end Of the eighth period. but two hits IN

are concerned. McGraw's team was not

the Dodgers. who were expected to be

Ty Cobb has announced that he will

Maisel and Milan. Though Cobb was
the boss sack snatcher Of the American

have no ambitions in that direction
just now. But Ty does not take this
stand because he has slowed up. He
contends that he is just as fast as he
ever was. Cobb argues that he can be
of more value to his team by not de-
pending too much in stealing bases,
which endangers his limbs and might
put him on the hospital list. He says
that of course any time it is essential
