but insists that he can make lis

training. He took q needed rest dur
ing the holiday season and 1t cost him
q fight In New York with Joe Lynch.
There was q sharp call for a substt-
tute for Midget Smith, who Is Ill,
against Lynch, and Burman got the
offer. He could't make the required
weight in time and Of course had to

This bright young man is real

he has been for the last sixteen years.
He attended the Victor F. Lawson

He told his mother one day that

before going to work, go to the gym
after his work was over, go home to
dinner and after dinner would be out
again.
After a time he got acquainted with
Joe yelling and Joe Sherman and
they laughed at his tremendous ideas,
finally putting him on the right track.
He was sent to Detroit for an amateur
tournament and won a title, knocking
out all of his competitors. At that

Cobb came to the front in 1906,
o STRIPPING of q lad filled with con-
fidence and fire. His first season
saw him hit for 1920 in ninety-seven
games, but he climbed upward until
he passed the 400 mark in 1911, his
figures that season being APO. He
fell back only ten points in 1912.
Those are the only occasions when
he reached the almost unattainable
mark Of 400, but his lowest drop
since was 1874 in 1920. Counting
his forty-one games and batting
average Of .240 in 1905, Cobb has
established the remarkable average
of 1854 in seventeen campaign.

in itself, had added importance
because it was the forerunnerl
of the seasons gayeties. And

which always brings out a fash

DRESIDENT HARDING Is keep
ing a weather eye on reports
from the States where his friends
and political supporters are UP for
reelection: and even from her sick
room Mrs. Harding displays keen
interest In the dispatches from the
front. Her progress toward re-
covery is pronounced "satisfac.
tory" but Is necessarily slow; and
so far there has not been a hint
of that red letter day when she
will be permitted to leave her room.
Perhaps the most interesting bit
of White House news came not
from the White House, but from
Ohio-the news that the President
had purchased the old Harding
homestead in North Bloomfield
township, Morrow county. There
President Harding was born, and
there he lived until he went to
Marion to seek his fortune, and 1t
may be that he expects to go back
there after his retirement from the
political lists. It's a big place. 266
acres. and there's a house on 1t
which has been recently used as q
storehouse, but which. 1t is said,
President Harding intends to re-
store. The purchase was made
through the postmaster at Marion,
an old friend of the Hardings.
1t will be remembered that
when Senator and Mrs. Harding
became President and Mrs. Hard
ing and moved to the White
House, they sold the sunny house
in Wyoming Avenue in which they
had lived for some years; and
their Marion home Is let on a
long lease.
