nothing but his speediest straight
ball all through the game, the
chances are he would be pounded
pretty hard before the finish, for
the batters would grow accus-

harder walloping a pitcher would
take if he sent up nothing but
straight slow ones.

they could hit speed. Joe gave

looking for fast straight ones, and
they didn't get many of them. But
they didn't demonstrate at any
stage of the series that they could
do anything with real speed. Hugh

him was nothing to boast of.
Great Speed in Demand.
With due respect to the value of

something else with his smoke, but
a man without smoke can't have it

Ed Walsh would hardly have at
tanned his present status without
the spltball, but minus his speed
the splitter wouldn't be worth a
wooden nickel, while his great
speed alone might be worth some
thing, even if he didn't have the
spitball perfected. Some day next
season Ed intends to pitch a whole
game Of fast ones, merely bluffing
at moistening the ball. His mates

Ty Cobb Is the Greatest Batter of Baseball History
Sam Crane Says Georgia Peach Leads Them All

Cobb came right back the past
season with the surprisingly good
percentage of 40 No such con-
sistency of batting has ever been
known, although Cap" Arson, Dan
Brouthers and also Hans Wagner
have had big consecutive batting
periods.
When one stops to think what a
.410 batting average means, then 1t
can be appreciated. That record
tells that Cobb, in 4 little over
every other time at bat, made a
base hit, and what does that mean
TO the club and team having such
a wonder on it's lineup?
Unfortunately. the Tigers pitch

season, and Cobb's bludgeon. as
nifty as II wac, could not pull his
team out OF the rut

FEW YORK, Nov. 14.-There
~ is little more that can be
said in praise of Ty Cobb
than has already been written, but
his batting average of .410 per cent
that he made the past season, to-
gether with his average of 400 per
cent he accomplished last season,
places him in a class by himself as
8 batsman.
During the season OF 1912 he
again came out ahead Of those
great batters Of the American
league--Joe jackson. Tris Speaker
and Napoleon Lajoie. To perform
that feat is high honor enough, but,
the better one of having led tho
league for six consecutive seasons
and bids fair to DO the same for
another half dozen years 10 come,
provided the Detroit club can af-
ford to keep him that long, with
the raises in salary that he will de-
mand and by all right is entitled to
get.
CObb's record Of 400 last season
was the greatest batting that any
player ever succeeded in accom-
plishins. other players have ex-
eelled those figures in percentage,
as follows:
Duffy. .49s; Turner. 1913, in 1894;
Burch. .423; Burkett, % in 1895,
and IaJoie, .422. in 1901. but all
those big averages were made be-
fore the present foul strike rule
was adopted, and when batters like
Burkett and Duffy. could Kill the

Intentionally fouling off the ball.
and even under those favorable
conditions they did follow UP their
big averages for six years hand

ever this year for two reasons; be-
cause he had better backing and
because Griffith taught him how to
pitch. But Griff couldn't have given
him speed if he had lacked it, and.
after all, Johnson's speed is what
makes him one Of the most feared
pitchers in baseball.
Fred Merkle. who has not been
smiled on by fate very often. was
unfortunate enough to be up in the
pinch in an inning when Wood
showed his best speed of the re-
cent series. He was out on strikes.

McGraw on the bench.
Not a thing" replied Fred. II
/ got that kind of pitching all the
time | wouldn't hit .026. | didn t
see a single ball he pitched, and
just judged he was pitching by
watching his arm come around"
If Wood had happened to be wild
and had sent one at Merkle's bean,
the latter wouldn't have had q
chance TO get out of the way. The
fear of being wounded is another
thing that makes the batter dislike
fast pitching. no matter how often
he may swear he prefers it to SLOW,
The man with a comparatively
small amount of smoke starts a
game under a disadvantage. for the
hitters go to the plate safe in the
knowledge that even if they are
beaned they will live to read about
it next day.

TT has been said that team
needs young blood to keep it
going. If that is the case, the
Yellow Jackets should, go some in
their game against the Red and
Black. This is perhaps the young
est team Tech has ever turned out
and might be properly dubbed the
Boy Techitess' not in playing abil-
3 ity and grit, but in age and weight.
Following is a brief sketch of
each man since he enterd the ath-
letic field, and gives the fans an
insight into what the nucleus"
really was and what the big team"
is composed of:
Albert Loeb played with the Boys
High school during his three years
there and then came direct to Tech,
playing scrub ball for three years
and making his letter in his fourth
year. This is his second year on
the varsity and he is a regular
demon when 1t comes to grit and a
desire for work. He weighs 1916
pounds. is Fl years of age and will
graduate this year
CoIley a Great Athlete.
Colley. at right tackle, is an ath-
lete in every sense of the word.
He has scrubbed for three years
and will make his first letter this
year. He takes the best care of
himself of any man on the team.
He never smokes or drinks and
practically keeps training the year
round. He played three years at
Georgia Military academy, weighs
16s and leaves this year.
Ed Means is another Boys High
school performer. having played
with them for three years, scrubbed
two years and made his letter the
last year. He weighs t72, plays a
guard and is one of the best lines
men Tech has had recently. He
has two years more Of football il

of the big league variety. and
this is Hutton, who plays an end.
Before entering Tech he played
football for seven or eight years
with the Savannah High school
and was captain for two seasons.
He was a star on the scrubs and
came near making his letter last
year, but this is his first year as a
regular. He is sure tacl1ler,
heady and knowing the game is
second nature with him. He is a
sophomore and by next year
should be able to play in the back
field, where he is accustomed to
playing, but again-weight las.
The only new man out of an en-
tering class of over 200 who could
make the team was "Scrappy'
Moore, the little 14S- pound kid who
plays the right end and for whom
there seems such a bright future.
He lisa natural born athlete, but
has had quite a good deal of ex-
perience, having played for four
years on the Little Rock High
school team, where he was a star
of the Evening varsity. Before
he leaves Tech he should make the
all Southern, and that is getting to
be harder and harder to make every
season.
Rely on McDonald's Punts.
The man we shall now speak
of is another one of those Boys
High school players, having played
with them for two years and
scrubbed for one year, and is now
playing such a pretty game at
quarter. This is Mcdonald who is
there with the goods all the time,
and whose punting is expected to
be a feature of Saturdays fray.
This man is something else besides
a kicker He runs we'll with the
ball and is regular demon on
catching forward passes from both
sides. He weighs 100 and has three
more years at Tech, all OF which he
can play in.

man in the back field, and he is /

fire DANGERS FROM
DUST PREVENT|VES
The Iowa State Fire Prevention As
ISOLATION Issues Timely
Warnings.

The Iowa State Fire Prevention
Association are sending out circulars
warning the people of the dangers
of fires from various sources. The
association has a wide variety of
subjects under consideration. The
following is one of them:
Firemen are renewing their warn
ings against various compounds U.s.
ed as floor oils and dust preventives,
many of them containing oils which
conduce to spontaneous combustion.
A number of fires have been started
by spontaneous combustion in the
mops used for applying these oils,
which should always be kept in a
tire-proof receptacle with free venti-
lation, or should be burned after u.s.
ed. Oily rags and waste should new
er be thrown into rubbish heaps
Vegetable oils, especially linseed
oils, spread over easily carbonized
substances, such as cotton rags OF
waste, will ignite very quickly. The
cotton fiber furnishes sort of tin
der. Animal fats, like tallow, but
ter and lard, especially If rancid
will ignite under similar conditions,
but they are not so dangerous as the
vegetable oils. This hazard, which
was originally confined to stores and
public buildings, is now being intro
duced into the home through the
sale of so-called -"dustless duster,'
which is made of flannel treated
| with paraffine oil. A severe loss was
reported recently on a dwelling al
Detroit, Mich, where one of these
dustless busters was laid on a kitch.
en- table and was ignited by the rays
of sun coming through the window
1t is held that incipent spontaneous
combustion was in progress through
a combination Of the oil and the fab
ric, and that this was assisted BY
the rays of the sun. If used at all
fire proof receptacles should be pro
vided for "dustless dusters," anG
they should not be left in a confin
ed place
