Mike Gibbons continues to be q pux-'

on which way o choose to regard

middleweight class? It looks as
though the latter Is likely to be the
case. It's about time that Michael

await him If he will set sail for the

welters of the present day. as none of
them is able to draw a corporal's guard

not so foolish after all when the fact
is considered that he would not find a
welterweight class. whereas there are
plenty in the lightweight brigade.

COBB TO RECEIVE
HIS USUAL SALARY

Detroit. Mich. Special: In signing
contracts for 1914 to the Tigers. Pres
ident Navin let 1t be known that Ty
Cobb's called for the same salary that
he received last year, and that 1t was
for one year only. But he did not
make public how much that salary is.
The figure, 10000. has been reiterated
so nan times i'm the last nine months
hat this is generally accepted as the
true Indication of what Ty draws down.
Mr.. Navin and Cobb both have pub
mutually satisfactory terms while at
the worlds series last October. Cobb
is satisfied because he admits that he
did not play in his best form last sea-
son. and MI. Navin. Of course. is at
isfied not to have another holdout on
his hands. The one-year term is just
to keep the situation in statu quo while
Cobb demonstrates whether he has
anything new to show.

not sad over the action of Tinker. He
is John ]. McGraw. The passing Of
Tinker gives McGraw added likeli-
fourth straight pennant. a better
chance to do a thing that no manager
in modern baseball ever has been able
to accomplish. Tinker's going once
more makes the Giants look like the
best bet for h g%onfalon. with the
Phillies. Cubs and Pirates providing the
competition.
Don't lay any 100 to 1 that Johnny
Killing will not play ball again during
the coming season. The writer was
in Kansas City last week and had a
few word with the great catcher of
the old Cubs, who now is under re-

know how it is" he said. THE old lure
is likely to catch me around signing
time. although l have no intention just
now Of ever playing again. The Fed
erals? Nc. Tinker and Brown and
some Of the other boys have gone over
to them. but if I play at all it will be
with the old league. I am doing we'll
enough with my billiard room here to
be able to resist any financial offer the
Federals might make, and il / should
play it would be only for the sake OF

What in the world had become of
Connie Mack and the Athletics? In the
midst Of all the talk and noise about
this player and that, this club and that
and other winter league things, hardly
a word has there been from any MEM
Der of the worlds champions. Occa-
sionally there will appear a little item
telling that one Of the players arrived
at his home here to spend the rest OF
the OFF season with his folks" but that
has beer about the extent OF it. While
other clubs keep we'll up in the lime
light through trades and such. the
Athletics somehow manage to stay in

Mack believes that a baseball team
should play baseball-and that is about
all his team does. Yes, that's about all.
