PLAYERS
DELIVER GOODS
FOR MANAGERS
BY SAM CRANE

New York, August 4-Ty Cobb has
been reviled more than any other player
know Of lie is called "chesty," a
swell head" a "grandstand player" a
numbering base runner and other names
enough for s.S.heer to the game of
baseball to thinhXle greatest ball player
who ever lived to be a dyed-in-the- wool
ruffian of the worst stripe
Now, Cobb is chesty," "cocky" and
FRESH but those are the qualities that
make the best ball players .sssCobb was the
freshest kid who ever broke into big
leagues class is what every Detroit player
says who was with the Tigers when Cobb
first Joined them. But it was that chesti-
ness and nothing else that enabled him
to climb to the top of his profession where
he stands pre-eminent now. and there
will be no one to push him off that high
pinnacle until he himself says to-
And what is "chestness' but the feel
ing one has that one is just as good, if
not better, than anyone else In the line
of business one follows.
Cobb felt it in his youthful bones that
he was as good a player as anyone on the
Detroit team, and made good the feeling
imbued in him that caused the expansion
of chest he is accused of. "Chestiness'' is
one of the most promising traits young
ster can show, and he does not want to
lose it, either, as he gets older
Ty Cobb never wore No cap 1 will
warrant. There is only one player that
/ remember of who ever did and was a
good ball player, and that .was Jack
Glasscock
Cobbs brain expands with his chest and
for the same reason He knew at the
start, and knows now, that he is as good
as they make EN-, and therefore why
wouldn't he expand, mentally and physic-
ally?
All this knocking of Cobb, too, comes
from nothing else than pure and unadul-
terated jealousy. 1t is a case of sour
grapes every time. | never knew of a
pounded ard roasted from Heliopolis to
breakfast, anyhow. These was Mike
Kelly, one of the best players who ever
lived who got Just what Cobb's getting
now.
Give me those "chesty," "cocky young
sters every time and | will gamble they
will make good. There was Arlie Latham,
for instance, who when he broke into the
big league was in danger of getting
mobbed by his fellow players of the Buff
falo club in 1880, when he turned flip
flaps from third base to the home plate
after he made the winning lit and tally
in 1 to game against the Worcesters.
Fresh, Latham was the freshest kid
| ever saw, but in two years he was a
big league star and for 10 years after.
The Cobbs and Lathans make ball play
ers, and they are of the chesty kind that
should be encouraged.

COUNTRY JAY HAS
HAD LEAN YEARS
ALONG WITH FAT
BY BERT e. COLLYER

Chicago, August 1.-THE old chestnut
gelding, Country Jay. POS IA, which won
the fastest three-heat race ever trotted,
when he beat the brown mare, Sonoma
Girl, 2.05A, at Kalamazoo, has had an
interesting career. Gus Macy, now
trainer for the Eastbrook stable, brought
the horse out in 1901, when he was five
years old He was a starter in the M.
& M. that year and finished second to
Eleata He campaigned through the
Grand circuit that season and won sew
eral races, taking a record of 2.10h. Late
in the fall he went lame, the trouble be-
ing spavins. In spite of the lameness
Macy staxed him heavily through the
Big Ring the following season, but the
crippled legs failed to yield to treat
ment and for several years the little red
horse" as Macy called him, was not
seen on the turf. He finally patched him
up and showed a mile at Lexington bet
ter than 2.07, which resulted in his being
sold for long price to the Pennsylvania
horseman, Isaac Eckort
Country Jay was lame again the fol-
lowing season and this resulted in law
suit in which Macy came out best. The
old horse finally passed through the
auction ring and was purchased for
few hundred dollars by ". K. Smith of
Tiffn, Ohio, who patched him up again
so that he trotted couple of races in
the fall of 1908. Macy saw the horse and
decided that there was possibly a race or
two left In his system SO purchased him
for the Eastbrook stable for $500.
Last season the old chestnut was a
sensation. He first looked good, when he
won heat at Windsor in 2.osaa. although

Petition for a Pardon

Berlin, August H.-The American en-
bassy is strongly supporting petition for
the pardon of Henry Schultheis of New
York, who was sentenced July 20 to six
months imprisonment by the military
court of the Rhine-Hesse district. He
was convicted on the charge of DESERVING
from the army in 1885, when he went to
the United States without performing
military service. 1t will take some time,
probably, before the government con-
cludes its investigation. but 1t is hoped
b ythe embassy that its request for a
pardon will be granted.
