BONE-HEAD PLAYS &
MAKE CLUBS WIN

CINCINNATI. Sept. Sits the
baseball club that is always going at
full speed and trying TO pull OF the
unexpected that makes the most plays
OF the variety classed as 'bonehead'
by sporting writers. The fastest and
best ball players pull of most OF the
plays which come under that head.
Slow-moying players. who never take
chance. very seldom make plays
which appear foolish, but which go
wrong simply because the other fell
lows are there with the goods when
they try TO pull of the unexpected
II was Manager Griffith of the Reds
who was speaking, and those who
stood near gathered closer to listen.
"Ty Cobb OF the Detroit Tigers,
Bob Bescher OF the Reds, Iris Speak.
er OF the Boston Americans and Eddy
Collins of the Athletics are some OF
the players who must be classed as
boneheads II a man is an ivory dome
every time he tries TO turn trick
and is foiled. Cobb Is probably sent
to the bench more frequently than
any other player In the business. be-
cause he runs wild on the bases and
loses out because players on the OPP
posing team weigh in with perfect
fielding performances at the right
time. Cobb Is one OF the country's
greatest players because he takes
those chances. He generally takes
them when his team Is most In the
need OF runs. II he succeeds his club
wins, and if he fails il is almost an
even bet that his club would have
been beaten anyhow.

HOW MACk'S
QUARTET HAS

Won. Lost. Pct.

Jack" Atkins, the Southern league
left-hander, who came to the Athletics
this spring from Atlanta, has been a
victim OF circumstances this season.
Because nj the great performances OF
the veteran pitchers. Atkins services
have not been much in demand. He
has given plenty of promise OF max
ing good. however. and appears to be
the logical successor 10 Eddie Plank
when Eddie's good left arm finally
goes back on the veteran.
The hitting of some Of Mack's pitch
ers has played conspicuous part in
the Athletics performances this sea-
son. also Bender is sticking for 1872 At
present and three times he has hop
ped into the 300 class. Krause, al
though he has worked In only IL
games, has helped matters consider
able In this ii by hitting for 231
Jack Coombs is sticking for PIG,
very fair average for a pitcher.
The Detroit times., 1910-09-08

There are ball clubs which never
pull on plays OF the bonehead type
during their offensive play. One Ma.
tional league GLIB that visits Cincin-
natl never makes bonehead play,
and IL never tries To take the enemy
anawares. IL plays straight baseball
all the time. and finds IL necessary 10
win practically all OF its games
through sheer hitting ability.
"A ball club that never takes
chances will never amount TO much.
When team goes along day after
day doing the same old thing, the de-
fenEive work OF the opposing team
soon becomes pie. The players always
know what is coming of. and are new
er worried In the least Clubs that
fail 10 take chances lose many games
by one run. which they could win by
pulling of the unexpected once In
while.
OF course, club that takes
chances is bound To be pulled up oc-
casionally, but IL Is better to lose a
game by taking chance that goes
wrong than 10 stand idly by and try
10 hammer the life out OF q pitcher
who happens TO be unhittable that
day, and lose because nothing daring
is attempted.
Keep your eye on the records OF
ball clubs and see II most OF the plays
classed as ivory dome stunts are not
pulled off by winning ball clubs, and
then take look at the losing clubs
and see If they are not the ones which
never attempt To do anything start

TY COBB HOME
WITH A SORE EYE
Did Not Make Trip to Cleveland
Having His Ailing Optic Treated
BY Specialist.

Ty Cobb did not go to Cleveland
along with the other Tigers, so IL
Nap Lajoie can keep up his hitting
speed of the past few days he will be
able TO gain materially ON the Geor-
gian.
Cobb is suffering from an infiamed
right eye which may have come from
oyer-indulgence in driving an automo-
bile. The right optic is infiamed
severely, so Cobb consulted a special
list and decided not 10 make the Cleve-
land trip. Tyrus evidently took this
as a means OF pulling bear story
like the football stun on the Cleve-
land folk, for he told Lajoie that his
eye was in such shape that he would
play no more this season. A special

read TO the effect that Cobb was
