Detroter With Late Start Aims Sticking Around 500 Mark

CLEVELAND. Ohio. May 8.-As

wouldn't think that the Georgia Peach
would have any serious idea of batting
more than 800 on the seasons work.
But that's Ty's aim. and today he's
Just at the 800 mark. no more and
no less. Ty has always been known as

belief that he will bat $50 or better.
That means hit every other time he
comes to bat. knocking of the bases On
balls and sacrifices.

ion that Walter johnson would get
through the 1913 season without being
defeated
Cobb's desire for 800 batting aver

pitcher. but Ty may come through with
whether Cobb does or not there's no

in the past the demon Tyrus is better
now than ever. Never in his career
has he batted at such a clip as he is
now going. And never in his career
has he shown such startling work on
the bases and such brilliant work in the
field
Cobb has announced that he intends
to lead the American League in stolen
bases despite that he did not report TO
the Tigers until nineteen days after the
season opened. That's a tough job even
for Tyrus Not only is he up against a
marvellous base-runner in Clyde Milan.
of the Nationals, but also missed four
teen games played by Detroit before he
Joined. That's equivalent to spottins
Milan fourteen games. and Cobb will
have to smash all records to beat Clyde
in the total of stolen bases. Moreover,
Cobb is on a tail-endd team and Milan
is on a winner. The difference means
a whole lot in base stealing. for once
team is three or four runs behind
IL 10 baseball to try to steal And
the Tigers are going to be three or
four runs behind a whole lot oftener
than the Nationals.
And then Milan has II on Cobb thus
far in percentage Of stolen bases. Clyde
already has averaged $50 stolen bases

But after all. there Is only one Tyrus,
and he seems to be getting better year

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 2s-If
"Zeb" Milan. the Linden flyer. cham

League for 1913. and star outfielder with
the Climbers. continues his present
career on the sacks. he will easily set
up new record for stolen sacks when
he walks OF the field on October in
Washington. In slightly more than six
weeks he has stolen twenty five bases.
The season has yet to run more than
four months. Thus 1t IL easy to see that
1t Is possible for Milan to pilfer more
than q hundred cushions during the
present campaign All he has to do
Ii to keep moving at his present pace.
Since this trip got under way April

got one stolen base each day, two on
