There seems to be something more
than cleverness and brains in Ty
Cobb's ball playing. kind of subcon-
scious force that causes him to do ex-
actly the right thing, make exactly
the right play and at exactly the
right instant He seems to play ball
by instinct and probably he has SUR
ptised more bah players than any man
that ever played the game
Scarcely a day passes but that the
Georgia Peach" does something UNI
usual. He makes watching baseball
a pleasure because he does the I'M
expected and makes play out of a
seeming impossibility. He pulled of
one recently that astounded the crowd
and puzzled every one until they had
time to figure 1t out And some Of
them still are. scratching their heads
and wondering what happened.
The Detroit team was losing. but
was batting hard and still had hopes
of winning the game They were
three runs behind in the seventh inn
ing and Cobb led of with a clean safe
drive to center, good for one base.
It was not the situation for hunt or
a steal and Of course Detroit played
the old run and hit game and Veach
slapped the ball down toward second.
The second basemen scooped the
ball to his right, so that he had to
recover to be in position to throw to

the temperament of man who will
weaken because the victory or defeat
means a whole lot to him, personally,
in financial way, and to his club De-
cause of its reputation.
George Burns received training on
the Giants bench for a year before
getting 6: regular berth. McGraw
would put him in to run for some one
occasionally, or he would let him
play for an inning or two to finish a
game which was hopelessly lost or
certainly won In this way he got &C
customed to things so that when he
began this year with a team that
faces the biggest crowds in the coun-
try it was not like a recruit going to
work, but like veteran picking up
where he had left off. H.
Burns Gains in Steadiness.
Burns is not rated as good batter
as 0ldring. He is Just as sure in the
field and a better base runner, be-
cause he is faster. The young left
fielder is one of the fastest men on
the club and is handy base runner
besides. He is a very dangerous
young fellow to have on the paths.
He can cover lot of ground on a
short hit and is hard, smooth slider
when the question of his arrival is
close: He is difficult man to touch,
seeming to come by the fallaway slide
naturally. .-..
When Burns first broke in with the
Giants this season he displayed some
slight nervousness, as is bound to be
evidenced by any bush Lacquer when
he starts to play before the crowds
which attend major league battles. 1t
is due to the different conditions that
many players always remain stars in
the minors. Lots of men have had
their opportunities with the big show,
only to fall back into the minors
again as useless. They break loose
in the bushes like a million dollars
once more and some other big league
manager believes his rival has over
looked a bet in returning the young
ster and takes him up. Again he pulls
boots and fails to bat and is returned
to the Sticks"
There are numerous players of this
type. l could reel off 90 names, but
they are names few of my readers
would recognize, because they are
those of men who have failed to make
good and have been stars only in the
minors. The same type of persons
exists in all walks of life. They can
be stars only in the minors.
