base and an error gave the Manual

eighth frame, in which Tech manu-
factured its two additional counters.
Western tailed four times i'll the

pleted the scoring with half a dozen
runs in the sixth.
"Biggy" Quinn, who BANKED Busi-
ness for eight straight innings last
Tuesday, went the route on the mound

NEW YORK, April 2S.--Ameri-

to accept constitution revised dur
ing the Winter.
Some of the magnates said that
the little mesh bag which has been
adjudged by Commissioner Landis a
part of the pitchers paraphernalia
in any league of orga pized base ball
might come up for discussion. SO
far as known the American circuit
and several of the minor leagues
which took a stand against the new
rule at the time it was passed have
not rescinded orders barring resin

Recently several players com
planned that Washington pitchers had
been using resin from a bag in the
dugout and President Johnson of the
American League took action to stop
the practice if the assertions were

1T IS EASY FOR COBB
TO SKATER RECORDS

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 2S.-Ty Cobb, who
topples over at least three base ball
records every time he safely swings
on the horsehide, stands a chance
of setting new marks about a thou
sand times this season if he continues
to play and holds the pace of his
first start in the twenty second yeai
of his career in the majors.
The veteran pilot of the Detroit
Americans. who holds more base ball
records than anybody else in the
game. started his first 1926 game with
the Tigers yesterday, his previous
appearances being as pinch hitter
and he clinched his teams victory
over Chicago by his willow work and
incidentally chalked up a whole hat
ful of new records. His single. dou
BILE and triple in four times at bat
brought in four runs and Cobb scored
twice himself.
When Ty singled he bettered three
batting marks previously held him
self--those of the most hits in any
league. the most singles ever made
by one major Lacquer and the most
total bases for one major player. the
last record previously standing at
1856. Then he doubled, passing his
old record of / ,036 extra long bingleS,
rebreaking his totals for hits and the
most bases and adding to another
old Cobb record for the most extra
bases on extended hits
His three -bagger boosted five rec.
ords-the four just reset by his dou-
BILE and his old total for triples. When
he crossed the plate two times he
shattered still another, pushing up
his total for most runs ever scored
by one league player to 2.040.
The trick in it is that Cobb is so
far out in front that he automatically
boosts a series of top marks every
time he hits. In addition, there eX-
lists the possibility of his beating his
lifetime batting percentage and his
numerous season and "consecu-
tive" records during the year.

Although it would be Ogden's initial
starting assignment if he were chosen
today, it would not be his first work
under fire this season. Curly has
participated in three games and was
in one long enough to be charged
with it's loss. That was in the Ma
tionals' first clash with the Yankees.
when he relieved Alex Ferguson after
the second inning and took a lacing
for five rounds. Before that, Ogden
had pitched two frames against the
Athletics here and later he faced the
AS in an inning in Philadelphia
During the training season in the
South, Ogden was used frequently and
generally gave a good account of him
self. The arm soreness that affected
his work in the Spring of 1925 and
caused his transfer to Chattanooga
of the Southern Association for sew
eral months apparently had disap-
peared, and while his efforts in a re-
lief role have not been of such high
order since the championship season
started, the Sheik of SwarthmOre
claims his salary wing is in splendid
condition.
Whoever started for the Nationals
was apt to be opposed by Charlie
Ruffing, a pitcher of worth who has
done especially well with a club of
the caliber of the Red Sox. Ruffing
hurled part of the tenth inning Sun
day. when the F'ohlmen won and had
been expected to toe the slab yester-
day.
Several Nationals have had their
batting averages helped to some eX-
tent by the revised scoring rule that
keeps a time at bat away from the
batsman when runner advances any
base after a fly catch. Naturally the
players like any rule that may boost
their hitting percentages, but not
every one connected with the game
thinks well of this revised part Of the
code. Bill Hanna, veteran base ball
writer of the New York Herald
Tribune, thinks it poor in a way and
backs this thought with a good argu-
ment Here 1t is:
In the first place, there ought to
be no such thing as a sacrifice fly. but
if there is, by all means it should ap-
ply to second and third as well as
home. The only real sacrifice is when
a batter deliberately lays down
bunt to advance a runner, thus sac
riflcing to a large degree his chance
to make a base hit.
But why he should get a sacrifice
for bringing man in and not for put
ting MIN on third or second was beyond
the bounds of common sense and fair
ness. hence the change of the rule to
reasonable basis. 1t is laughable to
contend that batters deliberately hit
| flies to bring man in from third.
They are trying to make base hits.
For instance, a team goes to bat
in the ninth inning. 10 runs behind.
A man gets on third. The next batter
brings him in with an outfield fly. For
that he gets credit for "a sacrifice. Did
he actually try to hit that sacrifice
under those circumstances" Forget 1t.
"The new rule is an improvement
on the old and TO that extent prog.
ress. One of the hardest things for
the chronic standpatter and fault
finder to recognize is progress"
After an exceptionally poor start,
Goose Goslin has reached batting fig
| ures more than merely respectable for
slugger of his repute. He is among
the five leading hitters Of the Ameri-

Angus McSween, one of the last
veteran survivors of old newspaper
row" and the early school of Wash

Spring following a stroke of paralysis,
will be buried from Hysong's funeral
church, Thirteenth and n streets, at

The death of Mr.. McSween was re-
ceived as a shock in journalistic cir
cles of Washington. AS with SO many
leaders of the old school, Mr.. Nc
Sween combined his duties as CORE
spondent with the battles of the po-
litical arena, and he took a promi
nent part in some of the hottest presi-
dental campaigns. He was particu-
larly active as a political strategist
during the period that Theodore
Roosevelt was fighting to give third
big party a permanent foothold in
American politics.
At the time that Roosevelt smashed
the Republican party by heading a
third ticket, in 1912, Mr.. McSween was
Washington correspondent. for the
Philadelphia North American. His
paper was openly pro-Rooseveltian
