TY COBB PULLS SENSATIONAL
 STUNTS
(By United Press)

NEW YORK. Sept 2S. Whether Ty Cobb is losing his title as king of baseball isn't entirely demonstrated by his tremendous batting average for the year. On recent visit to New York Cobb, besides doing most of the baseball hammering, pulled a play or two that by sheer audacity simply stunned Yankees and spectators alike.
 Ty had driven out a home run and then had singled. He went to second base, and when Veach reached first base the two of them worked a double steal, leaving Cobb on third and veach on second. On ball hit to the infield by Burns, Cobb sprinted for the plate and Veach. for third Cobb saw he couldn't make it and easily beat Wal ters' throw to third, only to find that Veach was there also.
 Walters completely lost his head, dashing to third, he tagged both run. ners, putting Veach out. Then he saw Burns wildly footing 1t for second and, | forgetting the plate was unoccupied whipped the ball to second to get Burns. That was Cobbs cue. Like a flash he was up and off. He was with in ten feet of the plate before Walters knew what was going on, and scored with no trouble.

yV1hat Mark Sullivan Thinks
w or All This Rumpus

For an Interpretation Of this comedy
one turns to Creel's associates. 1t hap
rens that in the course Of recent sketch
of George Creel in Golfers Weekly
Mark Sullivan, writing both seriously and
jocularly, said
"Creel ought never to have taken the
censorship job, and before that President
Wilson ought to have known better than to
apnoint him. II this sketch seems
touched with joeulsrity, it is because II takes

the comic relief. Most jokes consist funda-
mentally in the juxtaposition OF the incon-
gruous, and Creel, temperamental, excitable
and emotional TO the last degree-Creel in
big and complex administrative job is exceed
ngly incongruous. Himself the most aggres-
sive and daring of newspaper men, the most
insistent on 'pitiless publicity the most vio-
lent of muckrakers-C summoned by the
President to role of which the very title
implies the soft pedal, the suppression OF
publicity, is exceedingly incongruous.

General Hoyle

THE problem, described by military
l. men as a colossal one, Of adequately
protecting the vast quantities Of muni-
tions stored throughout the territory COM
prised in the Eastern Department Is
doubtless one of the most important TO
be handled by the department commander,
Brigadier General Eli d. Hoyle.
General Hoyle, who, having reached the
age limit, was retired in January, 1915,
applied for active service again when war
with Germany was declared. He received
his present command last August, TAX
ing the place of Major General Bell, who
had been detailed to command at Camp
Upton.
General Hoyle, a native Of Georgia,
was born in 1851. He was appointed to
West Point from Alabama in 1871, grad
uating four years later, and being assigned
as second lieutenant 10 the I'd Artil-
lery. Among his classmates at the mill
tary academy were Major General Tas-
ker II. Bliss and Major General William
A. Mann.
After graduating, Lieutenant Hoyle
remained at West Point until August 81,
1875. as an assistant instructor in artil-
lery tactics, then serving in North Caro-
lima. South Carolina, Washington. D. G.,
Maryland and Pennsylvania. He left
Pennsylvania in December, 1877, for from
tier duty at San Antonio. Returning to
West Point in 1882 as adjutant, he re-
NAMED for three years. In May, 1898. he
was offered the appointment Of captain
and commissary Of subsistence OF volun-
teers, but declined It, and In July OF
that year became a major and chief ord
nance officer of volunteers, going to Porto
Rico with the expedition. He became a
New-York tribune., 1917-12-02

"As the British tanks Chamber over the
ton and the British troops follow, taking
fortified positions which have been months
in the making and exactng heavy toll In
killed and wounded, the spirit OF commence
at home, so necessary TO the successfui con-
duet of war, is bound to be increased"
The real significance Of the victory, in
the opinion Of "The Brooklyn Daily
Eagle" lies in the manner in which the
strongest enemy positions were over
come. Taking a glance into the future, 1t
writes:
"In a very real sense warfare on the
Western front cannot be the same after yes
terdav's battle. One has only TO compare
tho costly methods being employed IN Flan-
ders with the tank-led attacks OF yesterday
TO see the permanent gain in tactics de,
veloped almost over night. And still 1t would
he unreasonable to expect the Germans 10
bo caught mapping a second time. The most
promising thing about the new methods Is
that with sufficient preparation similar sue
cess might follow attacks that did not oe-
pend upon the element Of surprise"
That a multitude of impossioilities
were here surmounted is the fact chlehy
insisted upon by "The New York Times,
which writes:
"The Hindenburg line was protected by
New-York tribune., 1917-12-02

infinite barbed wire. which cannot be re-
moved except By artillery. The whole situa-
ton bristled with impossibilties. The I'M
pregnable line was broken, the barbed WIRE
was removed without artillery. the British
aid not give the inevitable notice, the aoso-
lutely essential barrage was not made, cav
airy attacked artillery and beat it, there
was no air reconnaissance, infantry rescued
tanks from cannon-in short, II there was
single impossibility that did not becom'
feet within the first forenoon OF the Brit
ich advance, ii will take a conjurer to pro-
duco it,"
The same paper also calls attention to
the effects Of the "devilish tanks In
breaking down the morale of the German
troops-a deterioration which, II remarks,
has gone on cumulatively, until they now
often surrender at discretion.
Wide-reaching moral effects are expect
ed by "The San Antonio Express" in the
following passage:
"And this Surprise strategy
breaks down something more than the IN
vincibie' Hindenburg linej something be-.
sides the Huns last chance Of retaining
their hold on invaded and despoiled France
and Flanders. 1t finally breaks down thr
effect Of that series of arrogant boasts and
bloated threats with which junksr Berlin..
from the Imperial Hun down, has dinned
and dsgusted the ears Of the world sincs
the fortresses Of Liege were toppled overs
three years ago"
Considering the immediate tactical re.
suits of the victory The Tribune thinks is
"still possible, although unlikely, that the
consequence Of this victory will be tho
dislocation Of the entire German front.
but it is extremely unlikely that repeti-
ton of the tactics will be possible in the
immediate future" Yet the editor fms
abundant grounds for optimism in tho
fact that at will be one more In the long
series of successes which have demon
strated the superiority Of British and
French guns and soldiers and the slow
but certain decline in German resistance
and morale"
New-York tribune., 1917-12-02

1t is from this standpoint that the VIC
tory is most frequently discussed. Thus
"The Washington Post" wrote:
Now that the tanks have demonstrated
that they can in large measure do the work
that has before been done by intense ar
tillery fire, with the great advantage of not
permitting the enemy to anticipate attacks,
the system that has permitted the Germans
to oppose the British with comparatively
thin lines on most of the Western front,
while holding a large mobile force in re-
serve to meet strong attacks at particular
points, can no longer be safely relied upon.
And "The New York Evening Sun,
after noting that the Cambrai gains de-
noted new method of puncturing the
German lines, went on to say:
"Thoy threaten TO overturn the tactics OF
the Western war front; they promise to sup
ply the one indispensable element without
which victory was impossible. Tanks, IN
short, have revealed their worth in whole
sale use. A year ago they reused the laugh
Tar Of the Germans and it seemed as if they
had been driven by ridicule into the back
Ground. Now they have been used on new
scale and they have set at naught all the
routine defensive means Of the German
trench system"
From Salt Lake comes this utterance OF
"The Herald Republican"
New-York tribune., 1917-12-02

hath it that he is the original of the ef-
ficient Colonel Rendezvous in Mr.. Brit
ling Sees 1t Through" 1t is he, they say,
who makes his men polish the backs OF
the buttons and the nails on their boots.
Yet for all his insistence on rigid disci-
pline, he is none the less popular. The
Canadians whom he led at Vimy Ridge
adore him; they call him "Bingo Byng'"
"The Sun" is moved to gently facetious
speculation upon The possible derivation OF
the generals surname, remarking;
obviously, Byng is derived from 'bing,
and 'bing' is heap or pile of anything;
consequently, by extension General Byng is
Il heap Of man; compare American Indian
.heap good man. In Guy Mannering' we find
the verb TO bing,' used in the sense OF TO
co. thus:
"Bing out and tour ye suld devil
"In the North of England 'bing' is eight
hundredweight Of lead ore; in English dia-
lect we find to bing' or 'byng' meaning TO
turn sour. Thus Byng is heap OF man,
with eight hundredweght of lead in pile
ready to 20 for the Germans, in consequence
of having turned a bit sour because OF their
performances Byng is derived. it is plain,
from old English, old Morse, Swedish and
Danish: and he merits the honorable, long es-
tablished eonnotstion Of his name
Outside of the army he has hardly been
known, for he has gone ahead quietly, his
successes, though steady and numerous
unmarked by any conspicuous acquisition
Of fame.
General Byng is fifty-fve years old. His
wife, who was Miss Marie Evelyn Moretor
before her marriage in 1902, is well known
in England as a novelist. His grandfather
the first Earl of Trafford, was noted
English field marshal.

true prophet Of the new era" This was
one Of the illuminating passages in the re-
ports that came to New York Of the con-
vention of the Farmers Non-Partlsan
League Of North Dakota, which was held
in st. Paul in September. And now the
prophet himself has come out Of his West
for the purpose Of forming a similar
league in New York-a league TO defeat
the middleman, to wipe out profiteering.
Mr.. Townley comes TO New York at the
invitation of the State Food Commissioner
of Foods and Markets, John j. Dillon, who
presided at last Mondays conference of
farmers and labor representatives.
Mr.. Townley used to be known as the
"Flax King of the slope, that part of
North Dakota lying west of the Missouri
and sloping up toward the Rockies. Here,
in Golden Valley County, he had one OF
the worlds biggest fax farms. The first
wear, with 900 acres under cultivation,
everything went well, and he was said to
have cleaned up $4,000. The next year,
1910, he expanded his farm over 5000
acres, but a combination of circumstances,
including crop failure, caused complete
collapse of his venture. Townley and his
wife packed a few belongings and aban-
doned the farm to the creditors. After
that he farmed in a smaller way in diff
ferent parts of the state, sometimes, 1t is
said, even working as a farmland.
But in all this time he never ceased to
preach the doctrine Of political and indus
trial independence to his neighbors.
At the time of Governor Frazier's accept
ance Of the oath Of Office last January
the story Of which, incidentally, seems to
be mainly the story of the efforts Of the
league and its president--one correspond
ent said that Mr.. Townley became head
Of the league "by right Of personality
alone" continuing:
"He refused himself TO run for state
cffice, as did every other officer and organ
izer Of the league, lest the sincerity OF his
efforts be challenged. And he worked as
