Sleep of Men and Women.

Women go to sleep less quickly
than men, but they sleep more sound
ly and longer. For a short period Of
hour in each night-a man gets into
state of sleep which is more pro-
found than a woman's, but he comes
out of this with a rush and sleeps
more lightly than the woman during
the latter part of the night. His wax
ing is more gradual and he does not
become fully awake so rapidly.

MARK MADE BY TY is 1863

One of these scribbling ghouls who
delight in rafting statistical skele-
tons has begun to pick on our Tyrus.
He tells US that we are kidding our
selves when we believe that the first
eleven years of the Georgia Peach in
major league base ball have been the
greatest consecutive eleven years ever
experienced by one player in base ball
history, says Harold Wilcox in the De-
troit Times. He further spoils Ty's
celebration of the completion of ten
years as d 300 hitter and nine consecu-
tive seasons as the leader of his league
by proving his assertion. The Gem of
Georgia cannot lay claim to the great
est record of all time during eleven
seasons Of play, which represents his
present major league career. One
player has margin on him. and though
there is only one, that is enough to
spoil our winter here in Detroit. Willie
Keller is the hero in question
This old teammate of Hughey Jen-
nings at Baltimore broke into the game
in 1898. During the eleven seasons
that started with his debut Little
Willie went to bat oftener, made more
hits, scored more runs and poked the
ball around the lot with his bludgeon
for better grand average than has
Cobb in his remarkable career. Cobb
leads only in stolen bases, and that by
a margin of fifteen year Here are
the statistics that are offered for
proof:

CHARLEY SCHMIDT RETIRES.

Charley (Butch) Schmidt, the Balti-

CAPABLANCA WINS AGAIN.
Cuban Defeats Bernstein in Rice
Memorial Chess.
STANDING OF THE PLAYERS.

NEW YORK, January 26.-Shaking
off another of his most dangerous
rivals. Jose r. Capablanca of Havana
established himself securely in first
place as the result of his victory over
J. Bernstein. in the seventh round of
the Rice memorial chess masters tour
nament. at the Empire City Chess Club
yesterday afternoon and evening. To
his total of six points thus attained
the young Cuban player expects to add
his adjourned game with Janowski. the
French champion. which has already
lasted over eighty moves and will be
played off at the rooms of the Manhat-
tan Chess Club this afternoon. Conse-
quently. Capablanca will have survived
the first half of the tournament, not
alone undefeated. but with a winning
lead over his nearest competitors.

feated A. Schroeder in a Ruy Lopez

1t is true that Keller played under
conditions somewhat different from
those under which Tyrus performs his
miracles. Jim MCGUIRE hadn't put over
his foul strike rule yet, and that helped.
But when it is recalled that Keller
went one whole grand season without a
strike-out. suspicion is justified that he
could wallop the old apple under any
circumstances. The really important
part of this comparison of Cobb and
Keller is yet to come. Everybody is
wondering just how long Tyrus will
last. All Detroit. from Frank Navin
down to the infant bleacherites. are
vitality interested in this matter. If
Keller is a criterion, Cobb has about
run his race as a miracle man. The
old-time outfielder was just year old
err than Cobb when he compl!eted his
eleventh season. He had one more
grand season, and then he hit the skids.
He played seven seasons longer. steal
ing not more than an average of thir-
teen bases per season and hitting for a
grand average of but .292. The 1904
season was a wonder. The rest were
far from spectacular. There is no bet
ter way to snare an idea of Keeler's de-
cline than by looking over the figures.
Here thew are:

This is no personal prediction that
Cobb is nearing the skids. We believe
that his wonderful condition. stamina
and the care which he takes Of himself
will keep Ty wound UP for several sea-
sons to come. But there is no denying
the interest occasioned by the oppor-
tunity to compare the records of two
players whose careers were SO nearly
identical during the first decade of
their major league play as those Of
Cobb and Keller. Cobb may not play
more than eighteen seasons. He dosn't
want to play after he begins to go
back. But it Is hard to believe that his
thirteenth season will see the decline,
as did the thirteenth season of the old
timer.
In the light of the 1915 record, it 10
interesting to recall that Cobb stole
only two bases the first year he was In
the big show.

TO HELP HARVARD.
Haughton Will Direct Foot BAN
Team as Usual Next Season.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. January &C.
Last night the Harvard undergradu-
ates thronged into the Union by the
hundreds to celebrate the Crimson's
foot ball victories over Yale and
Princeton in 1915. 1t was the first
opportunity the students had had to
see the team and the coaches since the
4O-to-0 victory over Yale last Novem-
Der.
The most prominent speakers were
Coaches Percy Haughton and Reggie
Brown, the strategy man. Haughton
intimated that he would make every
effort to be on hand to direct the team
next fall even If his Boston Braves
were successful in getting into tho
world series. Last years captain. Ed
die Mahan, and next years leader. Joe
Gilman, also spoke. and with the others
of the team were cheered and ap-
plauded.
The Harvard foot ball committee has
no statement to make about next years
plans, but every member believes that
Haughton will be on deck again to SUI
pervise the season, even if he can do
active coaching for only the last i've
OF six weeks of the campaign. ~

Base ball men may decide to let well
enough alone, so far as the national
sion has proven very satisfactory since
its creation and there are lot of club
owners who are going to think a long
while before they will agree to make
any material changes in the present
system of conducting the great sport.
The st. Louis Cardinals may change
ownership within another week. and it
will not be Harry Sinclair who will
be identified with the new deal. Owner
Britton says that the team is for sale.
but that Sinclair has called off his
negotiations.

friends of Bob Hedges are trying to
induce him to buy the Cardinals. 1t is
said that Hedges can get all the back

mendous success with the Browns from
a financial point of view that hnanciers
are begging him to handle their
money.
The reason for Britton refusing to
reveal the name of the latest bidder
for the club is that the prospective
purchaser has requested that his name

or not he will consummate the deal.
