Herzog was stopping over in Jack

he was traded with Pitcher Barnes

Doyle, formerly a Giant, has been
with the Cubs for a couple Of seasons,
but was traded to Boston this winter
on the trade which sent Tyler to Chi
cago. He was Boston property Just

the trade with McGraw.
The Doyle-Herzog trade was one OF

lilly Smith After Gri Adopt Arrangement
.ATHLETTCSM
BE COMPULSORY
General Athletics for All at
Harvard, Specialized
Sport for None.

Cambridge. Mass, Feb. 1o.-A sys-
tenn Of compulsory athletics 10 more
than likely to be put in force at Har-
ward after the war. The Inauguration
of such q plan at Cambridge fs
stanchly approved by Or. Dudley A.
Sargent, director Of the Hemenway
gymnasium, and Fred w. Moore.
graduate manager of the Harvard
Athletic Association.
These men admit that the present
war has shown them that college ath-
letics, as they have been conducted
for a number Of years, are all wrong;
that the attention paid to the
specialized few, to the detriment Of
the many, IL objectionable. and that
now with the country in nneed Of the
well-developed youngster for q mans
job overseas the American colleges
can give only q handful, when
rightly they should be contributing
by the thousands. -
''I certainly do favor the adoption
of a form of compulsory, athletics at
Harvard" said Fred w. Moore, who
has virtually abandoned his desk at
the offices of the H. A. A 10 order
to carry out his new dHties as captain
in the Quartermasters reserve corps.
"Our colleges have learned to their
sorrow that the system in use for the
furtherance of athletics Is dead
wrong. We have been following a
will % the wisp. as IL were. only to
have been blown SO far away. by the
war that I hope 1t never returns.
cannot say that Harvard will adopt
such a radical though rational step
after the war, but ] personally favor
it"

HOW LONG WILL
TY COBB LAST?
Georgia Peach Is Now Old
est American Lacquer
In Service.

Another distinction has been added
to the long list belonging to Tyrus
Raymond Cobb. With the passing OF
Sam Crawford from the majors and
the relegation of Terry Turner to the
role Of substitute the flying Georgian
becomes the grand old man OF the
League. 1t seems peculiar that one
as young as Tyrus should enjoy such
a distinction, but he has succeeded to
the title. He passed his 31st birthday
only month ago and while there
are players in the American League
who are older than the Georgian
Peach no other player in active ser
vice can look back upon as many
years in major league harness as Ty-
rus.
For many years Napoleon Lajoie
was the veteran OF the junior league
having first Joined the ranks OF Ban
Johnson's cohorts back in 1901. Sam
Crawford came into the organization
in 1905. Both heavy hitters have play
ed their final game in the league
where they gained their greatest
fame, and now the continuous, SER
vice title falls upon the speedy and
heavy-hitting Cobb. Terry Turner
came into the league one year before
Cobb first flashed his greatness at
Detroit, and Terry has been on the
Cleveland payroll continuously ever
since 1904. but he was relegated to the
substitute ranks some time ago. and
Cobb goes on, his skill in all-around
work still eclipsing the field.
Judging from his batting record OF
.S3 and his speed, which netted more
than fifty stolen bases in 1871, Cobb
seems destined to go on for many
years more as a regular. Ty played
his first professional game in 1904.
when he Joined the Admission. Ala,
club OF the Southeastern League. He
went to the Augusta club of the South
Atlantic League the same season, op-
ened the 1906 campaign with Augusta
and was sold late in August to De
troit. He has been a regular at Detroit
since late in 1906. Ty was less than 1s
when he came into the majors and
this is mainly responsible for the fact
that at 81 he is the veteran OF an or
ganization numbering close to 10
players.
Many major league cutfielders are
older than Cobb, but none has seen
the same length of service as a regu-
Jar in basebalrs top society. Dode Pas
kert, Sherwood Magee, Cactus Cra-
vath, Jack Collins. Bert Shotten and
Jimmy Walsh are among the fly
chasers older than Cobb but younger
in nfsSor league service. Paskert, like
Cobb, continues to hold his own as a
regular despite his number Of years
in professional baseball

THAT
CAN HIT SCARCE
Ray Caldwell May Become
Out6elder Because Of
Batting Ability.

The spectacle OF . pitcher pinch
hitting in q ball game II rather an
unusual one. Pitchers, as q gen.
eral rule, are rather expected to
be weak hitters. Their activities
are generally confined to keeping
the other fellow from hitting and
not to do any hitting themselves.
But now and then q pitcher
comes along who is not only at
home on the slab, but who can do
his duty at the plate.
Perhaps the greatest Of these Is
Babe Ruth, the Boston southpaw,
whose stickwork last year earned
him batting average of 1926.
But when the New York Yam
KEGS were playing last season 1t
was not an unusual occurrence for
Ray Caldwell, the tall right
handler, to be called from his place
on the bench to bat for some other
pitcher, or maybe an infield- and
sometimes an outfielder. The
Yankees were painfully weak with
the willow last season and Cald-
we'll. although only getting into
action at intervals. was a safer
risk than some OF the regulars.
There is a possibility that Ray
may be moulded into an outfielder
this year by Manager Miller Hug
gins. and the possibility isn't so
very remote. Huggins needs some
outfield material. It is very likely
he will be unable to buy what he
wants. although it is admitted that
he will have plenty Of money to
spend on the right man. Huggias
would jump at q chance to buy Ty
Cobb. Bob Veach. Iris Speaker,
Clyde Milan or Happy Felsh,, but
there isn't the remotest possibility
that any of these men will be
placed on the market.
And said market isn't glutted
with outfield material this year.
The clubs which have good out
fielders are hanging on to them.
Huggins likely will start the sea-
SON with about the same outfield
he had last year. which was no.
toriously weak Caldwell is a Dos
sibility and 1t Is just a question of
whether he will be worse. needed
in the field or - in the box. Cald-
well Is a fair fielder and could be
developed into one of frst-class.
He is a good hitter and undoubt-
edly would improve If sent to the
plate day after day.
II this should occur 1t would be
interesting as sthe first time in
many years when a regular pitcher
has been made into a regular out
nelder on big league club.
