PROS URGE 1O8-HOLE
TEST FOR OPEN TITLE.

NEW YORK, November 19.-Three
days instead of two for the national
open championship. a total Of $50
qualifiers pro-rated over three dis
tricts. and a suggestion that contest
ants be started In threes instead of
pairs, were among the recommends :
tions made by the delegates of the
Professional Golfers Association at
their annual meeting here.
Final decision in all matters per-
tanning to the national open. which
will be held at the Worcester Country
Club I'm Massachusetts next June, is
in the hands Of the United States
Golf Association
The suggestion regarding the extra
day for the national championship
proper also includes a proposition to
have the $50 qualifiers play s holes
on the first and second days and
then to have the Ga leaders and those
tied for siXty-fourth place to play at
&c holes the third day.
SO far as the 15e qualificrs were
concerned. il was the consensus
among the delegates that the number
allotted u year ago at Oakland Hills
so in all-waS too limited. The
plan this year is to pro-rate the play
ers in the East, Middle West and Far
West, according to the number of en-
trants.
The Far West" section is also a
new recommendation. as last year the
country was divided into East and
Nest. That meant that players .wes'
Of the Rockies had to travel "oupl

met the Pirates under Fred Clarke.
Cobb had finished one Of the best sea-
sons of his career. He batted 90
points higher than in the previous
season. He won the batting cham
pionship of his league again with an
average of .S77. He made 216 hits
that season and stole IS bases. He
scored 116 runs. 1t was a record that
made him the biggest sensation in
base ball. that established him as
the kingpin player of the season.
Due to his improved play in 1903
he was expected to turn the trick
In the world series. Cobb alone made
the Tigers farorite. His two sue
cessive failures against the Chicago
Cubs were forgotten.
And in the first Detroit-Pittsburgh
game Cobb was the sensation that he
was expected to be. In that game
he made clean steal of hosee with
Babe" Adams pitching and Gibson
catching. 1t was d perfect play and
his work that day made the base ball
sharps predict that he would carry
away the individual honors of the
series.
But Cobb ceased to shine after the
first game. He was trying harder
than ever, but his best efforts were
wasted. This was due chiefly to
Babe" Adams. This pitcher had
rarely been mentioned In the pre-sea-
son stories. lie was not one Of the
dependable regulars, and when Fred
Clarke started him against Detroit
he was severely criticized for pick
ing an untried youngster. Adams.
they said, lacked the needed major
league experience to pitch In series
as important as the one with Detroit.
Adams the Hero
Clarke made a fortunate choice.
Adams was the hero of the world
series of 1909. The series was won
by Pittsburgh and Adams pitched
| the Pirates to victory in three of
| the games they won. He had curve
| bail and a slow one that Detroit could
not hit, and Cobb, star player of the
| majors, made one hit off Adams in
| the three games. He faced him IL
| times
In the two preceding world series
against Chicago Cobb found a
nemisis in big jeff Overall. He
pitched four of the games these two
| team played in two years. Cobb
| faced Overall In all four games. He
| batted Is times against him and
/ made two hits, one Of these a three
| bagger.
Cobb played II games against Chi
| cago and Pittsburgh in the three
| world series. He was at bat 6o
| times, scored seven runs, made II
| hits, stole four bases and batted for
| an average of .262. His average
| against Adams was .091, and against
I overall 1t was .125.
, lie always keenly felt his failure
| in these series. He always wanted to
! get into another world series TO re-
! deem himself. But the opportunity
| never came again.

3 Failures
CHAPTER XVIII.
BY n, G, SALSINGER.

A MONG the world series heroes
~ of base ball you will not find
\ the name OF Ty Cobb, al
though he played i'll three, against
the Chicago Nationals i'll 1907 and
1908 and against Pittsburgh Ma
tionals in 1909.
He had just finished his first full
and successful season In 1907 when
Detroit, under Hughie Jennings, met
Chicago for the world title. He had
won the batting championship OF
his league had made 212 hits and
stolen 4a bases. He established
himself that season as the most i'm
portant base ball figure of the year.
Cobb was expected to do some
remarkable work against Chicago.
He was picked everywhere to be the
star Of the series. Most of the pre-
series discussion concerned Cobb.
And that was the trouble. Cobb.
sensitive, reading much of what
wsS written. hearing more, went into
the series to outdo himself. to do all
he was expected TO do-and more.
The re nit was that Cobb overtried.
He overpressed. He failed abso-
lutely. There has probably never
been bigger failure in world
series than Cobb. His work was
most ordinary. His team lost the
series. and much Of the glory that
he had accumulated during the play
ing season was lost by his poor show
ing in the world series.

Various excuses were made by
those who had faith in Cobb. They

dictions.
He got another chance. Cobb en-
joyeJ another brilliant season In
1908. although not as good as in
1907. He managed to retain the bat
ting championship Of the American
League, although he batted for an
average of only .324 But in 1905 the
American League saw the best pitch
ing in its history. a fact that may
be surmised from the top batting
average. Cobb stole 10 bases less
than the year previous and made "a
less hits. But. when the Tigers met
the Cubs again in the Fall Of that
year Cobb was expected to vindicate
himself. He was once more the most
discussed player in a world series.
His second attempt to establish
himself as a big series player did
not meet with much more success
than the preceding effort. He once
more was a disappointment. Cobt
deeply felt the humiliation of his
failure in 1907 and tried to make
amends. He tried too hard. He
pressed himself too much. He felt
too keenly how much depended on
his showing. And he was just an
ordinary player. The demand had
been too great.

Oakland and Los Angeles have been
the plague spots of the Pacific Coast
League, and the injection of new
blood with the establishment of the
new owners at Oakland should have
an effect not only in that city but
throughout the entire circuit. where
there have been rumors of gambling
and "something doing" all season.
1t is said that an investigation is
under way now to try to fasten
guilt upon suspected players If
any collusion between gamblers and
players can be proved the players
will be dropped. They may not be
expelled outright, but they will not
be likely to get a chance to play in
organized base ball next year.
Most of the trouble on the coast
followed the trip of Nick the Greek"
from Chicago to that section.
There is a lot of enthusiasm in
Oakland about Weiss and Johnson
entering the city, because Cal Ewing,
the retiring owner of the club, has
paid more attention to base ball poll
tics than to the building up of a win
ming team, and Oakland has been a
trailer SO long that the fans had al
most given up the idea that it could
ever be anything else. Oakland has
