TY co68, IN sgd YEAR
is BEST DRAWING CARD

Ty Cobb is in his thirty-secOnd
year. He has been playing with
the DetrOits since 1905. the only
year in which his batting aver
age was less than 300. The
Georgia Peach has been the
champion batsman of the Ameri-
can league at the end of each
campaign since 1907. excepting
1916, when Iris Speaker had a
better average. CObb's great
est batting record was .42O, be-
ing hung up in 1911. Last year
he batted 1888. and never played
more brilliantly. In spite Of ad-
vancing years, Cobb still is in
his prime. He is easily the
greatest ball player Of all time,
and he is worth the $4,000 sal
airy which the Detroit club has
been paying him since 1914. As
Il drawing card Tyrus Raymond
stands mt the head Of the class.

| university and what 1t Is doing to de-
Felop the undergraduate body for
war and public service.

! train, went to the home Of Mrs. Alex
| ander Troup,, Sr., for breakfast. Then
| began his busy day for every minute
was to be occupied until In the eve
ming when he will be the central fig
ure in the war rally at Woolsey Hall
under direction Of the naval unit and
the loan committee. AS guest Of both
| city and Yale, Mr.. Daniels strove for
| q fair division Of time. The break
fast over he WAS taken. by machine,
| by Rear Admiral Chester NJ. Colby,
com mandant. to the Adee boathonse
where the naval unit had been mus
tered for inspection. and drill, both
on the landing stages and in boats on
the harbor.
From the boathouse the party
made a, flying trip TO munitions fac-
! tories where tho process Of fabricat-
GLIDING automatic rifles which were
recently dem onstrated IN Washington,
was looked over. At one factory Sec
retary Daniels made an open air ad-
dress to thousands Of employees In
behalf OF the loan.
1t was raining when Secretary Dan
iels made his noon-day address in
the open. Ie said that soldiers and
sailors alone were not fighting the
war; ali the republic must be mo-
bilized to win It and the great en-
terprises which are turning out mu-
nitions, and the people are in them,
ere all enlisted on the side of America
to carry on to victory Mr.. Daniels
exhorted his hears to take Liberty
Bonds to the limit OF their ability as
a duty and a privilege.
In the course Of his address Score
tary Daniels said that these were
anxious but not ominous times. Sec
rotary Baker had told him Of the
spirit of confidence which pervaded
our troops in France and of SIM
thar feeling Of confidence held by the
soldiers of Great Britain, France and
Italy Mr.. Daniels said his life was
made miserable by desires of $4,000
of the $50, 900 men in the navy to be
placed on destroyers to go across the
ocean looking for q, fight. Mr.. Daniels
said that Germany never would win
while the allied fleet rides the sea.
The navy men were praying daily for
the Germans to come out and fight.
He paid a tribute to New Haven
and Yale and said the Yale men IN
the navy had done so we'll that he
wanted more of them. AS to selec-
tive service If there are not men
enough between Fl and 81 the age
limit will be raised even if it goes
to rs.
Referring to seditious remarks, MI.
Daniels said that If there are not
enough jails now enough will be built
to accommo date everyone who speaks
against the United States. A pessi-
mistic American. he said, was AZ bad
as g German spy.
