 TUOHY BATTLE

New York, Oct. 9-WiIIie Jackson fresh from his knockout victory over Eddie Morgan, of England, at Phil adelphia on Monday night, returned to his training quarters in Harlem yesterday and today will resume his preparations for the match with Tom my Tuohy, whom he is to meet at the aIl-star boxing show of the New ark Sportsmen's club next Monday night.
 Jackson is going better than ever,'' said his manager, Doc BagIey. Hes got the old k. o. in full swing now. and, believe me, he's going to go through the list till he gets to Benny Leonard and cops that title. We're going to hound Leonard for the match. Jackson will take 'em all on, one after the other, anc 1T he doesn't knock 'em out-weu, they'll have to be better than he is, that's all"

Eddie Collins, Who Has Been In Slump During Series, Also Came to Life Yesterday Reds Had No Hero.

Cincinnati. Oct. - Joe Jackson, the hard hitting outfelder of the White SOX, once more asserted him self yesterday and drove in two runs just enough to win the game. FeIsch drove in the other two. The counters for which Jackson was re sponsible were made possible by John Collins, who suddenly rose to the magnitude of 8 real star and became the batting hero of the day.
 John, whom some call Shano, got three hits, two singles and a double, the two baser being cOmbed off Luque, a righthander. It had been understood that Collins could not hit a righthander under any Circum- stances, and because of that under standing Memo LelboId had been used whenever a, righthanded pitcher was in the box for the Reds. But when Fisher and then Luque took the mound for the Cinctnnatls Kid Glea- son refused to make any change. Perhaps he remembered that Neale of the Reds, who was supposed to be unable to hit lefthanders, got three hits off Kerr Tuesday.
 With the rise of the White sox to their full might came 2 similar rise on the part of Eddie Collins The great second baseman had been play ing sally an ordinary game in the field and had not been hitting. While he still left something to be desired in so far as his work at second was concerned, for he made an error and let one ball go through him for a hit which should have been an out, Collins found his batting orb. He accounted for 8 couple of singles, both of which figured in the run making,
 For the Reds there was nary a hero. Rath, Groh. Duncan, Neale and Wfngo made the five hits credit cd to the Reds. Nobody got more than one hit. Duncan's was the most important of the five, for it came after Groh had doubted to left in the sixth inning and scored the run which enabled the Cincinnatis to escape a ShutOut

TY COBB ALWAYS
 TRIES TO GET GOAT
 OF OPPOSING CATCHER

St. Louis, Oct 9-Catchers who are behind the plate when Ty Cobb is batting have interesting times of it T'y makes 1t interesting. But the Georgia Peach does not always get the beaG of the attempts at goat get ting" Indeed some of them have learned down to fine point just where Tvs nanny lives and quite ire qucntIy it is captured. For instance, a recent match of wits and skill in which Hank Severoid, catcher for the St. Louis Browns, rather put 1t over on the Detroit star.
 When Ty came to bat in the first inning Severoid, squatting behind the plate, remarked gently that Tyrus did not seem to be stealing so many bas- es as jn former years. Cobb threw back a genial retort to the effect that he would steal Severoid's glove before the game ended. Whereupon the wager was made that he would or wouldn't
 Ty walked. Directly he reached firts base he waved to the St. Louis catcher that he would go down. He tried to do so and was killed. SeverOid to Gerber.
 In the third inning the Peach nev- CT reached first, being thrown at first. But in the sixth, ne walked again and stole second stand ing up. He tried to steal third and was thrown out. Severoid to Austin.
 Tvs last time at bat came in the eighth. He hit safely to left field. Il was a legitimate single-nothing more. But Cobb rounded first like 3 ghost and stretched the hit to a two bagger. sliding beautifully under Ger ber's hand. Then he waved again tc severoid that he meant to steal third The catcher called for a waste ball but notwithstanding this, Cobb tore for third and made it, SeVeroid in his haste to throw to that bag, dropped the ball.
 Tyrus gave him a, hearty laugh anG beckoned scornfuIIy for Severoid's glove. Eeveroid said nothing but sig naled for another wide one, which he got. Cobb had strolIed off third ant the catcher whipped the ball to Aus tin like a bullet. And the veteran third baseman grinned and put it or Cobb before he could slide back tc the base.

Carrying the idea of cooperation still further they pur- chased many pieces of; real estate, to- talling 92,00o square feet in the Seventh avenue section and have ob- tained options on 102s000>esquare feet more.
 Plans now contemplate the con- struction of four cooperative factory buildings of sixteen stories each with
 combined floor space of 100000
 square feet at a yearly rental cost of approximately S700,000. about 50 cents square foot as against S2.50 a square | foot which many of the manufacturers are now paying. The men interested | in the project estimate a saving or nol Hess than 5000, 900 a year in rent alone, and other similar economies they say, will effectively slash the | high cost of living as regards Wo- mems garments A reduction o1 from s1 to s725 per garment will be
 possible, they say, as a result of the i stoppage of inflated rents. Sixty gar. ment manufacturers with an, annua output valued at s65o,oo9,6 900 are .tc begin the new venture and other line: of trade are to be invited to join tht movement as it's practicality and wis l dom are demonstrated.
