He will continue to play tight field and slug the ball just like an ordinary player and at the fame time Mdeavor to lift the home folks out of the dismal swamp. lie has a tough job on his hands, but that's what Oavvy likes. He lias been battling for recognition as long as he can remember and his life has been a series of ups and dowu, with an average of a dozen downs to every up. iSiitecn years ago Cravath stepped into baseball anil joined the ,o Angeles club. After five seasons down there the lied Sot purchased him and (Snvry was given a chance to make good in the majors. He was tcnty-M jents old then, and a rookie at twenty-six is considered a tough old bird. Most of the players are sliding down the slippery skids at that age. However. I'ravath showed some form, batting ,2."tJ in ninety-four games. This was not consid ered good enough for John I. Taj lor and the owner of the Red So decided to five him the gate. C'omiskey refused to waive, so (Jnvvy wis' signed by the "White Sox in 100S. In ten games the westerner did not hit the size of his handkerchief nnd Comlskey shunted him off to Washington. There he performed miserablj . hitting .164 in twenty-two games, and it was with a sigh of relief that he was told to Minneapolis to become a member of .Joe Cnutillon's Old Mnu's Home. That was Cravath's first experience in the major leagues. He wa fired off three clubs and at the age of twenty-nine labeled a has-been. No one ever expected to see him come up again, but he fooled them all. H G r E STARTED to soak home runs, pile up enormous hailing aver ages, anil Horace Fogel, then president nf the Phils, purchased him for the modest sum of i'lOOO. That investment has paid more than 1000 per cent. Gavvy Hit Many Costly Homers AWT CRAVATH is a fighter. lie never quits. Instead of laying down and spending the remainder of his days in that baseball boneyard he played all the harder, corrected his mistakes and forced the big magnates to recognize him. Stnrting in 1000 he hit .liOO; in 1010. .li'.'fl. nnd in 1!11 . .ttftt. In his last year in Minneapolis, Cravath hung up the greatest long-distance hitting record ever made in baseball. Irfl07 games he scored 147 runs and made 221 hits. His bingles included .fifty-three doubles, thirteen triples and twenty-nine home runs. He also stole thirty-three bases, which was very good for n guy considered slow. Gavvy found the range of the left field fence in Minneapolis nnd drove many homers over that barrier. He hit the ball so hard thnt when it cleared the fence' it bounded on several occasions across the street nnd through a plate -glass window of a tailor shop. Knch time the window was broken Joe Cnn tiilon had to pay J?o0 for a new glass, und after half a dozen payments Cra vath was told he would be fined the next time he drove the ball over the fence.. The club couldn't stand the financial strain. r, Cravath was thirty years old when he came to the Phillies. I'ven then he as considered entirely too ancient to be of any use except as a pinch hitter, and it took him a long time to win n regular berth. He finished forty-ninth in league bitting, with an average of .2S4. He rapped out thirty doubles, niue triples and eleven homers. Charley Dooin decided he needed more speed in the outfield when the 1013 reason opened, so Gavvy was benched and Cozy Dolan cavorted in right field. Cozy played about a dozen games, but lost his job one day when the New Xork Giants were here. Chris Mathewson was pitching and had a nice lead when the eighth inning started. A few of the boyB got ou base nnd Cravath was sent in as a pinch hitter. All he did was to drive the ball over the right field .wall, winning the game. The next day he ruined Rube Mnrquard when he walloped a homer into the left field bleachers, winning another conflict. Gavvy has been a regular ever siuce nnd always delivered the goods. He soon became famous as a home-run hitter, hitting eleven in lltt'J, nineteen in 1913, nineteen iu 1014, twenty -four in 101.", a modern lengne record: eleven ln'lffj.6, tyvelve in 1017 nnd eight in 1018. This year he has hit eight circuit ClouU to date. fHIS is a hrief outline of the career nf the areata! slungri the name ,'tAhas known. He is not through yet. lor at the age of thirty- rt en ?,"?'(" hitting better than out "ion in either league. Cravath Brainiest Player in National League FIB seldom that a man who has done so much for a ball club as Cravath is .rewarded by being made manager. Stars seldom are appreciated ami are allowed to finish their years of usefulness on the ball field only to be uncondi- tlonally released or sent to a minor league club at the end. Cravath is near ln the end of his usefulness, and it speaks well for the fairness of William F. Baker that the reward came before it was too late. ' Cravath never has been considered a star, although he has been one of the greatest drawing cards in the league for years. He never boasts about his ability. He will admit he is not the best outfielder in the world, docs not shiuc on the base paths and his hitting is nothing to rave about, but records dis prove it. Ho is the brainiest player in the National League and knows baseball Inside out. He always throws to the right base and has prevented many scores, 'ftlflurthermore, he never has been a holdout nor has he made trouble on a baffxlub. Strange as it may seem, he wrote out his own contract ever siuce joining the Phila, and neither side was stung. For the last three years he started the season as a pinch hitter and utility outfielder, but was too good to hold the job. When his successors llivved he would amble out to right field and remain until the next year. 1 He was prepared for a life of case and comfort this season when Leo Callahan was obtained to take his job, but one day against the New York Giants he whaled the ball something scandalous, won the game and couldn't be spared from the line-up. Gavvy seems to improve with age. but it is be cause he has his heart and soul in the game, always gives his best and does not know the meaning of the word quit.

DEMPSEY REFUSES OFFER Champion Will Not Go to Europe for Bout With Carpentler Jack Dempsey will not go to Europe to box Georges Carpentler, according to messages received today from Jack Kenrns, his manager. A large offer lias been received, it was said, but will not be accepted. Kearus stated Dempsey will leave in a few days for Salt Lake City where he will visit his mother. He now is in Cincinnati. Returning east the cham pion will join a circus. ARRANGE POST SERIES have been the only lightweight head liners ho has not engaged.

If Greb pulN a Dempsey nnd stops i'.evinsky on Monday night his chances will be bright. Defl to Dempsey The following letter was received' yesterday from Janies M. (Ueddy) Ma son, manager of Greb : Pittsburgh, July 7. "We just got back from Tulsa, where rennnn ; and, while it was n great light, Greb beat Brcnnnn nil the way. Brcnnnn was in great shape and took u good beating ; much worse, in fact, thnu Willard did with Dempsey at Toledo. "Harry is ready for Levinsky. I also received another offer for Greb to box Jamaica Kid, Dempsey's sparring part ner, in your city. I wish to' state that Greb will meet that other dark-skinned fellow that was trained by the Jamaica Kid. I mean Jack Dempsey. "Wo arc open for engagements any time with that wonderful puncher, who, I according to his own gang, hit Jess sev enty-seven times, nnd then the circus man had to toss in the towel ns n token nf defeat. Any time Dempsey wants a light with Greb he can have it, nnd he will find that it won't be with a jelly fish like Willard. ,"Greb gave away thirty-live pounds to Brcnnnn. That's almost ns much ns Dempsey gave away to Willard. But, take it from me, we're ready for Demp-sey." Lew Grunson, of Philadelphia, will make his debut ns a referee in nn At lantic City ring.

COBB, THORPE, GANS ONL Y SUPERSTARS OF LAST TEN YEARS This Trio Stands Out as the Only "Everything" Boys in Realm of Sports Capable of Performing Brilliantly in All Departments IN THE SPORTLIGHT BY GRAKTLAKD RICE Copyright, 1918. All right reserved The "Everything" Boys ONCE in a rare while some section of the game develops an entry who' Is blessed with everything there Is in his particular branch of sport. Once In a rare while is breaking it too gently. Iu the long nnd winding lane of sport you probably could count the entire list upon the fingers of one grimy paw. 7IIESE super-stars pop out once in tico or three generations. Hardly that often. But chen they arrive they leave no room for further argument. In Football FOOTBALL, for one example, has known but one "everything" athlete. Ted Coy could bit a line and Ted could tackle nnd kick. Willie Heston could hit n line nnd Willie wns n pink flash In a broken field. But the only "everything" stnr of football wns Jim Thorpe. Thorpe could hit a line and run an end. Thorpe could tackle nnd block. He could punt and drop-kick and place. He wns n star at the. forward passing game. Ther wnsn't anything he couldn't do with a football. He was a specialist at many things and a stnr nt all. TIE HAD a keen football instinct and he was as durable as steel. If he had a iccakncss it was never known. So Thorpe stands alone in this field of endeavor, tcilh no one else upon the same plateau. In Boxing WE ASKED Bnt Nelson who the greatest lightweight wns that ever lived. We had a subtle liunch'that the Battler would very likely say Mr. Nelson nnd not be very far wrong. He spoke as if there was no argument to be thought of. "Joe Gans," he replied. " hen he was right there was no one close. At the recent fistic carnival in Toledo this was one, subject that produced no argument. Nearly everything clse.dld. It was gradually agreed that Joa Gans was one of the "everything" boys. He was quick nnd strong, wiry and clever; he could block and hit, counter, duck, jab, hook, wallop, uppercut anything you wanted. He outclassed in cleverness either Pncky McFnrland or Jimmy Britt. And he could outhit any lightweight on the docket with the possible exception of Herrcra, the Mexican. JJE HAD everything any time he wasn't cooked by some Ali Baba on the managerial staff. He was the first of the Old Masters. In Baseball TT COBB is the "everything" boy of baseball attack. He Is the master marvel of the game's offense. But he was never the all-around star that Thorpe was to football. t There nre too many varieties of jobs in baseball for any one man to cover them nil ns Thorpe covered football. Cobb, for example, was never n pitcher. He isn't the all-around man that George Sislcr is, Sislcr having starred in the box, the infield and the outfield as well ns nt bat. But Sislcr Isn't close to Cobb ns nn offensive' stnr. Neither is nny one else. TO LEAD a league eleven out of twelve years at bat, and in that period to steal more bases and score more runs than any other man, is answer enough. Some Weakness AS A rule there is always some weakness to break up the all-around reign. In golf, Vnrdon and Evans arc erratic with th,e putter. Travcrs is erratle with the wood. Walter J. Travis had virtually no weakness fifteen or sixteen 'years ago when he won the British and the American amateur championships. TUIcTiOUGHIjiy and If orris TPilh'nmj both had great power in eer I'a tain parts of tennis play, with a decline in other strokes. Rare Birds THE Thorpes, the Ganses and the Cobbs are rare birds. It Is very likely that past and faded generations hnve had their counterparts, but In a single lifetime you see only the two or three from all the sports there are. But the greatest nll-nrounder of them all was Jim Thorpe Number One la football for all-around value. Good enough at baseball to make a big league team. And good enough in track and field sports to win the all-around champion ship of an Olympic meet. JAWN McGRAW TO PROTEST Says Reds and Pirates Should Have Played Nine Innings New York, July 0. Manager John J. McGrnw, of the Giants, announced yesterday that he will protest the sec ond game played by the Pittsburgh and Cincinnati tenms at Cincinnati last Sunday. The game was won by Cincin nati by a 2 to 1 score. Only six innings were played, the contest being called to allow the Reds to catch a train. McGraw's protest is based on the calling of the game before nine inn ings hnd been played. According to tho rules, a game can be slortcned only when absolutely necessary to make train connections. McGraw claims that a later train could have been taken, allowing the teams to play a full game. THIS closes out tho argument, no one else in sight. The Indian stands all alone, with AMATEUR BASEBALL NOTES flrst-claHu travfllnff John Sawyer. 171 SCRAPS ABOUT SCRAPPERS WMtlnciM.pawZ i p.tfock to the playen, who threatened to strike f ''i(int4 tijj&Jlit befmt yesterday's pemt Vpomls, ioicerer, flsM.
