THREE BASEBALL,
PLAYERS PUT in
HALL OF FAME
(By Dispatch A.lP. wro)

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-The names Of
three American League baseball club
managers have been added to the
leagues permanent hall Of fame
President b. b. Johnson announced
today. Ty Cobb, manager Of the De-
torit Tigers Iris Speaker pilot Of
the Cleveland Indians, and Eddie Col
Inns, leader of the Chicago White
Sox, are the newest honores.
The committee of baseball writer's
selected to make the annual award
of the American league trophy has
approved their selection as the most
valuable player" in 1911, 1912 and
1914 respectively, voted in those
years by an unofficial jury of experts
under almost the same rules which
now govern the election.
Cobb won the honor in 1911 with
the highest possible total, 64 points
That year he led the American league
in batting, in runs scored, and IN
stolen bases. Speaker won the honor
in 1912 with SO out of possible 64
points. He was ranked third that
year, Cobb and Joe jackson being
above him, but he was in NOR.
5''lheS anu req IN runs scored ana
total bases. That year also he was
sensational as fielder.
In 1913 Walter Johnson was award
ed the honor, but his name already
is on the modern list, for he won the
league trophy in 1924. In 1914 Eddie
Collins was the winner with 63 out
of possible GA points. That year
Collins was second to Cobb in bat
ting, led the league in runs scored
and was second to Fritz Maisel in
stolen bases. He had wonderful
record as fielder and in the opin-
ion of the committee on awards was
the chief factor in winning the PEN
nant for the Athletics that year

COLE SVNIES

Perhaps in no sport is dress quite

The football player when he dons
his uniform has the thought of pro-
lection uppermost in making the Sc
lection of his outfit.
The ball player gives some con
sideration to protection, but the bis
idea in the baseball uniform is a
light flannel that viii absorb per-
spiration and at the same time look
passably well.
The boxer and swimmer wear the
lightest possible uniform so as not
to handicap their efforts
It is. the same with practically
every sport except golf with refer
ence to the uniform. The golf play
er dresses largely for the matter of
looks.

knickers look like Big Sixes," with
hose and sweater of many colors to

is the one thing that may break III

ize the French girl. Helen must get

such, subject to flights of artistic

turing the opinion that there are at
least a half dozen fighters of Car
pentier's weight who could take him.
Despite this, American promoters
are falling all over themselves in an
effort to induce Carpenter to sign
a fight contract at a fancy figure.
The popularity of Carpenter with
promoters as. we'll as fight fans can
be attributed to color. In sport, color
means the fellow who is different.
Battling Sikh had color, literally
and otherwise. Color in sport can as.
sert itself in many ways.
Carpenter was the Gorgeous

Sikh was just poor nut" con-
