parently retired from the field de-

mously condemned. Lacrosse, cricket
and swimming were considered the
most beneficial.

TY COBB SAYS COLLEGE PLAYERS
ARE BIC HELP TO PROFESSIONAL BALL

Ty Cobb, manager of the Detroit
American League club. is an enthu-
siastic backer of the college baseball
player who joins big league clubs and
plans to make a profession out of the
Am erica SIP ort.
His partially for the college star
can well be seen in the makeup of
his own team. Arthur Olsen, the
pitcher, is from Cornell University;
George Cutshaw, second fbasenan and
coach of the infie1d, is a, Notre Dame
man; Emory Rigney, the shortstop,
is from Texas A. and M; Harry He'll
mann, the right fielder, is a st. Mary s
College athlete, while Larry Woodall,
the catcher is from the University of
North Carolina
Besides these there is Sam Lyman
of Georgetown and Shortstop Hair old
Gagnon from Holy Cross. To give
them the valuable experience, Ty sent
Lyman to the Omaha club and Gag
non to Rochester. Detroit also grab
bed Wells. the big southpaw. who
graduated from Bethany College, and
is now twfrling for the Muskegon
club of the Central Michigan League.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer. (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1918-1924, 1922-09-15

The general policy of the Detroit
club before Cobb was made manager.
was to depend almost entirely on the
minor leagues for its material. Ty,
however, was quick to see the posi-
bilities of the college man. HE gave
his views on the subject the other day
as follows:
There are many reasons why the
college man should have a chance to
break into the big league baseball. In
the first place. as a rule he has four
seasons Of preparation. Then also
when a boy goes to college he has
some objective. Primarily he wants
to get an education. As a rule he
perseveres and is Intelligent. He
learns how to use his brains. It nat
urally follows that he can use his
Intelligence in baseball if he has the
ability to play the game. In addi-
ton college athletes bring to the big
leagues that ardent desire to win. They
played only for the glory of their coll
lee nine and, of course, became good
team players because they were. ever
ready to put themselves in the back
ground
