AS Future Prospect
Sisler Is Greater
Asset Than Cobb

Il would not trade George Sister for
Ty Cobb"
If Bobbie Quinn had done nothing else
20 make himself known to the baseball
world that declaration would have done
il.
Ty Cobb. the super-ban player; Tyrus,
the king Of swat. the greatest of them
all. not good enough for one side Of a
baseball trade
At first blush the idea is preposterous
Ty Cobb is the greatest attraction in
baseball. He draws thousands Of dol
lars at the gates. He is personally re-
sponsible for the winning Of more bail
games perhaps than any other bali
player.
But-Ty Cobb is thirty-one years old.
He has been playing major league bali
for thirteen seasons. Cobb has not start
ed to go back yet. but his greatest years
are behind him
George Sisler is twenty-four. He has
played big league baseball for three
years. Last year he was outranked only
BY Cobb and Speaker as q batter in the
American League. He is a wonderful
first baseman. He would make a splen-
did outhelder. He is a remarkable pitch
er. His base running is superb.
Unless all signs fail his great test
years are ahead Of him.

OWLS WIN
FROM GARY
LAST NIGHT

WHITING. IND. March s.-whiting
discovered on Wednesday that Gary has
a real basketball team even though they
were on the short end of a 50 to 25
score in a game with the Whiting Owls.
Gary surprised itself in holding the
classy Whiting five to an even break in
the first half Of the game. Some OF the
fans that came from Gary felt after
this half that the Gary ~ team would
open up in the second stanza and hull
the on city boys to sleep. But the
reverse was more or less true.
The game started slowly The Gary
boys seemed to have Schaefer's num-
her and the Owls Club pivot man had
his difficulty in keeping out Of the way
of Kneisly the Gary center. He mana <
ed however to push one in that added
a couple OF points to the clubs score.
Both Weiss and Esan were somewhat
OF color so that Rhodes slipped thru
for I'VE pretty baskets in the fore half.
This enabled the ~" team 10 stay in
the race for one-half the game
Whiting fans knew. however, that
better ammunition was in store for the
steel city boys and were not surprised
when Eddie Pond began putting them
from all angles. Gary fought all the
way. but it awaited them naught as
Freuing injected sufficient pep into the
boys to run the score up a bit Fouls
were numerous but nothing serious vas
reported.
The game between the Bessemer Park

WILL ISSUE SUGAR
CARDS FOR CANNING
Certificates Authorize Purchase OF
Twenty-Five Pounds for Pre-.
serving Purposes

Philadelphia housewives are assured
a sufficient amount of sugar for homo
canning and preserving.
After May Is each family will be
permitted to buy twenty-five pounds OF
sugar, in addition to the amount re.
quired for normal use. To make such
purchase, however, a signed certificate,
outlined by the food administration,
must be presented to dealers. thereby
eliminating all possibility of boarding.
THE previous sugar ruling limiting
the purchase of sugar In cities In
amounts of from two to five pounds still
holds good" Jay Cooke. administrator
for Philadelphia, said today. For the
consumer who desires to obtain an addi-
tional amount, even up to twenty-five
pounds, It will be necessary to obtain
certificate from the grocer or dealer to
that effect"
The certificate to be presented TO the
dealers states the amount of the sugar
purchase desired, the amount of sugar
which the family has on hand. and tho
amount used by 1t for canning last year.
The certificate also contains "A pledge
that the family agrees not to order an
amount in excess of its actual canning
requirements, and to use the sugar OBJ
tained for no other purpose than that
specified,
Grocers must provide their own print
ed forms of certificates and forward all
certificates received to Mr.. Cooke
