Ten thousand fans turned out

for the street and then surround
ed him in q dense mass. They
wouldn't let Ty leave the ball
grounds in his auto. The police
were finally called to clear a

One elderly lady asked Cobb to
write his name on her score card,

son. Cobb did that. A lad want

it was the right kind, while an
other youngster had Cobb show
him how to hold his 25-cent base

Finally a seven-year- old
youngster jumped on the running
board of Cobb's machine. He
held sandwich in his grimy
paw.

With the fifth week of the soccer
season in sight for Sunday the vari-
GUS soccer clubs are now rounding
out their permanent lineups and bet
ter soccer is being shown at both
Hodges and Russwood park each
Sunday. Particularly did this apply
to last Sundays contests at both
fields. The Goodman league at
Hodges field showed two of the fast
est games of the season, while the
Wllilngham league, which is the
younger circuit, played the closest
game last Sunday at Russwood park
that they have served this season.
AT Hodges field the Goodman
league will again serve their usual
double-header Sunday afternoon,
starting precisely at 215 o'clock. The
first contest of the afternoon should
be the banner game of the day and
will find the experienced Floyd
Candy boys opposed to the youthful
Y.NM. /. boys.s The Floyds are seri-
ously considering the chances OF the
Y. NJ /. boys in Sundays opening
contest, which they are extremely
wise in doing. The rushing tactics
or the Y. M. !. team together with
the brilliant combination of soccer
players they have, make them stand
out as easily one of the three best
clubs in Memphis now if one would
dare to class the superior clubs this
early in the season into a class OF
three clubs and the remaining five
to follow.
1t is sufficient to say that there
is no better club in the South today
than the Floyd Candy team, which
is no reflection on the other clubs in
the two leagues. as the Floyds are
leading the league through their abil-
| ity to defeat their opponents. This
does not lessen the Y. NJ. /. teams
chances to defeat the Floyd Candies
| Sunday when they clash in the open
ing tilt and as both clubs are in their
best form the odds favor neither
team to win this contest.
The second contest shows the
| squirting jefferson Cleaners tangling
| with the York-Ambrose club. The
Yorks are coming strong and hope
to defeat the Jeffersons in this con-
| test. However the Jeffersons are
reported to be somewhat stronger in
their lineup and in the event they
are strengthened they will likely bull
dog their way through the hours bat
tie and the winner will well deserve
