 PLAYERS 0F TODAY
It's Harder to Break Into Majors
 Now, Says Ty

New York, July 2o.-(By Associat- ed Press. )-There are more good baseball players today than ever be- | to the poor ones-and 1t requires morS of an all-around better man to break in and stick in the big leagues than it did in the heydey of the departed ''immortals" a generation ago. This is the studied opinion Of Tyrus Raymond Cobb one of the greatest players Of all time, who stands today on the threshold of that cloister in- babited by half dozen managers who have been handed consistently losing down hearted teams, rejuvenated them and made sturdy. classy pen- nsnt contenders of their new combi- nations.
 Cobb Always a Star.
 Cobb always has been an individual star and a paragon for small boys who surround him for pat on the head He holds the American league record for the highest batting aver age, .420; the highest lifetime aver age around .370; has topped compet- itors 13 times, nine in succession and now is fighting it out with George Sisler for this years title.
 Late in 1920 Cobb succeeded Hugh Jennings as manager of the second di- vision Detroit Tigers. He discarded some worn out material, retained the nucleus of a club and now has an aggregation within calling distance of first place.
 Pitching Is Puzzling
 You don't know what a pitcher Is giving you now" Ty said in the Tigers clubhouse after coming from a to 1 defeat of the Tanks, in which he con- tributed two hits. Pitching goes Tn cycles. Once it was the fast ball, then the curve. then the spitball, then the emery ball and now it's combination of everything"
 There have been tremendous changes in baseball during the II years that Ty has been in the game. he sai1.
 Ball is Livelier.
 The greatest change has been in the pitchers box which, of course has necessitated corresponding changes in the art of batting but Ty feels sure that the ball is 'liveler" now and that the new pellet in large' measure ac- counts for the abnormally long drives and the dozens of home runs.
 Of all that has gone from he game Ty regres most keenly the fighting spirit of the old teams. the conductive mood of men like himself who came into the profession when loyalty to his club was demanded and who fight as defenders and conquerors not as entertainers drawing great salaries for cold skill. 'The old home town has gone,' he said.
 Admits Slowing Up.
 Ty repeated his observation of the | spring, Ines slowing up" T tire | more easily and l require more sleep no more late nights for me. But I'm going to play as long as I can, though I don't know how long that will be. ! know I should have hit | hat last one today"

To Be Built At
Cost OF $l,5OO,OO0

Agreed to Modify
The mmissioner agreed to make
the modification if the company could

q conference at the highway depart
ment, and it will be necessary for the
engineers to refer the matter to the
directors of the company.

be made between the West Cornwall

bury, and would change the course
of the highway in sharon me aus,
