CObb'S Birthday.

Today is Georgia's special fete
, day, the birthday of that states
I most famous and distinguished
citizen, Tyrus Raymond Cobb.
I Ty will start his thirty second
annum on this oblate spheroid
I today. If he follows precedent,
! Ty will celebrate with a hunting
I trip, and while he may not be
I quite so proficient with the gun
I as with the bat, he ranks among
I the foremost sportsmen of Geor-
\ gia, a state which is full of nim-
\ rods. The Tiger swat king, like
\ so many other ball players, has "a
I great fondnes for gun, and he is
I an expert marksman. When he
I unlimbers his artillery in the
I hunting field-he game probably
\ feels very much like the twirler
I does when Ty comes TO bat and
\ the result is much more fatal.
! There are probably more shoot
! ing fans among ball players pro-
\ portionately, than among the men
\ of any other trade or profession.
\ Very few of the diamond pastim-
I ers are unfamiliar with firearms,
\ and the rainy day conversations
OF the players usually include
\ "reminiscences OF the hunting
\ field.
\ While Ty Cobb keeps up his
\ batting average in the Gun
\ league by taking an occasional
\ whirl at the clay birds, he Is
! much fonder OF going afield after
\ real game. Ty's Georgia planta-
tion is In a good hunting region.
and his dogs are famous hunters.
One OF his neighbors is/James
\ Barrett, the crack trap shot of
the south, and there Is much
\ friendly rivalry between the two.
Ty has a brother, Paul Cobb,
who has tried 10 emulate the
Georgia Peach's fame. but he
never got any higher than the
Western league, where he played
for a time with Lincoln, ana
wasn't fast enough for that cir
! cult.
