BOSTON, August 26.-Ty Cobb has
been bothered with bad tonsils, sore
throat and pesky colds just long
enough. This winter he will have his
tonsils cut out to improve his playing.
Maybe the Georgian will be a regular
ball player after he whins a few cans
of ether. He's only hitting $50, only
runs to first faster than any one in
the business and seems to be unable to
catch flies hit outside the park.
Many ball players are bothered with
bad tonsils." said Ty today. That's
easily accounted for. The ball player
is jumped from the hot south to the
northern chilly and damp April. Then
he'll play while in a tropicallike
heat in st. Louis and the next week
he's shivering in a Boston east wind.
These big changes in temperature
affect his tonsils."
Cobb was asked what he thought
about the American League race

I'm inclined to believe you'll see an
world series. The Braves
are getting great pitching. They're
making runs on few hits, while the
other contenders for the National

hard, but without getting the results.

CINCINNATI, August 26.-Christy

Larry Doyle and two Giant utility in

The offer made today Is the second
one to be made In two days by McGraw
in an endeavor to bolster up the Giant
machine. The trading of Merkle for
McCarty was the first step.
The story has 1t that very few of
the present Giant men will be in the
lineup when the 1917 season opens
next April.
Robertson and Burns will be re-
tanned, but the future of kaun is In
doubt McGraw intends to get rid of
him and already is planning way to
do so.

the Giant captain and custodian of the

missal, as Is also Honus Lobert. 1t Is
not at all improbable that when the
next season opens the entire Giant In

there to replace the old guard. and that
a man other than Kauff will be in csn-

A bit of stupid play by both
Judge and Gallia caused the de-
feat of the Nationals by a score of

of the series with the White Sox.
Judges failure to throw out
Felsch at the plate after the SoN
center fielder had been given a
life by Leonard's error on Ter
rvs grounder to him in the sixth,
which he threw too high, cost a
run.
Gallia's blunder came in the
seventh inning. A walk to ]. Col

hit to Gallia, who threw wide to
the plate, and ]. Collins scored,
Jackson reaching third and Four

who threw Jackson out at the
plate, Fournier going to third on
the play, and then Felsch started
to steal. Henry threw the ball to
Gallia to protect Fournier from
scoring, but Gallia, instead of
holding the bal. threw it to sec
ond, where Mcbride got Felsch,
but not until Fournier had
crossed the plate.
The selection of Doc Ayers to do the
pitching proved poor one. Ayers did
not display the stuff he has of late,
seemingly forgetting that his most eff
fective ball was produced by his under
hand delivery. He resorted to an
overland delivery which the Sox took
SO kindly to that after the doctor had
pitched for two innings he was benched
and Gallia went to the mound. He
allowed but two hits during his term.
but his fielding was disastrous. Jim
Shaw wound up the game and did not
allow any more runs.
The Griffmen overcame a two-run
lead which the Sox obtained at Ayers
expense in the second inning. when
he was hit for four singles. A hit by
Shanks in the second. followed by a
walk to Judge. gave Mcbride a chance
to sacrifice, which he did to perfection

Following the Indians, the Mackmen

Bush's performance against the Indians
Yesterday giving some idea of the de-
yelopment of this young man.
The ambition of every pitcher is to
shut out a team at some time or other
without a hit or run.
Every season some one or two pitch
ers in the major leagues enter into
this class. This year George Foster
Of the Red Sox made such record
against the Yankees. and yesterday

had the pleasure Of getting his name
on the honor roll for his no-hit game
against the Cleveland Indians. who the
day before made twenty seven hits OF
some of Bush's teammates in a double
header.
Had Bush been fortunate enough to
be with a winning team this season he
might have hung up a new pitchins
record. for he has been a most con-
sistent performer.

from Philadelphia, and are quartered
at the Harrington Hotel.
Iris Speakers mother and sister are
making the trip with him. Henry Ed
wards of the Cleveland Plain Dealer
and Ed Bang of the News are the two
correspondents travelling with the In
dians.
Howard Shanks is playing wonderful
ball and is hitting like ftend. He was
shifted back to left field yesterday, and
before the game was two innings old he
had distinguished himself by making
some wonderful catches, for which he
had to cover much ground.
Shanks is, beyond doubt, one of the
greatest fielders the game has ever pro-
duced He seems to have an uncanny
intuition as to where to play for the
various batsmen, and he gets started in
the right direction at the crack of the
bat
He had six chances in left yesterday
and four of them were of the sensa :
tional variety. He also got two hits In
four trips to the plate. and on the day
before he got three singles out of four
There Is not another team in the ma
jors which can boast of so competent a
utility man, who besides filling out
field in a sensational manner can play
any of the infield positions in a salts
factory way and do his share of the
timely hitting.
Doc Ayers should never use anything
but his underhand ball. Any time he
changes to the overland style he is not
nearly as effective as when he shoots
toward the plate from down by his
knees. 1t was noticeable that yester-
day Doc used an overland motion on
numerous occasions, and this naturally
was figured to account for the many hits
the White Sox made off Of his delivery
in the two innings he lasted, during
which the Sox made five hits and two
runs.
Joe Leonard again came through with
timely hit yesterday which scored a
run in the NTH. Leonard has been most
consistent in this respect since he has
