Ty Cobb May Break All
 Records

TNYRUS COBB. according to the of
 = dciaI averages, is batting .370 and last season stole ninety six bases. a record for modern baseball in the ma Jor leagues.
 The man who would state that Tyrus is "weakening" might be considered an eligible passenger for the good ship Nutty. And yet the figures, for bat ting at least, show that Tyrus has five seasons.
 Cobb reached the top mark of his batting career in 1911 with a mark of APO. The following year he hit .41o, and the next he quit the 400 division.
 In 1914 Cobb dropped down to .36S. This year he called a halt, and, in a weakened league, he rallied two points, to .S7o, and found the pitchers easy marks in the matter of stealing.
 But Cobb is still on the comfortable side of thirty, and his "declining" years will be better than the prime Of any other player in the game, no doubt.
 It is not unreasonable to hope that this clean living young fellow will out shine the remarkable record of Captain Anson, who lasted tWenty-twoi years in the major leagues and batted above 300 eighteen seasons of the twenty two, hit over .3S0 for twelve years of the time, over .36O six times in his ca reer and passed the 400 mark once.
 Anson's records for number of games played, 2,25O, and total hits 3,01S. have both been surpassed, Hans Wagner and Lajoie going ahead of him last season, as long as LajOie.
 Cobb is. now the logical man to top the record of Anson in every Darttcu- lar.

AMBIDExTRous HURLERs NEVER LAST

FOLLOWERS of baseball have often = heard of the fellow who could pitch e.fast ball with either hand and make af curve also. but very few have seen one of these pitching freaks Baseball history tells of chap named Owen Keenan. who pitched for Youngstown, O. in 1885. Keenan could pitch equally well with both arms. On the 4th of July of that season this wonder pitch ed two games of ball against New Cas- tie and beat that team in both con- tests He worked his left: arm in the first game ana used his right wing in tlle second contest with the odds slightly in favor of the right whip.
 The famous Larry Corcoran of the Chicago team in the early eighties was one of the great hurlers, of the period Larry lost the use of his wonderful right arm during the season of 1885
 This almost broke his heart, for Larry was not old in years. 1t dawned upon him that he might make left handed pitcher. for he was always clever at throwing with his left and used to Hractice frequently. In the season of 1sse Corcoran signed with 8 Southern

league team as a left handed pitcher and reported for practice as such. He worked hard to gain. control for he de- veloped rare speed. Larry pitched a few exhibition games. and in one of them he linked his remaining wing so badly that he was released, so he had to quit the game. for he had, run out of pitching arms.
 Windharn, originally right handed pitcher, lost the use Of his pitching arm through an accident. He made 8 shift and began practing with his left arm. He was very successful and made a splendid record with the Worcester team Of the Eastern league during 1903, so good, in fact, that he was signed by the St Louis Americans for the season of 1904. However, his pitching from the left side was not natural for him, and instead of his arm getting strong CT and better he weakened his whole left side and finally had to give up pitching.
 So the ambidextrous hurler is more or less of a myth The pitching game Is too strenuous for any kind of arm but the good natural wing.

The brawny descendants of the Norsemen mingled with the Canadians who came over the line on their snowshoes,. and they filled them with envy at the way they glided all around them on their long, thin skis.

JOSEPH HSFAVERSHAM TINKER was
 a Federal leaguer first, last and all the time. From playing standpoint Tinker made the outlaw league real ity, but Joe Tinker is, first of all, a man in every sense of the word. and in speaking of his former associates in organized baseball he never stoops to the petty knocking that few of the men in the Federal league were at times guilty of.
 Joe recently was talking of the great managers of the game. Tinker, of course, was Chances lieutenant in the palIny days of Franks Cub regime and spoke glowingly of his former mentor. However, to every ones surprise, the Chifed leader waxed the most entau- siastic over none other than John J. McGraw.
 '.Al1 things considered" said Tinker, T regard McGraw as the greatest of baseball managers. He has done more
