EASTERN BANKERS HOPEFUL
Resources Increased and Assistance
From Europe Assured.

Chicago, June 1S.--John j. Mitchell
Just returned from New York, reports
more hopeful feeling among the
bankers of the East than was notice,
able a short time ago.
Il gained the impression" said Mr.
Mitchell, that bankers in New York
felt more certain Of getting assistance
from Europe in case Of need this fall
than they have felt before. They
have built up their own reserves con
siderably and some that have not
been making time loans for a long
while have resumed that kind of lend

Ty Cobb Plays Colby Having
Caddy Pitch the Ball To Him
Star Batsman of the American League Is Unable to Tee
From Small Mound of Sand, but Drives the
Pellet ga Mile or More" When It
Comes Up on Bound.

a TLANTA, Ga, Dec. 6.-Tyrus
a Cobb. the Georgia peach, has per
L \ feeted a new system of driving
golf ball.
Instead of teeing it up on a little
mound of sand, gluing his eye on it
and swatting it, Tyrus prefers to have
his caddy pitch the ball to him in such
a way that it sails along very close to
the ground or else strikes the ground
in front of him and bounces up an inch
or so
The first and final rule for every
other golfer in the world except TyruS
Cobb is to keep the eye on the ball.
But Tyrus having got his prelimi-
nary golf training in the American
league, where all pitchers look more or
less alike to his batting timber, is not
accustomed to keeping his eye on the
ball.
AS he says, ball player at the bat
doesn't keep his eye on the ball or
even try TO. That is. keeping his eye
on the bail is not the thing that en-
ables him to connect
Shouldn't Try to See Balls
a man hits a baseball by instinct"
says Tyrus. He sees the ball leave
the pitcher. OF course Cul ne doesn't
try to keep his eve on it right up to
the moment of hitting it. If he did,
his batting average would be minus
zero or. thereabouts. A man hits by in
stinct in the game of baseball"
And so it was the element of instinct
that interfered with Tyrus when he
took up the royal and ancient game Of
golf
Keeping his eye on the ball didn't
seem to help him a little bit He
seemed to connect better if he would
locate the ball, as you might say. let
his batting eye wander where it would,
and turn loose.
Then, one day, quite by accident (as

1t seems peculiar, but nevertheless
fact, that a mere novice will make
champion look anything but a title
holder, at times. Bob MOha, the Mil
waukee middleweight, is hard to box,
that Is for some, because he IS so

else. He can make the weight all
right, and his standing in pugilism
certainly entities him to consideration
While il is true Freddy did not show up
so well in a bout with local young

top form was more than likely due TO
lax training Then, again, this young

Of his great skill with the gloves may
be gathered from the fact that ne has
met Mcfarland three times in limited
round matches and has twice drawn

Would Be Good Match.
Ritchie and Welsh ought to put up
fast and interesting exhibition. There
are those who profess to believe that
the Americans artillery would prove
the undoing of the British champion
but it should not be forgotten that
Welsh is one of the very few boxers
who holds a verdict over Richie. OF
course, you say that happened two years
ago when Welsh was at top form and
Willie had barely graduated from the
preliminary class, but just the same II
is down there in the record books in
black and white as a victory for the
English champion.
Don't imagine I am "tOuting' Welsh
to lick Richie. I'm not. do not
think there is legitimate lightweight
in the game who could get better
Than the small end of a purse in a dis
lance bout with Willie, although in
1O-round affair Welsh might OutpOint
him. Tt is no easy task to get to

hit upon this system.
The thing is still-thats why you
can't hit" remarked a baseball fan,
an admireF of CObb's prowFess with the
old hickory. If you had somebody
pitching to you, you'd hit it a mile"
said this friend, as they were driving
off the first tee.
The idea caught Tyrus between the
eyes.
Get out there, eaddy, and throw me
the ball" he commanded, which invita-
ton the caddy accepted with alacrity-
Throw it low" said Tyrus, so I can
catch it with the face Of my club"
The caddy bent way over, as a kid
does when "skeeting' flat pebbles over
the water and delivered to the famous
champion batsman of the American
league a beautiful fast one.
Tyrus missed, tried another, and the
second time he caught the ball right
on the nose with the exact center OF the
face of his club.
1t went about a mile.
Golf is ravaging the ranks of the
ball players, same as all other ranks"
he remarked. ''And it's one great game.
You dub around the course until you
get to the 18th tee, and by that time
you have promised yourself to give
away yours clubs and swear off Then
you hit one right, play a beauty
iron shot, pitch right up to the mole,
and maybe sink a four, if you are lucky.
And the next day you can hardly wait
to get started again. Right you are.
