BY BURTON HAWKINS,


DETROIT, July 19.-On the fringe
of baseball's select 300 set for the
first time in some weeks, the Mats
plump, Wavy haired Taft Wright
today was fodder for conversation.
Taft is swatting at a remarkable
clip, and the waddling outflelder
may provide the spark to pace the
Mats to few victories.
Constructed with all the stream
lined beauty of an ancient beer keg,
the rotund Wright hasn't been as
founding audiences with any field
ing finesse this season, nor is he
likely to. With a bat in his hands,
however, he scraWls a more inter-
esting yarn.
There are lingering doubts if
Wright wins as many games with
his hitting as he loses with his field
ing. He has flecked the head of
Manager Bucky Harris with gray
on occasions when his crude capers
in the outfleld have been hard to
take. But he also has provided the
Mats with some exhilarating mo-
ments with his vicious humping.
Now hitting at .299 pace for the
season as the result of slamming
at sensational .435 clip in his last
10 games, Wright is pressing the
league leaders in the matter of driv-
ing in runs. He has whacked across
63, and one-third of his 80 safeties
have been for extra bases.
Slams Five Straight Hits.
Wright entered today's game with
the Tigers with a string of five con-
secutive hits. He blasted three dou-
bles and brace of singles yesterday
as the Mats captured a 1912 tri-
umph to fracture a three-game los
ing streak, but equally encouraging
was the improved pitching of loop
legged Joe Krakauskas.
1t was Krakauskas who limited the
Tigers to six hits, half of which
failed to filter through the infield,
silencing the explosives in a rather
rugged lineup with one hit in the
first five innings 1t marked an
other stepping stone in Krakkys
ambition to complete the season
with a creditable record despite a
miserable start.
The fiery Lithuanian has un-
leashed some potent pitching in an
effort to fulfill that aim. In his
last 25 innings of labor he has
allowed only l6 hits. and his last
three starts have been gratifying.
He yielded six hits in spanking the
Athletics, and was whipping St.
Louis, 81, when the terrific heat
forced him to retire.
Meanwhile, the Mats are bemoan-
ing the loss of Catcher Rick Ferrell,
incapacitated for at least 10 days
due to torn flngernail on the
thumb of his right hand Rick
was nipped by foul tip off the bat
of the Tigers Birdie Tebbetts in
the fourth inning.
Rescued from a temporary trip
to the minors was Catcher Jake
Early. Rushing for telephone i'm

HELSINKI-There a reason for
the queer shape of the proposed
marathon course the Firms now are
considering for 1910.
If it's adopted the marathoners
will lope five times around a mar
row circuit only about S miles long
that meanders through the wooded
valleys north of the stadium like
the stream from a bottle of over
turned ink.
It's advantage over the customary
wide circle or one long lap is the
multiple view which would be af-
forded.
AS many as 100000 spectators, it
is estimated, could find vantage
spots on the hillsides along the
course, commanding, in most in
stances, a five-fold view of the run
ners at 10 or II different points.
Thus the disappointment of the
thousands of Firms who will not
be able to get into the diminutive
stadium for the other events would
be alleviated by a good eyeful of
! one of the most popular COMPETE
tions in Finland.
Most of them, in fact. would pre-
fer this to being part OF the $4,000
in the stadium who will see only
the start and finish. Epecially since
loudspeakers along the route would
keep them posted on what else
is happening meanwhile in the
stadium.
Easy on Runners.
The proposed course, according
to its advocates, would be advan-
tageous for the runners. too.
They would avoid the eyestrain
and monotony of a less winding
course, while at the same time
would have to negotiate only one
sharp corner.
The wind would not be strong
enough to bother, there should be
a refreshing breeze in at least three
or four glades along the way. and
a good half of the road would be
in shadow at the time of the race
There would be no long, high
hills. the only one worth mention
ing being only 40 feet high, with
both ascent and descent graduated
over more than half mile.
This. with the easy surface of the
country road built for light traffic,
should make for a high standard
of running (although experts do not
believe the course will be as fast as
that in Berlin.
Rough on Newsmen.
The Firms, veteran marathon
winners, would enjoy no special
edge, they say, since the shortness
of the course would enable foreign
competitors to memorize it easily
in a short time.
In short, its proponents can see
only one disadvantage to this wan
dering route, which, they suggest,
more nearly approximates the orgi-
nal course from Marathan to
Athens. 1t would be a regular OBJ
stacle race for the neWspapermen
and photographers.
The runners could be followed in
cars at only one stretch less than
2 miles long and there would be
only two crossroads along the way
accessible to automobiles.
