RII Fischer, the large ex-ted

in a way to cheer Jimmy Callahan
Pirate manager. With plenty OF other
worries over the Pirates poor start
this season Callahan is happy to nave
something to be cheerful about
Several seasons ago Fischer was
recru;t with Joe Tinkers Chicago
Whales and made a good showing in
thc Federal league. A showing IN the
Federal league isn't quite the same as
a good pace i'll the big show and
Fischer has shown a great improve
mcnt in every department OF his work
since Joining the Pirates:
His heavy clouting so far this year
has been the best of his performing:
although he has been catching most OF
the games and displaying flawless
form behind the bat. With young
Chuck Ward, who is trying. to MI
Wagner's shoes at short, Fischer. has
been doing most of the team clout-
ing. Carev, Schultz and Hinchman
have done more slumping than any
thing else so far and without Ward
and Fischer the team would have been
in even sadder straights. Callahan be-
lieves that Fischer will keep up the
clip he has set all through the season
and that lie will show himself TO be
one of the best young catchers TO
come into fast company for several
seasons. The Pirates obtaired Fischer
from the Cubs last summer.

Fielder Jones Says Cobb
Is Greatest PLAYER of All

Ty Cobb has no more ardent adj
mirer than Fielder Jones, manager of
the Browns. Jones believes that there
never was another ball player that
could think so fast as the Georgia
Gem. He credits Ty with being one
of the keenest students of the game
that ever lived.
II preach Ty Cobb to my ball play
erS day in and day out" said Fielder
in discussing the Detroit star. Every
time we have meeting or I get a
few of the boys together I hold him
up as an example of what quick think
ing and intelligence will do for
man.
Nobody knows any more base ball
than Cobb and nobody learns more by
experience than he. Every day and
all day he is picking up new wrinkles
about the old pastime. The trouble
with the average ball player is that
his work is largely mechanical. He
goes out and plays the same style of
game day after day and fails to OBJ
serve what is going on around him.
If he has weakness instead of
studying himself and the opponent he
just takes it for granted that he will
always have this particular fault and
makes no effort to correct it.
"One of these days | hope to get
Iy Cobb in room for a good talk
on base ball. 1t will be treat to me
if | ever do this, for l will learn more
from him in an hour than 7 could
