Goldsmith, throughout his long ca

PAUL COBB IS
COMING BACK
Tvs Brother Hitting Great Guns in
the Western League and May
Be National.

WASHINGTON, May 30.-Paul
Cobb, brother OF the famous Tyrus,
will likely be a member Of the Ma
tionals before the end Of the present
season. Paul is now playing right
field for the Lincoln team OF the West
ern league, and his hitting Is such that
II is attracting wide attention.
Bob Unglaub, the former National.
is manager OF that team, and he has
written TO his former employers here
and told them Of the prowess Of the
brother OF the illustrious Tyrus Cobb.
sunglanb says that Paul has developed
Into a great ball player, and that no
mistake Will be made in securing him
for the Nationals.
Western league scores certainly
bear out Unglaub's contention that he
Is a hitter, for In every game Cobb
has two or three hits. He Is younger
than Ty. a right-handed hitter and
rather heavier and taller. Like Ty. he
is said to be fast, though he does not
possess the dash which has made his
brother famous.
Manager McAleer has set himself In
communication with Unglaub, and II
II Is possible to secure Cobb at once
he will be brought here II not. an
option on his release will be secured.
and he will report here In the fall or
next spring.
McAleer signed Cobb several years
ago for the st. Louis club, but he was
a mere boy at the time, and was sent
back to the minors without ever dom
ming uniform.
The latest averages or the Western
league published show Cobb to be hit
ting at S67 clip. while he leads the
outfielders In fielding. Last year he
hit .317 for the season, but his field
ing average was such to create the
impression that he was not particu-
larry strong at this feature Of the

Jones Of Cornell The
Gunner Of The Age

BY all odds the most remark
able performance of the past de-

last Saturday. Running through
a large field of speedy men and
led until the last lap by Han
AVIAN OF Detroit. VINO took sec
ond, Jones ran the mile IN
4:15 2-5, winning by about ~
yards.
Jones feat breaks the Inter

amateur record. The latter
mark was 4:15 3-5. set by I.
p. Conner, in August. 1895, an6
had been considered impreg.
nable. p
II is easy TO see how Jones,
In a record trial with good
pacemaking and without the
necessity for working his way
through a field OF runners out
TO pocket him, could be almost
certainly relied on TO set new
worlds record, eclipsing the
professional record OF 4:15 TO,
held by w. q. George, the Eng
