TN lllli summer of 1004 just fifteen .Tunes ago a blonde young ball player
J joined the Augustn, Ga., club, and in thirty-seven gnmes finally secured
the moderate average of .237.
Next summer a stocky young pitcher joined tho same club, and tvhlle be
won more games than he lost, he allpwed nn nverage of 5.8 runs to a contest,
which could hardly be listed as a record-breaking event. No one in those days
even in Sally League company looked upon these two athletes with any '
thibg approaching awe.

Can Jess get into good shape in four weeks? He says he can. His

flS sparring partners are of little value to him. True, they tear In and
try to knock his block off, but illiard knows them; they know Wiilard's

jjed his punches because he did not care to injure his opponent, shoved his

points during the week, but still has
an average attractive enough to keep
him in the pace-setting job in American
League batting. Tyrus Raymond has
registered forty-nino hits out of 133
trips to the plate for a rating of .308.
Weaver, of the White Sox, is many
notches below Ty, but he is second in
the number of safeties with forty-eight.
Johnston, of Cleveland, is second to
Cobb with .354, whilo old Ping Bodic
is tied with Bobby Veach for third with
.333.
Bobby Both had a great week, regis
tering nn cighty-four-point gain and
boosting his average to .317. He is the
lone Mack entry in the select. Witt is

But after the English war song
"IPe 5ea you at the Marne;
We stopped you at the Aisnc;
ire gave you hell at Neuvc Ohapellc
And here tee are again."
So heip they are again. One of them Is Ty Cobb, still batting around .400,
nfter leading his league In eleven-out of the last twelve ycarfe; a record never
eveu approached.
.'
'THE other is Eddie Cicotte, who at the age of thirty-five is the lead- '
ing pitcher of the season, tcith more victories to his credit than any
other contender.
The Career Incarnate
COBB broke in ns a regular in 1000. So this makes his fourteenth season
under the Mnin Awning of the game.
In the thirteen years that he has carried a Poling Log to the plnte he has
been beaten out but twice by George Stone, of St. Louis, in 1000, nud by
Tris Speaker, of Cleveland, in 1010. There was a ten-year gap between his
two dethronements.
To jump to the front his second year out and not to be headed until ten
years later is quite an undertaking.
But it isn't nny more remarkable than, being beaten as he was three years
ago, to pick up again next seasou and resume his old place on top of the hill.
Beaten by Speaker in 1010, Cobb came back at an even fnster clip in 1017 and
1018, and today is romping along nt a dizzy pace again, almost certain to finish
in front for the twelfth time.
XITIIEN you, recall that such astonishing batsmen as Willie Keclcr,
"' Ed Delehanty, Hans Wagner and Napoleon Lafoie icere not even
able to approach this mark, you get some idea of the undertaking.
Kceler, Delehanty, Wagner and Lafoie, all together, led their league .
fourteen times, only a trifle beyond tchat Cobb has clone nionc.
As for Edward V.
TjIDWABD V. CICOTTB'S Ititc spurt has been almost as spectacular. After
ii 1015, when he was about to be tagged for tho Soapy Chute, he suddenly
turned with the White Sox and in his next two years bagged forty-four vic
tories against nineteen defeats allowing well under two earned runs a game
over this long stretch.
In 1018 he began to fade through the mists. At the finish hp was not
even listed among the twenty leading pitchers of his league.
Yet, here he is today, at tho age of thirty-five Slathcwson's age when he'
censed firing with nine victories out of his first ten starts the Old Hop still
attached to his Fast One, and all the rest of It well nigh intact the most
successful winner in either major league circuit.
It may be that Youth has to be served but how about this brace of bird?
Said T. R. Cobb to E. V. C:
"irAen'IJ yowr quitting season beT"
"The day that you can't hold your job,"
Said E. Y. C. to T. It. Cobb. ,
And Then Old Cactus
AND right alongside with this pair In the way of walloping the whey out
ofold Doc Time is Cactus Cravath, the Siege 'Gun of the Phillies. Cactus,
Gavvy, Wooden Shoes and all the rest of it admits to having known thirty
seven Junes. ,
He was employing the old ash furnture against a baseball seventeen year
ago yet here he is today, hitting harder and oftcner than ever.
Just ns "louder and funnier" is the slogan of the Son of Swat.
The Old Boy has been on a merry rampage all spring. He has been in
dulging himself in his greatest year, ivavcring between .450 and .500, a lofty
eminence to which only a Steeplejack can climh.nnd maintain his balance.
rJIE battle beticecn Gavvy Cravath, aged thirty-seven, and Ross
Young, aged twenty-txeo, has been one of the big features of the
season, and the kid has had an onion-shaped time of it dragging the
ret era n rfotcn.
The End of Romance?
"Romance," they say, "is dead;"
But ere the word has spread
Some new soul leaps the guarding gate
To take one final whack at Fate:
Some soul who leaps in his advance
The final barficade of chance.
Famous Infielders Under .30b
THE 1st of June found all four of the old Mackian infield Mclnnis, Collins.
Barry and Baker under .300. But Collins was just reaching for the ledge,
with Baker also scrambling for another hold. It takes warm weather to thaw
the kinks out when one crosses thirty unless one happens tobe a Cobb,
Cravath or Cicotte.
The Avonian Blunder
Old Shakespeare made but one mistake through all his ancient fame, '
For a Ping by any other name would never seem the same.
V
WITH Dempsey coming on and Willard going back, h is merely a question
of whether they havo yet gone far enough to intersect. It is at this junc
ture that the knockout occurs and the new champion is crowned.
WITH double-headers piling up, there's Brooklyn with Pfeffer, Marquard,
Grimes, Mamaux, Smith, Cadore and Cheney. Look out for squalls.
