Tho question of who Is the most valu ablo ball player on a club, if uppplled tn Detroit, would ho hlmplo. Tho answer is Cobb. Hut whether they ho pitchers, catch ers.

Tho prob lem Is a hraln-twlster, to say tho least, hut It Is piobably a safo hot that if tho matter was left to a vote by tho fans, tho players who would stand out brightest piobahly would ho tho following: American League l.Mdlo Cfcotte. Chi cago j ltaho Ituth, Boston ; Ty Cobb. De troit ; Trls Speaker, Cleveland, and Frank Baker, New York. National League Ferdlo Schupp, New York; Krcd Timcy, Cincinnati; Groer Alexander, Phillies; Walton Crulso, St. l.ouls. and Jim Vaughn, Chicago. Tho fact that a winning pitcher always stands out brighter In tho limelight than any other player, if ho Is really a btar, ac counts for tho naming of ho many pitchers hero.

How's that for an ump? As a rulo It Is tho other way around. Ono of tho host features of Hill's work Is tho pep ho injects Into cery game ho umpires.

Ono of tho few exceptions to this rulo wad tho longest gamo In tho history of tho Hluo Itidgo League, an elghtecn-lnnlng gamo be tween Martlnshurg and Hanocr. Has Hill got a chanco to get Into tho big show next season? Well, Just listen to this; Ted Sullivan, veteran scout for tho Han Johnson clan, told President Jamison, president of tho Hluo Hldgo League, that ho was lucky to get hold of such an um plro as Hill for such a small league. Hut what Sullivan did not tell Jamison is moro Important, and that Is that ho has recom mended McGowcn to Han Johnson. Tho veteran baseball sleuth met Hill after a gamo recently and propounded a set of questions to tho youngster. Ho nslted Hill how old ho was, whero he had worked and whether ho had any Idea of getting into tho big leagues or not, and if so, how soon. Hill took a deep breath and answered all tho questions at once. Only 21 Years Old "I'm twenty-ono years old," ho said. "I feel Huru I will ho lu tho majors bcfore.an other !lo years aro gone." "Yes, jou will ho up thero next year If I can land you," said SullUan. "pm on my way now to wlro Han Johnson."

At that tlmo Hoston, Chicago "and De troit were well bunched, with Chicago nnd Detroit finishing at homo nnd Boston on tho road. ( "Boston may win," remarked Ty, "If she doesn't hae any bad luck. Hut suppose Carrlgan should lose somo star In tho next few days? Supposa he lost a man like Jack Barry with a long trip ahead whllo wo wero playing at homo? Thero would bo nothing to It then. If Harry nr Iluth or Lewis should fall out Boston wouldn't havo a chance." Tho dopo bccmed to bo reasonable enough. Boston had already lost Speaker nt tho season's start and It was considered re markable that sho had stayed up so well. Two days later word camo from Boston that Jack Harry had been badly Injured and would bo out for the rest of tho season. Wo Immediately recalled Cobb's prophecy. Tho Bed Sox wero Just starting West, neck and neck with tho White Sox and Tigers, with Barry gono and a hard load trip ahead. These wero certainly odds enough against any club. But jou may recall tho details. Minus Barry tho lied Sox whipped the White Sox two out or three and upset the Tigers three out of four. Of their seven championship games against tho contenders on tho lat ters' grounds the Bed Sox won five and lost two Just enough to leave them In rront by a margin of two games. The Next Test Tho Itcd Sox today are facing their last western tour, with tho White Sox favored In tho betting. Barry's team must grapplo with Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland and St. Louis, whllo Chi cago Is hooked with Boston. New York. Washington and' Philadelphia. Tho odds through this next stretch cer-, talnly look to bo heavily against Boston's entry. But this Boston club In the last two years has shown such surprising tenacity ntKt form under heavy fire that no ono can tell Just when It may turn and upset calcula tions. This has been a queer season on tho side. The White Sox only recently lost a flvc-and-one-hnlf-gamo lead In eight days which shows how quickly n wide margin can be cut away. Playing nt homo now the remainder of August, Chicago should pllo up a falrlv tl,i lead. If Chicago can win the series from Boston nt their next meeting, her Eft should bo almost bombproof. But If Bostnn sails In nnd captures tho series, the fin sh mny bring on nnother story. lsh This is Chicago's chanco to nail down th. situation and put herself beyond want. -45. next two weeks will furnish something mo than an Inkling, whatever nn Inkling is.
