''IF TY COBB WOULD ONLY HUNT

BY TOM LAIRD.

NAPA, Cal, Jan. S.-With all
the pleasures of his mountain
home, Oscar Witt is not quite sat
isfied. He will be completely hap
by, he says, when he induces Ty
Cobb to visit him in his paradise
In the clouds.
1.-THE Peach" as Witt calls Ty-
rus Raymond, 'is always boast
ing about his hunting trips in
Georgia." complained Oscar. Il
don't know a great deal about
bis southern state. but I'm will
ing to bet my hunting grounds
have his beaten a mile. / want
to show him some real hunting,
but he won't come up here. One
visit would convince him that I
have the real place for sport"
Witt has a pair of boots which
Cobb gave him and he wouldn't
part with them for love OF
money. He can use the boots, all
right. There's scarcely level
foot of ground within five miles
of his cabin. Mrs. Witt also wears
heavy boots when they go hiking
over the rocks.
New Years day brought sor-
row to Witt. The quail season
closed on that date. He has en-
joyed many a quail breakfast anc
gotten lot of sport oat of the
hunting, but he says no won't
break the law to furnish more
quail and toast for his table.
AS much as l like the hunt
ing, l won't kill a quail out OF
season." he avowed. "They could
wander into my cabin and l
wouldn't harm them, unless we
happened to be starving, and
there's no chance of that hap
pening.'
Real winter will soon settle
down around the Witt cabin. The
snow will whiten the hills, but
as the fall is light, the Wits are
fairly safe from being snow
bound.
when winter comes in earn
est we just keep the fire going
and sit around and read" said
Mrs. Witt.
"It's the only life," said Oscar.
"I wouldn't care il we never left
here"

Sheviin did not confine his ac-
