Partisan costumers for making the
belts Of the more elaborate gowns of
a color in contrast TO the whole color

The girdle. though differing in its
tone. is OF like material. and is merely
a new touch-a little oddity-and more
evident because of the attention be-
slowed ON the waist line at present.

Ty Cobb, of the Detroit Tigers, is
champion batsman of the world, be-
cause he knows how to utilize his
speed to the very best possible aa-
vantage.
Did you ever notice how fast he
travels from the plate TO first base,
or from first base to second, or sec
ond to third, or third to home for that
matter? Next time you see him take
particular notice as TO his style. You
will observe many trait which have
characterized the batting stars of for
mer days.
Cobb would never be the wonderful
batter he is if he were not blessed
with phenomenal speed. There are
other players in the league, however,
even faster than Cobb. 1t is very
doubtful if Ty could beat Jimmie Aus
tin, Bert Daniels or Harry Walter in
q sprint of 100 yards. Dayy Jones, of
the Tigers, can take the GeOrgian's
measure quite handily at the century
distance. If Cobb, then. is no more
fleet of foot in the ordinary sense of
the word than many of his rivals,
there must be some reason for his
ability to travel from base to base
faster than any other.
The secret of Cobb's batting and
case running success lies in the fact
that he has mastered the art of
breaking away to a quick start. He
gets the jump on the infield in beat
ing a grounder to first base. He gets
the jump on the battery in stealing.
That marks the difference between a
mediocre player and a star. Cobb
would bat 100 points lower IA sea-
son but for this highly developed art
of getting into full speed in the least
possible time. So well has he mas
tered this phase that the slightest
tumble on the part of any infielder
means a base hit for him. Twenty
five per cent of his hits are OF the in
field variety.
There are two types of batsmen-
scientific hitters and sluggers. Willie
Keller was the finest specimen of the
scientific hitter baseball has ever
seen. OF the opposite type. Ed Dele
hanty. Hans Wagner, Napoleon Lajoie
and Sam Crawford may be named.
Kseler depended upon his remarkable
speed and ability to gauge a ball for
his success. He was a great place
hitter. A keen eye enabled him to so
judge a pitchers delivery that he
could turn ii back in almost any di-
rection. If the infield played in for
him Keeler would invariably push the
ball a little over their heads but too
close for the outfields to catch. If
the inield played deep, Keller would
lay down a perfect bunt.
His speed enabled him to reach first
before the ball could possibly be
fielded. Now Wagner, Lajoie and
Crawford all know how to bunt. They
bunt, though only when absolutely
necessary. or when the opposing in
field. through carelessness, leaves an
opening for an unexpected play. These
players trust to might rather than
cunning. They WELD huge bats and

NEW EVENING GOWNS.

Now is the time to think of the new
evening gown that must be made for
the coming season. Here are a few
things that Paris tells us:

outfield for extra bases. If hit along
the ground II travels so fast that the
infielders have difficulty in blocking
the balls progress even though hit
| straight at them.
Ty Cobb is one of those rare players
who combines the two extreme types.
He is a slugger and he is also one of
the most scientific hitters of base
ball history. Few can nit the ball
hard or farther han the Georgian
when occasion demands. None. with
the exception of Keller. could ever
place a hit more cleverly. Cobb's po-
sition at bat is not unlike that OF
Willie Keeler. He stands with his
feet close together. His feet form a
pivot for the body as the swing Is
made at the BAH. Then with one mo-
ton Cobb is able to hit and in hit
ting, began his sprint just as an ath-
lete gets off his mark in a dash. Cobb
does not crowd the plate as closely
as Keeler. Herein he differs from the
greatest midget of them all. He is
a tall, rangy fellow of steel wire mus
cles.
This enables him to WELD the bat
of a slugger and his bat would do
justice to Wagner or Lajoie or Craw-
ford. Keller was a little fellow who

Keller choked, that is, he grasped 1t
almost at the middle. He stood close
to the plate so that one on the inside

his face was almost over the pan and
he could better judge the delivery.

when he gets a ball to his liking, one

every available ounce of energy In his
body. But If a ball is erved that
presents a chance for the scientific
phase of batting this attitude Is no
handicap. Naturally nimble and agile
as a deer, Cobb can shift his hands

chance for a bunt or a we'll placed

How much more so then the inieId
BY his very position at bat Cobb has
every member of the opposing team
at sea, guessing always as to what
he intends to do. This in itself is
half his success. Add to it the fact
that Cobb's position at the plate en-
ables him to start almost at full speed
the moment the ball is hit and il Is
easy to understand why he is the
wonderful hitter he is.

WITH BURROUGHS AND MUIR.
Journey Of Two NaturaIists to Grano

From the Century.

During most of our trip we saw how

our arrival at the Grand Canon in
the mornig, after a night of travel
and fasting and little sleep, all the
rest of us felt the need of refreshing
ourselves, and taking breakfast be-
fore we would even take a peep at the
great rose-purple abyss out there a
few steps from the hotel. The teas

eating when there was that sublime
spectacle TO be seen. Although he
feigned to breakfast with us, he pre-

where he stood In silent c~ontempla-

waved toward the great abyss and
said: There! Empty your heads of
all vanity, and look!'' And we did
look, overwhelmed by what must be
the most truly sublime spectacle this
terrestrial book OF revelation, as Mr..
Burroughs said.
