"Ty" cobb's First Baseball Money.

"Ty' Cobb was born in Georgia and early decided to be a semi-profes- sional ball player. The difference be- tween a professional and a semi pro- fessional is that the former has a stated salary and always gets it. while the latter takes what he can get when he can get it.
 Young Cobb walked six miles in the hot sun to play his first money" game. When the receipts had been counted, Cobb's share was one dollar and twenty five cents. He walked six miles to his home and on the way decided that there was a fu- ture in professional baseball.
 The Charleston team secured him. He was a wild, cratic youngster who could bat like a demon. but never knew when to stop running bases. It is just as important to know when to stop running as it is to know when to begin. He gained the reputation of a crazy base runner and Charles ton sold him to Augusta for one hundred and fifty dollars and was glad to get the money.
 Augusta tried him and found the same fault He could hit. but he was wild and discipline irked him. He was a firebrand on the team and he would fight on the field or off. Ty won and lost several battles with the Augusta players and then the management sold him to Detroit for seven hundred dollars-the greatest bargain in the history of the game
 In Detroit young Mir Cobb. the firebrand. found men who made base ball a study. It was a slugging team, but mixed with the hitting was the judgment which wins games. The players took a hand in tanning that hot southern blood. They argued with him, but as Ty would rather fight than argue, most of the de- bates ended on the floor of the dress ing room. Those cool, seasoned vet erans of the Tiger team knew that in Coob they had a phenomenon. so they went at him methodically, liter ally Ticking him into shape" Some of them fought him more than once. Even to this day Mcintyre plays left field and Cobb plays right field, be- cause it is necessary to keep these two stars as far apart as possible.
 Cobb has lost most of his rough edges. He has gone out of the rough and-tumble business: he sheds no more blood in defense of his prin- ciples.
 He is as fast as a thunderbolt on the lines and the most daring man on a slide that baseball has seen in many a day. His slim, wiry legs are covered with bruises from April until october and he is always slightly lame until he hits the ball; then he forgets his soreness. Absolutely fear less, of great hitting ability, and a fighter every inch, Cobb is one of the great drawing cards in the base ball of tOday.-F'rom Baseball as the Bleachers Like It." in the Outing Magazine for September

COMPETITIVE DRILL
 OF ROYAL NE|GHBORS
Proposed Tournament or the Modern Woodmen of American,
 Fair Week.

At the recent banquet given the Royal Neighbors by the Phoenix lodge, Modern Woodmen of America, it was discussed and decided to or ganize a crack drill team for the coming territorial fair.
 The uniforms have been ordered as well as new rituals, and the or ganization with the crack drilling corps will be seen for the first time in the fair week parade. It is under stood, although plans have not been fully completed for announcement, that there will be a drill tournament. either territorially or inter- -territori- ally. The Woodmen have gone into with a fire that. though not flaming. is surely burning and will continue to do so until only the best drilling team is the outcome.
 Richard BishOpp, recently from An derson. Ind, will be the captain of the drill team and will have charge of the work. Captain Bishopp was captain of the WoOdman team which took the second prize at the national Woodmen encampment in 1899 and the first prize at the national en- campment in Milwaukee. His cabinet of prizes taken at other encampments is one of the best in the country.

-FOUR BIG Ships
MAY Be BUILT SOON
Congress VIII BE Asked TO Provide
for Battleships According TO
Present Plans.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Congress
may be asked next winter to provide
four 30,000-ton battleships. each with
twelve 14-inch guns and each costing
100000. 1t is stated that such
program has been pretty carefully
studied out After considerable pre-
liminary work. the first l4-inch gun
has been constructed at the Midvale
works and is shortly to be tested at
the naval proving ground at Indian
Head. If it is deemed desirable to
have guns of 14-inch caliber, 1t will
Immediately become question
whether there shall be ten or twelve
of such guns on each battleship.
The proposition of two years ago.
during the Newport conference, was
to have ten l4-inch guns instead OF
twelve 12-inch guns, the former cal
iber to have relatively diminished vel
ocity 1t was finally decided, how
ever, that when the 14-inch gum was
developed IL should be OF hitting
power commensurate with the in
crease of caliber and compared with
the 12-inch gun There is an inclin-
alton also to adhere TO twelve guns
in a battleship battery, and II is pos
sible that with the adoption of the
14-inch gun there will he twelve in
stead of ten OF those rihes.
II is likely such battleshlps VIII
have the same speed and endurance
as the 26,0O0-ton battleships now
building. Much may depend in the
determination of this question upon
the plans adopted by European
naVies
