1t is a lot of money for ball player
sometimes-but not, 1t seems, for Mr.
Cobb who is giving his employee a
whole lot of good, solid baseball in
return. That's the answer to sue
cess of any kind-giving the best you

lures who refuse to do and who stand
in the way of the doer that event
ually fail, although they might be on
top, apparently, for the moment. 1t
is the same in business as it is in
baseball-the man on the job gets
the dough- Cobb is there and he is
worth all his hire calls for. The pity
is. though, his employer is not nearly
sufficiently rewarded.

Rupe Mills, former Barringer High
boy, is playing with the nine. And
furthermore. Mills has been display
ing an article of baseball that has
attracted the attention of every scout
in the country, our own Larry Sutton

that Mills is with the team and Joe
Byrne, jr., and Hardy Bush, other
Newarkers, are his college chums
local interest would be aroused. but
particular and general interest is at
tracted to the capabilities of Notre
Dame through it's defeat Monday OF
the Penn State College nine by the
score of to 3. 1t was the Pennsyl-
vanians first overthrow of the sea-
son, and Notre Dame, strong as she
is, was not e-ipected to do the trick.

From records kept and now at
hand, Mills is doing great work for
his college team Naturally a first
baseman, he is playing in the field
but he is doing so well there that no
one would know but that outfielder
was his best position. So far, Notre
Dame has played nine games, and in
them Mills has hit for five home
runs, one of which is said to have
been the longest ever seen on that col
lege's diamond. Mills is undoubtedly
wonderful young ball player, ano
if he SO elects he will very likely
make the big Show before long
From various sources have come al
Turing offers for the boys services
but while the rumor that he hac
signed with Pittsburgh was sem
broadcast a few days ago, it ha:
been learned since that no such thing
has taken place. The boy, from al
accounts, intends to complete his col
Iege career, after which he will likely
join some big league club-mayb'
Pittsburgh.
With Notre Dame in the East fol
several games, there is a keen desire
on the part of many Newarkers, es-
pecially those who have relatives anc
friends attending the college, to SEE
the ball club play. An excellent OPP
portunity is to be afforded all, fol
Notre Dame meets Fordham in New
York on Friday and arrangements
have been made to attend the game
by a number of automobile parties.
Any room?

The performance of Donald Lip
pincott and young Patterson in the
Pennsy games at Philadelphia yes
terday, when both boys did 9 As Sec
onds for the 100 yards, is worth spe-
cial mention in several ways. In the
first place, they ran side by side for
the entire distance, finished as one
man and so close that the officials
were unable to separate them. Ac.
cording to reports from Phifla, the
day was still and no wind helped tht
runners in their fight. In which CASE
| it must be taken that Lippincott ant
| Patterson have in them more speed
than has been shown by any othel
athlete this year. Lippincott is not {

high honors, and he has been a con
sistent runner ever since the frs

The surprise then was considerable
it must be admitted when Don, a

Sullivan's All-American athleti
team. To put it mildly, it was sur
