Whenever ry Cobb's advent as
big league managers discussed SOME
gentleman in the party usually
chimes in with the thought that Cobb
can not expect to hold a team to
discipline when he never has yielded
to discipline himself But these birds
are shooting wide at the mark.
They point out that Cobb reported
late for spring training and ignored
other club rules. These rules are
designed for the good of the players
who DO not study, Judge for them
selves or consider seriously their own
good. No one ever has accused Ty
Cobb Of in1uring his playing ability
or lessenfng his greatness as q super
star thru breaking rules"
Cobb studied his own makeup and
physical needs AS thoroughly as he
studied pitchers and batters and
baserunners. That he schooled him
self to be tho brainiest, greatest
player in the game proves that he
managed himself successfully. When
ne knows that the responsibility for
the success OF bah club rests on
bis shoulders alone I'm betting that
he'll study that ball club--the play
ers on it-with the same thorough
ness. II he enters his managerial
career With tho same spirit he en-
tered tho playing end the gang'll hear
from Tyrns Raymond, take It from
me.

Easy Day. For s.t..r,.

Dick Hoblitzel, who last year man
aged the Akron team and will be
with Reading next summer was dis
GUESSING present day hitting with
Mike Donlin In 4 tanning bee at the
New York baseball gathering.
The hatters have q snap compared
with several years ago" said Hoblit-
sel. Nowadays tho pitchers must
throw q white bali which you can al
ways see. and you know they can not
curve 1t. AS soon as 1t becomes
nicked or winged it goes out Of play.
Soft for the hitter a
SHOULD say It Is. soft" injected
Donlin. "The pitchers have a tough
time Of 1t with the restrictions on the
pitching. which gives the batters lots
OF confidence. Remember when was
with the Pirates7.s; asked Mike. well,
the first day went In to hit against
tho Giants We had two men on and
Red Ames had mo two and nothing.
Then he laid one in and smacked it
out for. two sacks and broke UP the
game. 1t was the first game of a
double header. Between games I
asked Ames why he did not hook one
for me. Tt meant my money would
be taken from me- he replied That
gave me the tip that McGraw would
not allow q pitcher to throw a curve.
He had asetandins fine for the pitch
err who curved one for me. and
must have hit 800 against the Giants
that season.
THAT is something like the condi-
tion that exiAts today"

defile among the rocky hills, and a
sharp curve led them finally out up

fertile lands were wide here, and fed
with broad canals that offered the

Here the runaways breakfasted
upon the roast pigeon, dates and
Htangerines they had bought from the

back against a rock, was smoking a
meditative cigar over the situation.
Beside him, tied to palm, knelt the
.camels, and before him, nibbling a

"Then, what in the world am go

3Decisively he jumped to his feet and
said breakfast. Where was 1t? What
was to be done?
Directions were vague. They had
come south on the edge Of the desert.
and the Nile lay somewhere to the
east OF them, and to the east, there
fore lay breakfast and trains and
telegraph lines and all the outposts

/ To the east they rode then.
straight toward the tinted dawn, and
as they went they laughed out at
each other on their strange mounts
like two children on holiday. Their
spirits lifted with the beauty Of the
morning, and with that strange
primitive exh1leration OF the desert,
that wild JOY in vast. lonely reaches,
in far horizons and illimitabIe space.
The air intoxicated them; the leap
ing light and the free winds fired
them, and with laughing shouts and
challenges they urged their camels
forward in wild race that sent the
desert hares scattering to right and
left. Like runaways they tore over
the level wastes and thru the rolling
dunes, and at last, spent and breath
less, they pulled back into a walk
their excited beasts that squealed
and tossed their tasseled heads

spirit that no words could express.

Billy gave back, "And forty-three are

laugh made q worried little jackal
draw back his cautious nose into his
rocky lair.
They were in broken ground now,
more and more rocky, leading thru
the low hills ahead of them, and
great clumps of grayish NIT minan
