Sisler Is Told to
Emulate Ty Cobb

George Sisler will have no one 70
blame but himself IL he doesn't go out
and play the game off the map. he -
free 20 go the limit.
Manager Fielder Jones, who has been
accused Of trying to do the thinking
for his whole team. had a heart-to-
heart talk with Ssler the other day
and spoke to the Michigan star some
thing like this:
"You are the best player in base
ball outside of Ty Cobb. At your age
and with your ability you ought to be
as good a player in time as Cobb, or
even better, if that's possible. But
YOU won't unless you get out and do
things like Cobb does-initiate plays.
I'd like to see you start something
once in while"
"Ty's been in the game ten years.
This is only my second year, and |
don't want to appear fresh said SIS
Ter.
You're all wrong" answered Jones.
81 want you to be just as fresh as
they make them, If you call it that.
Here are your standing orders:
Play your own game. Hit when you
please, run as far as you like, steal
when you think the time is ripe, make
the others play after you or ahead
Of you. DO just what rs Cobb does
on his team-be the whole thing
Jones believes these instructions, II
carried out, will make Sisler a greater
player. He thinks he has been too
diffident He wants TO see him pull
some Of the stuff that Ty pulls and be-
lieves he can get away with just as
much Of il.
Jones is always preaching Cobb to
his players, but il is more than any
manager could expect that any con-
siderable number could 60 out and do
Cobb stuff He really believes Sisler
can. though. At least he wants him
to try.

Old Sam Crawford
Still In Pursuit
Of His 5000 Hits

Sam Crawford, now in his nineteenth
season in the big league, and, with the
exception of Hans Wagner, the oldest
player in the big show. is grieving as
the days 60 by. His grief is not due to
the fact that he is literally and fgurs-
lively on his last legs, and is also
mostly on the bench for Detroit, but
because he sees his ambition TO make
5000 hits in fast company is slipping
beyond his attainment.
Sam yesrrs 10 be in the class with
Hans Wagner, Larry Lajoie and Cap
tain Adrian c. Arson, the only men
who have attained that mark, but it is
doubtful whether Sam will arrive.
When the 1915 season ended Sam
had l3l hits to 60 TO reach 5000. Old
Man Time got busy with Sam in 1915,
and the 131 hits which he would have
thought bad year in the period when
he was averaging more than 1873 per
year did not materialize. He played
in an even 100 games and made ninety
two hits. Manager Hughey Jennings
had TO find and break in a faster and
younger man for Sans Job in the out
field and the veteran was the victim of
circumstances.
This year Sam will have to make
thirty-nine hits to reach grand total
Of 5000 for his career in the majors,
and unless something unforeseen occurs
he will not succeed. He has made only
half doze., hits since June l, and as
he is doing nothing but pinch hitting
he will be extremely lucky if he makes
thirty-three more hits in that capacity.
Even il he hit for a batting average
of 800 he would have TO step 10 the
plate sixty-six more times, as Sam is
not figuring on batting average, but ac-
tual hits. 4 split of fifty-hfty with the
pitcher in pinches is almost too much
TO expect, even If Sam gets siXty-six
more chances.
His only chance lies in number of
accidents Detailing the Detroit out
fielders, which would bring him back
into the lineup daily for a longer or
shorter time, but Sam is too good a
sportsman to hope for anything Of the
sort

10th and Bowling to Meet
in Thirty-Mile Race
Here To-day

The recent performances of Miss
Claire Gslligan, Of the local National
Women's Lifesaving League, and Miss
Dorothy Burns, of the Los Angeles A.

month Of several American swimming
records for women. Both girls are now
racing in Honolulu, but they will re-
turn shortly and go on tour together
70 take part in a number Of important
events. including some A. A. L. national
championships.
Considering, then, that in the one
mile title swim Miss Burns pressed her
rival so hard that the latter would UNI
questionsbly have set a new mark had
conditions been normal, while last Mon
dsy in Honolulu she forced Miss Gal
ligan TO hang up record figures at the
furlong in order to beat her, 10 looks as
if either one were travelling fast
enough to wipe out standards at all
classic distances in between.
The thirty-mile Marathon swim TO be
held to-day in the Hudson River will
bring TO the mark two mermen of ma
tonal calibre in Charles 10th, of Bos-
ton. holder Of the American record OF
Il hours 81 minutes for continuous
swimming, and Robert Bowling, OF this
city, who circleG Manhattan Island two
years ago in - hours - minutes.
Others are entered, but there IS some
doubt about their appearance. The
present plan is for the contestants to
start from the Battery at $3.50 a. m,
20 to Spuyten Duyvil on the food tide,
then try TO return to the Battery on the
ebb. Bowling, however,,is anxious to
suit his opponents and If they have any
suggestions to make arrangements may
be changed just before the start.
