Detroit ;has a player by the name of
Tyrus Raymond Cobb who has given
evidence before of passing excellence
at play.
He has looked good enough in other
years. But in the ten major league
campaigns that rest behind him, bar
ring possibly 1911, when he smashed
all records, Cobb has never delivered
such vast quantity Of general stuff
as he has been delivering this year.
He looks better than he has looked
in many Ia campaign upon keener
edge, and If he can maintain this
keenness to the finish the job of beat
ing out Detroit will be about all the
work Boston and Chicago can carry

very much beyond the club of a year

DUNDEE IS GIVEN
 AWARD OVER WELLS
Englishman Lands Often on Fighting ocotch-Wop-Big Crowd At
 Exhibition.

New Haven, Dec. 11.-The chilled a'niosphere ot the spacious Arena last night was animated by thirty rounds or tast milling that made up the card offered by the Italian Riverside A c Where an assem- blaze that total1od +o 4,o00 saw Johnny Dundee and Matt Wells batting 12 hard rounds and the consensus of opinion of those who at- tended the bouts gives a draw as the most popular decision, despite the fact that Dundee was in favor by the large IoloWlng that attended the carnival. Referee Fitzgerald gave Dundee the decision.
 Wells hit many clean blows and ms pest work came in the ninth and tenth with Dundee in the lead in the seventh and eleventh, with the re- manning rounds even. The semi-final was given to Johnnie Drummie of Jersey City over Dave Medar of New 1ork' in a fast ten round affair.
 Charley Berger scored victory over Phil Barbour of Waterbury in an eight-round session that was re- plete with fast work by both hovs Bergen gaining the decision by SCOT ing cleaner blows over the Brass Citv lad who displayed much gameness durlng the course of the bout. Many boxers were introduced who princi- pally occupied a stand in the ring for the purpose of hurling challenges to the contestants.
 Wells and Dundee. in the main go. are well known as aspirants for titu- lar honors. The boxes who were ori- glnally scheduled to make the 135,- pound limit at 6 o'clock, weighed un- der 133 pounds at that time, thereby settling matters on the weight uues- tlon. The boxers weighed in at Me- Crann's cafe. Wells entered the ring with his neck bandaged, covering three boils that were prominent Dun dee was applauded as he entered the ring.

The Greatest Fighter.

This seems to be the epoch of de- picting the greatest Picking the greatest football player only means an argument. Picking the greatest tennis player only starts a debate.
 Picking the greatest fighter is not the simplest of all propositions. Fighters run by weight divisions. It would hardly be fair to compare Bat Nelson with Jim Jeffries or Jess Willard. The only fair solution would be to measure fighting capacity by the pound.
 Using this process, the greatest fighting assay to the pound would be- iong to one of two men-Bob FItz- simmons or Kid Lavigne. You can take your choice. Possibly Lanky Bob had the edge, but Lavigne was close enough to the Freckled Marvel to get the best from his coming bene- fit. The Kid, above every other feature, had great heart for battle And a great heart is deserving of a proper reward

That good. old wooden driver It's worn and frayed and gray. Eut, holy Whiskers; how it sends A golf ball on it's way; Both distance and direction, It meets the hardest test So who can blame me if I love The old club best? Two hundred yards straight down the

GILMAN CHOSEN
 HARVARD CAPTAIN Big Tackle to Be Leader of t9t6
 Crimson Eleven

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 11.-Joseph A. Gilman of Honolulu was elected captain of the Harvard football team yesterday afternoon when the football letter men met at photographers stu dio for their annual group picture The varsity tackle has been a regular member of the team for two seasons. He played with the freshmen in 1919 and in 1913 made a regular place at tackle on the varsity. In 1914 he was ineligible but left Cambridge In the middle of the college year and re- turned to regular standing last fall.
 Gilman ranks among the greatest tackles He also rowed on his fresh men crew and played freshmen base ball. Last spring he was one of the pitchers of the varsity nine Gilman came to Harvard from Phillips Exeter academy.
 Dick Harte and c. Coolidge, end rushers, were candidates for the cap- taincy this year but neither made a real race against Gilman, whose eIec- tion was made unanimous after the usual secret preliminary. Gilman is 24 years old, weighs 1S9 pounds and is 6 feet F inches tall.
 The Harvard team next fall will pldy ten games instead or nine, Fred w. Moore, graduate treasurer of athletics, announced tonight The last five dates of the schedule have been settled as follows: oct. 2s, Cor nell; Nov. 4, University of Virginia: Nov. II, Princeton: Nov. IS, Brown: Nov. 25, Yale. These contests, except the Yale game, which reverts to the bowl at New Haven, will be played at the stadium.
 The first half of the schedule is still in the making, MT. Moore said. It has been decided that Pennsylvania State college will not be on the Harvard list next year. Tufts probably will take its place on Oct. '. Colby, University of Maine, and Massachusetts Agricul- tural college are other institutions which will probably obtain dates.
 Reports that the Harvard eleven would go to West Point for the other game developed no comment from MT. Moore. "T can neither confirm nor deny it," he said.

OUT ON TWO STRIKES.
Josh Clarke Fell Victim to FIalncr-
 tvs Peculiar Motion.


 Patsy Flaherty, who was with the White Sox a number of years ago, had trick of shooting a fast one over the plate. and on the return, shooting it like a rifle bullet to the bases, if men were on them.
 one day Josh Clarke was at the bat. Flaherty slipped over a speed hall and Clarke missed it by a foot. Quick as flash F'laherty shot the ball to first, after it was sent back to him, and almost caught the runner mapping.
 Flaherty wound up as if for throw to the plate but with a peculiar 1no- tion he had he shot it to first. Again he failed to catch the runer, but no sooner did the ball get back into his hands than he whizzled it over the plate for another strike.
 Flaherty got the ball again. made m lotion as if to throw it to the plate but shot it to first instead. And then Josh Clarke walked away from the plate.
 'Hev, where are you going?" de- manded the umpire.
 T struck out" said Josh.
 "You didn't strike out" retorted the arbitrator. "Only two balls were pitched to you."
 "I struck at those two, didn't Io" asked Josh.
 "Yes.''
 "Well, did you see the last one Flaherty threw over to first?" "Yes"
 ''Well, I struck at that one, +oo," answered John.
