DARING ON BASES
IS COBB'S HOBBY
Tyrus Claims That Stolen
Bases Should Play More
Prominent Part.

Tyrus Raymond Cobb of the Detroit
Tigers, who open a series of four games
here today, is of the opinion that stolen
bases should play more prominent part
in Americas great national game. The
Georgia Peach thus expresses himself in
a special article in the Base Ball Maya
zine. Ty comes forward with the asser-
ton that he is strong for the stolen base,
stating that he believes it possible to do
more damage to the opposing teams de-
tense by daring base running than by
batting or fielding.

says: when you are making a lot of
hits you may discourage the opposition.
But at the same time they reason that
the players are not so much to blame. 1t
is really the pitcher who is getting his.
Therefore. the team play and defensive
play, so far as the club is concerned, are
not impaired in the least by the fusillade
of hits which may win the game and
drive the pitcher from the box. The same
applies to fielding. If misplay is made
it is the fault of some one player. 1t
doesn't affect the other players and it
doesn't even affect the man who made it
very much. For he reasons, 4 missed that
one all right, but when the next one

Rattles the Infeld.

"All these things are important. But
with the bases crammed, can quite de-
moralize an infield and get the defense
up in the air as clever base running can
do.
Such base running strikes deep at
the foundation of the defense. 1t de-
stroys confidence. and when confidence
is gone everything is gone. When a
fast runner gets to first base and then
starts running wild and gets away
with it. he completely demoraliZes the
1nfeld and gets the pitcher and catcher
up in the air as well. Infielders get
to throwing the ball around, missing
plays. making errors and looking like
a lot Of boobs. They become com
.pletely ratified. and when ball player
is ratified he is done for the time
being.
TT is the element of the unexpected
which makes successful base running
so valuable. The batter at the plate
is always likely to make. hit. If he
does, it is no surprise to any one. SO
Is an infielder likely to make an error.
Those things are all a part of the
game. But the good base runner who
doesn't follow any set rule creates
opportunity for himself. which is I'M
expected. When he is on the paths no
one knows what he is going to do next,
and the very uncertainty makes it i'm
possible for the infielders to do their
best work
A Risky Hazard.
1.-The stolen base is looked upon by
too many managers as a risky hazard
They are inclined to follow the ma
chine schedule of working for passes
sacrificing and that sort of thing. All
this is important. but if were a man
ager | would try to develop the unex-
pected attack, rather than follow the
routine form. If a thing is unexpected
it is immensely valuable on that very
account. The defense can't be pre-
pared. They can't have any set plan.
They are swept off their feet. And the
attack wins because of it's suddenness
and its variation from the usual
schedule.
Hitting is good and pitching is
good. and SO is fielding. You can't get
along without them. But If / were
manager l would make base running
big part of my tactics in winning ball
games"

tically pitched the Maroons through the

Gates that he has lost none Of his ef-

Championship OF the second half Of the

the probabilities are that the team which
beats them out will win 1t. 1t would not
be a surprise If they decided the league
title by capturing the closing part of the

up Stanley Smith about his planter
and those near Turtle River
should call Mr.. Skrivseth or
Mr.. Goodmanson l am sure they
could make arrangements to do your

Why 4 Potato Planter
Should Be Used

The modern Potato Planter does
the work Just right and Is . great
labor saver. -.
The Government must have men
for industry and defense.
Cooperation is the great need Of
the hour.
The world needs potatoes.
The Government needs men.
The potato growers car supply
both by using Potato Cutters, Plant
ers, Sprayers and Diggers.
The solution-GET A HOOVER
PLANTER.
Mr.. Farmer, If you are figuring on
getting Potato Digger this fall, now
is the time to place your order for q
Hoover, as with the demand there
will be for diggers this fall, it looks
as though we will not be able to fur
nish the diggehs that will be de-
manded. Let us have your order in
the very near future so we can make
arrangements for more machines.
The Hoover Diggers and Potato
Sprayers are now on display at our

Captain swseny, American, Who Single

Six Germans, Will Assist Ordnance
Department Of This Country Prspar-
ing Tanks For Service.
Washington.-The French infantry
that won so much ground in the Cham
pagne region advanced as supporting
force to numerous batteries of cater
pillar tractors, or tanks" hoglike in
appearance, that crept forward with q
persistency which the German troops
remaining in their shell battered
trenches could not check and which
assured the poilus of protection as they
dug In upon their advanced lines.
So that an American army can know
about these tanks If sent abroad Cap

kane, Wash, and a member Of the
Foreign legion of the French army,
Is now In this city, where he will as
sist ordnance experts in preparing sim
liar land cruisers for service. he re-
turned recently from France.
Captain Sweeney is a West Pointer,
but when the fighting began he was
found in the French army He started
as private in the infantry. He want
ed to be in the thick of it, so chose
that branch Of the service and during
his campaigning was in many battles.
He was awarded the cross of the
Legion of Honor for valor and pro-
NOTED to lieutenant when, single hand
ed, he captured machine gun and six
Germans. :.
Very little has been written in this
or any country regarding the French
tanks The first few used by the
French army went into action about
the same time the British put theirs In
offensive began this spring that the
poilus trotted forward in support Of
great numbers Of their tanks, "zan-
zans," as they called them.
The best way to describe q French
tank is to compare it with giant hog,
kneeling so that it's short legs cannot
be seen, and creeping forward as it
roots in the ground.
A rain of lead pours from its sides
as it proceeds, and heavier shot, and
shell are showered upon any position
where machine guns of the Germans
may remain in action as it straddles
the enemy trench. Only by landing
shell directly upon a tank can it be
put out of commission. Bullets from
German rapid firers and the infantry
rifles are powerless. Hand grenades
do it no damage.
