 "A of the past may have ex- VW celled Try Cobb. the Geor-
 gia comet, in some par ticular branch of play, surely the game has never seen as daring or as rel sourceful a performer as the Detroit sIugger. This is Cobb's tenth year in the major leagues. and he is going at a faster clip this season than ever be- fore.
 Cobb Is leading the American league in batting just now with an enviable mark of .403. He. is also leading in stolen bases and in runs scored and many other branches of the game.
 Cobb Is irrepressib1e. He thinks just

a ball player simply through his nat uraI gifts. His rise is the result also of careful application to his work. He has always studied baseball, and when
 he had been recognized as the best player in the game he did not stop
 studying his line of business. That is

why he has been better year after year,
 and this season he has come to realize that his frequent absence from the game has not only injured the chances of his club, but also has interfered' with his own success, and he is attending to business more carefully than ever. He

has absolute confidence in his convic- tions. In other words, he depends but little on mechanical baseball. A lot of other players depend almost entirely l it and that is where he has the advan- tage of them.
 But Cobb has not become so great
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-06-26

There are many players fast as Cobb, and some who have as good an eye, or nearly as good an eye for hit ting, but they lack some of the things Cobb combines in his collection of as sets. Cobb thinks faster than most ball pIayers; thinks further ahead and

ideas OF an older man. The house
keeper and the servants were deferen-
tial to him. gave him everything he de-
sired without question and obeyed all
/ his orders.
I Every day Julia found the architect
! every one in the house SPOKE OF him
as the architect-more and more en-
gsging. A day which he spent in the
! city she was surprised to find a very
long one to her. When he returned
and they sat down together for dinner
she could not conceal her pleasure.
A week passed, at the end of which
building materials were brought into
/ the place and dumped beside the
house. The next day workmen came.
and the architect spent some time with
the contractor over diagrams. Julia
asked the former with beating heart
II he were going 70 superintend the
construction OF the additions. He
said he was and they would require at
least month. The housekeeper in
formed her that Miss Ashford and the
children would remain away until the
work was finished.
An attractive man of thirty i've shut
up IN the same house with girl Of
eighteen is not likely to have much
trouble in winning her. Before the
additions were finished the architect
had made havoc with poor little Julis's
heart She did not think Of marriage.
All she desired was TO I've on Just as
she was in the companionship OF this
delightful man.
But the architect was thinking very
much Of marriage He was a widower
so he told Julia-and very lonely
without 4 companion. He asked her
how she would like TO spend her life
where she was. to which she replied
that she would like 1t very much. es-
pecially If he were to continue making
additions to the house He saw through
this ingenious reply and. taking her
in his arms, told her that If she chose
she might remain there always and he
would remain also.
She did not press him for an explana-
ton. which he did not seem ready 10
give. She was happy and contented
and trusted him implicitly. A few
days later Miss Ashford returned with
the children and the latter jumped into
the architects arms, covering him with
kisses and calling him papa.
The next day he asked them II they
could bear 10 part with their govern.
ess, 10 which they replied that they
could not. whereupon he told them
that she was TO remain with them al
ways.
David Ashford had dreaded to come
to his home from which his wife had
gone forever. When he saw an attrac-
tive girl there the idea occurred TO
him TO keep her there. So he told the
housekeeper and the others to preserve
his incognito, and "the architect" be-
gan TO win the govsrness.
