One chance often makes a ball play
er who really has the class to hold
down a Job in the major leagues.
Many a youngster IS passed up by
two or three scouts and picked up
by another, only to be disappointed
by getting no call because the word
IS passed around that 'so-and-so"
passed him up. and the club owner
would rather take the opinion Of two
scouts. even though they might be
working for another club.
Such e youngster is Pete Kilduff.

By JACK VEBICK.

Jew YORK, April 17.-Tyrus Ray
N mond Cobb. greatest Of ball play

other moniker.
Ty should be passed the laurels as
king buzzer OF the temperamental
players. as well. for il is apparent that
he has something on Johnny Evers.
Heinie Tim and a few other stars who
have become famous for their shows Of
temper on the field Of play.
CObb's recent fisticuff engage
ment Mt Dallas, Texas, with Buck
HerEOg, was nothing short of dis
graceful, and Cobb deserved severe
punishment from Ban johnson for
his actions Had II been a case
where both Cobb and HerzOS were
to blame for the trouble, the thing
would look different. But Cobb
openly admitted that he spiked
Heron purposely, and such a thing
Is bad for the game.
Cobb gets by with a lot OF arrogant
stuff, because he IS pretty capable of
taking care OF himself in personal en-
counter with any player in the big
leagues today. He can fight, and Re
has q temper which makes him see red

evidence OF a change OF brotherly feel

predicted when the props were knocked
from under the Players Fraternity last
winter
At the time baseball men high up in
the game predicted that more rivalry
would be noticed on the field Of play
with the Frat out OF commission, and
the series between the Giants and
Tigers. at least. demonstrated that two
big league players have returned to
the ~fightin' ways" of the old timers
The baseball fan doesn't demand

Just because a player is tempera-
mental is no sign he should be allowed
10 get away with il all the time.
And Tyrus Raymond Cobb has no
reason to expect that the baseball pub
lie will excuse the player who admits
that he tries to slash an opposing
