Having the distribution of special

was one OF these who whispered OF
the marvellous ability OF the prairie

the Regent Hotel, where CantiIlon
was making his headquarters.
Cliff Bla1kenship. one of the WASH

forced leave of absence with frac-

him TO the alfalfa to take a look at

got to Idaho the more he heard of
the work of the pitcher, but when he
finally reached Weiser he found
that others were on the scent, and,

Ty Cobb Examines Results of
Contests Played by Mack
men and Can't Rejoice.
BY TY COBB.
(World's Greatest Batsman and ALL
Around Player.

1t certainly has amused me TO lis
ten to some of the comments of the
fans on the poor showing of the Ath-
ietics and Giants during April. A
lot of people have chortled with glee
over the reverses sustained by these
clubs, and especially in the first few
days of the season, and you would
think that both are destined to finish
iE the cellar instead of fighting for
the flags.
In the American League, if the
fans We're little more analytical,
they would find much cause for joy
in the defeats of the Macks. 1t is
true that the worlds champions
haven't looked any too good to date,
so far as the scores are concerned,
but have any of the fellows who hope
to see the Athletics beaten out in
the race noticed that they have been
getting a lot of frst-class pitching :?
Everybody has conceded that the
Philadelphia. clun can hit, and that it
has a wonderful fielding defense.
Add to this effective hurlirg, and you
have almost an unbeatable combina-
ton, haven't you?
The real reason for mosS of the
Athletics defeats 20 date has been
lack of batting, but that is only a
temporary condition and not real
defect. Sooner o" later the whole
bunch will begin to club the ball, and
when it does, look out. As a mem
ber of Il club which is going to fight
the Mackmrn this season, it would
please me more to see the Philadel-
phias winning games by scores of 10
10 . ard g TO 7 than TO b. losing them
or shut-outs, in which the other side
Only gets CEe or two tallies. So I
