TY COBB TAKES LARGE
SLUMP IN HIS BATTING

T. Raymond Cobb, Of the Detroit
Tigers. has stopped his superman hit
ting since he was halted IN ais mad
career on Friday. July 8.
For the thirty-nve straight games
In which Ty hit one or moro times
safely he whaled the old agate at
the rate Of 1872. This gait Is one OF
the livslisst that the annals OF the
game has shown over a like stretch.
Since July Ty has been more than
a regular hitter. Perhaps the famous
Georgian got peeved that his string
was broken. Perhaps he has lost the
incentive now that the straight rec
ord streak was rudely shaken up.
Ty hasn't been the same hitter since
Gs the records will show. Instead OF
hitting at q .Gs2 clip Cobb has been
able to amass q mark OF only $40 In
the twelve games that have followed
that string.
OF the dozen games that Cobb has
appeared in since July 8 he has been
blanked four times. At that he has
gathered In 10 bingies for "a bases,
having gone TO the bat Al times for
that $40 mark.
The Georgian 10 still ahead OF the
game. but he Isn't hitting enough to
land him near the 400 mark on the
season, and that seemed to be his
Gvowed intention.

COM|SKEYS TEAM
FACES ROUGH FOE
IN BOSTON OUTFIT

With q rift of twenty-one points
separating them from the Red Sox.
the Chicago Sox will be able to take
only a breath today before they enter
what undoubtedly will be their haru-
est series to date. Tomorrow they
will take on the Boston bunch, who
simply refuse to be counted out of
the race.
Completely Ignoring the fact that
more than once they have been sixty
points in the rear, the champions have
simply refused to let go. several
times when their pitchers seemed to
be faltering. II appeared to be only
question Of how much Charles
Comiskey would charge for the
worlds series seats, but each time
the White Sox have allowed the gap
to be narrowed.
The White sox got an even break
when they met the Red Hose on the
Boston grounds. II they can hold
on to their scAnt lead until the Barry
minions hit Chicago. they should go
into the coming series with more con-
hdence than when they met the cham
pions at Fenway Park. The fact that
the Browns have given the Red Sox
a terrible tussle in the series they are
just completing doesn't speak well for
the scoring ability OF the Boston
band.
Gradually. the Giants are pulling
their lead into a stretch OF games
that should carry them to the cham
pIonshIp in the National League To-
day they stand out in front with a
margin OF 100 points over the Phillies.

TRUXT0N A. c. PLAYERS
WIN FROM ROSEDALES

Truxton Athletic Club players have
the honor OF leading the league today.
The Capital City series winners proved
to be more than an aggregation OF
youngsters by handing the RosedaIt
Club a 4-to-1 beating.
The youngsters got right to work
IN the opening frame and landed
enough runs 10 win. two being counted
before the side was retired. Callahan
pitched fine ball and had some superb
fielding behind him for the remainder
OF the game.
The Rosedale club was able to get
but one tally and that came in the
second inning. Callahan allowed four
hits to the Rosedale team and famed
thirteen batters.
Hughes made two errors at second
for the TruKton players, otherwise
the fielding was faultless. hewitt and
DeVine proved unable to stop the
youngsters from scoring.
Truxton players counted in the sec
ond and fourth, but the runs were not
needed, as Callahan proved inVinci

TWO GAMES WITH TIGERS

Charlie Jameson, the little outnelder
sold to the Mackmen by Clark Griffith.
Is making good for Connie Mack in no
unmistakable manner. The tall. lean
leader Is there with a boost for him,
too.
Jameson Is playing satisfactory
baseball for me-" says Connie. He
Is q natural lead-off man for a bat

and can throw as well as the next
He is young and willing to learn.
mo, don't think Jameson a I'm
ished player right now, but he has

Let Kid Do II.
II he can arrange the deal Charlie
comiskey will obtain Ray Caldwell
from the Yankees. No. the Old Ro-
man won't try to keep the erratic
hurler in line. He'll let Kid Gleason
do #.
Gleason Is a sort OF assistant man
ager to Clarence Rowland. He has
plenty of blarney for those players
who fall for II. He has plenty of
rough stuff for those that need II.
In other words. Gleason is the right
man to handle one OF the hardest
characters in the history Of baseball.
Bugs" Raymond had a keeper ap-
pointed to take care OF him. "Ossle"
Schreckengost was RUDE WAddell's
private follower. Amos RusIe had
friends who tried their best, only to
fail. But not one had Kid Gleason
try his art. Now ComIskey wants the
KID TO take Caldwell in hand. He
may succeed, though the betting is
against him.

CHICAGO, July 1s.-This fellow
Clark Griffith is q bear for punish
ment. With yesterdays double de-
feat bearing down his shoulders and
another twin bill with the league
leaders on tap for this afternoon,
Griff speaks like a major Of cham
pions. He says the present Ameri-
can League race is far from over;
that the White and Red Sox are slip
ping and that big surprise will pop
before very long. In a roundabout
way he intimates the Senators are
going to be in on the big doings.
Griff has been inhaling too much
Packingtown ozone.
Griff is working on the theory
that his pitchers are just beginning
to show themselves. He thinks he
has a whale OF a staff. He also
thinks--And in a measure IL justified
that he has q hitting team. He Is
not so sure about his fielding
strength and In this respect he 10 on
the right track. as the Senators are
4 bit too much on the in-and-out
order so far as defense Is concerned.
They lose just as many games
through errors as through poor pitch
ing, so until the former deficiency
10 shaken off there IL no reason to
believe that Griff can do much bet
from . distance.
He Gives No Reason.
The "OId Fox" gives no reason for
believing the White and Red Hose
are on the skids. He just thinks It
and lets II 60 at that There are
plenty to argue with him, however,
especially In this neck OF the woods
Out here the fans are OF the firm
conviction that the White Sox will
pop with easa. Arguments are based
on the fact that as the half way
mark is reached the Chieagoans are
leading the league and haven't yet
displayed their true form.
Real 800 hitters have been going
along at a $50 clip, and supposedly
good pitchers have been arratic as
Teuton cabinet members. II the
bunch get going It is easily seen that
II will take a miracle to overtake
them.
Has Tough Luck.
Grin had a little tough luck here
yesterday or might have escaped
with at least one game OF the double
header. An error by Risberg on top
Of Shanks' triple let the Senators tie
the score in the ninth. and there fol-
lowed a series o. events that should
