Ty Cobb Ready to. Face
Gas and Flame Battery

Ty Cobb, worlds greatest hero in
baseball. took a flying leap into fur
ther fame yesterday when he signed
up to enter Camp Humphreys, Va.
having been commissioned N the
chemical warfare service, most dam
gerous of all. Cobb has faced every
kind of battery there is in the Ma
tional game but he will be up against
something new this time.
Gas-and- flame soldiers usually go
into action ahead of the tuacking
waves of infantry. The flame men
carry tanks on their backs and Gd-
vance against the enemy under cover
of artillery barrage, squirting flames
of liquid fire from noZzles attached to
tanks of the fluid which they carry
on their backs. The gas men, when
advancing to the attack, carry n sack
of gas-filled bombs which they hurl
into the trenches and 1ugouts after
the fashion of grenade -throwers.
When the wind is right gas offensives
other than those in whicn shells are
used, are launched by burying gas
filled drums in front Of the sectors
to be so attacked ana loosing the
deadly fumes when the wind direc-
tion and atmospheric conditions are
most favorable. The preparation of
Sucn OitenSlNeS Involves SO much
labor that they are rarely resorted
to nowadays especially in view OF the
fact that if the enemy learns OF
them in advance his troops put on
their gas masks or are removed from
the front lines until the attack is
over.
Training experts are predicting to-
day that Cobb will never be the same
star after he goes through tais SER
vice.
Coht won't ha5e his speed. He
would have lost some of that, any
way. He may nor have the same
nervous energy. the gas service, as
said. being one "h9- is rated espec-
tally trying on mems nerves. In his
case, and in the cases of other high
IL strung athletes. there will be a
reaction that will unfit them for
baseball more than any mere ply
steal deterioration.
Cobb is 32 years old and he is bid
ding good-by to the game as the star
OF stars. In 1913 he could do most Of
the things that he dill when he was
25. in year when he gave an all
