SPEAKER MAKES BETTER
GETAWAY WITH THE BAT
THIS SEASONTHAN COBB
iGre&t Georgian Leads
Club in All Previous Starts Tris Pulled
Fielding Feat in Opener
TY COBB'S wonder work on the bases Is ntttibutcil chiefly to his ability
to cet uway fast. There nro muny speedier players than the l'each In n
tralght sprint, but there are no others who can perform the- astounding
imta for which the TIrci- star Is justly celebrated, and starting generally Is
considered his lonff suit. He gets the old Jump.
And Tv'h hlttlnc cetnwnvs well nrovo that he puts Into effect the same
U svstem of nlflv In his battlnc. for each
a full head of steam on as roon as he steps up to the platter swinging his
thres well-known war clubs. He may be sick abed the day before, but he
gets the usual opening hits. According to the figures, his record in open
Ing games stands at .342, a mark greatly In excess of that hung up by
Tris Speaker, which Is Ehort of the .200 point. Trls's exact record Is .199.
The only two years Tyrus didn't acquire safeties on the first day wero
1909, when he faced Piano-mover Smith, and 1912, when he batted against
"Willie Mitchell. In three openings the Peach mado one hit, In fl'o openings
hs nade two and In one opening he made three.
The Tiger's most enjoyable time when the pennant pursuits started was
In 190S, when, batting flie times against vl. Harris Whl'c and Nicholas Alt
rock, southpaws, ho struck three mfo blows- a slnbio and a douMe ufT
White and a homer off Altrock. T' four-bagger was made on tin U.st
ball Nick pitched utter he had relieved the slender left-hander.
Twice on opening day Cobb came through with a braro of doub ? s
both times against Cleveland pitchers. In 1910 Addle Joss yielded theso
hits. Last season they wero procured off Stanley Coveleskio. Jim Dagby
was the victim of his two hits this s-casun.
Three moro long hits were made by Cobb on opening days a total of
lno for ten openings. He got a homer off Hd Walsh In 1911, a triple off
Carl Wcllman In 1914 and a double off either Albert Russell or Urban Taber
in 1916.
COBB missed two other opening games of the season in addition
to the one this year, and his record for the first games actually
played In 1906 and 1913 is not available. Xor is that of Speaker
for his actual opener In 1908.
1918 First Year Tris Has Outliit Ty at Start,
ACCORDING to available records, the pieacnt season Is the first In which
, Speaker has got away ahead of the Tiger streak. Each mado two hits
la the first game played, but the Indian clouter "hooverlzed" by means of
one freo trip to first and his card stood three and two against five and two
for the Tiger, thus making their respective marks .666 and .400. In his
present season's auspicious debut Trl3 took a turn both at Pitchers Boland
and Erlckson.
Speaker has been among tho&o present In nine openings from 1909 on.
Tris in this time probably has drawn twice as many passes as Cobb, most
of them being forced on him. The first day ho played with tho Tribe, Bob
Uroom, now one of Speaker's teammates, Insisted on giving him three com
pllmentaries, not one of which the Texan wanted.
Just once prior to the present season has Tris at tho lcVik-oil kicked In
with moro than one hit. That occasion was 1910, when he nicked Jim
Vaughn, then of the Yankees, for a single and a double in six trips to tho
plate, tho combat going fourteen Innings to a tie and being the present
Cub's first classic curving performance In fast company.
Speaker got a single off Walter Johnson in the 1914 Inaugural, one off
either "Dolly" Gray or "Dixie" Walker In 1911, one off either Jack Coombs,
Chief Bender or Eddie Plank In 1913 and one off either Bill James, Johnny
Couch or Carroll Jones l.ut ear. Eddie Plank held tho Texan hltless In tho
blow-olf battle of 3909. as did Bay Caldwell and Jim Vaughn In 1912; m
did. Herb Pcnnock In 1915, and so did Bob Groom In 191C. Speaker' ono
steal In an opener came five years ago. It was made on Jack Lapp.
" QJPEAKER'.S flying getaway this year was an all-around feat of
note. Ho pulled one play that hardly will be duplicated this
year. He ran In on a short fly, scooped the ball Instead of catching
It and personally put out two men at second base.
Larry Doyle Finds Fountain of Youth
THE rejuvenation or reincarnation of Larry Doyle this season Is one of
the sensations of the big leagues. And the comeback of tho Giants'
most popular player Is most gratifying to New York scribes and ball public
on account of the contrast offered by betting up Doyle's work so far against
that of Buck Herzog. To date Larry has outplayed the tempestuous Buck
no far that there isn't any comparison.
Larry has undergone a miracle; ho has discovered tho Pountaln of
Touth, the feat being outlined by nn enthusiastic Gotham hcilbo as follows;
"Larry Dojlc's name ought to go down In history as one of tho world's
greatest discoverers. Larry spent a few weeks In Florida last winter and
discovered the fountain of perpetual youth, while 'way back In the sixteenth
century a fellow named Ponce de Leon spent several vacations In Klorlda
looking for the same fountain and couldn't find It. The children in school
read all about Ponce do Leon, who failed to locate the spring, and yet
there Isn't a word In nny of the histories about Larry, who executed a
neat Sherlock Holmes somewhere In tho Everglades and came face to face
-with the mystic puddle.
"Before Larry went to Florida last winter his baseball days were
about over and he had his ticket bought for a haven of rest for aged ath
letes. Larry didn't want to retire, but wanted to come back to the Giants,
so he hunted up the Florida pool that Ponco do Leon fell down on.
( AND look
A Leon Is."
at Larry today!
Jennings Picks Red Sox Over White Sox
HUGHIE JENNINGS picks tho P.ed Sox to beat the world's champions
to the wire In the American League this season.
Jennings, who has diagnosed the troubles of tho contenders, thinks tho
Doston Infield has more of a punch nt bat than the old one. Mclnnls Is
a better hitter than Gardner, he figures, and ho says Shean Is more pow
erful at the plate than was Barry.
Amos Strunk is a better all-around outfielder than Duffy Lewis, sas
Jennings, and Whlteman. going at a fast gait. Is btronger than either
Shorten or Walsh. That gives Boston a better outfield this year. Wally
fie hang has Added a lot of class to the Beaneaters, tho way Jennings sizes
up the situation. Agnew and Mayer are good helpers for Schang.
Turning to tho pitching staff, "Bullet Joe" Bush Is considered a moro
formidable pitcher than Ernlo Shore, who entered the service. Other Bos
ton pitchers are as strong as last season. Therefore, Jennings thinks,
Uift lied Sox look like the fellows to "go out and get."
, Stallings May Have to Satisfy Rudolph'
STALLINGS Is In an awful plight for pitchers, and It may be that Dick
Rudolph, who has been staging a regular Herzog holdout, will have to
lie satisfied at any cost. Rudolph hasn't the advantage of having two
dubs to hold out against, but he is in strong demand, as Uaughton, Stall
MB8 and the Boston public are not likely to entertain a possibility of finish
ing below Brooklyn.
Hugyins After Foster to Strengthen in Box
"TILLER HUGGINS Is stuted to be hot after George Totter, the pitcher
'"aw 'radetl bi' the Iled Sox t0 tlls ReJa tor Dave Shean. Foster Is a hold
fct and demands (8000 for tho season. Boh Connery, Miller Huggins's
wristant, has come back from a conference with Matty.
' The Reds owe tho Yankees a player in the deal which sent Lee Magee
:tWu the Browns to tha Reds and Tim Ilondryx from the Yankees to tho
terpvyns. In view of the success which Is marking Ma gee's efforts as a
d, the Cincinnati club la not expected to balk at sending Foster to New
Tofkf particularly since it is unwilling to yield to his financial demands.
4e. time ago Hucslns told Matty that ho would settle all claims If Russell
Wtackbume, tho lnftelder bought from Toronto, was transferred to the
fuks. but Blackburno appears to be a Red llxjuro at shortstop.

DEBUT OF HOGG IS CHEERING
TO PHILS' CHANCES THIS YEAR
Silver - Crested Mounds
man Late Starter, but
Already in Form Good
Record and Clear Head
N'I2 of the most talked of pitchers In
tho National League this year will
be Hradley Hogg, of tho Phillies. Hogg
Is expected to win acclaim for tho worth
of his good right arm mid eagle eye,
1'Ut
In any even the silver-crested
tnoundxman Is due for the limelight III"
name will guarantee blm this distinction, '
especially as he has arrived upon the
big league hceneiy during a year when .
"whcatless" and 'meatless" are being
vvoiked overtime.
Some of tho Joshers always aro ln-
nulrin;
u bother or not Pat Mor.ui will
be able to use the burler on "meatless
das" and tin re will be other clever and j
fnc-tlous refnenees ever and anon When
he vvlps a game be will le "bringing '
home the bacon" and will be "bogging j
the llmcllglit," etc. lilts iiy opposing
batsmen are likely to U. dcerlbed us
"getting a piece of the rind" and so on.
Hut getting down to Hogg's happy
showing In n Phil uniform, the occasion
should mean much for the general
' sticngth. and rspcrlallv the hot depart-
! ment, this hearnn. Hogg Is what Is
oommonlv known as a late starter. He
is a wann-weatber artlM and seldom
eels Into form until the r.ivs of tho sun ,
descend a la perpendicularly. This fact i
vvas well known to Mannger Moran,
i and. In fact, he was advised to this1
effect by Hogg himself, who stipulated
In the nrrang-inent that brought him
here that he vns t get a patient hear
Ing and was not to be counted upon loo
strongly In the tnrlv going
Hut whether Hogg comrs up to the
promise of bis flrpt engagement or not,
and It seems that ho should, for he has
an excellent record and is well seasoned,
he is a good tvpe of tin- Intelligent,
