PITCHERS Spalding. once
INTERESTED. king OF pitchers.
now the proprietor
or the largest sporting goods nrm In
the world--an organization with
branches In nearly all the big cities
OF the country.
Mr.. Snalding hns been out OF base
ball for many years but the Intelligent
interest which he still shows In the
game 10 noted in letter recently re-
ceived by Richard Jackson. Jr'. man
ager OF the Spalding branch In De-
troit.
In the letter. Mr.. Spalding included
a number OF tabulations which he mas
compiled, tending TO show that the
new ball not only conduces to more
interesting games but actually works
toward clean play.
Mr.. Spalding takes for basis OF COM
parison the totals OF % worlds series
games, played from 1869 inclusive.
and the GA games played In the Amer
lean and National leagues May 23 10
80, 1911. These should AFFORD fair
basis of comparison between the OLD
rubber-cored ball and the latest Gre
alton cored with cork and rubber COM
bined.
The average total runs with the old
ball per game were IL yielded by 10
hits and at the expense OF S9 errors.
The average runs with the new ball
were S.65 of liz hits, with S.s7
errors.
Mr.. Spalding figures that the max
i'm score In the old conditions was
almost identical with those OF the
present day, his totals showing lit
tie more hitting and few less errors
for the present variety
Aside from throwing considerable
light on present-day conditions-ev-
eryope must be surprised at the small
margin of difference actually MADE
In the hitting by the new ball-the
interest shown by Mr.. Spalding In
the sport OF which he was once 80
active a factor. Is pleasant to note.
Mr.. Jackson says that Mr.. SpalSng's
home at Point Iona. Cal. contains
laboratory which Is amply capable OF
testing every mechanical device for
the use of an athlete. Here Mr..
Spalding spends many hours, expert
menting with the ideas OF his design
, ers, II Is said that the present great
| " improved machine which makes
baseballs Is due to a great degree TO
the ingenuity and practical knowledge
OF Mr.. Spalding himself.
None other has better right to the
| title OF Grand Old Man OF Americas
national game-a crown which has
been given TO many, but which really
belongs nowhere but on the brow OF
A. G. Spalding.

That President Navin is seriously
planning a reconstruction OF the
Tiger infield, is obvious from the pur-
chases which the club has already
made In that department.
Up to date the club has enrolled on
its list the following new men:
Secondbaseman Tutwiler. OF tne
Hattiesburg, Miss. club In the Cotton
States.
Shortstop Harold G. Killing. OF the
Syracuse University team.
Thirdbaseman Jess Runser, OF the
Montgomery, w. Va, team OF the
Mountain States league.
Secondbaseman Bauman, OF the
New Bedford team Of the New Eng
land league.
In addition to these men the CLUB
has also on its list Thirdbaseman
Westerzill OF the party which made
the spring trip. Il Is very likely
that Westerzill will report to Detroit
I'm A few weeks. The operation on mis-
knee was a complete success ana ne
Is now undergoing Strengthening
process with gratifying results. He
has asked President Navin to nnd
him some work and Is anxious to get
busy again. The Detroit executive Is
going to confer with Manager Jen-
nings on the latter's return, and see II
Hughie doesn't think II possible to
make use OF Westerzill here In De
troit.
Although the little Texan played
third base in the Western league last
year. he impressed everyone as
versatile man who could put up a
creditable game at second or short
stop.
There Is every indication that De-
troit will have a new secondbaseman
before long, reserving Delahanty for
pinch-hitting and utility purposes.
There is but scant chance OF any
change at third base, however. as the
club would be taking most radical
step In removing Capt Moriarty who,
with a youngster at second would
be the only veteran remaining on the
infield. One man OF this type, IL Is

TY COBB's WONDERFUL GOAT.
By Gelon smith.
No one has got Cobb's goat.
1t follows him where ere he goes.
Sometimes when q base he steals,
The goat rides In an automobile.
Hughie Jennings always says
That Tyrus wins his bets,
For when he says he'll steal base.
No one can stop him--not even Chase.
When Cobb walks out into the field.
The goat Is always at his heels:
And when he gets the three men out.
He walks In to give the ball a ciout.
He tries three bats-then picks the
best
Which surely ought to stand the test
For good fans know how hard he
hits,
So hard It stings thru the heider's
mitts..
Tyrus rubs his hands with dirt.
Then wipes them on his baseball

Now I'm surely going to hit her"
He clouts the ball right on the nose.

Around the diamond the cyclone spins
And for Detroit-the game he wins.

And there he takes his place.
E'hat makes the pitcher shudder,
And feel an awful chill. .
Wor he knows there's something doing,
II Cobb lands on the pill

He waves his players back,
Then I'm suspense they walt TO hear,
