IN our next SUNDAY MAGAZINE Ty Cobb
has an article on GOING AFTER THE

PITCHER. Everybody will admit, par
ticularly the pitchers he has faced, that Cobb
speaks with authority. No player has ever
gone after pitchers with such consistent and
overwhelming success; for the records show
Ty Cobb to be the greatest batter that ever
lived.
Not only is he a terror to all pitchers he
has played against, with one exception (thc
batting champion says frankly that no one
can hit Walter Johnson Of the Washington
team, but he is equally dangerous when he
is on the bases. His fitting from one to an
other isn't 50 much matter Of physical as Of

THERE is a love story in our next issue. 1t
isn't an old-fashioned love story; in fact,
it is a highly original kind Of love story, which
will puzzle YOU in the beginning Maybe it
will keep YOU guessing to the very end.
It will be something Of a shock to have
fine man declare straight ont that he is in love
with the wife # one Of his good friends. and
later to have this same wife urge the man
who isn't her husband TO make love to her.
OF course YOU can read stories ike this if YOU
