(BY NEA SERNICE)

Philadelphia, March 17.-Basehall is no respecter Of persons. Its con- stantly changing personnel often brings about decidedly unusual con- ditons,
 Four years ago Ty Cobb and Howard Ehmke parted company the bittercst of enemies The former. as manager of the Detroit Tigers, severed relations when he traded Ehmke to the Boston Red soX. That was in 1923.
 After playing in Boston for three years Ehmke figured in another deal that sent him 10 the Philadel- phia Athletics.
 Now by most peculiar turn of the wheel Ty Cobb, for 21 years a star at Detroit has quit that club and tied up with Connie Mack al Philadelphia.
 When Cobb traded Ehmke 10 Bos- ton, he didn't mince words as 10 his reason. He broadcast the fact that while F,hmke had enough stuff to be one Of the games greatest lllfIFlS, l4s StIiS ld'ft'D tbHi iEl I'
 Eh1nke took issue with Cobb as to his failure to win for Detroit, in sisting Ty tried to pitch every game from center field, thereby destroy ing initiative, aggressivencss, also ambition on the part of Ehmke.
 Aside from explaining that he had 10 look toward center field while trying to pitch to the batter, Ehmke also alleged Cobb had thrown him off his stride, destroyed his poise by insisting he resort to the use Of the "bca' ball"
 The "bean-ball" is weapon of intimidation. The thought is to throw it as close as possible to some vulnerable part of the batter's an atomy, the head in particular. not 10 injurc, simply to put fear in the heart of the batter.
 Ehmke prior to his coming to Philadelphia, was very unpopular with the players on that club be- cause he always seemed to use the "hcan-ball" in q pinch. On joining the Athletics, Ehmiie explained he was simply obcying orders under the threat of heavy fine,
 A fist fight between the two under the grandstand at Detroit followed these accusations on the part of Ehmko. Who really got the worst of the clash is still Q matter Of con- lecture.
 More unkind words passed be- tween the two as q result of the fstc battle and the enmity in creased. When Cobb resigned as manager Of the Tigers, Ehmke is alleged to have said Cobb for years was Detroit's greatest pcnnant han dicap.'
 Cobb, on the other hand, has al various times expressed his opinion of Ehmke and his pitching, always in uncomplimcntary terms. | After Cobb traded Ehmkc, his greatest delight was in having the | Tigers knock him from the box. 1 This they did quite often, Ehmke not having much success against his old teammates, As a rule Cobb led the attack.
 Strange happenings, such as often take place in baseball, once again brings these two bitter enemies to the same club. However, we. have the word of Connie Mack that he has no intention of making them roommates.

Paso Robles, Calit, March 17 l79 The Pittsburgh Pirates. worlds champions of 1925, are ready for q comeback
 After q season of disappointments ard internal difficulties, the Buc- cancer band. again has acquired the lighting qualities that featured their sensational dash to the peak two years ago,
 Donie Bush. new manager isn't claiming the credit but he is getting a lot of satisfaction out of the way the squads morule and team work has improved. 4 great Detroit $hortstop in his day Bush took over the Pirate reins this season after D successful campaign in the Ameri- can Association as pilot of the h. dianapoIis club.
 The usual run of hard luck in training injuries and sickness has been felt during the past few weeks but this hasn't dampcncd the en- thu5iasm. Ray Kremcr. star pitch CT and John Gooch. catcher, had touch of the grippe and following that GoOch had q siege Of neuritis. Three others, Glenn Wright, short stop. Clyde Barnhart and Herman Layne, both seasoned outfeldors. were laid up temporarily with in iuries.
 Despite the sensational shoWings Of several recruits, the seasons opening IS expected to see the bulk Of last years team holding down their regular bcrths.
 Wright, who displayed nid-season form after q couple of days in camp, has no opposition. Captain Harold Pie" Traynor is a fixture at third base while George Grantham appar- cntly holds undisputed sway over the first base position.
 Second base IS the bone Of con- tention with Joe Cronin, San Francisco youngster, giving Hal Rhyme. veteran. close race for honors. It developed into such a tight race for couple of weeks that Bush alternatcd the pair daily. How ever, the more seasoned Rhyme is expected lD lilli ciL HiLu " lbIt when the campaign opens.
 Earl Smith and Gooch are due for the catching bcrths although Claude Linton. a recruit from the Montana Copper league, has shown ability.
 The outtield Is well taken care of. Paul Wancr and Ha2en "kiki' Guy Ter are fixtures. Waner, the clubs l. lgs LGl,, turning in stunning practice per formaucas and both he and Cuyler have been driving the ball to all corners of the lot. Barnhart has opposition from a trio of newcomers, all of whom look with longing eyes on his left field position. They are Laync, who starred with Toronto; Fred Briclell, hard hitting recruit who joined the club late last year, and Adam Comorowsky, from Will Transport of the New York Penn sylyauia league. Moon Harris, acquired from the Washington S"na- tors, has his cap set for a job as utility infcldcr and outtieldcr,
 Headed by Ray kremer, of 1925 worlds series fame and the leading National league twirler last season, the pitching staff appears inocUlated with enough pep for couple of teams. Such veterans as Emil 1dc. Vie AldridEe, Bullet" Joe Bush and Mike Cvengros have been going through their paccs creditably. Among the promising recruits is By~on Speece, an underhand hurler who served with Bush at lnd!- anarolis. Walter Tauscher, from WillIamsport.

 Colonel Jacob Ruppert, dropped into camp at St, Petersburg, Fla. yesterday 10 see how his S2l0,0O0 investment In Babe Ruth was pan- ming out, to look over the rest of his club, and work on the holdout problem at close range.
 He was satisfied at every turn for Babe hobhlod to the plate with his injured leg and added another new ball to the collection drifting in the swamp outside the park; the team shaped up nicely in practice; and lanky Bob Meusel deserted the hold out ranks for q two-ycar contract.

Adams scored 100 runs a season,
