COBB SAYS TRAINING
CAMPS ARE BUGABOO
More Harmful Than Bene-
ficiai, Thinks Great Player.

.Ty Cobb answers the critics of his
training camp methods by the assertion
that the routine of one month or six
weeks is entirely too long for the ball
player.
For many seasons Cobb has refused to
report TO the Tigers when they entrained
Tor Dixieland. Rarely has he Jumped
INTO uniform earlier than a week or ten
days before the opening OF the regular
season. Cobb's enemies repeatedly de-
clare that failure to train would handi-
cap Cobb considerably. But it has never
done so. Several times the Southern
Typhoon" has started slowly. but along
about mid-June he has found his stride
and breezed along to the sublime heights
Of the offensive baseball world.
-Four to six weeks training in the
SOUTH with two sessions daily. hurts
rather than helps a player" Cobb ex-
plains. After two weeks in the south
the player is trained rather fine. After
that strenuous training begins to sap
MS endurance. When the season opens
he looks good and plays we'll. But be-
fore mid-August you will notice that he
is growing stale, that he isn't PLAYING
with all the old dash and speed
EARLY In my career I spent four to
six weeks In training camps Usually
l reported for the opening OF the season
In hne condition. But after about two
months l would begin to get a little
stale. My work would lack alp. I de-
cided finally that 1t was because I was
overturned. So one season I did not
report to the camp for the full training
but merely put in about ten days work
AS result I was able TO put into
the regular playing season all the en-
durance that was necessary and l car
ried 1t right along through to the end
OF the season. Instead of finishing the
baseball year tagged and worn out and
trained on, was Just as good physically
as when the season began. And ever
since then Two followed that system Of
training Just enough to get the kinks out
OF my arms and legs without the sacri-
fee Of stamina"

Frisch is a natural all-around athlete.
During the last few years he was one Of

McGraw has no reserve outfielder but

regular Giant payroll next year.

twirled semi-pro around New Mexico
and western Texas. He was recon-

took a fancy to him as soon as he re-
ported to the Giants In Marlin in 1917.
and predicted big things for him.
He was farmed out to Kansas City
that spring and after making a great
showing In the first six weeks of the
American Association race he was
drafted. Winters soon won a commits
sion as lieutenant. and was discharged
just In time to Join the Giants at Gaines
Vile last spring.
Winters showed so much on this train
ing trip that many thought he would be
used by McGraw as a regular. 1t was
freely said he had more natural skill
than any pitching youngster who came
to New York since Mathewson's day
However, Jesse needs experience and
McGraw has been breaking him In grad

the ship has pitched a little. but not
enough to make either mother or

Panama was a great sight. In
the first place it was strange and
beautiful with its mass of luxuriant
tropic jungle, with the treacherous
troptc rivers trailing here ana
there through it; and it was lovely
to see the orchids and brilliant but
terhles and the strange birds and
snakes and lizards. and finally the
strange old Spanish towns and the
queer thatch and bamboo huts OF
the ordinary natives. In the next
place 1t is a tremendous sight to
see the work on the canal going on.
From the chief engineer and the
chief sanitary officer down to the
last arrived machinist or timekeep-
er. the 5000 Americans at work on
the isthmus seemed to me an ex-
