OLD-TIME FORI
Jennings Is Not Giving
Real Facts
Xerw York, Dec. 27. — A recent re
mark by Hughte Jennings, manage
of the Detroit Tigers, to the effec
that Ty Cobb,, bateball's greates
star, lias lost some of his speed, lia;
caused a lot of discussion arount
tlie big league baseball Irain.
"Cobb still is baseball's greates
player." said Huglile, "but I believe
he is beginning to slow up a bit.
think last season I began to notlci
that Ty didn't make quite the base;
he used to."
Cobb's oflicial batting overage does
not indicate that he has gone back
The mark of .381 is his highest since
1913, when he hit .390. The consis
tency of Cobb is remarkable when
one notes liow his batting seldom
varies more than a few points a
year. He hit .383 in 1917, .382 in
1918 and .354 in 1919. In the three
years prior to that his average var
ied onlv three points. He hit .369 in
1914, .370 in 1915 and .371 in 1916.
His Base Kunning
When one looks over Cobb's 191"
, stolen base record, however, the
justification of Jennings' remark
tnav be recognized. Cobb stole only
twenty-eight bases last season, his
lowest number since 1906, when he
played regularly only part of the
season.
His steady decline in speed for the
last live years may be noted from
his stolen base record. \\ hile his
batting averages varied only a few
points, his base stealing shrank from
98 bases in 1915 to 28 in 1919. The
down grade may be noted as follows;
1915, 98; 1916, 68; 1917, 55; 191S,
34; 1919, 28.
In the same time Cobb lost much
of his value as a run getter. In 1915
he scored 14 4 runs, a figure he has
beaten only once in his career, in
1911, when he hit .420. In 1916 he
scored 113 runs, and in 1917 he car
ried over 107. In 1918 he took part
in only 111 games and scored S3
runs. Last season in 124 games he
scored 92 runs.
Cobb Still Young
Cobb still looks so young and has
lost so little of his grace and dash
that few fans realize that he is the
oldest player in point of service in
the American League. Of the men
in active service in the major lea
gues in the fall of 1905, when Cobb
"broke in" with the Tigers, only two
are left, and they are now in the
National League.
There two are Hal Chase, now with
the Giants and Leon Ames, then a
member of the Giants, but who fin
ished last season with the Phillies,
and, like Chase, is very near the end
of his big league rope.
There is no reason why Cobb
should not remain around for some
time to come. Tie was so young
when he broke in—only eighteen—
that to-day he is the same age as
old Babby Cravath when he "came
up" with the Phillies in 1912. Cobb
was 33 on December 18. He should
be quite a card at the age of forty
yea rs.

a! Two Important Changes in
Schedule; to Play
Lafayette Five
- State College, Pa., Dec. 27.—Sev
r | eral radical changes wore announc
t ed in the Penn State basketball
t schedule here to-day by Graduate
Manager N. M. Fleming, caused by
unavoidable cancellation by Oarne
-1 gie Tech of the two games sched
uled with that team. Games with
t i Lafayette and the University of
I West Virginia have been substituted
I to till out the schedule.
Carnegie Tech had originally been
i scheduled for a game here on Feb
, ruary IS,and one in Pittsburgh on
i February 27. However, the east
. ern tiip planned by Tech, and other
. arrangements that could not be
. j avoided, made it necessary for the
, Plaid to be away from home at the
j time tSate was scheduled to play
there, and to appear on their own i
] floor the night they were scheduled
to play in State College.
T<> Play Lafayette
Negotiations we: e immediately
opened by State with Lafayette, West
\ irginia, W , and J. and several oth
ers. Lafayette was added to State's
| eastern trip, and she will be met;
lon February 5, at Easton. Swarth- :
i more and Penn are to be played on '
) the two succeeding days. West Vir- !
ginia will be met at Morgnntown !
on the evening of February 27. and '
Pitt is scheduled for the following |
day. Great interest is being tnani-I
. fested in these games here, for
neither team has been met bv State
for some time.
Although they won their opening i
game with Juniata by the one-sided!
score of 53 to 19. Dutch Her-1
i mann's tossers will have to show
| more speed and power than was dis- |
j played in that game to make the i
season a success. State did not get j
properly until the second I
▼half when luck was with them a f
greater part of the time. The de- j
| tensive play was strong throughout,!
but poor passing and lack of team
work was evident.
Sir Thomas Linton Plans
Drastic Yacht Changes
Vow York. Dec. 27. Drastic
| changes, virtually amounting to re
modeling:, will be made on the Sham
rock TV, Sir Thomas Lipton's ehp.i
--| longer for the America's cup, ac
j cording: to reports current in well
j informed yachting* circles here yos
-1 tcrday. The most important change,
it is said, will be to shorten the
challenger's keel by about rive feet
I foi the purpose of increaping speed
in windward work.
The yacht is now in the har.il s of
exue.l shipbuilders near City Island,
having been moved there recently
from the Erie basin, where she had
been housed for four years. The
preliminary work of making the
changes already has been started,
reports state.
American Fighters Win
in Hard Battles Abroad
Ijoiulon, Dec. 27.—Two American
| fighters, Pal Moore, bantamweight,
| and Johnny Griffiths, welterweight,
decisively defeated French opponents
in the ring at Albert Hall last night.
In what was to have been a
twenty-roumi Sout, Eugene Criqui
quit :n the fourteenth round, while
Griffiths scored a technical knock
| out over Francois Charles in the
third round. Both Criqui and
j Charles declared that they had been
! hit low.
Ted "Kid" Lewis administered a
! bad heating to Matt Wells in twelve
j rounds, cutting his face *i ribbons
| and breaking his nose. Wells gave
jup the ur.-equal struggle in the
j twelfth round.
j Moore severely trounced Criqui.
i In the fourteenth round the Amer
! ican sailed into the Frenchman and
' with a hard right hook to the stom
| ach doubled him up. Criqui quit.
He claimed that Moore had fouled
him, but he made no formal pro
test. It was also a right hook to
the stomach that caused Charles to
refuse to continue with Griffiths.
He, likewise, claimed that the Amer
ican's blow was low.
During the evening Georges Car
pentier, the European heavyweight
champion, boxed a three-round ex
hibition bout. Joe Beckett, who re
cently was knocked out by Carpen
tier, entered the ring and requested
another fight with the Frenchman.
TECH RESERVES WIN'
The Tech High basketball reserved
last night opened their season by
trouncing the Palmyra High school
quintet on the Palmyra floor, score 50
lo 23. Tech led from the beginning
of the contest and was never in ser
ious danger. With fifteen field goals
to his credit, Emanuel was easily the
star of the game.

JACK DEMPSEY
HAS NO CHANCE
.ondon Medical Expert Says
He Has Small "Re
action Time"
'London, Dec. 27.—The chances of
ack Dernpsey, world's heavyweight
liampion, to win in his proposed
ight with Georges Carpentier, the
anious Frenchman, will depend
nore on Dempsev's "reaction time"
hun upon any superiority he may
lossess in weight and muscular
>ower, according to a medical wri
er in the Evening News. In explain
ng what he means by "reaction
iine" the author says:
"Briefly the 'reaction time' of a
nusole, or set of muscles, is the
neasurable period which elapses be
ween the impulse to act and its
ransformation into action.
Different Reaction.
"The differences in 'reaction time'
are very great. A man with a big
reaction time' cannot hope by prac
tice to become the equal in this re
spect of another born with a small
reaction time. Interwo\*n with
this is psychological 'reaction time'
or quick and slow tvittedness.
"If he is symmetrically formed,
has the average amount of courage,
a sound heart and lungs, and has
mastered the art of boxing, a heavy
weight of 12 stones, (168 pounds)
a small physical and psycho
logical 'reaction time' has sufficient
muscular power to defeat a man
with a fairly big 'reaction time'
whatever the latter's size and reach
. Th<>re 's not a shadow of
doubt that Carpentier possesses an
y small 'reaction time'
phjsically and mentally."

Thrilling Contest
"The game was full of thrills as
the first quarter ended with the score
9 to S in favor of the railroad girls,
the first half ending with the score 12
to 10 in favor of the Burnham High
School, During the third quarter of
the game the Burnham girls dis
played brilliant passing and Minnie
Lynn, captain, caged a field goal,
while Maude Mathias of the local
team, dribbled the ball the length of
the floor twice' and succeeded in
making two field goals, which tied
the score.
"During the fourth quarter,
Bernice Mathias was taken out of
the game, due to a sprained ligament.
Sara Beck replaced her and the local

Bank Fire
With Pea Coal
PEA COAL should be used for
banking fires during the night.
What's the sense in burning high
price stove or egg coal while you
sleep when pea coal will give you
all the heat required?
And what is more important—
Pea coal quickly responds to the
drafts in the morning. Your rooms
will get warm quicker.
Egg and Pea coal mixed in equal
proportions makes a dandy coal
for hot air furnaces day and night.
