"Applied Speed" Counts.

Perhaps it would be more accurate to
say that applied speed is what major
league managers desire now. There are
a number of extremely fast men in both
circuits who are poor baserunners be-
cause they do not know how to make the
most of their talents. Davy Jones, of
the Tigers. once as speedy runner as
base ball boosted and even now able to
hasten considerably, never has been a
path-burner because he never has learn
ed the proper time to go.
In foot race there probably would
not be one Yards difference in 100 be-
tween Jones and Cobb. yet the Peach
steals sacks by the score, while 1t IS
something Of an event when the chemist
snags one. Another case is that of Joe
Jackson the shoeless slugger of the
Maps. There is no doubt that Joseph can
hit Any pitcher who has faced him
will remove any lingering doubts to the
contrary if YOU ask him. Considering
only ability to pound the ball. Joe ranks
very close to Cobb. and the Clevelander
probably can run almost as fast as TyruS.
Yet, to compare Jackson and Cobb in
general playing abb ity and value 10 a
club is ridiculous.
The Nap iams out a base hit. and when
he gets to fist he is through. immo-
diatey descending to the level of me
diocrity The Peach connects for a sin
gle and is just beginning to be dangerous.
Jackson is likely to stay on d bag
week unless somebody happens to move
MIN along with hit or sacrifice. while
if you don't watch Tyrus carefully he
will be on third before the pitcher can
deliver three balls.
Cobbs is applied speed: Jacksons
the only sort Of swiftness possible when
a siX-cylinder pair Of legs is handicapped
by a one-cylinder brain.

ing a lot of trouble and getting people

Right here in Detroit the demand for
speed has resulted in the sacrifice of some
good batters. Take Jim Delahanty, Tor
