BY PAUL HALE eRUskE.

LOUISVILLE. KY, March 29.-Ty
Cobb and Joe Sugden had the whole
Tiger party listening last night to one
OF the old, time-honored baseball de-
bates.
Are the players of the present supe-
rior TO those OF the past?
There has never been a ball club
that didn't stage this argument at
some stage OF the training season. IL
Is brought up just as regularly by the
fans. On account OF the fact that
there is no possible authority on which
the argument may be settled, ii Is one
which will undoubtedly rage as Ions
as the national pastime endlnes.
or course, the veterans side OF the
debate was represented by Joe, Tyrus
standing up for the present genera
ing luminary.
Nobody knows how 1t started, but
Sugden found himself maintaining
that there was nothing new in base
ball. He told how Willie Sudhoff had
pitched spit balls ten years and more
ago, and how the venerable Dick Pad
den, long since superannuated, used
to work the delayed steal. Other
plays, exploited as new by many writ
ers OF the present day, Sugden took
up in detail and told how heroes OF
old had used them as adeptly as the
stars OF the present.
Joe closed with the statement that
in his belief Billy Hamilton could
have stolen just as many bases OF
the present generation OF catchers
and infielders, as he did 10 years or
more ago. Then Ty took the floor.
Il can't be persuaded that baseball
hasn't advanced" he said 1T stands
TO reason that the number OF bright
men interested in improving the
game. must have changed IT,
Then. too, there is the difference

| in the habits OF the men who played
then and now. The stars OF the old
days drank and dissipated as a gen.
eral rule. Now men who do that are
the exception and are short-lived In
the big-leagues. II stands TO reason
that men who take care OF themselves
and play baseball with all their might,
rather than as a means TO keep them
selves supplied with amusement, will
develop the game TO higher stage"
At this juncture Manager Jennings
took a hand.
There Is big improvement in the
| general grade OF baseball. Nobody
can consistently deny that. There are
more good ball players now than there
were before, though I'll not say that
the stars OF former Years were not
up to those we have now.
"A team OF 10 years ago almost al
ways boasted one star pitcher When
the opponents had that one out of the
way they could rest assured that a
very different article would be pre-
sented the other days OF the series
Now it's case of a star pitcher every
day, even II the series includes five
different games without repeating a
single twirler.
| And it's the same with the other
players. Where there were few first
class men in the old National league
there are now two leagues full OF
first-class men. And that's only rea
sonable, for there are infinitely more
ball players in the country, from whom
the teams are to be picked. To be a
star means much more in this day
than 1t did when stars were scarce
