Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. CORBET-T

 been told repeatedly of the daring and prowess of Cobb cn the baselines. His seasoned mates had recounted tales Of how the Southern Typhoon'' raced around the bases with reckless abandon and seemed almost unaware of the pres ence of catchers who had intent to halt him as he was ppfering his way to- ward the plate.
 After listening to all of these tales for some tirNe kritchell calmly rennrked
 'I'll get that bird if he ever starts to steal on me-
 Whereupon his associates snickered A short while afterward Kritchel was behind the bat for the Browns when they played against the Tigers. Ty got to first through the medium of single. The way he was prancing up and down gave krit- | chell the tipoff that the Georgian was making ready to set sail for second. Just as the next pitch was made Ty was off i like a shot The ball came squarely into Krtchell's hands, but he remuffed it and | then he added to the misery of the Brow <, nie rooters by kicking the ball around But suddenly he recovered it and al though Cobb was just going into second at the time, Kritchell hurled the ball
 with full force to the third batsman yell l ing:
 Get him as he comes into third.' i Cobb, noticing that the catcher was
 having difficulty in retrieving the horse
 hide, decided to try to make third lp 1 safety The result was that he was put i out long before he reached the third bag.
 And then Kritchell. grinning, exclaimed l 'I told you l could get him, didn't =? | That's the way to do it. Don't figure | that guy to steal just one base-figure him l to steal two and stop him when he | goes into the second one.',
 THE VALUE OF OLSON Ivan Olson, of the Brooklyn Dodgers perhaps, is the most eccentric short field 1 CT in the big leagues. He pebbles the 1 ball with greater frequency than any of
 r. his rivals and probably holds the record l for wild throws.
 "Why then does Wilbert Robinson keep him in the lineup when his fielding is so l erratic?" is the question.
 | Olson probably knows as much inside baseball as any man n the game-and he is one of the fightiest athletes that ever ! dug his elects into a diamond. Robinson undoubtedly will tell you that Olson is l one of the most valuable players in the game today. He is an inspiration for his whole team; magnetic leader who by his own indomitable spirit enthuses his Associates to battle on and on, no matter | what odds are against them.
 Olson loses many games during sea- son because of his weakness in fielding But Olson. by strategy, wins far more games and he wins others by his timely hitting and saves more through brilliant

 The famous head first slide perfected by Mike King Kelly is being revived by the Giants-and with splendid results.
 Hal Chase has been for many years one of the very few opponents In pase tull of the head on slide into the initial sack Through the medium of this Chase very often has beaten out hits that might have been impossible by the use of any other method Halls success through the training camp days with the Giants convinced McGraw and his athletes that there wns something worth while in the slide.
 And now most of the Giants tearing for first base on a close play dive headlong into the bag-and they are beating many throws in that fashion.
 It is quite obvious to any spectator that a hend first slide has it's advantages in the saving of time. All that is necessary is for a player running toward first to hurl himself forward in the natural way that he is going. There is no need for any stacking in speed to boise himself for the leap Rather, his flight toward the bag gives him impetus for just such slide. On the other hand foot first slide requires batter to slow up momen- tarily so that he can bring his body up straight or incline it toward the base so as to give him a proper position for holding his legs at the lag.
 Undoubtedly the splendid results the Giants are securing from the head first slide will bring about a general revival of this trick of baseball that almost went to it's death when the immortal King Kel'' quit the game.
 HOW KRITCHELL STOPPED COBB This is a story concerning Ty Cobb a little different than most of the others and one that stands out as one of the very best yarns ever sprung concerning the mighty Georgian.
