CHARLOTTE, ". c., August 20.-Un-
less Joe jackson, the ex-Carolina League
star, Sallie League phenom and Southern
League wonder. suffers a cataclysm of
form when he dons Cleveland uniform
some weeks hence and assists the Maps
IN their American League race. he is des-
tined to be the shining light of the dia-
mond, a rival OF Tyrus Raymond Cobb
for the honors and glories of base bali.
The late purchase Of this remarkable
player from New Orleans by the Cleve-
land club is the most significant negotia-
ton OF the season and evidences the fact
that the moguls in the big woods have
had their optics cast on the Greenville
lad since he leaped into base ball promi-
hence.
The Maps did not get picked up on this
deal. despite the fact that Jackson must
be regarded as a castaway Of the elon-
gated manager OF the Athletics. to whom
he belonged prior to this season. The
terms made between the Cleveland club
and the New Orleans management seem
TO indicate that Charley Frank owned the
player himself and that Mack had a
mighty slender string tied to him.
jackson broke into base ball three years
In the Monaghan mill at Greenville. s. c.,
and had been playing ball in the back
lots OF that town with mill teams. The
fame OF his playing reached the ears OF
Manager Tommie Stouch, who was the
manager of the Greenville club. and he
decided to give the youngster tryout on
his lineup.

"SWELLED-HEAD" PLAYERS
GENERALLY MAKE GOOD
Ty Cobb, Mike Kelly and Arlie Latham,
Dubbed Fresh" When They Broke

Delivering the Goods.

NEW YORK, August 20.-Ty Cobb has
been reviled more than any other player
I know Of. He il called chesty. a~swel

a stranger to the game OF base ball to
think the greatest ball player who ever
lived to be q dyed-in-the-wool ruff1an OF

Now, Cobb is chesty. cocky and fresh.
but those are the qualities that make the
best ball players. Cobb was the freshest
kid who ever broke into big league class.
is what every Detroit player says who
was with the Tigers when Cobb nrst
Joined them. But It was that chestiness
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 on that high PIN
nacle until he himself says SO.
And what Is chestiness but the feel
ing one has that one is Just as good II
not better than any one else In the line
Of business one follows.
Cobb felt 1t in his youthful bones that
he was as good a player as any one on
the Detroit team and made good the feel
ing imbued in him that caused the ex-
pansion Of chest he is accused of. Chestf-
ness Is one Of the most promising traits
a youngster can show, and he does not
want to lose IT either as he gets older.
Ty Cobb never wore a number four cap
I will warrant. There is only one player
that I remember of who ever did and
was q good ball player. and that was
Jack Glasscock.
Cobb's brain expands with his chest
and for the same reason. He knew at
the start and knows now that he II az

why wouldn't he expand. mentally and

Beverly, Mass, July 1.-For a full
minute President Taft and Colonel
Roosevelt stood on the broad veranda
of the Evans cottage with hands upon
each others shoulders while evident
delight shone in every line of their
smile-enWreathed conferences.
Mr.. President was Roosevelt
who spoke, and there was earnest
warmth in his salutation.
"Theodore!"
They patted each other affection
ately on the shoulder. They laughed
in a way that left not single Inger-
feelings. They seemed utterly obliv-
ious of the fact that there were others
present.
1t used to be Mr. President and
Will didn't it?" cried the colonel in
his old familiar, high pitched voice,
"but now it's Mr. President and Theo-
dore.'"
The two old friends, meeting after
sixteen months of separation with all
the warmth that used to characterize
their association in Washington,
slapped each other again on arms and
shoulders.
White House attaches who wit
messed the greetings declared it was
just like the old days. There was a
rapid fire Of conversation. The meet
ing was everything that the friends Of
President Taft have asserted it would
be, and the persistent prophecies Of
those who have insisted all along that
a GOODNESS had developed between the
two men proved to be utterly falla-
ciOus.

spirit of the renewed association with
