The present generation of fans is all most unit in the belief that no greater outfielder ever could have flashed along the baseball horizon than Ty Cobb. But many of the oid-timgs say;
 Bill Lange was greater
 And then they qualify.
 Cobb is marvel-there no dsput- ing that. He perhaps has it on Lange a little in the matter of hitting. It's about 50-50 in base-running. But as a fielder and thrower Lange was Cobb S superior. And Lange, unlike Cobb, was an all-around man. He could pitch splen- didly, was a catching marvel and could play any position of the infield or out field in sensational style.
 'I.ange was a giant in size, towerina we'll beyond six feet and weighing well beyond POO. Yet despite his immense bulk Lange was deer-hound on the bases. There are many who have seen both Cobb and Lange at their best, who
 incline to the belief that Lange was even faster than Cobb, though he had to haul around much more tonnage. He led the National league in base stealing again and again and through all the years of his prime, ranked as the night mare of backstops.

GOOD BATSMAN

Bill Lange was as graceful batsman as ever stepped to the plate. He made no wild lunges at the ball. He hit with the same free swing of Larry La1oe. He didn't seem to put tremendous power in the drive. Yet when the bat met the ball. the horsehide whistled along as # projected from cannon.
 And on the sacks, Lange showed quick thinking equal to that of Cobb. His mind was ever aleft to the slightest opportunity and times without number he stretched seeming singles into two baggers by catching his rivals una wares.
 The throwing arm of Bill Lange was lauded in song and story. He could hurl the ball from the deepest recesses of the playing field on line to home plate; a trick that only few men of all time have been able to duplicate And as fielder. Lange was superb His fielding was faultless; he knew just when and where to play for every ball hit out in his direction.
 "Lange figured in many spectacular

REPUBLICANS ASSIGN

Will Begin Work Which Promises
" Conflict With Progressive
Group. a.

The republican committee on COM
mittees Of tho Senate 10 expected
to meet this afternoon to begin work
on the assignment Of senator's to the
standing committees. Senator Borah
of Idaho and Senator johnson Of Cal
ffornia. the two members Of the re-
publican progressive group who were
appointed by Senator Lodge yesterday
as members of the committee on COM
mittees, declined to serve, pointing
cut that their group had recommend
ed to Senator Lodge the appointment
of Senator Jones of Washington and
Senator Kenyon of Iowa as members
Of the committee.
1t was reported today that Senator
Kenyon of Iowa would refuse to
serve on the committee ana probably
other progressive senators would re-
fuse IL appointed.
The difficulty grows out Of the
fight which the progressive repub-
icans are making against the ap-
pointment Of Senator Penrose Of
Pennsylvania as chairman Of the
finance committee and 8enator War
rem Of Wyoming as chairman Of the
appropriations committee.
The progressive republicans. 1t was
said, felt that If they accepted ap-
pointments to the committee on COM
mfttees they might be embarrassed
in the fight they are making in con-
nection with the finance and appro-
priation committees chairmanships.

into the hopper yesterday.
This was the first time since Presi-

cabled from Paris were distributed
among the senator's and representa-

some of them scanned the printed
pages without listening to the read

Generally. however, members of
both houses and the crowds in the
galleries gave close attention. There
was no demonstration in the Sem
ate, but members on both sides smiled
at the Presidents mention of the re-
properties to private control. The
reading was completed in thirty-five
minutes, and the Senate Immediately
took up routine business.
