glued to the sacks.

Ty Cobb is unquestionably the
greatest batsman of all time.
Opposing pitchers will tell you that
Cobb has few if any weaknesses at
the plate.
In the batting end of the game
Cobb is about the last word. There
is style to his every move. There is
a reason for every thing that he
does.
The pitcher is Cobb's arch enc
my. To a great many pitchers
Cobb is poison" in the parlance of
the ball field.
Now just who does Ty regard as
the stylist among American League
pitchers?
His Delivery Ideal
Sam Jones of the New York
Yankees was the man Cobb named
for me during a recent discussion of
big league pitchers.
There may be more effective
pitchers capable of standing more
work, but to my way of thinking Sam
Jones is the stylist among American
League pitchers" said Cobb.

Lo, The Manager OF
Fighters Is Put
On Pan!

The managerial element in
ring fighting has been put on
the pan about everywhere the
sport is discussed, and Jimmy
DeForest, eminent boxing au-
thority and trainer today chirps
his chirp in twenty-second story
on championship history.
AS we all know, the man.
ager represents the mental part
of a fighters stable, and as
DeForest points out, many a
champion has been absolutely
MADE by the fact that he is
possessed Of a clever represen-
tative. Most fighters, particu-
larly of the modern school,
have their hands full in the
physical side of their battles,
without trying to manage his
own affairs successfully.
Thus the manager, as De-
Forest tells you in The Wash
ington Times today.

away from his playing. With
Howard back at his regular guard
berth and Rutan in. at the tackle
position the Tigers are going to
offer more stubborn opposition
to Tad Jones' Ellis than they did
to the Crimson.
An unfortunate break did much
to put Harvard in position to score
its field goal. This must not be
lost sight of by the critics. Many
teams have gained victories this
season through the breaks of the
game. The Crimson outfit was at
forded the chance to take Satur-
days contest by this means. That
they made good is evidence Of what
sort Of team they really are.
Both Harvard and Princeton have
been handicapped all season by a
late start. The agreement entered
into by Yale, Harvard and Prince
ton to delay their fall practice until
after September Is has worked a
