MAYBE WAGNER
WILL COME BACK
IF PIRATES LOSE
That's the Hope Which the Pitts
burg Fans Cling to
Now.

PITTSBURG, April 6.-There Is a
diversity of opinion among baseball as
to what effect the losing of a number
games by the Pirates will have
on the great "Honus' Wagner.
The loyalty of the big Dutchman
in the past TO the Pittsburg team can
not be doubted, and it is an open ques-
ton in the minds OF most Of the Maps
whether or not this same spirit will
tempt the great Dutchman to get back
in the game when his team strikes a
slump. This is the one hope that the
fans OF Pittsburg are banking on, and
II Is a good bet that the big German
viii be persuaded TO reenter the game.
Bill Bradley I'M Addie joss, of the
Cleyelands. are of the opinion that
without the services of Wagner the
Pittsburg team will not be in tho rum
ming al any stage Of the game. Brad
ley, in speaking of the German, says
that there is not a chance Of the Pitts
burg team finishing in the first division
If h big fellow makes good his threat
to quiz for tins season.
Bill is also banking on the chances
that he will come 10 the rescue of his
teammates when they are in the dumps.
for his loyalty 20 the Pittsburg fans
in the past will surely crop out again
if his team has the misfortune to
strike a slumr.
Addic Joss in talking over the situa-
ton the other evening expressed the
same views as Bradley and said that
it did not seem to be a question Of

MADE
ONE FAN THINK
OF TYRUS COBB
Dodge Says Similarity May Be
More Than Skin
Deep.
BY BERT DODGE.

When Charley Armstrong came to the
bat for the first time yesterday, a for
mer Detroit fan. who had come down
to see how the Tigers shaped up against
Connie Mack's Athletics remarked
''That fellow makes me think OF Ty
Cobb"
When the eX-Atlantic League star
walloped the ball into deep right for
three sacks all the fans who had heard
the remark made by the man from
Michigan began to think that perhaps
the similarity between the Tiger re-
cruit and the champion swatter of the
world" might be more than skin deep.
The Detroit man, much encouraged by
the way Armstrong had made good.
continued ID dilate on how Charley
resembled Cobb, and there are not a
few baseball rooters in Newark today
who have a suspicion that Stallings
may have been fortunate enough to
pick up a coming star.
Armstrong; exhibition yesterday was
good. He landed on the ball each time
he came to the bat. 1t is to be feared.
however, that he is a slugger pure and
simple, and that anything like scientific
hitting is beyond his ken.
If the Tigers could develop d Ty Cobb
the local manager, as well as the local
fans, would certainly be joyful. Cobb
was certainly the most discussed player
in the American League in 1907. His
work with the Detroits a filled with
sk%yrockets, Roman candles. red fire,
spinning wheels and volcanic bombs
not literal, of course, but in a baseball
sense.
So often did he have the opportunity
of doing something sensational and so
often did he avail himself Of the chance
that the baseball FAM all along the
circuit began to recount the wonderful
catches and the timely long hits that
they had seen this young player make.
After a time those fans who take their
baseball more through the opinions of
others than from personal judgment
began to think it worth while to go to
see Cobb play. So his fame spread.
The climax Of his personal glory was
in the last series between the Detroits
and the Athletics, in Philadelphia, when
his wonderful, timely long drive ever
the right field fence In a measure
turned the tide against the persever-
ing Quakers.

For the Colts, Malarkey and Crandall
both pitched finely, the former giving
