"But Milan set new record for
base stealing last year." persisted the

good or as dangerous man on the
base paths as Cobb" returned the
Tigers assistant manager. MILAN is
unquestionably one of the fastest men
in the major leagues and he earned
all of the bases he stole last season,
but Milan gets on first often and has
more chances to steal second-the
popular stealing point-than Cobb.
Cobb stretches a lot Of hits that to
Milan would be singles. Cobb, there
fore, is on second base and it is the
general opinion that 1t is harder to
steal third than it is second, for the
reason that the catcher has shorter
and better throw. The records will
show that Cobb gets many more dou
bles than Milan, and each one of these

TOMBSTONE A STAR PITCHER
Umpire, Who Could Not Agree With
President Tom Lynch, Was Once
With Grand Rapids Team.

Jim tombstone, who left the Ma
tional league umpire staff because ne
could not work in harmony with Pres
ident Tom Lynch, and who has been
making such a hit in the American
association this season, became a
handler of the Indicator by chance.
Back in 1894, when Charlie Comis-
key had the st. Paul club In the old
Western league, which later developed
into the American league through the
pushing tactics of Ban Johnson, the
late Matt Killilea, Connie Mack and
Charlie Somers, there was young
ster, husky one, pitching for the
same "Commy." 1t was Jim john
stone and he was twirling some swell
games those days, for the pitchers had
to deliver for Comiskey, as he carried
only small staff then. He went along
nicely, but later was shifted to Grand
Rapids, Mich, Deacon Ellis having
made dicker with Comiskey for him.
After working for the Deacon for
quite a time, tombstone joined the
Newark team of the Eastern league
and later drifted to the Pacific coast,
where the playing season extended to
eight months instead of four and a
half and five, as was the case those
days While on the coast Jim was
taken down with malaria and from a
strapping young man Of 200 pounds
he was reduced to 140 pounds, and
thought it was all over with Jeems
but the flowers. 1t was a hard fight
but the warm climate finally began to
benefit him and he gained slowly. He
was too weak to get into the game
and pitch any, but one day 1t was sug-
gested that he might help himself by
umpiring bit.
Jim thought over the matter and
wondered how he would fare against
some Of the rough ones If he made a
rotten decision, but finally he decided
to take a chance and he did. He UNI
pired a game for two teams and got
through so well that he gained cour-
age. With his daily exercise came
back his strength and it was not long
before he was back to his old form.
His umpiring had been success. He
received offers from managers to get
back into the harness again as a
pitcher, but after thinking the matter
over he determined to stick to the in
dicator. He soon had an offer from
the big league and remained there for
number of years, the break coming
with President Lynch last fall.
1T might have been my luck to be-
come a $4,000 pitcher" said Jim
while talking shop one night, "but l
guess l am just as we'll off as one of
the umpire brigade, for / will last
longer this way"
