one of Virginia's largest and most I'M
portant industries. As Representa-
tive Richmond Pearson Hobson
q former naval constructor and rec
ognized naval expert, said in his
speech at Newport News on Satur-
day, it was "the largest battleship,
named for the largest state in the
Union, launched at the largest ship
yard in the world"
Virginia should be proud of the
work that has been accomplished
within it's borders, and we congratu-
late Newport News on being the home
of such an industry. The evolution
of the plant in that city has not been
a slow one, but it has developed by
leaps and bounds and even greater
accomplishments may. be looked for IN
the future.
The addition of the Texas to our
navy again calls attention to the pol
icy of false economy which the Dem
ocrats in the House insist upon carry
ing out, by their refusal to grant
sufficient appropriations for new bat
tleships to keep our navy up to It's
present standing among the nations
of the world.

base line and a little over toward Sec

fellow on first was hard runner, fast,
and a nice slider. The fellow on third
was only medium fast and usually was
a slow starter from third on play

eight feet in front. Of second base,

THE CASE OF COBB.

For 2 few hours. at least, the Worlo
has been able to lay aside the wrang-
ling of Teddy and w. II. L. and con-
slider a new puzzle in ethics which Is
outside the range of politics, religion
or love. The incident which has
caused the world to stop its considera-
ton of the more serious things OF He
rose over the action of Ty Cobb, the
most famous baseball player IN the
limited States, who the other day IN
New York went into the grand stand
and proceeded to beat up spectator
who had heaped TRADE of abuse upon
the head of the hot-headed Southern
player. Ban Johnson. the dictator
of the American League, suspended
Cobb indefinitely and this was fol-
lowed by strike of the Detroit team
which threatens to include Other
teams in the American League.
The question that really comes up
for decision is whether the player, inc
fan or the game is the most important
mart of baseball. To start with, the
man who commenced the trouble by
villirying the Georgian must receive
the larger part Of the blame. GER
taiulv il is no part of the privilege
granted spectator by his admission
fee to apply disgraceful personal cpl
tbets TO a man who is prevented by
his position from replying IN any
wav. On the other hand, Cobb's ac-
ton, while iustifiablc, if continued by
other players, under similar condi-
tions. would result in the greatest dis
order and the probable destruction Of
professional baseball. The sport Is
81 ticklish a thing that anything less
than an iron sternncSs on the part OF
the authorities would bring Immediate
disaster.
The efforts of Mr.. Johnson to make
tho national game clean, decent
sport, free from all rowdylsm, have
done more to put the big leagues IN
their present high place than any 9TH
or one thing. The cleanliness of the
snort is its chief asset. Any iaHneSS
feeling among. Observation-Disclosures
wilI mean retrogression. Yet the feel
juu among the players that they have
persona! rights which should be pro-
, tcctcd is perfectly just. Each year
sees a finer and quicter set oil skilled
athletes on the ball fields. Most OF
them are gentlemen in the best sense
They stand much abuse with re-
markable sclf-control.
President Johnson'S action Is prop
ably best for the game. And it is tc
be hoped that the players will walt tol
an amicable adjustment of the trouoie
But certain outcome of their rebel
lion should be the enforcement OF
some regulation among the fans tha'
will make them as good Sportsmen ant
as decent men as the players have
shown themselves to be.
