TYRUS COBB PLAYS AT GOLF |
———
Diamond King Has Unique System of
Driving Ball—Catches Sphere
With Face of His Club,
Tyrus Cobb, the king of ball players,
has become a strong golf enthusiast.
Ty has perfected a new system of
driving a golf ball. Instead of teeing
it up on a little mound of sand, gluing
his eye on it and swatting it, Tyrus
prefers to have his caddy pitch the
ball to him in such a way that it sails
along very close
strikes the grounds in front
and bounces up an inch or so.
The first and final rule for every
other golfer in the world except Tyrus
Cobb Is to keep the eve on the ball
But Tyrus, having gotten his prelim
inary golf training in the American
league, where all pitchers look more
or less alike to his batting timber, is
not accustomed to keeping his eve on
the ball. As he says a ball player at
tha bat doesn't keep his eye on the
ball-or even try That Is. kee
his eve on the ball is not the thing
enables him to connect
‘A man hits a baseball by instinct,”
savs Tyrus. “He sees the ball leave
the pitcher, of course. But he doean't
try to keep his eye on it right u
moment of hitting it If he did,
ting average would be minus
thereabouts. A man hits by
