he is well worth any mans respect and

Writing of Tyrus Cobb a Georgian

is not merely a hit or miss batter,
whose success has terrOrized the pitch

Ideas as applied TO the Improvement Of
his own skill are interesting" says his
friend. He figures that study Of the
pitchers viii do better than all the
practice hitting in the world and the
Improvement OF his percentage seems
to bear him out Each man who goes
against Cobb is made the object Of
special attention. If Tyrus can hit him

ard joke Of baseball that there was
never yet q buffalo like that which
White held on Cobb.
Cobb kept up the war against his
master. He tried changing his stand
at bat and the way he held his stick
but never did he get the ghost OF a hit
off White till he stepped quickly back
Of the plate and met the ball after the
break. That settled II. After that the
buffalo was gone-Cobb had White
and White had Cobb no more.
Naturally every one wants to know
each year why Cobb proves more OF
less Of a failure in the annual worlds
series. The reason Is this: A typically
southern player like Cobb cannot play
good ball in cold weather. You will
remember that the spring Of 1909 was
very cold and that Cobb was hitting
away under grade until the warmth ar
rived The worlds series is always
played in bitter cold, and under such
circumstances Tyrus is a fzzle.
The real point about Cobb Is this
that instead Of being simply a wild

n can league pennant fight this
season. Although ii is a little early
in the campaign 10 predict this. at the
same time it doesn't do any harm 10
look the matter over thoroughly.
Last year the Athletics chased out
the Detroit Tigers to the. last ditch.
and this year Mack starts in with the
same team Of youngsters benefited by
the experience of a hard campaign.
Hughey Jennings also has practically
the same team as last year. but his
men are not youngsters. Quite a num-
Der Of his players are going back as
fast as Mack's youngsters are coming.
Mack also has a few goers, but not as
many as Jennings, and he has a good
youngster to fill every gap that can
occur
These facts should make the Ath-
letics figure TO beat out Detroit this
season, and so far no other team has
shown form good enough to warrant
the prediction that il can Outstrip the
two leaders. If rumors are true there
are special reasons why Mack would
like to win another pennant with the
Athletics this season. OF course he

Mack is very serious about the good
work Of his players and, with the keen
analysis Of which he is capable. points
TO the strong points Of his organiza-
ton. He Is especially gratifed with
the good showing Of his pitchers and
thinks that as the test comes day after
day they will prove their great useful
ness
Unless all dope IS wrong. Detroit
will give the Athletics the hardest
struggle during 1910. Just as long as
Jennings is at the helm there is bound
to be some fight brigade in the Mich
igan city. And. though the Tigers
struck reverses, they have not been
serious enough TO make Manager
Mack feel safe from the Tigers claws.
Cleveland IS another club that is Ger

Maps play inside baseball and IL is al
ways a battle Of wits as well as hands
and feet with McGulre's bunch But
there must always be some batting too.
New York is the other club which at
this early date appears able 70 keep
within hailing distance Of the leaders.
But the Highlanders will have Boston
and possibly Chicago to watch. for
these two fast teams want to get into
the first division badly. However.

Southpaw Leifeld TO pitch at least
forty games this season. The teams
four standbys in the box are Camnitz,
Adams, Maddox and LeifelC.
Manager McAleer has chased Scout
Mike Kahoe into the bushes to dig up
at once some promising young pitch
ers. as the Washington pitching de-
partment is showing up weakly.
The way good old Napoleon Lajole
is bombardlng the ball indicates that
the Frenchman is going to give Tyrus
Cobb, Eddie Collins, iris Speaker and
the other American league sIuggers a
hot race for swatting supremacy this
campaign.
Owen Bush, the diminutive shortstop
Of the Tigers, is making a remarkable
start in this years race. Not only Is
