Must Beat Out jackson and Speaker
in Race For League
Honor.

Ty Cobb is confronted with the
mightiest task of his career in his
attempts to win the 1916 batting
championship of the American
league. The chances seem to be
against him for the first time since
he flashed into view as a clouting
phenom.
In most of the other years, Ty led
the parade at this time of the sum-
mer. Ty had a little velvet" so to
speak. But he hasn't any now. In
the bygOne days he could fall into a
short slump and continue to rule,
even though his margin dwindled in
the meantime. But now he is some
thing close to 40 points behind the
leading Speaker terrible gap.
But what counts largest against
Ty is the fact that he must overhaul
two men to reach the crest-Speaker
and Jackson Both are laundering
along. In other years Ty had only
one real rival leader after mid-sea-
son. All that was necessary to win
the championship was for him to
beat out that one man. Now ne
must beat two. It's much easier,
you know, TO win a two-horse race
than 1t is to win in a three entry

BROOKLYN TEAMS
WEAK SPOT Is SHORT

If the Dodgers fail to win the pen
nant this year it will be due in a
large measure 70 their weakness az
short. and TO Charlie Ebbetts refusal
to pay real money for a first class
man.
ollie O'Mara is too erratic as a
fielder and too weak as a hitter to
be on a championship team. Ivan
Olson, the substitute, flashed some
good games early in the year, bur
since has dropped to the mediocre.
The Dodgers have lost more games
this season because of babbling in
the short field than through any
other cause. Ebbets has had several
chances to pick up experienced men
who are superior to O'Mara and or
son-but these players cost money.
And Ebbets surely does hate TO part
with the coin once he gets il.
The sage who once remarked,
penny wise. pound foolish" prob>
ably had Ebbets in mind. Ten thous-
and to $4,000 for a shortstop right
now probably would mean a PEN
nant and a slice of the world series
melon, which would total quite a bit
beyond the cost of three or four
shortstops.
