through any farther than he does, bui
he keeps his bat almost in front o1
him when the pitcher Is winding uI
and then brings 1t back to his shout
der when about to hit.
By starting his bat from this posi-
ton he undoubtedly gets more &C
curacy, and it also probably helps hin
to chop balls through the infield or in
to vacant sectors Of the outfleld. II
may keep him from pulling as many
long drives into right as some left
handed batters do, but he gets moro
hits thar the others.
Anyhow, Ty is probably satisfied and
Ainsmith will not go back to his old
style. at least not for the present.
Oh. yesl Eddie also walks to the
plate with three bats, pumping them
over his right and then the left
shoulder. OF course, that part may be
due to superstition, so prevalent
among ball players.

AlNSMITH MAKES HIT
q WITH TIGER OUTFIT
Former Washington Catcher Is
Popular In Detroit.
Snappy Action, Constant Chatter and
shril-Like Whistle Have Made
81 Him a Pronounced Favorite.
.fIk Copies cobb's Style.

Eddie Ainsmith, former Washington
catcher, has jumped into popular IA
yor with the Detroit fans. While the
Tigers have always boosted Of cap
able backstops, they have not been
the "peppery" kind. Ainsmith, with
his snappy action, constant chatter
and shrill-like whistle, have made him
a pronounced favorite In Tigerland.
Ainsmith Is catching better than ever
and hitting In fine style. He has
changed his system at the plate. Fig
uring Ty Cobb a pretty fair hitter, he
copied the Georgian's style, and seems
to be getting away with 1t. Let Eddie
tell the story himself.
I've got the wrong style, fellows"
Ainsmith announced to several Of the
Tigers one afternoon on the spring
training trip. 81 like Ty's short, snappy
swing, and am going to bat that way.
No more 200 average for me; I'm out
to graduate into the $50 class mis-
summer.
So day after day during the exhi-
bltion games the catcher seldom took
his eyes Off Cobb when the out1elder
was up, practicing an abbreviated
swift swing from the shoulder himself
instead Of a long sweep from far be-
hind. He began getting results i'm
mediately. All Of his hits have been
sharp drives of the Cobb brand. too,
Cobb does swing differently than
most hard hitters. No one follows

Babe Adams, Veteran Pitcher,
viii Try to Come Back.
After Being Dropped by Pittsburgh In

Charles b. ("Babe") Adams, hero of
the 1909 world series, will try to come
back with the Pittsburgh Pirates this
year. Adams Is thirty-five years old
and q real veteran as pitchers go.
1t was In 1915 that Adams took the
~toboggan with the Pirates and was
labeled as through by the scribes. His
pitching for that year was more or less
Of a joke, for he won but two games
and succeeded In losing nine more be-
fore Barney Dreyfus made up his
mind to let his veteran star go.
In 1917 Adams drifted into the West
ern league. signed up with Jack Hol-
land at Hutchinson and staged a come
back that surprised everybody. He
won 20 games of ball for the Hutchin-
son team and lost ID, and he was
rated as one of the hardest working
pitchers in the league, which has al
ways been noted as a league that bar
bors many a hard-hitting youngster.
and many a crafty old-timer who is
on his way back.
Adams record with the Hutchinson
club won him a trial with John Camel
at Kansas City last season and during
the abbreviated pennant race In which
the Blues won the pennant Adams
captured IA games Of ball and lost but
three for the Kansas City club.
This feat won him his chance to try
a real comeback with the Pirates this
year and his boosters are predicting
that he will make good.

New York Republicans
Appeal to the Senators
Seems of Little Effect

The appeal Of the New York re-
publicans to the senators to support
the league of nations covenant ap-
parently had little effect upon the
senator's who have announced their
determination to oppose the COW
enant. The following opinions were
weed regarding the appeal:
Senator Johnson of California;
neither know nor care about any con-
ference or efforts being made here to
change senator's views. After long
and mature consideration. I reached
! unhampered by financial or other al
liances, would not be for the league Of
nations. If all the men in the United
States who represent international
finance were to command obeisance to
this un-American doctrine, l would
still oppose 1t. 1t Is not as a repub-
lican nor as a partisan. but as an
American for the republic first that 1
am against this document"
Senator Calder of New York; was
twenty-eight New York republicans
this morning by Oscar Straus. 1 have
not even read it. I am glad to get
| their views and shall study the letter
| with great care. But 1 cannot say
at this time whether the letter will
have any effect upon my attitude with
respect Of the league OF nations.
Senator Wadsworth Of New York
1 have not received a copy Of the let
ter. What these gentlemen say in
| nothing more than what they have
been saying right along. 1t doesn't
interest me very much what they
say. for l have my own views of the
league of nations.
Senator Mccormick Of Ilinois-It
| is the same old crowd which has been
| writing letters to US all the time.
Why should anybody pay any atten-
ton to them?
Senator Sherman of Illinois: THE
slightest. l will be very glad to vote
| for peace. but not at the price of vot-
ing for the league of nations as now
proposed. Nothing In this world can
peace. but l am not willing to pay
| that price for it. Let them separate
the league covenant from the treaty
of peace and l will quickly vote for
peace"
| Senator McCumber of North Dako-
ia: THE appeal is a very proper one,
| and very properly suggests that the
record Of the republican party in the
past has been in the interest of the
! peaceful settlement of international
disputes. The question Of the peace
| treaty and the league Of nations should
by no means be made a partisan issue.
The republican party should keep clear
its record in support Of the settlement
of international disputes through
peaceful means"
Senator Capper of Kansas: II think
this appeal by men who have been
who have attained prominence in
prominent in the republican party and
various lines would have some eff
feet. Personally. I think that many
Americans do not realize the serious
| ness of the situation abroad, where.
Il may be said. the people are walk
| ing above a powder magazine or a
volcano. This must be taken into con-
sideration when the question of rati-
fication of the treaty is raised. Delay
| might prove disastrous for the world"

beyond that necessary participa-
ton under the organization of the
league of peace which we enter
upon by the request of tho Euro
pean nations themselves.
Urges Arbitration System.
To return to the subject of ar
bitration and the development of
international law, certainly
should not advise regarding the
league covenant in its present
form as the final word upon an
organization for the preservation
Of the peace of the world. I think
that when the Senate consents to
the ratification of the treaty, with
some such reservations as / have
indicated, 1t ought also to adopt a
separate resolution. not part of
the action upon the treaty, but
practically at the same time, for
mally requesting the President, with
out any avoidable delay, to open
negotiations with the other pow
erS for the establishment and
strengthening of a system of ar
bitration for the disposition of in
ternational disputes upon ques-
lions of right. and for periodical
meetings of representatives of all
the powers for the revision and
development of international law.
think that hereafter. when the
life of Europe has become settled,
when credit and industry are re-
established there and governments
are stable and secure, and we
know what reduction of arma-
ments the powers are going to
consent to. the United States
should insist upon revision of
the league covenant. I am sure
that the changed circumstances
will then permit material improve
ment. Faithfully yours.
