were stfli short OF their prime. He
was In major league harness before
Mathcwson ever pitched q world
series game. before Walter johnson
ever left Idaho, with George Sisler
struggling to make the second
grade in an Ohio high school He
was up there before Ed Walsh had
ever come TO fame and Three Finger
Brown, was just earning his first
laurel.
The forward pass in football was
still unknown as they hammered
the line In mass attacks.
Yet Cobb today, carrying a heavy
managerial burden, Is George Sis
ler's main rival-thirty points above
his own grand average for eighte en-
years. Considering all the circum-
stances, duration of service, the
double job. the fckieness of form.
Cobb's present standing in the Land
Of Basehit Is easily the most phe-
nomenal athletic or competitive
achievement of the age. There Is
nothing to match II from the view
point of quality and quantity. brillI-
ancy and duration combined.
Some one has said there is MOTH
ing in baseball that equals Cobb's
record. One can go further and say
there is nothing in all sport that
touches It. Wagner and Lajoie were
hitting marvels. but In their eigh-
teenth campaigns their batting
figures were not within seventy
points Of Cobb's mark today.
No other sport has ever known a
man. where the wear and tear OF
contest took its toll. that was within
so per cent of Cobb's eighteen-year
contribution to the book. For he
happens to be engaged in a pro-
fession where the endless outcry Is
for young blood and where after
eight or ten active years only a few
survive in the cast. when one con-
siders also that for these eighteen
years he has always travelled at his
fastest clip. shirking nothing on the
tow paths wherever a desperate
slide was needed for a base. the
wonder of his present status Is all
the greater.
His physical durability Is one
thing. Few human bodies could
have stood that eternal drive. But
to have the same burning ambition
to be first again after he has led the
league so many years is even more
remarkable. II by any chance he
should beat out Sisler and lead his
league again he will leave record
that no one else can see with field
glass. And next spring he will be
Just as keen to lead the six months
parade again, with a spirit that ap-
parently knows neither the weari-
ness Of advancing years nor ths
fullness Of an ambition that recog-
| mixes no top peak.
His slogan seems to be-"After
the Himalayas-what mountains
have you?"

G0v, BRIDGES IS WORLD WAR HERO Bridges in Charge of South
 Australia

London, Oct 6.-Majo jor- General Sir George Molesworth Bridges has been appointed governor of South Australia, succeeding Lieut. Col. Sir William Weigel The latter resigned the position because he said he could not live on his salary and had not sufficient private means to afford the luxury of maintaining such position.
 His successor, Sir George, is known in the British army as the 'Toy Drum Hero" That term has not been applied to him in derision, but in recognition of a memorable in- cident of the war in which he dis playeds great galantry.
 After the action at Le Cateau, in 1914, the British army started on its great fighting retreat, and men were dropping out from sheer exhaustion. Major Bridges, as he then was, went back to St. Quentin to round up 25O stragglers.
 He found them in state of col lapse. At little village shop be bought a toy drum, and falling the men into line with the toy drum and penny whistle to serve as band, he marched them off, laughing in spite of their weariness. They kept on marching for 2S miles.
 Sir George was the military mem- Der of the Balfour mission to the United States in 1917. and head of the British war mission to the United States in the succeeding year.

Chicago. Oct, 6. - To close forever the widening breach between capital and labor" is the main purpose of the Society Of American Comm onwealth which recently received it's charter as corporation under the laws of Illi. nois for the purpose Of formulating an organization throughout the United States.
 Our work is such that we cannot admit to- our membership those who belong to labor unions or those known as the capitalistic class employing la bor," states a booklet issued by the society, in which its principles are outlined. We do this that we may be able freely and boldly to hold the scales between them"
 Plan of Society.
 Men and women of American ciu- zenship and eighteen years or more are eligible to membership. The so- ciety is not Incorporated for profit.
 This society is an outgrowth of the numerous strikes that have beset this country and which we believe are fraught with grave peril to the na- tion," said Marvin V. Hinshaw. found- CT and supreme commoner.
 The object is to awaken the great masses to dangers we are facing be- cause of wasteful, useless, havoc making strikes such as the coal striks, rail strike, the recent car strike in Chicago and many other forms of in dustrial warfare throughout the coun- try.
 Through all these ordeals the public, bearing the brunt of the bur den, has gone on watchfully waiting with a saint-like patience. This is not call to arms nor the views of alarmists. We believe it is high time that the public so organize that its sentiments may crystalline into a stern and powerful voice that will become so effective that these useless indus trial conflicts may be doomed"
 Officers of Club.
 The incorporators O. the society are: Marvin V. Hinshaw, Erma c. Beall and Ninian Welch. The board of directors include Dr. Mortimer Elm rick, Ninian Welch, J. R. Adams Her bert J. Friedman the Rev. R. keene Ryan, Alderman John P. Garner and others.
