EMciency's Star
Tyrus Raymond Cobb
In Just One Game

Ty!
Having now told the complete
story of the defeat of those Yanks
by score of to 0 in a ball game
up at the Polo Grounds, we will just
tack on a few details of the game
itself to fill out this space, and GO
long.
The details of the game are as
follows:
Cobb, Tyrus r.
Born Narrows, Banks County, Ga,
Dec. IS, 1886; height 6 feet, weight
178 pounds; bats left and throws
right handed. First professional
engagement, Augusta, Ca, 1904.
Major league engagement, Detroit,
1905.
He had some of the Detroit people
with him at the Polo Grounds, did
this Tyrus R. Cobb; he had Wahoo
Sam Crawford and Hughey Jennings,
and several others along with him to
keep him in the act of defeating the
Yanks, but their participation in the
pastime was purely incidental to the
efforts of T. K. himself.
Listen to what he did:
He personally scored two of the
Tiger runs and drove in the other
He got a triple and single, and
stole brace of bases, including the
well-known home plate. He's a regu-
lar Tycobb, that fellow; regular
Tycobb. When he came busting home
in the ninth, Mr.. James Johnston, the
well-known fistic impresario, who
has been hearing a lot about the
quarrels at the P. G., and went uI
there in search of new talent fol
some of his shows, sighed heavily
and remarked:
"Say, l believe he'd draw well with
Coffey."- York American.

Oxfords Again
Come From Behind
And Win Close Game

The Oxford A. C. won last Sundays
game by what may be termed another
streak of good fortune; it is true that
their recent games have been won in
the same manner, but the novelty of
their victories furnish plenty of good
sport and excitement for the throngs
that go to the Playground every
Sunday afternoon to see the game.
Sundays game was with the Park
View A. C.
The Oxfords entered the eighth
inning with five runs while the visit
ors had thirteen. Good stick work
by the Outsiders in this inning Melted
them seven runs. Perraud, the Ok
ford pitcher, left the box in the
seventh, suffering from a wrenched
arm; his place was taken by Long
Jack Wellbank, who made a credit
able howing, giving the Park Views
only one hit in the remaining innings.
Cliffside scooped another run in the
ninth tying the score; in the tenth
they fished in another one and con-
cluded the game in a blaze of glory.

dence we may have in the statements
of Collector Malone and other wit
nesses that the Lusitania carried no
cannon, that evidence is not yet, ex-
cept by hearsay, in the possession of
Germany. If she has knowledge or
belief to the contrary, the right is GER
tainly hers, as the defendant in the
case of a specific charge, TO call TOR
the proof that the Lusitania was real
ly unarmed.
1t is easy to characterize this as
dilatory tactics, or evasion, or petit
Jogging over a non-essential. But it
is not non-essential, for the unnamed
character of the ship is essential to
the justice of our demand. 1t is not
evasion, for the assertion that the
ship was armed goes directly to the
heart of the case. If it is a dilatory,
it is a dilatory in a legitimate sense,
for every person or government ac-
cused of specific crime certainly has
no right to call for proof of the fact
which constitutes of the acknowledge
ed deed the specified crime.
Moreover, in resting its case in so
confident a fasion on it question Of
ascertainable fact, and in connection
with it's plain statement that it's final
reply is yet to come, the imperial
suggests one way in which the Amer
lean rejoiner can be made effective,
and at the same time leaves the door
open for recession on it's part, upon
the production of formal evidence
that the Lusitania was unarmed, lead
ing perhaps to that peaceful conclus-
ion of the episode which both the Ger
man and the American people must
ardently desire.
We hold, therefore, that news
papers and individuals can render bet
ter service to the administration and
to our beloved country at this time
than by producing inflammatory rhet-
oric We hold that the time has not
come for beating up war sentiment.
Nothing is to be gained by denounc-
ing Germany, by decrying her argu-
ments or by denying the good faith
of her attitude. Events are FORUM
ately yet in that stage where the pa
triotism of quiet firmness in our po-
sition, of loyalty in support of our
government in whatever decision it
may reach, of united preparedness for
whatever may happen, is required of
good citizens rather than the patroit-
ism which uses 42-centimetre verbs
with which highly explosive adject-
ives in the direction of the adversary.
