BOBBY WALLACE IS
TY COBB'S MASTER
Veteran Shortstop Is Adept in
Stopping Georgian's
Base Stealing.

Ever seen Ty Cobb, the great batter and
right fielder of the Detroit Americans
slide for a base? No? Well, the next
time you get the opportunity go see him.
This fellow has the prettiest slide of all
ball tossers in the game. Cobb perhaps
spiked more players last season than any
other three men In his league. Because
of his well known ability, because of the
high position occupied by the Detroit
club in the race because of the fact that
in several cases the men spiked by Cobb
were members of teams regarded as De-
troit's most dangerous rivals, it was open
ly stated that Cobb had Intentionally
spiked these men in order to weaken the
Tigers strongest opponents. But this is
not So
Doesn't Try to Injure.
While it may often look from the stand
as If Cobb is deliberate in his attempts to
injure, yet there are few players, If really
asked for an honest opinion during the
off eason, when they are not all excited
over the pennant race, who would swear
that Cobb tried to put different players
out Of the running by the use OF his steel
spurs.
Cobb has a slide peculiarly his own. I'm
like most others, Cobb doesn't slow down
before starting to slide. but hits the turf
at almost his full speed. One of his legs
is thrown in the direction of the bag, the
other usually high in the air. while his
body is thrown in the opposite direction
from the baseman. In other words, when
Cobb goes into base feet first about the
only thing the runner has to touch is the
spikes on one of his shoes. Thus the feat
of touching Cobb is a rather difficult as
well as dangerous task. Then. again,
there are manV baSemen who don't fancy
touching Cobb any too well. and quite
often in trying to safely position them
selves they get in the very spot that
makes the play dangerous.
Fadeway Slide.
Cobb's fadeaway slide is the work of an
artist. 1t takes an artist in the art of
touching the runner to show up Cobb's
slide, just as Cobb's slide shows up base
men who rather fear touching him in Or.
der to avoid possible injury. 1t is always
a treat to watch Cobb try to steal third
with Bobby Wallace of the st. Louis
Browns playing the bag. or see him at
tempt to pilfer second with Wallace as
shortstop taking the throw from the
catcher.
There are any number of American
League f1elders who are very clever at
touching a base runner, but no one has
anything on Bobby Wallace. He is an
adept at handling thrown ball with one
hand, and unless the catcher happens to
make q. throw that is right on the runner
there isn't a chance for Wallace to be
spiked. Cobb goes into Wallace with ter
rife speed. The latter takes the throw in
Cobb's foot and starts him off in some
direction other than the bag. Cobb has
often missed the bag at least foot after
being touched out by Wallace.

Saws Gotch Lacks Courage.

/ heard that Frank Gotch had given up
the idea of entering a pugilistic career.

mend him to public attention in this way,
but he finds 1t hard to screw his courass
up to the sticking point. Now that |

of entering the ring about six or seven
years ago, but about as suddenly decided
TO reconsider the matter.
So far as my knowledge goes. | don't
think Jeffries ever will fight Johnson
again, or that the Californian has any
serious Intentions of such contest.
There are many besides Sam Berger and

statement which is quite correct. He adds after noting the shrinkage during the last two months, that he considers the pulse of the valley is in a critical condition"
 In this he is perhaps more than half right and this comment is offered for his encouragement, rather than criti- cism of his conclusion. The present summer has been one of the dryest known in the valley, the very dryest for many years past. only for the reservoir this years crops would have been almost a failure, some of them complete failure and there would have been a repetition of those scenes of other years when the farmers often gave up in Encouragement. But the reservoir has made good so far as this years crops are conCerned; there has been no shortage of water by those entitled to receive it and instead of despair, the harvest has been bounti- ful. And there is still left in the reservoir, low as it is, sufficient water for the rest of the summer. If the summer rains come in the expected quantity anytime within two months there will be plenty of water to last through until the big basin fills again. Should these rains fail there would be a shortage of water for fall planting and in the interest of conservatism against such an eXigency, if the rains do not start pretty soon, it would not be surprising if the government began to force rather strenuous economy on the part of the farmers during the rest of the summer, that there may be as much water as possible left for fall planting. But the Salt river valley has faced so many present fearsome Obstacles that it is. not going to get frightened at something still in the future. There is every. reason to ex- pect, as well as to hope, that there will be eopious rains before long. There have been several local rains that have done much immediate good, even though they did not add to the reser- voar supply, and now the big ones are in order. It is high time to begin pray ing for rain. but it is not yet quite time to get scared
 One point that cannot be emphasized too strongly is that in the event the worst should come to pass and this unusually dry summer should be fol- lowed by a winter of unprecedented drouth, resulting in a disastrous short age of water, the calamity can only be temporary, not to exceed a single sea son, and such a condition would in no degree reflect on the merit of the

I used every kind of prep aration supposed to cure dandruff, also soaps and shampoos, but it seemed to me that, instead of improving with these remedies, the dandruff increased, even my hair began to fall out and the result was that two months ago eczema developed on my scalp.
 'I suffered so from this that as last resource thought 1 would try Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. They had the most gratifying results for I had. used only one box of Cuticura Ointment and a single cake of Cuticura Soap when l was cured, the eczema and dandruff were gone and my head perfectly clear.
 1 can, assure you that so long as live no other soap than Cuticura will be used by me and ali those near to me. l will also add that I will always use Cuticura Ointment as a dressing for the hair. feel that you should know of my cure and if you desire you may use this as true testimonial which comes from a sufferer of thirty years standing.
