Detroit,
slammed single and pair of round
trips off Mogridge and Jordan, the
White Sox hurlers. A delve through
the National league for 10 years back
failed to show a hurler that eQualed
this stunt.

baseball, yet not by one player. Graz
vath, in his many years of slaughtering
the offerings of pitchers, has registered
four hits In one day many times. In
the opening series between the Giants
and Phillies he added another such
performance to his long list, and two
of the four hits he made In the second
game against McGrawmen were dou-
bles.
Ruth ls Hard Hitter.
Babe Ruth is tremendously hard
hitter, but capable as he is with the
bludgeon, he will probably never be
able to rank as the consistent day-fn-
and-day-out slugger Cravath has been,
Crawford and Wagner were hitters OF
the Cravath type, or vice versa. Jake
Daubert, when at his best, was also a
hitter of this select type.
1t is a pleasure to pay tribute to
a player like the "Old Cactus" His
weatherbeaten hide Is impervious to
the criticisms that have been showered
on his head by writer's during the last
two or three yeaYs-kind criticism,
sure enough-but the kind that carries
predictions which tell fandom that a
player Is through-and Cravath isn't
through yet.

! BASEBALL GAME PAYS

Baseball proved a financial
success at the University of Vir-

the limited schedule, due to the
fact that none of the big college
teams of the East came South

just made public by Manager J.
N. Greear, shows a net profit
for the entire season Of $2,421.07.
