BALTIMORE. Md, March 25.-In the

that stands out as a strictly sports

Dear Fanatics: The difference be-

and one only fairly good is being eX-
empli6ed every day by the work Of Ty
Cobb in spring practice with the Detroit
Tigers.
Cobb is playing such a swift game in
right field that any ordinary safe hit
into his territory is an infield blow, as
far as necessity for the runner keeping
ON the Jump is concerned He is grab
hing the swift Founders that come 10

first base with so much promptness

stantly runs the risk of the humiliatine
experience of being thrown out on d

Ganley, of Washington. is not a slow
baserunner, yet he was just one step
ahead of Cobb's throw in Sunday 5
game on a perfect single to right. In
the two games at san Antonio Cobb

narrowly escaped. including Cliff Blank
