PETITION TY
To- QUIT
Want Billy Evans to Take Up
Reins, Despite cobb's
Feats

There is gloom in New York over
the failure of the Yankees, and sad
ness IN Pittsburgh over the early
defeats of the Pirates. But for stark
tragedy in the major leagues we
must go to Detroit, where Fyrus
Cobb. hitting better than ever before
in his illustrious career, Is being
hooted by tickle fans.
In his twenty first season with
the. Tigers Cobb finds his reward
in a petition. which. is being circu-
lated all @over Detroit demanding
that. Ty be, deposed as manager and
Billy Evans. the umpire, be elevated
to the position.
There is no doubt that Cobb lacks
managerial faculties. But in view
of his brilliant services for Detroit
and the herculean effort which he
himself is making to raise the Tigers
from the ruck, he deserves a far
better fate than is beirg meted out
to him in the City of Straits.
Gone are the glories OF the Cobb
OF yore for the Detroit baseball
crowd. forgotten arc his remark
able deeds on attack and defence.
while the fans gaze with chagrin
at the standing Of the clubs OF the
son started the Tigers locked like
contenders for second or third place.
Now they nestle in the cellar.
1t would not surprise us If Cobo
lifted Frank Navin cut of a dire df-
Iemma by resigning as manager.
When Ty accepted the job he stated
that If he found that he wasO un-
suited for managing a ball club he
would quit. Fans of Detroit insist
that the standing Of the clubs is a
real index to Tys ebility in leader
ship.
Cobb finds tho need Of cheers Of
encouragement, but gets only h0ots
of derision. All Of which emphasizes
the unfairness Of the crowd, which
is quick to castigate for a lapse
but slow to remember achievement
and loyalty, The thing which is
taking place IN Detroit is severe
blow at professional baseball.

GOLF SIMPLIFIED
By "Chick" Evans.
THE CLUBHEAD.
Copyright, John Ollie Co.

See to it always that the
Glib head lies flat with neither
heal nor toe off the ground,
allowing the natural left to do
it's work. Never forget that
each club has a definite left for
a definite purpose. When prop
erly positioned the club sweeps
through the ball according to
its proper left. The soling of
the clubhead just before start
ing the stroke should be care
fully, comfortably firm, solidly,
and evenly on the ground.
The angle of the club face
and the imaginary direction line
Of flight should be accurately
right angular. Do not turn in
the toe of the clubhead. In the
hands of an expert player it is
sometimes we'll to turn it out
a little, but there is great
chance that any other player
will lay it over too much and
therefore l advise you to play
the natural lie. Before playing
examine the face of your club
to be sure that nothing is on
it, especially water, which
makes a smooth, slippery face
and prevents an even flight.
1t is a good time to say to
yourself that you should relax
little all over. The sand
papering or vibratory motion
should never be omitted. 1t is
the right amount of shivery
business at the beginning of the
stroke; the clubhead must not
be wabbly and it should be held
just quiet enough to make you
feel confident of what you are
going to do.
Then with the weight of the
body shifted back on the right
leg, and the left heel slightly
raised, press forward on the

For some time, it was question
able whether or not Combs would
ever play ball again. But the base
ball experts were agreed on one
thing, namely, that should the
young outfielder get back into the
game and if his playing ability had
not been impaired by his injury.
the name of Earl Combs would be
constantly featured in the news
paper headlines.
The same baseball experts at
the start of the 1925 season also
apicked the Yankees to breeze
= Through 10 an American League
pennant. That is, most OF them
did.
so~far as the predictions concern
ing the Yankees collectively were
concerned, the experts seem to have
scored a bright and shining zero.
But they deserve a high mark
about 100 per cent--for their pre-
dictions regarding the future of the
individual Yankee about whom thA
is written.
It hasn't been the fault OF Earl
Combs that the preseason favorites
are uncomfortably LOCATED ,lown
toward the bottom of the second
sdIyision. The fleet Kentuckian in
every way has made good all the
nice things that were expected Of
him. such as literally macing the
cover off the ball, covering his CEN
fer field position like the early
morning dew and dashing around
the bases like an antelope.
EarI's batting average has been :
over 400 since the season began.
He's banging out his two or three
hits per day with consistency
that indicates that his present
mark will not shrink to any
great extent over the seasons
run.
Combs. has been hitting all sorts
OF pitching He is about the only
man IN the Yankee lineup to whom
am Gray, the young right Ilander
OF the Athletics has held no terrors.
GRAY shut the Yankees out twice
within q week and Combs was the
one Yankee to whom the young
star of Connie Mack's hurting staff
was just another pitcher.
Like most left handed hitters,
Combs hits right handlers harder
than when he meets the delivery of
aouthpaws. AT least. that is the
general impression. But judging by
events to date, the difference isn't
very noticeable. Left handlers have
tramped TO the mound in platoons
during the first month of the sea
son and Combs Is up among the
first American League leaders.
II isn't likely that Combs will
: he benched when q s0uthpaw
faces the Yankees for a while at
least.
To some it seems that Combs has
not received the attention that his
record thus far this season war
rants. That is because the treat
ment bordering on lese majeste
accorded the Yankee has to a great
extent over-shadowed every other
topic in connection with the ath-
letes OF Miller Huggins.
Another reason is that Combs has
been a highly advertised young
man and that most people expected
him to be one of the 1925 stars.
His healthy swatting and efficient
work I'm the field have been taken
as a matter of course to a large
extent. 1t would have been far
more dramatic and far more
noticeable had Combs been some
unknown and unheard of rookie
blasting his way toward the batting
leadership.
Perhaps Combs may yet prove to
be morning glory but those who
think so will find themselves con-
Widerably IN the minority.

Every pitcher is liable to have a
bad day when he goes into that
box with nothing but a glove ana
a uniform and he can't throw
nothing but watermelons and grape
fruit. He is so easy that Mr.. Ian
dis takes the bats away from the
batters and gives 'em spoons. The
other team knocks off about twen-
ty runs and the pitcher hollers.
Rabbit ball"
That's different from the old
days. We used to holler, Wolf
unnpires." The rabbit ball is a
great thing for the jumps. If he
calls strike a. ball, nobody COM
plains at all because they realize
that an umpire amt no rabbit
hunter. They blame everything on
the baseball. A weak hitter comes
up to the plate and knocks the
first pitch for the Derby route and
the outfieldcrs get big ears from
chasing the rabbit ball.
But I think IL IL the bunk
about the lively baseball. Folks
claim It helped us to win the flag
last year and they wanted us to
fly a rabbit skin for pepnant.
1 admit there are plenty of home
runs this season, but that's be-
cause the pitchers have weakened
their eyes by staying up all
night and doing crossword ptIz-
zIes.
I guess Arthur Nehf was tossing
the Easter Bunny when he let
Cincinnati down with one measly
hit last week. Bressler got that
! solitary poke in the second inning.
That game, shows that a pitcher is
still a pitcher and that You can't
open up a store unless you got
the goods.
MY arm is feeling 50 good this
year that ] bet I could go into
that box and throw electric lights
and fresi. eggs for nine innings. and
not one of them would get busted,
