RATH LIKE COBB
IN GRAY MATTER
Red Second Baseman Takes
Game Seriously and Is
Making Success.

=, In the course of an article praIsing
the good work of Morris Rath, Jack
Ryder in the Cincinnati Enquirer,
writes: Ty Cobb is living example
Of the value, of brains and courage
IN baseball, but more than half the
big league players fail to realize why
ne Is so great star. 1t is because
he outgames and outthinks the aver
age player. With Cobb baseball is a
serious business in which he has earned
large salary for many years and he
considers it worthy of his attention.
Without saying that Norris Rath is
a Ty Cobb, 1t may safely be asserted
that he looks at his profession in the
same serious manner as Cobb does
and tries his best to get the most out
OF every situation which arises on the
field. Rath is always willing to at
work out for the good of the team.
He puts the winning Of the game OF
ball ahead of his own average every
time. He studies the game diligently
and plays it industriously and intelli-
gently. With no more than an average
physical equipment, he gets more out
of himself than many a younger and
stronger man. He uses his brain all
the time, and that is the reason that
re makes so many plays around second
base look easy. He is always in the
way of the ball, because he has figured
in advance where a certain hitter is
most likely to hit certain kind of ball
off certain kind of pitcher.
At the bat Rath is good waiter and
a fine base runner. He seldom hits
at bad ball and he has a knack of
poking out line drives just over the
infield at the exact moment when they
will do the most good. He Is a great
pivot man and works clevery with
Larry Kopf around the second station.

KILMER TO SELL

Willis Sharpe Kilmer has entered the
field as a public breeder of thorough

sales ring at Saratoga Springs on
Aug. 9.
Twenty three of these are yearlings,

Is disposing of them is to make room
for new crop of weanings at Sun

1t was the success of the good son

INTENTIONAL PASS
GETS FANS GOAT.
They Prefer to See Every
Batter Pitched to, Regard
less of Who He Is.

The rule makers last winter made
it an offense to walk Intentionally a
batter, yet in a recent game here there
were three cases of intentional walks
issued to batters, all in the late innings,
and at stages of the game when hit
would mean victory to the Pirates,
writes Richard Guy in the Pittsburgh
Leader.
The crowd did not want these walks,
of course, as a clean hit was desired;
the fans wanted tangible action, a hit
and the winning run to scamper across
the plate.
The rule is being circumvented by the
adeptness Of the battery men to keep
the ball away from the batter and its
design is thereby lost when the catch
ers get these wide pitches without NOV
ing out Of the limited territory.

As a result of ruling of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail road on timetables, it is quite prob able that the common council, at its September meeting, will be asked to take action upon a resolution to eX- tend the Daylight Savings ordinance until October 31. Under the present arrangement the law goes out of effect on the last Sunday in September at 2 a. m. Action on the matter locally will be suggested so that New Britain time may conform with the New Haven road time for the convenience of commuters and others.
 General Manager C. l.. Bardo of the railroad company has written an official communication to the boards of selectmen of the various towns of Connecticut and Rhode Island, as follows:
 Tt is my understanding that the so-called Daylight Saving Plan in your town expires September 26. As you know, it is necessary for us to change our timetable to meet the re- quirements of the majority working under the Daylight Saving plan, and as all but a few cities in Conn necticut having daylight saving time, as well as the State of Massa chusetts and New York city. have made the ex- piring date of October 31, our time table is accordingly being revised to take effect on that date.

Scores Cox and Tammany in Publicity Interview
 Today.

Marion. O., Aug 25.-Confidence that Senator Harding would secure the establishment of an acceptable in- ternational tribunal was expressed in a statement made public here today by Charles Evans Hughes, who confer red with the senator yesterday.
 Tt is hardly necessary for me to say that l shall earnestly support Senator Harding," the statement said. He is a man of rare poise, high minded and sincere. No one can meet him without being impressed by his exceptional capacity and his in- tegrity of purpose.
 Against Tammany
 We cannot afford to have a Tam manyized federal government The nomination of Governor Cox, was brought about by the skilful and de- termined effort of local democratic bosses who represent the most oane- full influences in our political life. There is inc sure way to defeat their effort to capture the government at Washington and that is to beat heir candidate.
 International Cooperation.
 "I believe also that Senator Hard ing's election will afford the surest way of securing our proper relation to international cooperation. This country must do it's part but it must reserve the right to act in any future contingency according to it's duty the Contingency reveals it. The es- sentials in any really effective plan for international cooperation are to establish a tribunal of international justice where justiciable questions are concerned, to provide the machinery of conciliation and to secure the aG- Vantages of international conference. All this can be secured and I believe will be secured under the presidency Of Mr. Harding. without guaranties which attempt to commit us in rn- known contingency and which will serve trouble breeders and not as peacemakerS.
 T am fully convinced, as result of my conversation with Senator Hard ing that under his leadership we shall haNe our foreign relations conducted in accordance with our best traditions and Americas duty to the world will be discharged without ignoring her duty to herself
