 Probably no player in baseball history has been referred to as dirty player as often as I have been,' declared Cobb, in reviewing his spectacular diamond ca reer. The indictment of me by the fans has been due largely to the fact that have been unfortunate enough to spike a number of players going into the bags.
 I've often wondered if those who have condemned me ever have stopped to look at things from my side It is true that I have spiked a number of players, but I think that in ratio to stealing efforts, my record of spilsings is smaller by far than that of the average ball player. l think my record will show an average of about 50 stolen bases per season. At least 100 other times per season l have been thrown out trying to steal. That makes a total of about 15O stealing efforts per year. or over 2ooo during my entire ca- reer.
 And how many men have I cut down. don't remember the exact number my self, but don't think 1t has gone beyond 10. Assuming that to be the correct fig ure it means that have spiked only one pilayer in every 200 stealing efforts. Is that bad record? Is that what can be construed as dirty ball playing?
 Those who have been my enemies have insisted that my method of going into bases is one in which l show utter disregard for the life or limb of an oppos- ing baseman. I contend that they are wrong. It is true that my method or sliding differs somewhat from other play CTS, but my method has been success full one. | rarely have made long slides, because experience has shown to me that the shorter. full-speed slide is the more successful.
 q was in the ball games for the pur- pose of assisting my team to wins And one way in which I could help to accom- plish it was to move around the bases as quickly as possible. If a short slide was more successful, why didn't l have the license to use it? There are no fixed rules in sliding. A player can use the type that he feels is most efficient. And felt that way about the short, and so- called vicious slide.
 Every man who plays the game knows that the base lines belong to the base run ner. It is up to the baseman to keep off those lines. If he remains on them he does so at his own peril. He has abso- lutely no license to attempt to block on a man going into the bag. 1 knew my rights as a base runner, and I always saw to it that I got them. l drove the baseman off the lines when I was run ming into the bags, but I had the right to do so and no one can call 1t dirty playing for runner to secure his rights.
 q always have felt that large part of a baserunner's success lay in a short but quick slide. When I went into the sacks never threw myself at the bag until l was a few feet away from it. By that move I figured I could trick the opposing

common error-slowing down a little be- fore I started to slide. That very slow ing down lost & fraction of a second for me and that was just about enough to enable the baseman to put the ball on me Through weeks. months and even years practiced making a slide without the lessening of my speed-practiced throw ing myself at bag without pausing for even a fraction of a second in going to the ground. And because practice makes perfect I guess I accomplished my aim.
 "But because was able to make slide without slowing down and went into the bases at full speed, my critics have in sisted that it was vicious playing, ana dirty playing. Strange, isn't 1t. JimT

It reveals differ ent Ty Cobb than fandom has known--the real Ty Cobb; it re- veais some of the inside details of of his career. It is a story different than has ever been written before and one that no lover of baseball should miss.

TEXAS FLYER TELLS ' STORY OF FIGHTS OVER MARINE FIELD San Antonio Man DOwned Five and Forced Sixth to
 Descend TOOK PRISONER AND
 RESCUED AN ALLY Chamberlain's Exploit Has Been De- scribed As One of the Most
 Remarkable Air Feats of
 Entire War

Washington. September 1s.-(SpeciaD The marine corps headquarters has made public the report rendered to the British authorities by Lieut.. Ed mund G. Cham berlain of the marine corps, who, while operating with the British air forces recently downed five enemy planes, forced sixth to descend, rescued a wounded French colonial, routed German infantry scout party and took one prisoner.
 Lieutenant Chamberlain, whose home is in San Antonio, Tex. has been recommended for a captaincy and a medal of honor. He has been recom- mended for a Victoria Cross by the British. His story is one of unusual Yankee pluck and initiative in the face of big odds.
 Following is Chamb erlains report:
 We left the grounds at sos o'clock in forma ton and joined the bombers at 10 over the Marne. The going was calm with some machine guns and anti aircraft from the ground, but not much, and the bombers had wonderful time; i; hit train which blew up and raised an awful stew. Then We started home and were attacked by 30 strong. A good fight followed We lost three machines and the Hun three. He then Withdrew and we were a bit scattered, but got together again, having fought our way well eastward. A few miles further on, in formations of 10 each, the Hun came at us again, and this time soutnumbered us nearly 10 to 1. We had an awful dog fight and we1ost nd n Hun. I got several bullets in my plane, and one partly disabled my engine made it die on me every few minutes or so, and then run fine for a spell and one gun damned.
 Two other fghters-myself and one French bomber-found ourselves sepa- rated and bound home together, only kept losing altitude and tried to fix my gun, but it wouldn't fix, and had only about 100 shots left in the remaining gun.
 12 ENEMY PLANES SIGHTED
 About eight miles from the line and in a fair anti-aircraft fire I was trying to get the damned shell out of my gun when all was quiet. I knew that meant enemy aircraft about, and I looked up to see 12 enemy aircraft fighters-a circus lot--oircling my companion quite ways above me and one coming for me. My engine was missing badly and it had just gone dead a minute be- fore, but I went to meet the enemy air. craft just like I meant it and fired just to break the strain and he suddenly pitched and dived straight for the ground and kept on going rather un- evenly. l guess got his engine. Just then my enine came alive and I started up to join the buzzard dance of about 10 to and make it II to three, as the odd one was sitting high-evidently the leader-and watching for some one to slaughter.
 My companions were darting this way and that, trying to force the circle, but the Huns were maneuvering, tightening the circle gradually. They didn't see me

The fact of the case are these. In
every cantonment in this country,
and with every army division abroad
are representatives Of the Red Cross,
whose duty it is to study the needs OF
the men in the army In Paris is the
French Commission headed by James
H. Perkins, and having on its staff
some of the keenest Of our American
business men. These men are in con-
slant communication with General
Pershing and the higher army offic-
ers. They report to the Red Cross
War Council IN Washington compos-
ed Of such men as Henry P. Dawson,
George B. Case, John D. Ryan, Har-
vey D. Gibson and Cornelius N. Bliss
Jr. In cooperation with the War and
Navy Department and with the War
Industries Board, these men determine
the policy of the Red Cross and what
it's productive activities are to be.
When they make a statement of
need, it is based on careful investi-

cation, both Of the need and of the
available supply of raw material.
They have recently asked American
women to knit for the army and Ma
Wy 100000 pairs Of socks, 2,300, 900
sweaters, and other knitted articles
in proportion. They know what they
are talking about when they make
this request. There can be no ques-
tion that the higher officials, respon-
sible for the care of the American ar
my, want the goods.
If you have a relative in France
do not believe that he has been killed
wounded or captured until you are
officially notified of the fact.
This was the statement made to-
day by Coler Campbell, director of t.he
Bureau Military Relief for the North
ern Division of the American Red
Cross.
Numerous instances" said Mr.,
ton, where relatives of soldiers have
been sadly troubled by rurlors hat
their loved ones had met with misfor-
tunes ir the service. For instance,
Mrs. Smith may have son in France.
Her friend Mrs. Jones tells Mrs.
Brown of the fact. Mrs. Brown IA
turally pessimistic, says, Gracious,
he will surely be killed! and repeats
this prediction to Mrs. Black. Mrs.
Black in repeating to friend, states
the death as a fact. and in no lime
the rumor grows to such proportions
that friends are calling up Mrs Smith
on the telephone 20 condole with her
over The supposed bereavement.
Sometimes it is just idle gossip
such as this; sometimes it seems more
the result of deliberate propaganda 20

nine cases out of a hundred, these
casualty rumors are found to be ut

if you haven't heard this same story

of intelligence this is at once as ridi-

In a recent number of the Literary
Digest was reprinted an article writ
ten by Samuel S. Dale, and entitled
"'Why not to Knit" The writer
states that in his opinion hand knit
socks are made of yarn that is soft,
fluffy and lacking in durability. and
that machine knit socks made of 60
wer priced mixture of cheaper wool,
cotton and shoddy" are immeasura-
bly, superior"
~. Such a statement hardly deserves
an answer, but we are finding that
the fact that it was reprinted in a
periodical of the standing Of the Dig
est has given it a weight that it
does not deserve, and that the minds
of some of our good workers are be-
ing disturbed by it.

BEFORE THE HUN CAME OVER

1t is just bfore the battle,
Evrything so deadly still
You can hear the wind whispering
Through the oak trees on the hill,
And you hear the rats gnawing
Between the dugout walls,
AID you lie upon your straw heap
It's so lively that it crawls.
'TisThe Huns are coming over!
IT'S certain for you've seen
All day their soldiers massing
In their lossy coats of green.
Their artillery has been ranging
On the roads behind the town,
And you wonder if showerin' down.
Your bu1kie is a whetting
On murderous looking knife,
And another one is poundering
Over a letter to his wife,
And another showing bullets
In his rifle magazine,
And another peddling rumors
He heard at the canteen.
And another guy is filling
Up his pockets with grenades,
And another singly softly
Bout rose that never fades.
And you close your eye dreaming
Of your home away out west,
Where the roses are in blossom
And the robins come to nest,
And you see your little mother
Meath the vines around the door,
AID your eys with salt are smartling
And your heart feels shameful sore
And you see your sister singing,
And you see your daddy go
A puttering round the garden
Where his spuds and cabbage grow.
AID you wonder why the nations
fight
| When there's happier things to do
And you curse The guy that started
| All this bloody hullabuloo.
Then another thought come chasing
The curse for mout your mind,
And you think Of how courageous
Are the folks you left behind;
How bravely they have struggled,
AS they smiled and babe you go
To rid the world forever of its mill
tary foe.
And you feel your jaws setting,
And you feel your war blood run
You grip your rifle tighter.
Damn the Huns! Just let 'em come
