YOU WON'T GET coRNs ON YOUR BRAIN

Many people do too much work with their feet and hands which
might be done to better advantage with their brains.
There is whole lot of rushing backward and forward with no definite
purpose in mind.

You can get into all sorts of complications and unpleasantness and

which of course tends to lessen the elfec-

very few players who hit the dirt while
travelling at top speed. And the way he

around on it as a pivot, avoid the touch,

overslide, because he has figured bit too

impression that Cobb is Il pugnacious in

Cobb is IL source of concern to American

What Sort of Fellow Is Ty Cobb? -
By BILLY EVANS

e"YRUS COBB is the greatest ball
player in the history of the game.
That is the great tribute paid the
Detroit star by owner Comiskey of the
Chicago White Sox. an the fifteen years
that / have been actively identified with
the game | have seen some great players;
but, without hesitation, | can say that
have never seen a better all-around player
than Cobb.
Several years ago George Hildebrand
broke into the American League as an
umpire In his day Iildebrand had been
a clever player. He was doubled up
with me when he opened with the Detroit
Club. 1t was the first time he had ever
seen Cobb on or off the ball field 1t so
happened that Cobb had one of his big
days. He got four hits, a couple of them
for extra bases, and naturally he showed
to advantage. He stretched into two
base hit what would have been a single
for almost any other player in the uni
verse. He took three bases on a drive
that the average player would have been
more than satisfied to regard as a double
Once he stole second, and twice he pilfered
third. Hildebrand was working the bases

him not to take his eye off Cobb any time
he reached first base. Tyrus happened to
get on every time he came up. He man
aged to keep Hildebrand more than busy.
$50 that is Tyrus Cobb, remarked Hill
debrand, after the game.
"Pretty fair player, that Cobb | said.
"I should think he was, replied Hide
brand "Say, do you know, he gave me
more close decisions in to-day's game than
| had all last season in the Coast League"
When you remember that the Coast
League season consists of schedule of
about two hundred games you can realize
what strong impression Cobb made on
Hildebrand.
what kind of fellow is Cobb"
That is question that is asked me
hundreds of times each season. A good
many fans, because of his swagger style,
get the impression that Cobb just hates
himself. That is entirely erroneous.
Cobb carries himself just the same on the
ball field to-day as he did eleven years
ago, when he broke into the American
League. His present style is his natural
style. Any player who is success, who is
the big star that Cobb is, naturally must
make good many enemies. 1t would be
impossible for it to be otherwise. There
is just enough of the ego in Cobbs make
Evening star., 1916-06-04

restrain himself and not resent the rallery
of the fans.
There is one pleasing thing about Cobb
in this connections: he is game, and he
has a heart of oak. He has proved this
many time. Just to show you how
hard it is to conquer Cobb, | will repeat
a story have heard a number of Detroit
players relate
Cobb and certaimmember of the team
got into an argument which resulted in
fisticutfs, with Tyrus getting the wrong
end of the decision after "A hard battle.
Ty was not convinced that his opponent
was physically his superior After short
time Ty renewed hostlities. and again the
decision went against him. 1t was evil
dent to every one but Tyrus that his OPP
ponent was too strong for him. Ty in
sisted on a third meeting, and once again
he was defeated. In each case the result
was decisive. The day following the third
meeting, Ty shook hands with his three
time conqueror and remarked:
well old boy, you have it on me. In
the future all you and are going to do is
argue"
Cobb and the player in question be-
came the greatest of friends.
When Ty Wanted to Fight Me
IN this connection, | recall another in
cident in which was directly concerned.
Things had been breaking badly for
Tyrus, and it seemed as if every close
decision was going against him. 1t be-
came my painful duty to call him out for
interference one day, as the tying run was
going over the plate. Cobb insisted | was
wrong; | was equally strong in asserting
that | was right. Ty expressed the belief
that the entire staff was wrong--that a
real fellow could whip the entire staff, and
that he believed he could turn the trick
himself. In turn, | informed Tyrus that
he might as we'll start on me. He said he
would Immediately, at the close of the
game.

Cobb's "Fall-Away'
NO player in the game has a more ef-

many players use what, in baseball terms,
is known as the fall-away. In sliding into
a base, the player, by throwing his body
in the direction of either the intield or
outfeld, tries to make it impossible for
the fielder with the ball to have any part
of the body other than the foot to touch.
Cobb has perfected the fall-away to the
highest degree. Most runners slow up
slightly as they prepare to hit the ground,
