the latter spot that Iris was
assigned. Ye gods, the way he
played center field there. BY some
stroke of fortune, or rather by
some stroke of the pen, when John
I. wasn't looking, Boston kept
string on the Spoke.
When it came time for the
Boston Red Sox to seek new
scouts if he had seen anything
worth while. Mr.. Ivory Seeker de-
clared that the best prospect he
ever beheld was in Little Rock and
was at that moment center fielding
for the Rockmen.
How much do they want for

{ dug involuntarily for his good old
c11eckbook.

piled the scout.
A hasty scribble with the pen,
and a check for $500 was neatly
made out and signed, then despatch
Cd to Little Rock. iris came back
to Boston, went into center field
and there remained for many years.
Incidentally Iris was flanked on
the left by Harry Hooper and on
the right by Duffy Lewis.
This trio formed one of the
greatest outfieId combinations ever
seen in action. The Boston fans
even now will tell you with tears
In their eyes, curses upon their

Be their sorrow what it may, and
their garb the old-fashioned sack

and Cleveland gained him. He won
a pennant for the Sixth City in
1920 and put worlds banner To
float in the breeZes that ripple
about Somers Field. This was the
first flag ever won by Cleveland.
Some of the natives are going
around now picking things off them
selves as a sign they never re-
covered from their delirium.
After several years of luck that
was changeable, Iris has his In

hitting the first day of the season,
and for a HitlesS Wonder, he hasn't
done so badly at all. II you crave
further. details along this line you
might seek the advice and counsel
of several numerous American
League hurlers.
Now to Tyrus, the last OF the
manager Ty just now il a bowling
success as a home run hitter.
But lay not the blame wholly
Upon the Great Georgian, he vino
stands as the greatest baseball
played who ever lived. For Mr..
Cobb, Of Royston, Ga.,- made the
game what it is today, and we
hope you're satisfied. At least you
should be with the Athletics.
Mr.. Cobb thoroughly revolution.
ized the national pastime and in.
vented plays that made the old
Sters sit up and take notice. Yea.
its true that In the good old
days they had stars, too. Tis
also true that Mike Kelly did
more with his brain than many
a man did with his bat. his hands
and his feet.
Michael stood alone on the pin.
nacle in the old days, a paragon OF
brains and ability among a gang
who liked the old army game, and
who relied upon punch and thurnp
rather than subtlety and strategy.
But while Mike puzzled his COM
peers, and made them look ridicu-
lous, they never were spurred to
make a serious study OF how to
stop Mike.
But when Cobb busted himself
with the reformation Of the national
game, why the other players, men
Of skill, ability and brain power,
were forced to study methods to
outwit Tyrus. It was in order not
to belle their own mental stature,
and not to appear ludicrous before
the fans.
Cobb's team was picked to- give
battle to the Yankees, but neither
the Yanks nor the Tigers have
given battle to anybody yet. But
Detroit has a good team and 1t
will show. Meanwhile We're the
other workmen on the Tigers only
as good as their manager. the
Tigers would be clawing their way
upward to first place.
Ty is going back. His dogs, as
the baseball patois so eloquently
styles the feet, are not as frisky as
they were once. Ty says so himself.
He also said that he cannot get the
speed around the bases that once
he owned. But even this failing in
his kennel has not thwarted Ty.
Always the student, he decided that
the best way to repair the damage
done by his aching Airedales was
not to put the strain of stealing
bases and sliding on them. Hence
he decided to hit home runs instead
Of the usual singles, doubles and
triples. He put his new scheme
into effect in st. Louis.
Consequently, Ty made a new
worlds record by hitting five homers
in three days. Running bases in
this fashion gave his dogs a much
needed rest. and then he could o0A'
tent himself with getting an occa-
sional single and a base on balls.
Thus the Four Horsemen ride.

Expansion Of the new National

He opposed the creation of q
separate planning commission, de-
claring that it would result in an
unnecessary waste Of time and
money and would duplicate q part
OF the work Of the present park
commission.
The committee reported to the
House. on Recommendation Of Col

authorization to the Rock Creek

condemn lands in Rock Creek val

but the Attorney General has ruled
that the commission had no authority

Congress.
