COBB A GREAT BASE RUNNER.
Jennings Says He's As Fast As Any
Man Ever on the Paths.


Little Rock, April Tt is the
opinion Of Manager Hughey Jennings
that Cobb of the Detroit club is one
of the greatest base runners the game
has ever known
'.I'n go on record with this asser-
tion," declares Jennings, land I'll say
more: Cobb is a better base runner
today than Kelley, Keller and Nc
Graw were eight or ten years ago."
cobb is the most uncertain base
runner in the business" continued
Jennings. you can never tell what
he will do next. That same meth
odical way is not his. One time he
is down sliding head first into the
bag; another time it is feet first. He
throws his body a dozen different
ways, anything to outwit the man who
is waiting to touch him with the ball.
while Cobb was a finished base
runner last year, look for him to be
still better runner this year. He has
natural speed, can start fast and is
able to slide a long distance. His
recklessness also aids him greatly.
Other league players know that Cobb
will go into the bag spikes first, and
to block him would only be at risk
of cuts, which ball players are
anxious to avoid.
'@This reckless running makes an
infielder uncertain of himself. Some
times it rattles him and he is unable
to make the play fast enough. At
other times he juggles the ball and
the runner makes second or third
easily. But only player as reckless
as Cobb gets away with it,

A Long Voyage for a Muscotah Boy
Who Will Be Away Eight Years.


Atchison, Kan, April Harry
Maynard, a Muscotah boy, who grad
yates this spring from Union Theo-
logical seminary. New York, had ex-
pected to go as a missionary to Natal,
South Africa, but at the request of the
American board of commissioners for
foreign missions, under whom he
works. he has changed his plans and
will go to Bitlis in Asiatic Turkey in
stead. His work there will be among
Mohammedans and Armenians, and,
owing to the unsettled political condi-
lions in that country, it is a post call
ing for the exercise of great tact and
diplomacy, as we'll as courage. He will
be ordained in DR.. Sheldon's church in
Topeka about the middle Of May, then
he goes to Boston for a weeks mis-
sionary conference the first Of June,
after which he will be at home for a
final visit before leaving for his
new field. He sails early in Septem-
Der. and is expected to stay eight years
before he gets a leave of absence.
Bitlis is 500 miles northeast of Jerusa-
lem, on the headwaters of the Tigris
river, and is a rather difficult place to
reach.

Elsmore, Kan, April w. w.
Caney, who has a large number Of
gas holdings in this vicinity, brought
in moster gas we'll, on the Joe
Swanson place, about four miles
southwest of here. The sand was
reached at about $40 feet and before
ten feet of the sand had been pene-
trated, the volume of gas became so
great that drilling had to be stopped
until daylight. Altogether about
twenty-five feet of sand was penetrat-
ed. Mr.. Caney, in placing an esti-
mate on the well, said that it would
easily produce fifteen million and per-
haps more. This is the first we'll drill
ed on this section, and is valuable
find for Mr.. Caney as it opens up an
entirely new field.

Los Angeles. Cal. April 7.-Ru-

termination to fight for no club but
that run by Jim Coffroth out in
Frisco, for Jim Jeffries has sent over
a bid for a bout between Joe Cans
and the Boer, to be held at the newly
born Jeffries Athletic club, while the
fleet is in California waters. Jeff first
offered Unholz a bout with Packey

that proposition and now jeff says
he will offer so per cent of the gross
receipts, and they will be big, for a
twenty-five round fight for the Old
Master and the Boring Boer. That
offer should look good to both men.
