TY COBB REFUSES TO .
HEED TIME SUMMONS
Georgia Peach Not Yet in Bench
Manager Class.

Tyrus Raymond Cobb, variously
known as 1.-The Peerless One" and 1.-THE
Georgia Peach" is not yet in the bench
manager class. despite his thirty-seven
years and the thinning hairs on his
head. Frequent predictions, first heard
when he succeeded Hughie Jennings
as manager Of the Detroit Tigers two
years ago, that he was through as
a player, have failed of fulfillment
1t is different Cobb who guides the
destinies Of the 1923 Tigers from the
player who flashed along the major
league horizon in 1905, gaining in bril-
liancy and renown until in 1911 he be-
came 400 batter. The speed that
gave Cobb new major league record
for stolen bases in 1915, with a total
of 9S, Is waning, but in its place has
come craftiness, and because he had
so much speed to lose, he still is
great outfielder, still dangerous man
on the paths.
At bat, he is the same peach" His
eye seems as clear as in his earlier
days when he was the bugbear of all
pitchers in the league He continues
to meet the ball squarely and his fac
ulty of driving the ball out of reach
of the fieIders seems greater, If any
thing, this year than ever.
From the start of this season he has
had the Tigers among the league
leaders. Close followers of the game
have seen in Detroit the principal men
ace to the New York Yankees in this
seasons race. Cobb's heavy artillery
is conceded to be the equal of the
New York clubs "murderers' row." and
his pitching staff, considered the prin-
cipal weakness of the club, has shown
surprisingly well during the first
month, the veteran Dauss especially
appearing near the peak Of his form.
Some critics see indications that
Cobb may direct his club from the
bench soon, in the acquisition of two
smuggling recruits. Fothergill and Man
ush, both of whom have been used
effectively this year, but Cobb smiles
and continues to take his stand in CEN
ter field.

CARRIES IT'S SUPPLY OF OIL
Fish Equipped by Nature for Swift
Race It Has to Make Up Cold
Yukon Waters.

A fish equipped with special oil
supply for swift race up the cold Yu-
koa river has been reported by DIR. G.
II. Gilbert to the United States bureau
Of fisheries The reason why this fish
has this special oil supply Is that 1t
must maintain a speed from three to
five times that Of the salmon In other
rivers. due to the fact that the season
is very short. and that the spawning
grounds are between 1000 and 1900
miles from the mouth of the river.
The Yukon "chum," fish Of lowlier
degree, is similarly supplied with spe-
cial store of oil. Known generally as a
species that spawns exclusively in the
lower courses Of streams, often scarce
~ above the reach Of the tides and
never far from salt water, In the Yu-

habit, and under the spur Of necessity
PUSHES up the river 1000 miles or more

and is Just as effective as the

ket. For the succeeding applica-
ton, the dry calcium arscnate dust
was advised.

proven that Investigation can be

depend entirely on one crop.
Al the conclusion of his talk, Mr..

each farmer expressed himself as

would destroy his cotton stalks 70
