Manager A. N. Kvist. of the

to the sporting editor in which he
denies that 1t was his team that
played the duPonts at Parlin on
Saturday and lost TO the powder

four of the Morgan players were in
the lineup they were not playing as
the Morgan A. c. His letter follows:

it did not play the dupont team, and
furthermore in using the name of the

The meteoric career Of the Hon.
Mr.. Babe Ruth bids fair TO put the
record OF another pretty fair bail
player In eclipse for the time being
May one not say q word on behalf
OF one Tyrus Raymond Cobb, the
Georgia Peach? Babe Is the worlds
greatest sIammer. When you have
said that OF Babe, he's done. Z
But this Tyrus Is some slammex
himself, and he's some fielder and
he's some base runner and base
steaIer.
Let's look Ty over. He's played
fifteen years with Detroit. He's
played I'm over 1870 games. Hk
batting average over the stretch Of
years says .314. There's something
TO shoot at. In seven OF his fifteen
years he raped out v 200 hits

in 1911 he had ten chances I'm his
field, accepted them all, and ffeIded
1000. For fifteen years Ty has batted
over 800 In every year but the first-
Injury has kept him out of many
games this year, but there's an army
OF fans the country over who are
ready TO crown him the best all
round player the game has ever seen,
when he's ready 20 retire. And 1t Is
likely that Babe Ruth would be glad

forth In his old-time ulster he won't
be an attraction anywhere. He 4
no longer a star. Ty is just a great
player.
The public Is tickle. 1t wants only
to see a star that Is n star still. They
do not care to gaze upon the sensa-
lions OF yesterday. The man Of the
hour gets their attention and thch
coin.
Already sDocs Sfrub, the man who
planned Cobb's ffteen-gamc ex-
hibition winter tour, Is thinking II
over. Ty would not go west unless
given = tremendously large guarantee
and Strub has his doubts about the
peach being able to draw even that
In his present status In the American
League.
Babe Ruth Is the man who Is Il
