COBBS' SLIDE WORKED
 WITHOUT "TAKE-OFF''
Fleet Path Runner Never Hesitates Before Start
 ing Slide To Base

ball from the catcher, Wallace would look for Cobb's outstretched feet. Cobb always slid with one foot on the ground to touch the bag, the other foot free, about a foot above the ground. Wal lace would reach out with his right hand, holding the ball, and give the free foot twist. This quick twist caused Cobb's body to swerve to one side, out of line with the bag. The position of Cobb's body left no doubt in the minds of the umpires whether Cobb was safe or out.
 The Wallace system of tagging Cobb was a trick peculiar to Wallace. Others tried it but could not do it with his success. There was only one other man who could use the method and that was Charlie O'Leary who has been assistant to Miller Huggins, manager of the New York Yankees, during the years when they won the league championship. But O'Leary did not trouble Cobb because O'Leary was team-mate of Cobb's. O'Leary had the same knack of touch ing the ankles of base runners as they slid in and giving that sharp twist which changes the course of the slide and decided the play for the umpire. Sheridan's View
 "If all infielders were like Wallace and O'Leary you wouldn't need no um- pires," said the late Jack Sheridan on one occasion. ''Them two decides the plays for you. There ain't never any doubt in your mind when Wallace or O'Leary tags a runner, but Wallace is the cutter of the two by just little bit You never see them takin' the spikes of

 Last Practice
 The Phillips squad staged its last practice of the season Thursday morn- ing on Delta View park and though there are several injuries among the regulars the team will not be badly handicapped for its closing game. Moley Smith, the big tackle, has been suffer- ing with several sprains and minor in juries but is slated to start the game.
 There will be several regulars for Phillips woh close out their grid ca recr on prep elevens in the game Sat urday Captain Sanford at quarter, will be calling hIs last signals for the Crimson while Bartlett, the stellar pivot man, is also serving in his final game for Phillips. Cy Anderson, star flank man, closes out his career as well as will Motion Smith, the husky lineman.
 Other Crimson regulars who played their last game Saturday in a Grim son-white jersey are Feagin, tackle ]; Sudduth, guard Jaffe, halfback, and Gravlee, quarterback.
 The game should be hard-fought af- fair and will be Birmingham's last glace, probably, at the action in the fastly fleeting 1924 football season.

a runner. They always manage to get out of the way of 'em."
 Cobb has been tagged out numerous times and heard the umpires call him safe. He had a habit of making the play look different than it really was. He never overlooked an opportunity. He always tried to get between the umpire and the fielder whenever possible. He generally managed to hide the play and that made it a guess as far as the um- pire was concerned. That is what Cobb wanted. Whenever the umpires had to guess Cobb was certain of getting the edge.
