ing rather poor form that is character
istic of the fencing of most of the col
lese teams, the foismen representing Uni
versity of Pennsylvania went down to de-
feat at the hands of the Annapolis mid
shipmen this afternoon. The score was 4
bouts to >.
In fact, the MGd;es entered the match
with practically substitute team as
neither Gray nor Dunn, the strongest of
the regulars engaged in the bouts. The
contest was really a tryout of the three
men who did participate, as it is under
stood that the selection of third man
for the Navy team will be made from
those three. And the fact that the Penn
sylvanians were defeated, virtually by a
substitute team, would indicate that An

BY BILLY EVANS.

Star bail players are usually piPilclehl
in ali branches of the game, yet they eN-
Gel in one certain line. Among the play
e,s ard fans they are given credit Tor
beins; the premier at doing certain things.
1t is interesting to note wherein nGm-
Der or the stars shine.
! Take Tyrus Cobb. for instance. There is
no denying that Ty Is the class as Il
J fielder. he is one Of the greatest base run
ners the game has ever produced, but IT Is
at the plate that he is seen to the best
advantage There is little he can't do
with the bat. Opposing pitchers always
are mighty glad when the Cobb-Crawford
combination has been passed without any
fence crashing. The greatest respect IS
accorded these two great Tiger batsmen
by every twir!er in the American League.
4 have often heard Hushey Jennings
say TIA, he never SAW Il man in his ca
reer who was az dangerous at the bat as
Cobb. That is broad assertion when
YOU consider that Lajoie, Magee, Craw-
ford, Wagner. Speaker and a number of
the old-time boys could hit the ball.
Hughey delights i'm seeing Cobb step to
the plate in pinch. He knows the OPP
posing pitcher is much worried, while he
insists that such situations do not bother
Tyrus in the least.
What makes Ty such dangerous man
in a PINCH says Hughey, rs that he has
as much confidence in his ability with two
strikes on him as when he steps to the
plate
Cobb Works Pitchers.
While ommenting on Cobbs ability to
hit the bail. it may be in -eresting TO many
to know that Cobb has defective eyesight.
"Qu;, your kidding" is perhaps what the
reader is thinking after reading that
statement. but il is ruth. Have you ever
to the left as he faces the pitcher? Cobb
suffers from slight astigmatism. The
slight cooking of his head rights his vi
sion American League twirlers are
mighty glad there is something wrong
with Cobbs sight, or some of them would
surely be looking for new berths.
No great batter is able to tell how Cobb
turns the trick. ! have often heard peo-
pie ask that question: and Ty's reply is
inva riabfy the same. Il get one L like and
then crash INTO it There is no doubt
that much of CObb's success lies in a
truth contained in that short statement
and then hits it. Cobb has wonderful
eye. every American League umpire will
youch for that He hits at fo4s<bad balls
When he does il is usually because he has
made up his mind to hit a the next one,
or has given the hit and run sign. Bat
tiers will tell You when they once make
up their mind to take a crack at the next
one. Il is well nigh impossible to keep
away from it, no matter how faulty 1t
may be.
| Pitchers, we'll aware of Cobb's ability.

1t would be an excellent idea If the
Game Protective Association OF which
Mai Sylvester is the head. and the FOCAL
Audubon Society could devise some metl-
Cd to exteIminate the pests "nlch pre-!
upon our local birds. Some years ago a
sportsmen's association in Luzerne
county, Pa, offered prizes for those
killing the greatest number OF these
vermin. When the scores were turned in
the following number had been killed: pa
skunks. II foxes, Ii, weasels. 10 mnks,
S. hawks and owls. In points each
skunk or fox counted :, hawk and mink ,.
weasel 81. and owl 1. Many would object
to foxes being dest royed. although they
are undoubtedly one of the worst enemies
of birds. In the scale of points given
above hawks and owls are rated too low.
Washington owners have not figured
conspicuously on the field trial circuits Tor
some years, but in the future the names
of their dogs will certainly appear more
frequently. Among those who will have
entries next year liz Mr.. George b. Schad-
man of Rhode Island avenue. Mr.. Schad-
man lost his five-brood bitch last fall,
but he has two fine sets of puppies out
of his bitch Dinah Whitestone by, Free
Lance. Mr.. Schadman has eight of these
puppies in the hands of trainers, and has
some excellent reports of them. Two OF
the younger litter will run in the next
futurity and other derbies of next fall,
while an older one will run al tho all
age stakes He has just bred one Of his
young bitches to Rolla Heikes and enter
ed her in the 1914 futurity. SO he evidently
expects to continue in the game.

PAX

Democrats CT Hawaii are no more united on
any plan Ct protest to Washington against the
appointment Of l.. +. Pinkham as governor than
they have been united On any candidate for the
executive chair.
No organized protest rs likely TO develop here,
though very probably the committee on Pacific
Islands and Porto Rico will hold up the appoint
ment while Bourbonism Of the party forever
kind is blowing off steam to vent its wrath at
the handing Of piece of patronage to one who
is not an active party worker. Confirmation of
Mr. Pinkham may not be SPEEDY, but it is almost
certain TO come Senator john Sharp VIII
liams Of Mississippi and Senator yardaman. his
fiTeeatiDg colleague, will naturally feel called
upon to view with alarm the naming of anyone
but dyed-in-the-wool Bourbon for the import
ant post of governor of Hawaii After steam
has been duly blown off and all the protests and
kicks are in, the Wilson organization will be
badly needed by these same senator's to secure
coveted posts for their own political creditors,
and they will calm down considerable in
time to confirm Mr.. Pinkham Such, at least is
a good guess just now.
We do not believe there is any merit in pro-
test against Mr.. Pinkham at this time nor do we
believe protest would be successful And ii
will merely serve to embitter the opening of his
administration.
Hawaii has had enough of fighting over the
gcyernorship.
