TY coBB,s VERSION OF II.

Ty Cobb does not agree with Ma
tional League baseball writer's who say
the Detroit star could not have
been able to reach the 400 mark in
hitting if he had batted against Ma
tional League pitching last season.
The baseball writer's pointed to the
difference in the batting averages
of American . and National League
players. and made the claim hat bet
ter pitching vas h cause.
THAT kind of stuff makes me
laugh was Cobbs's comment. Every
time L hear hat old gag about better
pitching in the National League 1 am
sorry a ball player Is not given n
chance to play in both organizations.
II wish / could play just one season
in the National League when at my
best to show the fans of the old organ
ization that their pitchers are no bet
ter and probably lot as good as those
of the American.
'"They say I could not hit 800 against
the pitching of men like Alexander.
Rucker, Marquard, Adams, Brown,
Suggs. Moore and other classy Ma
tional League hurlers.
"How about hitting APO against
such great slab artists as johnson.
Walsh, Bender. Coombs, Ford, Gregg.
Wood, Mullin, Plank"

While several good bouts are slated
for this week there is one which stands
out above all the rest; In fact 1t is the
classiest affair that New York has seer
in years. 1t is the ten-round contest
tomorrow night at the Fairmont A.
c., between Jack Denning. the clever
W~estsider. and Mike Gibbons, the SEN
sational boxer from st. Paul.
When Gibbons first appeared here he
was looked upon as a good Western
boxer, but after he had shown a couple
of times the New York fans were
unanimous In stating hat he was
another Mcfarland, In fact. a shade
better. It looked for a time as though
no man was capable of giving him d
hard contest.
Denning's admirers claimed that he
was the %cleverest man in the country,

Ask Tiger Owners to
Come Again.

Local fans are now waiting to see
which Tiger will have the honor OF
being the first to kick In with his 1917
contract. Most Of them have been
out for a week. Some of the new
Tiger men do not appear to be salts
fed with the figures offered and have
asked for a larger compensation. Billy
Kay, Harry Swacina and Johnny Son.
merlot are not satisfied, It ID said.
Two former Tiger pitchers, Cy Parkin
and King Brady, both OF whom pitched
for the Bengal brigade during b re-
gime Of Harry Wolverton in this burg.
are likely to get good berths this year.
Both Brady and ParlSin are free agents.
Brady pitched for Albany last year and
won eighteen games and lost Ave. but
he had a non-reserve clause in his con-
tract, and Is free to sign where hc
chooses.
Brady has offers from Johnny Killing,
the new manager of the Boston Ma
t~ionals, and Hughey Duffy. who will
pilot the Milwaukee Club this year.
Duffy was always a great admirer Of
Brady and cast longing eyes on Brady
when Hughey was managing Provi-
dence and Brady pitched for Newark.
Brady is a hurler who needs plenty OF
work to keep in trim. and he worked
two and three times a week up in Al
bany last year. He Is q good left
handed hitter, and can play any of the
infeld positions. Wolverton brought
Brady here from st. Paul. and he has
many local friends who will be inter-
ested to earn hat he has been going
along in good shape.
Cy Parkin says he doesn't want 70
pitch in the East any more. Cyrus
lives in Hudson, S. D., and wants to
get a job with some Western club.
There is one report that Parkin has
an offer from Bud Sharpe. who will
lead the Oakland Pacific Coast League
Club this year. After leaving Newark
he pitched semi-pro ball at Atlantic
City and earned a pot Of dough.
Eddie Zimmerman. c~aptain-to-bs of
the Tigers. Is keeping his eye sharp in
q billiard and pool academy of which
he has charge in York, Pa. They do
say that Eddie is a crack at the game
played on the g-reen-covered tables.
Tom Cantwell. one of the Tigers
placed on sale two weeks ago by the
Newark Club, has been sold to the
Terre Haute Club. OF the Central
League.

to decide who is the cleverest welter-
weight in the world.
1t should be a wonderful bout from
a scientific standpoint. Another good
point Is that along with their marvellous
boxing both men are great %punchers,
which is a rarity in boxers. 1t will
not be a surprise to a great many II
a knockout Is scored after the sixth
round. Up TO hat time 1t should be d
nip and tuck battle for scientific points
and then it should be the Survival OF
the 1ttest."
That the fans appreciate what a great
contest 1t will be Is evidenced by the
fact that the demand for tickets has
been the biggest that the Fairmont has
had since the time Gibson brought
together Stanley Ketchell and Sam
Langford. 1t Is a certainty that when
the men enter the ring that the clut
will be packed to the doors.
