COBB NOT FORCED TO COMPLY WITH THERULES "HE MEXICAN MARVEL," BY VAN LO
UMPIRES DO NOT COMPEL COBB
TO LIVE UP TO PLAYING STATUTES
Tyrus Steps Out of the Batter's Box Every Time He Takes Swing
at a Pitched BaltWvckoff Doing Good Work for
the Maokmen,
It Is tlmo.that the American League umpires enforced the rules and keep
y Cobb In the batter's box. Two years ago Manager Mack complained that
Cobb stepped out of the box every time he swung at a pitch, and Umpire
Tommy Connolly forced tho Georgian to stay In the box for an entire series.
Irt this series Cobb mode but one hit in four games. It seems as though tho
umpires havo forgotten all about this Incident, because Cobb Is not only step
ping out of tho box overy time he swings, but he Is also from four to nix Inches
too close to the plate when he stands In position.
Taking adVfntagc of little things of this sort Is what has made Cobb such
wonderful hitter; and whllo the spectators lovo to see Ty hit, ho should not
be allowed any such unfair advantage as ho Is enjoying at tho present time.
When a batter gels so far In front of the plate that ho steps out of tho box a
foot when he swings, It Is practically Impossible fn n nit-w - - " "-
ball wltjh good effect, as tho batsman Is up bo far that he gets the ball boforo
H breaks, A curve ball Is not delivered with nearly so much speed as a fast
bull, and la aa caev to hit On a atrnleht slow ball before It breaks. That la
why the box la marked off nt tho plate.
Hitters like Delehanty, keolcr, Kelly, Anson and Wagner had a habit of
stepping up In front of the box, and Delehanty ofton took throo steps and had
both feot In front of the box when he called tho .turn on a curvo ball. That
accounted In a largo measure for the large percentages carried by those playors
year after year, until tho rules were changed and enforced.
It Cobb Is bigger than tho league, let him got away with It. If ho Is not,
Why not see that ho is prevented from breaking tho rules, when ovory umplro
In the league knows that he docs It every time thero la a right-handed pitcher
facln tho Tigers? With a southpaw on tho mound Cobb keeps back, becauso
bo fears being "beaned."
Wyckoff Pitching Great Ball for Athletics
Yesterday's game between tho Athletics and Detroit was another great
pitcher' battle, with Weldon Wyckoff on the short end this tlmo. Wyckoff
deserved a victory, but owes his defeat to his own lack of control. Twopassos,
Issued to Dubuo and Bush, helped to nil the bases, with ono man out, and Sam
Crawford supplied a sacrifice fly, which scored Dubuo with tho only run of
the game.
Wyckoff shut out tho Indians on Saturday, allowing only two hits, ono of
which was a scratch, and yesterday tho slugging Tigers could make only three
hits, ono of which should havo boon fielded. Two better-pitched games of ball
py ono- pltoher havo not been seen In successive games In tho American Lcaguo
this season, and tho ability of tho WUHamsport lad to stand being worked out of
turn proves conclusively that Mack has a real "Iron man" as tho foundation for
the pitching staff of tho new machine.
Detroit's heaviest hitters, barring Veach, woro pulling badly at tho plato
and did not oven offer tho Mackmen many hard chances In the field. Whllo
WyckofTs work was high-class, It was no better than that of Dubuc. The Mack
men obtained ono more hit off Dubuc, but he was steady with men on bases
and seemed to bo In the form that made him tho Bcnsatton of tho American
League In 1913.

THE MEXICAN MARVEL
Hits Ball Too Uard; Whole League Protests
Havo you ever heard of a player who hits tho ball bo hard that ho la not
wanted In a lcaguo, and unless ho Is declared Ineligible tho league will disband?
A local boy Is in that predicament In the South at the present time. Carl
Hitting, formerly of Northeast High and who played Independent ball In this city,
Is tho young man who has this distinction.
Bitting was with tho Charleston club of the South Atlantic League until tho
veason ended, ten days ago. Immediately after tho last game Bitting was signed
to play with the Lenglr club of tho Western North Carolina Association. Tho
Morgantown team of this league had offered Frank Baker a contract, and Lenoir
considered it proper to "pad up" a bit, also. Bitting started ,off with two home
runs And a triple in hU first game, and followed this up with two homers and a
single In tho second game. That was too much for tho Statcsvllle and Qastonla
teams, which had been beaten by these drives, and they decided that they would
drop out of the league If Bitting was allowed to continue with Lenoir.
Tho leaguo Is to meet next Sunday to decldo whether Bitting shall be allowed
to continue with Lenoir. Just what would have happened In this league If Frank
Baker had signed with Morgantown Is something wo hate to think about. Baker
is breaking up tho Delaware County Leaguo with his terrific hitting, and tho
Delaware County League is probably a trifle faster than the WcBtorn North
carouna Association.
Senor Oliveras in No Danger of a Swell-head But Kelly Has Made
Arrangements for a Game in Tennessee The Hotel of Colonel
Randolph And Joe Discovers a Dark Gentleman.
By CHARLES E. VAN LOAN
The World's Mot Famous Writer of Baseball Fiction.
Joey Boitwlck, scout for th Orphan",
discovers a marvelous second biuo player
down South. For obvious reasons Ilud
Duckner Is Ineligible but If he con be
gamer oft as a Mexican his color will not

suspicious ot the trick.
Duckner Is smooth, knows Spanish and Is
wllllnx. The scheme Is worked, and at the
beginning of the tralnlnc season Kelly
sends Carter, another scout, to make the
discovery of Ramon Oliveras, who is JJuckr

Ramon carries out the part beautifully.
Ho makes eood as a player. A pretended

"Sherry's" Bat Put Mnmaux Out of the Gnme
Shorwood Magee and his big black bat proved the undoing of the sensa
tional Al. Mamaux In Pittsburgh yesterday and tho Braves took their third
successive gome from the Pirates. Magco opened the second inning with a
triple and thrco runs were' tattled before the side was retired, while in the third
Inning he smashed out a single which scored Moran and caused tho retirement
of Mamaux. These drives helped placo tho Braves In a tie with the Dodgers for

Brooklyn Is running to fprm on tho road and only tho slump of the Phillies
has permitted tho Dodgers to stay up in tho race at all. The Braves are now
but three games back of first place and It Is likely they will bo on even terms
with the Phillies or close to it when these teams meet in a four-game series
here starting August 13.
Connie Mack Has Purchased Westcott's Release
Managor Mack haa purchased the release of Catcher Westcott, of the iialcigh
club of the Carolina Association. rWestcott is a protege of "Stuffy" Mclnnis and
came here at the request of the star nrst baseman, Mack had no uso for him at
the time and sent him to Raleigh, which is managed by his son Earl. At Ralelch

With the Greatest
Dear Sir: In speaking of the great
players who have served the Phillies In
tho past you forgot to mention Charlie
Ferguson, one of the greatest that over
lived. In those days the three great
est pitchers wero Keefo, Clarkson and
Ferguson. Tho three greatest base run
ners wero Ward, Tlernan and Fergu
son. The six greatest battors were An
son, Brouthcrs, Connor, Ewlng, Kelly
nnd Ferguson. Ferguson used to say
that he was a better catcher tli;i,i ho
was a pitcher, and ho could play any
position on tho Infield or outfield as well
as ho could tho battery points. If any
body asked me as nobody has who the
six greatest ball players wero I should
say watching them nil for nearly 30
years Ewlng. Kelly, Ferguson, Cobb,
Lajolo and Wagner. B, II. L.

Unlike nil tho other notables of our
broad land, tho weatherman Is not a
golfer. Or else he's a 33d degree enthusi
ast and likes to play In - this kind of
weather. Between the wind and heat nnd
rain, local golfers riave had to work the
virtue concentration to tho limit.
But thero's a way of slipping past the
weatherman. The new way will mako a
hit. It Is possible to play 72 or more holes
an afternoon. The ball can't be lost. No
bunkers, no cussing, no delay, no walk

after tother. All one needs to play the
new way Is a 200-horsepower Imagina
tion. Get busy some day when the elemental
are too many. Buy a golf-shot register
at nny corner store. Take It homo, roll
up the parlor rug. and nail It down to
the hardwood floor with long and sticky
spikes. Then go back to the store and
buy somo cork Indoor golf balls. Take
'em home ond then go to tho club and
get the necessary clubs. Bring 'em home.
Hitched to tho register will be found a
golf ball. Be sure the rone won't break
and that everything Is nailed fast Now
tho Imagination part comes In.
Tho golfer stands on the first tee at tho
home links. The green Is 465 yards away,
All is green and nifty. Just then swat
the pill with the driver. Look at the
register. No doubt It says 300 yards.
Good! Now shoot a brassle; 181 yards,
