Ty Cobb look like a truck horse on
the bags in comparison. Never in
his palmiest days did Cobb ever
display the base running class that
Milan has spilled and this in spite
Of the fact that Cobb is smuggling
at far more steady clip than his
little rival.
Milan Is Encouraged.
For the past several seasons
Milan has been good-far above
the average value of outfielder He
did not shine as this year simply
because he met with nothing like
the same encouragement Here's
the difference-the difference be-
tween a hopeless tailender and real
pennant possibility. That same
difference lifted ten years from the
stopped shoulders Of Griffith; has
made Walter Johnson take on q
new lease on life.
Washington stands out as a liv-
ing example of that degree to which
luck figures in the national pastime.
No one will deny Griffith was lucky
to get Washington and Washingtoa
likewise lucky to get Griff.

a CCORDING to the generally
~ accepted opinion, baseball has
always been, heretofore law
unto itself-a law fun of unaccount-
able eccentricity and vagary that
follows no set rule. Its creed was
most tersely expressed in a mod
est proverb of Harry c. Pulliam,
that still graces the wall of the
National league headquarters;
Take nothing for granted in base
ball"
The only exception to the capri
cious whims was Washington. This
habitual tailender of the American
league was a striking illustration
of one instance that could always
be taken for granted. The great
joke of the national pastime was
coined from it's humility: Wash
ington, first in war, first in peace
and last in the American league
race."

ton that proved the rule, Is now

magnates in New York and Gin

career Griff has charge of a club
free to direct its destinies. He was
handcuffed in New York and fet-

for outside advice Griffith is the

right but he was in baseball to
earn his salary-and all credit to
him that he did earn it, and more.
When Frank Galloway was draft
ed to the job of baseball president
it was an unsought honor The sal
airy didn't interest him. He could
make more With less worry out OF
his profes sion-the law. But he
was an enthusia site fan, was
friend of President Arkwright,
president of the then Georgia Rail-
way and Electric Company, owner
of the baseball franchise, and ne
decided to make the sacrifice for
the good OF the cause
Charles Nunnally, one OF Mr.. Call
laway's fellow directors, has had
hankering to get in baseball for
some time But not because he
needs the money, for hes doing
very nicely in the overall business,
thank you. He wanted to get in
baseball because he likes the game
and because he believes that a win
ming baseball team does more for
town than ten million spent for any
other form of advertising.
AS for Gus Ryan, the third d.
rector, he spends more annually for
cigarettes than he gets out of his
job. But he's just naturally a fan.
If he felt that he could help At
lanta toward a winning team as di-
rector, he'd pay for the privilege
Of holding the job.

ponder on their feelings as the

For they could make from two to
fifty times as much by putting the
same amount of time, worry and

Goodness knows all three of them
can be absolved from any blame
for the lamentable showing of the
Crackers. Heaven knows WHAT
is the matter with them, but what
ever it is it isn't the directors fault.
They have done all that men could
do. They took the jobs, not know
ing much of what was expected of
them; but they have served eff
