TWO Platoon
IDEA A BUST
IN DETROIT
By STONEY McLINN

Ty Cobb Is fit to be tied, accord
ing to reports coming from the
western sector Of the American
League. Detroit's rwo-p1atoon sys
tenn has been a mammoth bust SC
far.
At the spring training camp OF
the Tigers, Cobb was as tickled al
a boy who has mastered "All Alone
on his harmonica-which musical
instrument was known as a mouth
organ in our day, by the way.
Tyrus, a trail blazer by instinct
and desire, had ssvolved a two
platoon idea for his team. He was
confident that actually, as we'll as
psychologically, it was sound.
The two-platoon System meant
this: That for each position on the
team pitchers excluded there were
two players nearly equal in skill
extensively and defenSively.
OF course, Detroit had eight or
ten pitchers. Five or six Of them
were regarded as First string"
Cobb's first thought was to pro.
vide substitutes in case Of injuries
Lack Of first-class understudies last
year cost him the pennant, he de.
clared.
But the psychological feature OF
his two-platoon system appealed to
the Detroit diamond director quite
as much as the physical advantages
A player who is in the game and
wants to continue there will "ster
on it" with all the pep and spirit
at his command when he knows
that another player rated Just az
good is eagerly awaiting the com
mand to go to work.
Theoretically, Ty Cobb's two
platoon system was-maybe II
should be written "is''-fine and
dandy.
Tyrus shakes up his batting order
almost every day. He has tried
everything known to science or
superstition. But the breaks con.
tinue to give Cobb and his en-.
ployes the horse laugh.
. Small wonder that Ty is fit to be
tied. But he remains true to his
tWo-platoon system.

FOUR THOUSAND LEARN
SCOTLAND'S OLD GAME

What is undoubtedly the biggest
golf class in the world gathers at
the Lake View High School in Chi
cago. The class numbers 1000 and
the professor is Amber Andrews.
The originator of the idea is Charles
H. Perrine, principal of the school,
a firm believer in the physical ben
efits to be derived from golf, and
who puts his theories into practice.
Perrine believes in starting the
boys and girls young SO that If
they prefer to follow the more ac-
tive forms OF sport for the time
being they will have something that
will benefit them in future years
He had enough confidence in his
idea to defray part Of the expenses
out of his own pocket. Andrews
was engaged and each day he takes
from fifty to sixty players for
group lessons.
