~HICAGO, Dec. 20.-Is Ty
Cobb. the wonderful out
fielder Of the Detroit Tigers,
a great judge Of ball players? Or
even a good Judge?
Charles w. Murphy, president of
the Cubs. answers No" At the
first jump you might get the i'm
preston that the West Side mag
nate was belittling the Georgia
Peach. But you read and you will
discover that President Murphy
says that it is the greatness of the
wonderful outhelder which ruins
him as a Judge
The conversation came up like
this: President Murphy was back
from New York and naturally was
discussing the big trade which he
put over there. AS matter of
fact, the name of Red" Corridor
came up. President Murphy said
that every man that he had talked
TO about Corridor has proclaimed
him - great young player with two
exceptions. One was William
Grayson, one time president of the
Colonels. The other was Tyrus
Cobb, the great 6utfelder. Gray
sons opinion was quickly disposed
Of
Does Cobb think Corridor is
not a great prospect? President
Murphy was asked.
Thinks Well of Corridor.
He does was the answer.
We'll, didn't that have ten
dency to sour you upon the young
ster?" the West Side magnate was
asked.
1T did not" was the answer.
"And I'll tell you why. Cobb is the
greatest ball player in the game
today We in the National league
admit that. That puts me away on
the right foot No one can say
that I have a light regard for the
playing ability of this wonderful
player. But 1t Is his very great
ness which counts against him
when it comes to judging another
player.
Take Cobb at the bat. He
stands up there a perfect batter.
His swing is perfect. He has a
wonderful eye. Cobb knows how to
bat, There is no blufing, no four
flushing about him. He knows His
is the correct way. Without think
ing of himself, he sees the faults
in the other mans position at the
plate.
In his mind he doesn't argue
that the other fellow isn't a good
batter because he doesn't bat like
Cobb. But knowing how. he does
see only the faults. Therefore he
jumps at The conclusion that the
other fellow isn't a great PLAYER
because he does things which Cobb
knows to be wrong.
Take a youngster on the bases
and have him judged by Cobb, and
what happens? The youngster is
condemned. Here is what happens:
Cobb knows how to run the bases
He knows how to get lead. He
knows when 10 start. He knows
how to go into a base: he knows
how to slide. He knows the cor
rect method Of stealing. Maybe

There are three of these new

New Bosses May Break

There will be four new managers
in the National league next year.
They are George Stallings. VINO will
lead the Boston Pilgrims; johnny
Evers. who VIII direct the destinies
Of the Chicago Cubs; Joe Tinker
who viii try and put Cincinnati on
the baseball map, and Miller Hug
gins, who will lead the st. Louis
Cardinals.
These men may make baseball
history in the old league. Chance.
Clarke and McGraw have had u
monopoly on the National league
pennants since 1901. Chance will
lead the New York Yankees next
season, but can any one of the new
leaders in some way help to cause
the downfall of the Giants or the
Pirates?

he has figured it all out, and mavbe
1t comes to him by intuition. Now
he doesn't say. This fellow isn't
base stealer because he doesn't
slide like I do
Not Best at Sliding.
What he does say is This fell
low isn't good base runner be-
cause he doesn't know how to slide
The difference is this: The fellow
may not know as much about base
stealing as Cobb does, but at the
same time he knows so much more
than the average player that he
ranks under the head Of the good
ones.
IT'S so in every department Of
the game. Cobb knows how and
the youngster knows 1t In a. lesser
degree. The one is absolutely sure
OF himself and the other wabbIes.
Corridor doesn't measure TO the
Cobb standard. At the same time
we think he is destined to be
great ball player. It's only natura.
that we should have preferred Cobb
to have a high opinion Of tha
youngster. But at the same time
we are not discouraged by the fact
that Cobb doesn't like him, and for
the reason that Evers and 1 do not
believe that Cobb is a good Judge.
In no manner must that be con-
strued as rejecting upon the play
ing ability of the Detroit outfeldec.

The Cub boss is elated at the
deal which brought Corridor to the
West Side team and was telling
some of the opinions which he
heard expressed while In New

the American association with the
exception of Grayson declared that
Corridor was certain to become a

The Cub president went East
with the idea that Red" lacked ag-
gressiveness. He entertained no
such notion after talking to some
of the baseball men who saw him
in action last year. The claim now
is that the only weakness which
the youngster has is that he at
tempts to cover too much ground
and that in his anxiety to get hold
Of the sphere he fights it, Which
is often the fault OF a fast young
