 N0zu, 7h0n EUer, Fly Cobb

New York. July 20-QBy the A. P.) There are more good baseball play CTS today than ever before = more good ones in proportion to the poor ones-and it requires more of an all- around better man to break in and stick in the big leagues than it did in the heydey of the departed "im- mortals' 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 inhabited by half a dozen managers who have been handed con- sistently losing, down-hearted teams, rejuyenated them and made sturdy, classy pennant contenders- of their new combinations.
 Cobb always has been an individual star and a paragon for small boys who surround him for a pat on the head. He holds the American League record for the highest batting aver age APO; the highest lifetime aver

 You don't know what a, pitcher is giving you now,' Ty said Tn the Tigers clubhouse after coming from 5 to ] defeat on the Tanks, in which he contributed two hits. Pitch ing goes in cycles. Once it was the ball, then the curve. then the spit ball. then the emery ball and now it's combination of everything"
 There have been tremendous" changes in baseball during the IS years that Ty has been in the game, he said.
 The greatest change has been in the pitchers box. which, of course has neceSSitated corresponUIns changes in the art of batting, but Ty feels sure that the ball is '1ivelier' now and that the new pellet in a large measure accounts for the ab- normally long drives and the dozens of home runs.

 Another of three bouts of local fla vor that is attracting considerable at tention is the go between Young Le- Vinsky and Joe Saviola. Both boys are experienced in ring experience and ahould appease the fans in their cravings for action.
 Levinsky is training at the Column bia A. c. after his days toiL as deck hand on one of the Pleasure Beach ferryboats. LevinsIly is a warm fla vorite with his associates on the beach ferry line, and they are going to back him to the limit. Levinsky is a sturdy battIer. He proved it in his recent go here with Danny McNer- ney, of Danbury, in which he gained the decision. In Saviola, however, Levinsky will meet a worthy foe, as the latter is clever and carries hard punch in both of his mitts.
