Some statement to make for a
player who seldom says little about
his base ball ability. who ducks the
issue whenever he is asked for an
interview.
May be Rival OF Ruth.
1t looks as if Babe Ruth is to
have a rival. Ty may be after that
new right field stand in New York as
we'll as Ruth. The manager of the
Tigers, of course. is pleased with the
team that he has put together, but 1t
seems that the thing which pleased
him most is his own physical con-
dition and the hope that he is on the
verge Of his first pennant.
1t may also be taken for granted
championship. The fight has waxed
merry between him and Sisler be-
fore and Heilmann on his own team.
who Is hitting from the right hand
as hard as ever. Cobb would like
nothing better than to see Heilmann
win If he can. Should the race for the
batting championship happen to be
between Heilman and Cobb what will
happen to the pitchers when they
have to face this pair, game after
game, in the American League cam
paign? 1t brings back days Of the
Cobb Crawford era when Ty would
get on and big Sam would hit him
home.
There has been speculation as to
what kind Of an infeld Detroit would
have in 1928. Some have said that the
taking of Pratt would not do the
Tigers any good and others have it
that possibly he may be the player
who will make Detroit champions
this coming summer.
On the first day that Pratt arrived in
Augusta he went out to second base
when practice was called for the regu-
lars of the infield, and he stopped the
ball as ii it were the Fourth of July.
That easy assurance which always has
marked his athletic superiority was in
evidence and he fitted into the arrange
ment of the infield as if he had played
with Detroit during two championships.
Eigney took to him as naturally as if
he had been his side partner all last
year and Blue at first reveled in the
easy way in which Pratt was handing
the ball to him.
Pitching Strength Uncertain.
OF the pitchers on the roll the future
will tell more. 1t is not difficult TO see
when a team has f1elders. The pitchers.
however. developed much more slowly
because their arms must be favored.
The weather conditions at Augusta
have been such that Cobb has not been
slow in pushing some OF his pitchers.
Johnson, for instance. who was one OF
the big purchases from Portland, and
who was unable to play much in 1922
because of an early injury, reported
looking like race horse.
Ty took him in hand at once. and
as the hot MONDAY sun beat on him
let him unlimber more and more. and
today he is occasionally hopping the
ball if he feels like 1t. Pillette. how
ever, who did so we'll last summer, is
being nursed more carefully.
The more that you look at the
Tigers, look at the condition in
which they reported, look at the man.
ner in which they are getting into
the game. watch Cobb handle then,
and hear what he has to say to them
the more the impression grows that
they have got a chance"

not display the fielding skill Of Simon,
but may be slow worker in the

throwing has not impressed.
ConcenSus Is that when May Is ap-

something as follows: Sisler, Nc

Robertson and Foster.
Jimmy Austin is on the list as a
