ALEXANDER'S LOW BALL REASON
FOR HIS GREATNESS, SAYS COBB
By GRANTLAND RICE
Ty Cobb Says
"The most effective pitching In the game
Is the kind that carries control of a low
ball. A pitcher with only ordinary stuff
who has low-ball control Is almost sure
to be effective. This Is the chief feature
of Alexander's success. He can put that
fast one around the knees, over the In
side or outside corner better than any
man In the game, and with the stuff ho
hns It Is almost Impossible to hit him
safely. A splt-ballcr who can break his
curve well below the waist Is next to un
hlttable." Another Itccord
Reference to Cobb brings to mind nn
other record this estimable young athleto
has set for Ty Is still shy his 29th year.
In 1911. while he batted .420 nnd scored
118 runs, he drew but 37 passes. This
season, with over 80 games left to play,
Tie has already nrrlvcd at Arst over 2M
times which accounts for his remark
able record in runs and steals.
For while he drew but 37 passes In 1311,
1915 Ands him with 70 free trips to Arst,
and the campaign only three-Afths over.
In addition to his arrivals at Arst by
base hits and bases on balls, he has also
landed there 30 times via the error route.
This makes a' total of 230 arrivals at
Arst base before August By October he
expects to have pattered down to Arst at
leaSt 400 times a record never approached
In tho EO-year history of the sport. For
this will mean arriving safoly at Arst
base over twice a game for a run of 151
contests.
Several ecstatic fanatics have written
in to request that we don't give Cobb so
much space. But what the ballyel are
you going to do with a guy who Is smash
ing three or four records nt one and the
same time?
Stallings' Dope
When the Braves started West they
still had 60 games left before the end of
the campaign. Of these 60 games Stall
ings expected to win GO, against 18 de
feats. In case his dope pans out the
World Champs would end the season
wlt'n 94 victories, exactly the number
required last year by the same club.
While StalllnSs' computation sounds a
trlAe steep, the Braves moved nt the
samo pace tHrough the last two' months
of the 1914 campaign, and once under
headway no assignment seems to be
beyond the limits of that club.

OF LEE FOHIS MAINSTAYS
Colonel Hurry-Up Yost wasn't very far
from being correct when he announced
that "a Ane offense Is a great defense."
Aa long as you aro pounding the other
bloke he hasn't any vast amount ot time
left to come bounding back.
Another East-West Debate
Western athletes are planning another
strong defense against the Eastern in
vasion at the track and Aeld champion
ship scheduled for the Arst week of
August. Heretofore the East has main
tained a fair supremacy at this sportlvo
diversion, but the West Is launching Its
supreme effort for the coming occasion
having mobilized the finest output., ot
talent ever developed beyond the Alle
gheny Itange.
Another Protest
Seven National League cluba aro plan
ning to protest to Governor Tener that
they will henceforth consider the pitch
ing of Alexander against them a "de
liberately unfriendly act."
The Governor will consider tho charge
some time after October.
Always at the Ball
Sir I see whero many Englishmen aro
practicing golf, shots back of their trench
ilne. Now In case a golfer starts his
swing at the same moment a big shell
drops from directly overhead which
should ono ddj-keep his eye on the ball or
on the falling shell; PLATO FETE.
"How sleep the Braves who sink to
rest," sang Mr. Collins William, not!
Eddie. He should have written a sequel
entitled: "How wako the Braves from
their long sleep."
1914 Over Again
The Braves were lasl at one stage of
July this season, Just as they were a year
ago. And Just as thoy did a year ago,
they have now started one of the great
est upward drives ever witnessed in the
game.
Tho Braves smashed a record last sea
son, when they came from the bottom In
July to a world's championship In Octo
ber. If they repeat this trick the double
upheaval will probably stand forever aa
the record recovery of baseball. They
came at a lively clip a year ago, but even
that tremendous effort was something
short of the smashing pace they have set
In the last three weeks, when they have
cut through the contending Aeld almost
without a check. And Just as they came
to the front last season, so this season
they have risen upon the best pitching of
the year In either league. It, has been a
great thing for the old N. II that Evers
was crippled back in April, and that Ru
dolph, James and Tyler failed to round
Into form before June. Otherwise, the
National League race today would be
ended with a two months' languor Inter
vening before the Arst world series gamej
Mathewson said ono day last fall that
he regarded LMck Budolph as one of the
great pitchers of the game. Taking Up
the work he has done for two season
after reaching primo condition, Mr.
Itudolph'a place Is well Axed within the
Metheweon estimate If not even higher

CLEVELAND INDIANS
HERE TO PLAY MACKS;
KN0WLT0N TO PITCH
Morton or Willie Mitchell
Mound Choice for Fold's
Pets, Who Are Setting
Fast Clip in Last Two
Weeks. .
Knowlson, the recruit pitcher from the
Hldgeway team of this, State, Is due to
face the Cleveland Indians In the Arst
game of the series this afternoon.
Knowlson has pitched several games for
the Athletics and Is 6. highly touted
youngster". He made a particularly im
pressive debut In New York and pitched
well- In two games in the West.
Manager Fohl Is undecided as to hla
pitcher. Ho says that he has made a
practice of warming up two pitchers be
tors each game, deciding upon the one
who looks to be In better trim. Today
tiny Morton, tho American League pitch
ing sensation, and Willie Mitchell, the
clever southpaw, will do the warming
up act, with chances favoring Morton
going to tho moUnd.
While the Naps are. In this city. Fohl
says he will work. Sam Jones, the big
right-hander from Jack Knight's Cleve
land American Association Club, and the
new leader of the Indians declares that
thla lad Is going to be one of the star
Alngers of the league In another year.
Fohl'n specialty has been the develop
ment of pitchers and the fans will watch
the work of Jones with Interest.
Cleveland has won eight of the last
10 games played and has found tho Ath
letics particularly easy. Five straight
victories were registered over the Mack
men In Cleveland, but Mack says there
will be a different story to tell In this
series.

Barnes Playing Great Game Teaching the ittddtes How
to PlayWhat That Little "C. E." Meant.
Ons summer day, about 1M years ago,
little oeorge Washington and severs!
other boys of the rielgnbofhOod, were
Playing a golf tournament at' Mount
Vernon. A prjse was offered by 'J?a"
Washington.
Llttlo Oeorge, being very cOony, waited
till alt the boys had turned In their
scores before he teed off. Ha went around
all alone. Little George was very accur
ate. It being said that he could throw
stones much swifter and better than tho
other little boys. In the samo way. he
was some golfer. He played with a solid
rubber ball not much used In thoso days.
When he came in he handed his father
a score of IS for the nine holes.
All tho other little boys at ones raised
n. holler, crying out that little Oeorge
had been dishonest and had mads mors
strokes than he hsd actually set down.
"Pa" Washington could not belleva
this to be tmo but put the nutter up to
little Oeorge.
"My son, my son," aald the parent
sternly looking at tho card, "I will be
lieve you when you say you got three
'ones' for the Arst three holes and four
'twos after that, but how can you say
you have made the last two holes each
li but half a stroke7"
Before the reproving eye of his parent.
Little Oeorge twisted his hands and was
quite ready to burst Into tsars. At last
he spoke.
"Father," said George, "Father, I can
not tell a lie. I did it with m little
hatchet. I broke my nlbllo on tha sev
enth and had no other Iron but my
hatchet. When I hit the ball It split In
two. Ono piece went Into the eighth hole
and tho other went Into the ninth."
"That's right, my aon. Always tall the
truth," said the parent and he bent and
kissed little George on tho brow.
James M. Barnes, In whom this city
places her best hopes ot keeping the Phil
adelphia open title as a local trophy, has

and start right. If your form starts right
It'll stay right. Tho little fellows are hot
on the game and soma ot them ore sure
comers. We'll havo a tournament for
thorn later. One little nipper came to me
the other day and wanted extra lessons
during the week. He said he couldn't

The owner of the Initials Is called
"Charles" by his family, but all those
that know him ' real well cU him
