FEW OTHER PLAYERS HAVE
RIVALED THE GREAT COBB

! There have been but three or four
players of anything like Cobb's all
around ability i'm all baseball history,
tommerts a Clevs!Hn writer. There
have been greater outfielders in sheer
ability to judge a fly ball or a liner
McAleer, for instance; there have been
better throwers-Evans, Blake and
birmingham among the number; there
have been better base runners-Billy
Hamilton and Harry Stovey may be
mentioned as examples-but in abso-
lutte all-round worth, Cobb outshines
them ALL
Charley Ferguson, Buck Ewing and
three players whose extraordinary
feats on the diamond entitled them
to he mentioned for Ty Cobbs biog-
raphy.
TO Ferguson belonged the undisput-
ed title of the greatest ever" up to
"Ty" Cobb's advent. Ferguson was
just as good a pitcher as Mathewson.
just as good batter as Wagner, just
as good an inieder as Evers and just
as good an outfielder as Flick.
II is told of Ferguson that one day
ir Philadelphia. with lot of doubling
Englishmen looking on he set up a
cigar box-with the bottom knocked
out-on the plate and pitched three
successive balls within the narrow
frame.
"Bill" LANCE could do everything
demanded OF top notch ball player
except to pitch. He was hurricane
thrower from behind the bat; he was
n whirlwind i'm the outfield and he was
a cyclone on the bases. Yes, and he
could bat when batting was required.
Buck" Ewing had no weaknesses.
He was far and away the best catcher
when the team needed him there He
could play at first. second, third. or
short as well as the regulars in these
positions, he was a fine outfielder, a
splendid batter and an excellent base
runner.
II the time ever comes when fine
hair, trigger-lilc comparisons are
made. Ty Cobb Is more likely TO be
contrasted with Ewing than with any
other great player of the past.
The crowds like to have fun with
Cobb: to jeer when he misses a fly and
TO applaud sarcastically when he
strikes out. The fact remains that
with nine men like Ty Cobb on n
team-all possessing Ty's batting.

same nine would he as sure of the PEN
rant as is government clerk OF pay

SPORTING EDITORS NOTES

From the stories floating from the
Jeffries camp it is hard TO tell wheth-
er the big fellow is getting ready foi
a fight or the hospital.
For his end of the recent Phlladel-
phia bout Stanley Ketchel received
$9,975 while Sam Langford took down
$685.. Soft money for a six-round
muse.
The Giants have been doing nice
work and getting their share of the
close games.
Manager Hugh Jennings of Detroit
has certainly signed a bunch of fine
young twrlers.
Plank Davis and Hartsel have been
with the Athletics ten years and look
to be just as good as ever.
Dots" Miller, the Pittsburg second
baseman. has been hitting at 400
clip so far this season.
The Boston National League club
has sent Fred Lose back to st. Paul
where he played all last season.
Charles T. Lathers, former Univer-
sity of Michigan shortstop. has been
sold by Detroit to Montreal.
Mayor Shank of Indianapolis says
that Charlie Cars Indians will have
to play better ball or he will give Sun
day baseball the gate.
A writer points out that il is a good
thing the 16sgame schedule was not
adopted, else the teams would be
playing triple headers before the
wind-up.

WAIVER SYSTEM SEEMS A
JOKE IN MAJOR LEAGUES

New York. May None of the
Giant recruits upon whom waivers
have been requested recently
have been sent on their minor league
way and any announcement of their
various destinations is premature and
unofficial, although it Is known where
some of them will land in case they
run the waiver gauntlet. Manager Nc
Graw expected to make good his prom
Uses 10 several Eastern league mana
gers this week. but ten days have not
yet elapsed since waivers were re-
quested. and, therefore, the young ath-
grounds a few days longer.
Asking for waivers in the National
league this season Is not equivalent
to releasing players; in fact the new
system is a joke and It hampers weak
clubs more than 1t helps them. For in
stance, McGraw asks for waivers on a
certain player; the Brooklyn club
claims the man the next day, and the
ninth day Boston puts in a claim. I'm
der the old system the Brooklyn club
would get the player upon payment of
*'5OO. The new rule would permit
McGraw to withdraw his request and
sell the player to the Philadelphia club
Tor $1,000 II he wanted to. or he could
Eeep the man himself.
Thus the Brooklyn clubs claim of
outhelder Shaw has resulted I'm moth
ing but ill-feeling. 1t is well known
'hat the Brooklyn team ~ already
o' erstocked with outfielders. and !. IL
equally well known that the Rochester
,'uD Is a Brooklyn farm" Brooklyn
Is claiming Shaw in order to turn him
over to Rochester in case another set
VI waivers can be obtained.

THINKS FIGHT Is FRAMED
and JEFFRIFS Is TO WIN
Prominent Eastern Sport Writer
Believes Johnson is the Bet
ter Fighter
WHITE MAN in NO CONDITION

The following is the very interest
ing view of the big fight for the havy-
weight title between Jack Johnson and
James j. Jeffries. which is taken by
John r. Robinson one of the best
known sport writer's i'm the east.
1T Is a mighty hard thing to say
that this fight will not be on the level
and | am not going to say so: yet
cannot believe that everything is fair
and above board. A shrewd judge OF
q pugilist like Berger cannot look nj
Jeffries and Johnson and honestly be-
lieve that Jeffries has a chance to
win. California fans. crazed over the
prospect of seeing Jeffries i'm action
again, refuse to bet on him, and lean
toward Johnson as the winner. But
at the same time they cannot believe
Jeffries will take the chance of fight
ing this great black athlete unless he
has about six aces up his sleeve.
I'm plain language. they believe the
fight is framed, and that Johnson will
go down. Still, Johnson framed a fight
and at the last minute he double
crossed the double crossers and won.
If he hands out anything like this to
the Jeffries clique, you will find that
Jeffries is not morally game enough
to take his own medicine. He'll echo
and re-eeho his downfall a Ia Jack o.
Brien from coast to coast"
II saw Jeff work on a big platform
in the middle of Recreation Park. San
Francisco. 1t was an ideal day for
outdoor exercise, and everything ia
vored the man. He skipped the rope
for two minutes, shadow boxed for
two minutes more, tilted over a chair
for one minute, and then boxed three
short rounds with Berger AL
together he worked eight minutes.
was standing within five feet of him
at all times.
"He swayed and puffed like n sick
elephant. and was about as fast as a
broken-do automobile climbing
Mont Blanc. 1t was fully forty min
utes before he was able to dress and
get out on the field after finishing his
turn. Those pictures you see of JEFF
fries cutting wood and moving two
ton of alfalfa on a hand car are all
posed for the occasion. A farm hand
cut that wood and seven or eight
mules actually hauled the alfalfa.
However. still want to go on re-
cord as sayinfi. If the battle Is on the
level, Johnson will win; Also would
not bet stage money on the result"

COlltCE PLAYERS FACE A
HARD PROBLEM IN SUMMER
Many Schools Are Making it
Easy for Men to Play Pro-
fesSi0nal Ball
OTHERS ENFORCE THE RULES

with the baseball season once again
under way, the interesting and puzzl-
inc nroblem i'm collegiate athletics be-
comes again prominent. IL Is well
t,povn that some of the colleges I'm the
country have entirely given up their
efforts of prohibiting the playing of
GUNNER baseball for money or its
eouiyalent by their students.
These colleges say that IL Is not
practicable to enforce the amateur
,ules with regard To this sport;
that II has been tried i'm the past and
failed; that II Is better to come out
souarely and permit the students to
plav for money under certain restric-
tions than to prohibit II. and not be
able 10 enforce the prohibition. They
also saw that the efforts toward con-
troll result in a great deal Of hypocrisy
and classifying, with a consequent
greater injury to the student body
than the open permission to the play
ers TO spend their summer vacation
in playing baseball for money.
Play for Money.
These colleges permit men who play
on professional teams during the sum
mer time to play i'm intercollegiate
contests the following spring.
There are other institutions which
are endeavoring to control this mat
ter by allowing the students to play
summer baseball for money, but not
permitting them to play afterward In
intercollegiate contests. In order to
give them opportunity of playing base
ball in the spring, special teams of the
ineliglbles are formed. and these play
with the intercollegiate representatives
but do not take part I'm intercollegiate
contests.
Demand for Young Stars.
Most of the colleges of the land are
endeavoring to apply the amateur
rules TO college baseball. as we'll as
to other forms of sport. These insti-
tutions find that 1t is the most dificult
problem i'm intercollegiate athletics
with which they have to deal. Very
stringent rules are necessary and the
temptations TO violate them are so
great that many students undoubted-
y do so and then conceal the fact.
The demand for good baseball play
ers Is so great in this sport loving
country that the problem Is bound to
continue to be a most serious one.
Many organizations are dealing with
the subject in n most drastic maner
and have succeeded i'm applying anna
teur rules pretty thoroughly to sum-
mer baseball among the colleges and
universities represented I'm their mem
bership.

just out Of San Francisco. Back OF the
hotel the country is somewhat hilly
and il was these hills which attracted
Johnson as much as any other feature
According to present plans he viii
spend much time climbing hills every
day. Another point which appealed to
him was the smooth roadway along
the ocean boulevard. On this road
way he will do his running and open

expects to do his training. and ample
