Ty COBB PRAISES
MARTY KAVANAGH
Worlds Premier Batsman Says
Harrison Lad Is Natural Bat
ter and Second Baseman.

Ty Cobb's interest in the Detroit
team and its prospects is best shown
by his presence In Gulfport, Miss,
and his willingness to take part in
all the practise work. The famous
Georgian Is not loafing these days.
He wants to be in the best OF shape
right at the beginning of the sea-
son and he is doing everything with
in his power to get in physical fix.
Here is what he thinks of the 1914
team:
''Kavanaugh, Burns, Purtell,
Baker, Covalesli and j. Il. Williams
look particularly good to me. Burns
is nay idea of a ball player. 1t isn't
SO much what he does, but the way
he accomplishes things and his
quickness of perception. He is keen
to take advantage of a situation, and
no false move of the opposition es-
capes him.
Burns is quick witted, is fast for
a big man and he Is going to be q
real major league ball player, Baker
is a promising young fellow. He is
a good hitter, is fast on his feet, a
very clever thrower and a man who
watches the other teams play all the
time.
"Purtell is one of the finest field
ers / have ever seen. When Billy
was in the majors before he was
rated as tho best fielder and third
baseman in the American League
and he has certainly lost none of his
ability. Now he can hit, and he is
going TO be a regular as sure as
you're born.
"CoyaleslSi is fine pitcher, while
KaVanaugh has been showing a lot
Of natural ability as a second base
man. Kayanaugh is a good hitter;
he has a good eye and he follows the
plays as closely as any second base
man / have ever seen. The other
day against New Orleans he went to
third and took a throw, catching a
runner. This shows that he is con-
tinually on the Job and when you
have a second baseman backing up
every possible play you have a man
who encourages and strengthens your
whole team.
We're going to be in that pennant
fight this year-mark my words"

Johnny Evers, the man who cost
Charley Murphy his job in Chicago
and the serappy second baseman who
will captain the Boston Braves in the
National League campaign this sea
son. has a son who seems to be a
chip of the old block. Johnny. jr.,
despite the fact that his dad is now
a Stallings follower. is true to his old
love, and is still wearing the Chicago
Cubs uniform, as he did when his
father was the mainstay of the once
famous Chance machine. Johnny
jr., will not give up the old uniform,
for he says that he likes the Teddy
Bear better than the Indian Brave.
The youngster is having the time
of his life In the training camp of
the Braves at Macon, Ga, and is out
for practise with his dad every day.
He is quite a ball player. too, and the
accompanying picture shows Papa
Evers coaching the youngster. EVers,
ST., wants TO be sure that when
Evers jr., is old enough to play ball
he will know the game from every
angle. The boy is a pocket edition OF
his father, and grows more like him
every day.
