Ty Cobb RevOlutiOnized
 Base Running In Majors
Value Of Pulling Unexpected Made Use Of By
 ,Cobb-Makes Many Changes

Copyright, 1924, in the United States,

 By H. G. SALSINGER DASE running was revolutionized by ID Ty Cobb. When he broke into the
 the major league he noticed that base runners, in hitting the ball safely to the outfield, crossed first base, turned to the right, passed outside the foul lines, and leisurely trotted back to the bag. They could not be tagged out as long as they turned outside the chalk line.
 Also, Cobb noticed that outfielders fielded the ball leisurely and lobbed it back to the infield. That gave him an idea. Instead of turning leisurely to the outside, Cobb touched the bag and turned sharply, starting in the direction of second base. Outfielders, not used to this method, were surprised, and Cobb took advantage of the sur prise and sprinted to second base.
 After Cobb had gotten two-baggers on what other men would have received singles, outfielders began to change their methods. Instead of fielding the ball slowly, they would do it hurriedly and throw the ball back to the infield on a line instead of lobbing it back.
 He Knew Distance
 Cobb was a keen judge of a bat ted ball. He had superb eye for distance and he knew his speed to the fraction of a second. He con- tinued running in what looked to be a wild ad crazy fashion. But it was not as wild nor as crazy as most of his opponents believed. Cobb had studied the matter thoroughly and planned care fully.
 He continued turning first base sharply on his short drives and watch ing the outfielders. Sometimes he made a half-turn toward Efirst and as the outfielder's arm was raised slowly and a slow throw was 5started. Cobb re- versed and streaked flor second. Or he would come to dead stop, and the outfielder, thinking Cobb would make no attempt to advance, would take his time. At the proper moment Cobb sprinted. He rarely ever lost on the play.
 During the first few years that he ran bases in this way they said it was the Tuck of a lunatic." And then. noticing his continued success, other players started copying his methods. This was especially true of the young CT players, because the veterans were too thoroughly drilled in the old system to change. No longer, did base runners jog beyond first andc turn outside the base line and jog back to the bag i; they turned sharply at first and made a start for second, ready to take ad- vantage of any opportunity. Changed Methods
 As this style became general, the outfielders had to change their methods to meet the new style of attack. The outfielders used to play deep. That

Dear Martha Lee: Should girl Of
IA stay in a stuffy old house. gaining
nothing and losing health, for fear OF
meeting a boy at a tennis court or wher-
ever the sport may be?
I always have played, but since | am
older, about the only thing that will be
left this summer will be tennis. My
mother objects to my going to the ten
mis- court for fear will play with boys.
Would there be any harm in whole
some game of tennis with a nice boy? 1t
makes no difference to me whether l am
with girls or boys, as long as they are
nice. Should there be such fear or dl-
vision between girls and boys at my age?
In what other sports could l partlcl-
pate this summer that would not be OBJ
iecttonable? TROUBLED.
In my opinion, joining in sports
promotes wholesome friendship be-
tween boys and girls, if they are nor
NAL boys and girls. However, if you
cannot convince your mother Of this,
the only thing for you to do is to
play when boys are not around.
Perhaps, if your mother would come
to watch your games occasionally,
she would see that they do you
good, not harm.

sort Of chap-lovable in the ex-
IRENE, but a man who wants to be
let alone and cares very little for
society; who has a pagan love Of
beauty, and is kindly disposed to-
ward every one, because to be kind
is easiest for him.
1 don't think he'll be happy being
managed by Alice and no one could
live with Alice without being man
aged. To tell you the truth, dear.

selfish to appeal to me, Although

Nevertheless, Ruth dear, 1 am
afraid I'm in for an sorts of com
plications with those pearls. They
certainly are a jinx to me. Now
that I have promised Karl never to
give them up, what will l do If
when I tell Jack about them he in
sists upon my doing it? And besides
all this, I know that Alice has made
up her mind to nave them She will
try in every way to persuade me to

Sometimes I think, dear. that it
isn't the big things in life that try
ones soul. We can make a great
sacrifice, or a great effort, but the
continual little nipping details of life,
the continual feeling Of unrest when
in the company Of those with whom
we must live daily, the continual
little annoyances that are so puerile
that we are ashamed to speak Of
them-these are the things that
make modern martrydom.
Edgerton Sanity asked me this
morning q met him on my return
from my walk in the park If you
had heard from Walter Burke. 1t
seems that he has heard from him.
and that Walter is on his return
trip home.
L expect, my dear, that in a few
months, when you marry Walter, I
shall have to declare my partner
ship in the lingerie shop and take 1t
over; for of course Walter Burke,
as rich as he is, would never allow
his wife to be in business. You will
probably go sailing away around
the world. and oh, how I'll miss you.
When 1 returned dad put in my
hand twelve crisp, new $500 bills,
and he said.
II hope nothing will happen to
these until you get them out of your
possession, Leslie"
Fervently, in my own mind, I
hoped so too.
Is there anything>you want me to
buy for the shop? We've got money
to burn, dear partner, because I am
not going to give this money back
to John, and that will make telling
him about the pearls much harder
than it was before.
Goodness, I'm having as much
trouble with my little string of pearls
as did the famous French queen with
the necklace that overthrow a dy-
nasty.

any purchases. I'll be home very

For Sport Dance

Dear Miss Lee: l. have been ex-
tended an invitation for a sport dance
the latter part of June. Could you ad-
wise me whether I should wear white
trousers and blue coat or white
knickers?
Q. Would it be appropriate to send
the young lady with whom I am going
flowers on the evening OF the occasion:
II so. what kind? o. d.
/. White trousers would be more
and certainly more
than knickers.
2. 1t is not necessary to send flow
ers to the girl, for such an informal
affair. When you do send flowers
for a dance, it is correct to ask the
girl what color dress she will wear,
so that you may select flowers which
match her costume.
