By H. G. SALSINGER

Tempestuous, a fighting player, Ty Cobb was never source of trouDIe 10 the umpires before he became manager. He was, as any umpire who worked in Detroit games previous to 1920 will tell you, the easiest man in the league to work with. He never questioned de- cisions; never criticized; never argued.
 "A great player an a foine man, the battle-scarred Timothy Hurst used to remark. Never gives you a bit O trouble. Always kind an considerate, overlookin' your bad days. A gran boy indeed is this Cobb"
 And he was. Because it was good policy to be. Cobb decided that early in his career. A friendly umpire was helpful an unfriendly one not so good. Empires are honest-the breath of scandal has never reached them. But they are also human most players overlook this fact. Cobb did not, but then Cobb was not an ordinary player. Cobb has always worked on the policy that honey catches more flies than vine gar. He made it point to treat um- pires with respect, kindness and con- sideration; they were honest, of course, but being humand they could not help being prejudiced in his favor; they were bound to be, no matter how hard they tried not to be-Cobb won them.
 Got The Close Ones
 He never suffered because of his at- titude toward the judges of play. If q decision was toss-up between 4ut and safe, Cobb was certain to get the break. He never lost anything by his treatment of umpires, and one could never say that he gained nothing. There is no denying the fact that Cobb got the close ones, at least the vast majority ; and Cobb figured in more plays that were close and extremely close, than any other man-it was nip and tuck most of the time when he was et bat or on the bases.
 In those days you never heard an um- pire say an unkind thing about Cobb. They were all exuberant in their praise of him. They went out of their way to give glowing accounts of his great ness and much of his fame was spread by these judges of play. Why shouldn' t they? He was the best friend they had among the players. He understood them.
 Cobb in turn praised the umpires. We vivdly recall the time he gave an inter view, extolling the professional virtues of Tommy Connolly. This clever Irish man deserved the praise, but the boom-

 Several Changes To Be Made

shrouded in the deepest secrecy the diversity of Alabama Crimsons have kn put through a thorough round of |lling since the Centre game and |hch Wallace Wade is driving on and Fing nothing. Dissatisfied by the
 bwing made by the Crimsons against Prayin' Colonels, the 'Bama mentor 5 intimated that there will be several hnges in the lineup for the Georgia tversity game at Redwood Thursday |ernoon but just what changes there ll be he has given no intimation, as announces that he will give out no |e-up before the game.

HAYNES TO RIDE
 FOR FRENCHMAN

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Everett Haynes, American jockey, who rode Pierre Wertheimer's French thorough bred, Epinard, in the three international specials in this country, has signed to ride for Wertheimer on the French turf for 1925, he disclosed today upon ar irving on the Majestic to visit relatives here and in Oklahoma City.
 The re-engagement of Haynes wos viewed among turfmen as interesting in view of the criticism levelled at the jockey for his handling of Epinard, par. ticularly in the second special at Aque- duct when Ladkin won from the invader by nose.
 Haynes disclosed that one of the handicaps Epinard encountered was that he was forced to race to the left in mak- ing turns in accordance with American track customs. Epinard, Haynes said, had done this only once before coming here.

self with oil lands and other valuable resources of the country.
In due season he graduated from that position to representative
of oil interests and testified that his present salary is $5 900 a
year.
The sworn testimony before the committee is shot through
and through with proof that the administration of oil lands under
eight years of the Wilson regime affords a fertile field for in
vestigatiOn. The evidence piles up that throughout this period
the department of the interior cudded up to the private oil in
terests of the country and the department of justice, under A.
Mitchell Palmer, was tender with them.
1t was sworn to by officials of the public land bureau that
findings which they made adverse to private oil interests in 1913
were "lOst" in the department Of the interior under Democratic ad-
ministrauOn for seven years, which practically covers the entire
Wilson regime. These officials testified that this losing" of re-
ports adverse to private exploitation of public oil lands was a habit
in the department during the seven years of its Democratic ad-
ministration.
President Coolidge is we'll within the facts when he states
"men are involved who belong to both political parties"
The outstanding fact, however, so far as the interest of
Montanans is concerned, is the attitude of Senator I. j. Walsh,
who switched for some reason, so far unexplained, from that of a
staunch defender of the proposal to lease naval oil reserves, to
that of a bitter enemy of the contaminated contracts.
In this connection it might be mentioned that The Courier
received, early in the week, an illustrated news story no doubt
Iemanating from Democratic sources, in which Senator Walsh is
|touted as a possible contender for the Democratic nomination for
explain the senator's unprecedented activities in the oil expose in
which the skirts of so many prominent Democrats, including Will
Gibbs McAdoO, the man whom his fatherinlaw, the late Ex-
president Woodrow Wilson, threw down and ignored nearly two
years ago, have become so soned and bedragled.
The complete story of Senator Washs connection with the
dirty mess is published elsewhere in this issue of The Courier.
