COBB'S BASE RUNNING
 WAS SCIENCE TO HIM
Deer Of The Paths" Studied Pitcher So He
 Could Get Jump On Him

when in pitching position with men on bases, drew the hands against his chest as he started to wind up. Cobb watched him for several innings and saw that Young never threw the ball to a base after pulling the hands to his chest. As long as the hands were extended from the body he was likely to throw to a base, but as soon as the hands hugged the chest Young threw the ball only in one direction and that was toward the plate.
 While He Had Ball
 After that Cobb always watched Young's hands. While they were out in front of him, clasping the ball, Cobb stayed close to the base, but as soon as the hands were drawn in against the chest Cobb broke for the next base. Because he was sprinting while Young still had the ball he got such a start that it was impossible for the catcher to throw him out.
 Young could never understand why Cobb was able to steal on him. His catcher could never understand why. Young probably never found out. Cobb kept his secret. re ' &
 Every pitcher in some manner tipped. off bis intentions of throwing te a base. It may have been a movement of the head or neck, slight twist of the shoulder or the elbow. There was al- ways one part of the body that nevey failed, even if the pitcher succeeded ii. covering up elsewhere, and that was his feet. If Cobb could not get the signal from the head, neck, shoulders or el, bow, he was always sure to get it from the feet. No pitcher can throw without turning the feet and Cobb, in taking his lead, would watch the feet. He got the signal for coming throw fraction of second sooner than he could get it by watching the upper part of the body. (TOmOrrOw: Chapter XXV-SIidIng)

SIDNEY LANIER HI
 DEFEATS SAINTS

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 27.- The Sidney Lanier High Poets wound up their 1924 gridiron campaign here today defeating St. Bernard in their annual turkey day classic, 13 to 0.
 Taking advantage of every opportu- nity but one to score, the Poets sim ply outplayed the visitors in tBe aerial department, the best developed part of their attack.
 The Poets made all their points in the first half. A steady march from their own 45-yard line after taking the ball on the Kick off placed the oval over the last chalk mark. Herman Ohme carried the ball on almost every play, making the first touchdown of the Poets by plunging through center for eight yards. Kaminsky kicked goal from placement.
 Kirtland Makes Run
 In the first minutes of the second period, Kirtland, standing on his own 15-yard line, on a triple pass ran 85 yards for touchdown. He shook off four of the Saints tacklers during the course of the run and sprinted for 40 yards within three inches of the boun- dary line. It was one of the most beau | tiful runs seen here this season. Ka- minsky failed to kick goal from place ment.
 During the entire tilt, the Saints re- sorted to the use of the forward pass, but seldom was one completed. The l Saints did not wait until the final min utes of play to put over their aerial at tack, but passed the second time they had the ball. Many openings were pre- scented the Saints to complete their at- tempts, but on these occasions, the ball was not hurled with enough speed and the receiver could not get near it..
 With the exception of Ohme's pow erful drives at the line, Kirtlands sen sational run and the all around play ing of J. Biligree and A. Slovensky for the Saints, the tilt was uninteresting. A small Thanksgiving crowd attended the annual classic.

ENSLEY HIGH DOWNS
 : WOODLAWN, 20 TO 0
Jackets, By Virtue Of Win, Have Fine Claim For
 State Championship

The Ensley High school Yellow Jackets, by a sensational victory over the Woodlawn Junior Colonels Thurs .tIay morning at Redwood field, stamped gthemselves as one of the outstanding teams of the state in the scramble for state title. The Jackets completely loutclassed Woodland in winning, 20 to 0.
 The flashy work of backs combined with a stalwart defense of the forwards gave the Junior Colonels little oppor- ,tunity to get going at any time but tFather had them fighting on the de- fense during the major portion of the game. Woodlawn was able to make but a single first down with the exception of one gained on a penalty.
 Start Big Offensive
 From the very first of the game the Jackets started driving and through out the entire affair they were shov- ing the ball on into Woodlawn terri tory with an offensive which could not be checked.
 Playing with his head heavily band aged ana his eye completely covered and against the orders of his doctor, Country Lowry, closing his career at Ensley, shone with unusual brilliance. He called signals in a masterly man. ner and plunged the line for long bucks. He was one of the big stars of the contest and his performance was more remarkable for the fact that he played with the constant threat of any injury to his eye, which doctors predicted would cause total loss of sight in that optic.
 Make Long Gains
 Walker and Marston. the fleet-footed Ensley runners, carried the ball round Woodlawn's ends for long gains and shot off tackles for substantial advances. The Gold and Black line was opening up big holes for the backs while the great interference put up by Lowry and Walker allowed Marston, the big star of the Jackets. to do his long gain ing.
 The Jackets, due to their victory Thursday, take rank with Cullman and Greenville, as the leading contenders for the Alabama prep championship. Ensley has a record which is one 3f the most outstanding in the state and, though there is no way of determining a champion, critics who have followed prep football in the state give the To- calls an edge on all contenders.
 Marst0n Breaks Loose
 The game had hardly started before Marston broke loose on one of his long runs. He circled right end for 19 wards behind brilliant interference. He came back with nine-yard dash around left end few minutes later, placing the ball on Woodlawn's 14 yard line.
 Lowry hit the line for three yards on two consecutive bucks and ran the ball out of bounds with d one-yard gain on the next play. Then Marston took the ball and circled right end for

SAGE LOSES BIG
 CHANCE AT TITLE

DETROIT, Nov. 27.-When Bob Sage, Detroit middleweight, sent over a crashing right in the fourth round of his last bout against Billy Britton here, he cheated himself out of the greatest opportunity of his ring career-a chance to meet Harry Greb in decision match.
 Sage's handlers called off the Greb match scheduled for December 1 last night after X-ray examination showed the Detroiter's hand was broken. One of the small bones had been splintered by the crushing blow smashed at Brit ton.

a touchdown. Hardy kicked goal from placement.
 Ensley kicked off to the 11-yard line and Levvy ran the ball back up the field with a pretty broken field run to Woodlawn's 37-yard line. Then. after failing to get over for first down on three tries, Levvy dropped back to punt on the fourth down. but a bad pass from center was recovered by him for a 20-yard loss on the play and Ems ley had the ball on Woodlawn's 27- yard line.
 Ensley Penalized
 Ensley was penalized five yards for off-side on the first play, but Lowry made four yards and Marston went around end for five while Lowry came back with seven for first down. With the ball on Ensley's 16-yard line Mar ston made four yards at right tackle as the quarter ended.
 On the first play of the second quarter Walker went through right tackle for four yards and came back with the remainder of the distance for touchdown. Hardy failed to kick goal.
 The remainder of the second quarter and the third were scoreless with Woodlawn displaying stiff defense for Ensley's rushing backs. However, in the fourth quarter Woodlawn punted to her 4O-yard line and Ensley took the ball there and went over for the final counter. Lowry hurled beautiful pass to Zeigler for a 32-yard gain which placed the ball on Woodlawn's eight-yard line. Then. after Walker had failed, Lowry took the ball and dashed through an opening between left guard and tackle for the needed distance to score. Hardy kicked goal from placement.
 Fine Aerial Attack
 The great aerial attack of the Jack cts, along with the brilliant unning of their backs, comprised a speedy attack which Woodlawn found unstopable. The deliberate running of Bob Marston behind his interference was one of the outstanding features of the game. but Bub Walker made many sensational dashes and was an equally brilliant per former for the Jackets. The Ensley flankmen played great defensive ball while Zeigler's uncanny catching of passes made many long gains possible.
 The entire Ensley line played good ball, charging in and stopping line dead on the line of scrimmage.
 For Woodlawn Levvy was the of fensive star while Chandler, at end, and Jones and Clarke, in the line played we'll.
