BUCK O'BRIEN
TOUTS JOHNSON
Red Sox Twirler Declares
Walter Does Not Need
to Use Splitter"
OTHER SPORT COMMENT
Hugh Bradley, Boston First Baseman,
Tells of Johnson's Great Speed.
Ty Cobb Modest.
By WILLIAM PEET.

IF Walter johnson attempted to ADD
a spitbaII to his repertoire, declared
Buck O'Brien, the Red SoX twirler, last
night. he would lose a lot of his effect
iveness every time he pitched. and L ven
ture to say that it would take him four
or five years TO gain control
.'Of course" the Boston finger con-
tinued, johnson does not need to use
the splitter: his great speed makes him
lust as effective; but / venture to say
that should he try the moist fling, ne
would be sorry. In the first place ne
would have to develop an entirely new
set of muscles. I have beenNooling with
the spitball for the past eight years,
and could not control the thing until
two years ago"

New Workers being from the foul line

the Blue and Gray players.

came as a big surprise to the large
crowd which gathered to witness the
contest, being showed under last FriAAy

Ty Cobb's Modesty.

The fans have come to the conclusion
that for the wonderful ball player he
is Ty Cobb. of the Detroit team, is
modest
Cobb ncve~ made a play for motor
car 1ui he won a couple because they
We're given for something in which he
exceIled the world-batting. Advertisers
have been after Tyrus many times, but
he always smiles and refers them TO
the fact that he is a ball player, and
not an electric sign. One man chased
Cobb through three States, trying to get
Cobb to recommend a certain mineral
water. Ty smiled at first, then firmly
refused, and finally, when the man per-
sisted beyond all lines OF reason, Cobb
said: Say. l use water when l am
dirty. not thirsty" Bookmen have tag
ged after Cobb, especially when they dis
covered that he was good writer.
Everywhere Cobb goes they have little
bait stretched out for the greatest liv-
ing ball player" Is it any wonder that
at times he pecves a little or runs
amuCk once in awhile? Probably no
hall player has ever been paid the hom-
age that Cobb receives, and being an
Intelligent fellow, it bOres HIM. Tyrus
Raymond Cobb is a real modest ball
player-as well as the best in the world.

EARLY DUTCH ART.

4 loan exhibition held in Utrecht
adds considerably TO the light thrown
in recent years upon the beginnings of
Dutch painting. 1t is called IAN exhibit
ton of North Netheriand painting and
sculpture before 1873, and the collec-
ton derives great advantage from con-
centrating upon the subject defined by
that title The two hundred or so ex
hibits came strictly within it's scope,
and the paintings almost all may be
set down as important examples OF
Dutch primitive art. Many public and
nriYate collections have been drawn
upon. The museums in Utrecht deliv-
cred up much treasure, not only in Van
Scores, but also in the works of Jacob
Cornelisz and less known masters. 9th
er Dutch towns are lenders, and so are
Dresden, Cassel, Brunswick Rome, Liv-
erool, Danzig, Bonn, AK, Darmstadt,
Budapest and Cologne. The private
collections contributing are even more
widely spread.

nous painters of about the same peri
