However. there is no sign OF crack

as good ball as did their foes.
In New York both the, Yanks and
White Sox played bad and good ball

II Cobb Here To-day.
Mr.. Griffith will do well to have his
pitching staff In the best Of shape for
the coming OF the Jungaleers today
for one Tyrus Raymond Cobb prom,
nets while spending his afternoons at
Georgia avenue. Indeed. the immortal
Tyrus is now striding along in front
OF the league procession OF individual
svatters, and since he got going on
June has hung UP the handsome
average of .455.
Ty was sick when the season open
ed. He was in poor shape for a full
month after the race was on. This in
terfered with his fielding, hitting. and
running. Many thought they saw signs
of breakdown in his daily work. He
sat on the bench for q while, being
too i'll to play. Then he recovered and
began picking up on the boys out in
front.
Beginning on June 4, Cobb has gone
~ vat NO AAAAAGGs NA11AAAb OAN VI AAAos
totaling % bases, and achieved an
average Of .44s. Seven OF his drives
have been triples and three were dou-
bles. No home runs are noted.
From June 10 he hit safely in six
straight games. On June II he OPEN
ed another streak that ran for ten
games in which he did not fail TO hit
safely at least once. On June 20 he
began an eight-straight attack on the
hurlers, and he has now hit safely in
six straight contests.
Because Of the teams weakness,
Cobb has been seen at first base and
second base. as well as in center field,
his rightful position. He was willing
to play anywhere. II the team might
benefit He did his best. that's all.
Have a Wide Margin
The Griffmen hav a wide margin
over the Tigers in their games played
thus far this season. Breaking even
in four games decided here. the
Grlffs went to Detroit and took four
out Of five on their first swing around
the circuit They caught Jennings
gang going on the rocks and took
every advantage OF their weakness.
But things are different now. The
Tigers have found a punch and good
twirling, which Is q mighty good
combination.
Mr.. Jennings troupe is running
along in seventh place. It has small
chance Of finishing in the first d.
vision, but II has a very good chance
to cause trouble among the leaders.
Any time the Jungaleers do any hit
ting behind Boland. Dauss or Kallio,
they have a chance to win. for these
three twirlers can produce the goods.
Unless Pep" Young is in condition
to play second base. II will be with
only DOME Bush playing the same
position he did the last timee the
Tigers were here.

Republicans Put It to Use.

There is no Eainsaying the fact that
the republicans made a powerful drive
along that line in the late campaign.
They pounded in the idea everywhere
Of the overmaStering control of Con-
ereSS i'll both branches and all inn
portan. committees by the solid south.
They made it clear that the only way
to remedy the situation was to change
the complexion of the Congress They
pointed out that democrats in control
meant u section in control, through
seniority and preponderance of mem
bership.
The democratic membership on
committees and the democratic lead
ership on the floor in the next House
will remain under exactly the same
auspices, it is declared at the Capitol.
The democrats will drop down to VII
but hold their relative positions in
the minority list as they did IN the
ma jority. SO If the wheel turns again
they will como up smiling once more
at the top.
It is pointed out that IL the admin
istration and the northern democrats
in the national management push the
suggestion of overthrowing Champ

mittee leaders from their positions

the vested interests of the mass Of
