Tiger 0utfieIder Is Superior to
 Frank Chance.
Wonderful Record of Georgia Peach" on Detroit American Team Has Been Sensation of the Baseball
 World.

Loyalty to his own club and his own league should be leading char acteristic of every ball player, and 1 think have always been loyal to mine, writes John J. Evers of the Cubs in the March issue of the Base- ball Magazine. I would like to be able to say that National league player, particularly Chicago club player, was the greatest in the game.
 I have said, and I still say, that Manager Frank Chance is one of the most phenomenal players America has ever known. In fact, I would go still further and say that he has never had but one superior. But that one SUI perior, I am forced to admit in fair CT, nor in fact National player at all. His name is Ty Cobb, and his wonder full record on the Detroit American team ever since he broke into the game has been the sensation of the baseball world.
 I am not alone In this high opinion of Ty Cobb's work. This view of mine, I believe, is shared by practically ev- cry other member of the National league. There are good players there
 many of them-some of extraordi- nary ability. It is natural they should have their friends and packers, and they do have them. But Cobb's ca reer has been so extraordinary, so much above everything that was or could reasonably be expected, that his merits have aroused the attention of his fellow players, and now demand that recognition which they so rich ly deserve. :. ==s=z z*zz-+.E .l, .zs ]: !tCobb's marvellous showing as bat ter: is alone enough to'insilre his:repu- tatfon: for all time Add to this, how ever,s his; tncanhy ability as a base runner-an, ability in which he stands iinequaled, his recofd-brea ofeats as] a run getter, his a1l-around brill liancy as a fielder, his quickness, dash and execution of daring feats almost instant eous1y, and they place him g

Acting Secretary at Y. VI. (. X. Asks
 to Be Relieved Of Duties Here.

If w. Lucas, who has been acting secretary of the local '. M c. A. since the departure of w. s. Blanton, has notified E. M. Schober, chairman of the board of directors, that it will be absolutely necessary for him to return to his home within the next two weeks. Mn Lucas received a message from his parents in Alton, Iowa, re- gently that his aged father had sus taiGed fractured limb and that it was necessary for him to come home and take charge of affairs.
 MT. Lucas has asked the board of directors, through Mf Sehober, to re- lieve him as soon as possible. He stated that he regretted to leave the association short handed but that it to his home at once. Mr. Lucas is a graduate of the Chicago Training School and during his three months stay here has proved d valuable man at the local association and his many friends will regret to see him leave He stated that he might return to Pine Bluff in the fall.
 The Y. M. c. A. has been without a secretary for the past two months and the board of directors are now looking for man to take charge. Since Secretary Blanton resigned MT. Lucas has had full charge of the as sociation and has conduted it in a sat isfactory manner.

little above and beyond the rank of any other player in the game today.
 Cobb is still young man. He has but reached the age when the aver age big league player is beginning to get reputation. In the nature of things he should have several years of his best work still before him. What he will do in the future no one knows, but he should certainly not go back for several years to come. It seems hardly possible that he could better the record of the year before. Cobb's career has been constant success sion of shattered records and seem ingly impossible achievements.
 Bnt whether he improves or not in the next few seasons which are left him for active play, his career up to date clearly entities him to the honor of being considered the greatest play. CT in the world of baseball. believe no fair-minded critic will deny this statement.
 The Chalmers commission, com. posed of leading critics of the game, gavo Cobb their unanimous vote-an honor which could not have been granted to any other individual now on the diamond. Every section has it's own particular starr every city its special fayorite, but all sections and all cities, whether or not they agree on any other single topic in baseball, all agree in giving Cobb credit or standing without peer.

MUCH IN NAMES
 IN THESE INSTANCES

Frank B. Perry, of No. 815 West Eleventh avenue, and for number of years an employe of Sanders mill, has been embarrassed during the past few days since the criminal docket for the March term of Jefferson circuit court was published in the Graphic. The docket contains the name of Frank Perry, who is to be tried early in the term on a forgery charge, and many friends of Frank B. Perry have asked him regarding the trial, etc. The man to be tried is a negro and not the employe of Sanders mill, who has never been in court in his life.
 The name of E. o. Perry also ap- pears on the docket, but it is not the E. o. Perry who resides at No. 1906 Oak street in this city, the treas urer of the local Woodmen Lodge.

Alexander pitched good ball for the clothing team. The High School lads only. found him in one Inning, when he gave four passes to first and the boys got two hits, net ting five runs.
 The Marx team got the long, lanky F Mcintyre in the third inning and hit him at will but the coach let him stay and take his medicine which will no doubt do him good. The High out Held pulled off some boneheaded stunts and Mcintyre did not seem to get warmed up. After the third in- hlhs, however, he settled down and held the hard hitting Marx team down 10 one run, which came as the result ol Tree pass and two clean hits.

J. B. Baker and Edward Sherman, two white men, were arrested yester- day morning by City Detective Me Burnett and Constable Frank Stew art, as the two men stepped from the Pine Bluff and Western passenger train.

A ninth inning rally by Walters and
Colman in the leading roles took the
opening game from the Indians ysster-
day before small crowd of fans who
braved the threatening clouds. The
bridegroom, who had been clouting
the pill all afternoon, opened the
ninth, when the score was six all,
with double to center and was fol
lowed by the ex-boss with single
that broke up the game.
Barnes, who opened the slab depart
ment for the redskins, had bad in
ming right off the jump and was clout-
ed safely four times for as many runs.
He tightened up In the second and
third but the Muskies fell on his
benders in the fourth and two doubles
and triple caused the big chief to
jerk the Circleville youngster and
substitute "Stummicks' Whitaker
He held them safe with two hits until
the ninth, when .Colman and Walters
jumped on his offerings.
Wagner. working on the mound for
the Muskies, pitched a good game
throughout and with the expeetion of
the fourth inning, when the Indians
tied the score, kept the hits we'll scat
tered
Hilly's fielding was the feature of
the game, seven put-outs being credit
ed to the center fielder Three of
these were of the circus variety and
cut off sure hits. He also brought the
bugs to their feet when he knocked
down Walters two Dagger in the ninth.
Eight Of the total number of hits
went for extra bases and not a
scratch was registered throughout the
game. Walters led In the hitting
honors of the day, although Kelly
Hilly and Murray gave him a hard
run for the place.
Muscatine took fancy to Barnes
benders In the first inning. M. An
derson. the first man to face him, was
an easy out, Moore to Murray Mas
tiers followed with clean single tic
center and went to third on Walters
clout to right. Colman was hit bv a
pitched ball and filled the bases. All
perman doubled to left, scoring Mas
tiers and Walters and Hart scored the
ex-boss and the left fielder with a
single to center. With four runs in
Barnes settled and struck out Ell

from Baumann to Murray.

fourth when, after Ellwarner had lift

met the pill on the nose and ratified
the tin fence in center fence for three
sacks. Wagner contributed double

and was brought across the rubber
when M. Anderson tripled to left.

Looked Dangerous.
The visitors were dangerous In the
seventh when two singles and man
hit with a pitched bali filled the bases,
but Stummicks weathered the threat
ened storm and retired the next two
men.
With the score tied in the ninth
Walters opened the bombardment
with a double to center followed by
Colman's drive in the direction of
Moore who could not reach 1t in time
and Walters crossed the pan.
Keokuk started their scoring in the
third after Barnes and Baumann were
gone. st. John singled to right and
Kelly doubled to left, scoring the
Rabbit. Jones slammed a line ball to
the center field fence that was good
for a three-quarter trip of the circuit
and Kelly walked across. Hilly went
to first when Wagner slipped curve
ball into his ribs and Punk and Pat
scored on Murray's triple to right.
Queisser ended the session with a
grounder to A. Anderson.
Two more were sailed by the tribe
in the seventh when Baumann waited
for four wide ones, was sacrificed to
second by st. John and scored on
kelly's single to right. The ball rolled
through Ellwarner's legs and Kelly
went to third. Jones grounded out to
short but Harry scored on Hillys
bingle to right.
Baumann opened the ninth with a
single to center but could get no farth-
er than second. Kelly and Jones fail
ed to deliver and the game was lost.
Jumps Burns should also be includ-
ed in the features of the matinee for
he was so poor on almost every de-.
cision that he made. that the bugs got
more enjoyment out of him than they
did the game. He was also nicked by
the ball a couple of times and was on
one pin most of the time.
