Modern base ball fans know how Ty
Cobb. in his prime. would lead away
from a base and dare the pitcher or
catcher to throw the ball. or even dare
an infielder to make throw when ~
had appeared to overrun base. Inc
great player could keep such an even
balance between bases and was so
quick TO start that a fielder scarcely
knew whether to play for him coming
or going.
A quick start is the big thing about
base running. Combine with that d
knowing start. knowing" is this in
stance means outguessing the players
of the other team. Cobb, who plVoted
on his toes like a ballet dancer and
whose mentality displayed itself like
sparks from a dynamo, generally was
seconds ahead of his rivals in coming
to a conclusion as to what he would
do.
StOvey's Feats Rivaled CObb's.
There was an old-timer exactly like
Ty. only more so. His name was
Harry D. Stovey, once of the Ath-
letics When the modern boys tell
their friends that Cobb is the greatest
base runner who ever lived they are
well. if not what would be called
wrong, they are somewhat shy of fact.
Stovey could do everything in base ball
that Obj can or could do so far as
leg and foot work are concerned. He
could not bat like Cobb, but he could
field as we'll and he was one of those
insolent, self-confident. perfectly salts
fed men on the bases like Ty. Both
of them figuratively seemed to tell
fielders, pitchers and catchers to go
to the bow-wows while they paraded
around the bases.
Cobb, in his major league games, has
done some remarkable base running.
So, too, did Stovey, but when Stovey
was at his prime in game out In
northern Ohio against very fast
team, although not a big league team,
Stovey surpassed himself.
He was hitting well in those days.
The first time at bat he made base
hit Then he stole from first, second
and third in succession. The next time
at bat he made base hit and stole
from first. second and third In sue
cession. BY then the crowd was he
ginning TO yell advice in large chunks
at the home players. Stovey came
UP the third time and stole from first,
second and third in succession.
The fans shrieked and cat-called.
The pitcher and catcher Of the home
team conferred the next time Stovey
went to bat. He singled. On the next
pitched ball, the catcher, without look
ing, ran in front of the plate, caught
the ball and slammed 1t to second base
but Stovey, who had run down the
line a little between first and second,
had also run back and was standing
on first laughing at him. The pitcher
got the ball again.
Stovey began to dodge up and down
the line. The pitcher peered over his
shoulder, came as near to a balk as he
could two or three times, and finally

must almost have been inspired, made
a beautiful feint to pitch and threw

pitcher never knew exactly how or

The pitcher said things. He turned
his back to the ba tier and faced sec

1u Salary War; Robinson Hears Buzzg of the Pennant Bee
FANS SUE, AS BOUT
Is NOT FOR TITLE


NEW YORK, February 10.-An or
ganization known as the Sport Fol
lowers of Fair Play League is suing
every one connected with the Rosen-
berg Graham fight for So. the Herald
Tribune says today.
The league charges that the bout
was advertised as a bantamweight
championship contest at Madison
Square last Friday night, when In
reality no title was at stake. A. rule
of the New York Boxing Commission
limits the cost of fight tickets to ~
except in the case of championship
contests, when 80 tickets are sold.
Rosenberg scheduled TO defend his
bantam title against Graham in a 15-
round match. vacated the champion
ship, according to his articles of
agreement for the fight, when he
weighed ir, at 1922 pounds before the
match. Graham, weighing 11712, was
beaten decisively.
Papers in the suit will he served
on Tex Richard, president of the
Garden: John s. Hammond, vice presi-
dent: Boxing Commissioners Farley,
Brewer and Muldoon. and the boxers
and managers, the Herald-Tribune
says.
The boxing commission already is
investigating reports Of private
agreement between the boxers. Harry
SegaI, manager of Rosenberg. and
William Parr, manager Of Graham,
have been asked to appear before the
commission tomorrow.
The commission will delve into the
rumor that Graham, who was to have
received 121z per cent Of the receipts
actually received but 5 per cent and
was required by a private agreement
to turn over ~ per cent to Rosen

terms by telegraph Monday. A con-
tract, at a figure reported to be $4,000.
was mailed to him in Hollywood
Tuesday, Robinson said. Hendricks
said he had accepted Meusel's terms
after announcement that Cincinnati
had traded Eddie Roush, crack out
fielder, to New York for George
Kelly, Giant first baseman.
Deal Was Unexpected.
The latter deal, one of the most
unexpected and sensational in a Win
ter of wholesale changes and barter,
was completed yesterday. No cash
was involved.
In acquiring Roush John McGraw
has added to his lineup another color
full fielding star and powerful hitter
to team as an attraction with Rogers
Hornsby. former Cardinal manager.
Roush, traded to Cincinnati from the
Giants for Buck HerZog in 1915, has
ranked among the most brilliant out
fielders in base hall for 10 years. He
is a consistent .300-hitter and led the
League in 1917 and 1919.

NEW YORK. February l0.-Echoes
Of the first shots fred in Babe Ruth 6
long expected contract war with the
New York Yankees sounded through
the base ball world today.
Hardly had Col. Jacob Rupert,
president of the Yankees. announced
that the salary CONFLICT was on than
the Bambino levelled his guns on New
York all the way from Hollywood
where he is making movie.

Rupert offered him unsigned he said
because the terms called for the same
salary he has received for three years
$50 600. And unless better terms
are offered him, why, II quit oase

Col. Rupert said the big home-run
hitter would not be allowed to report
to the training camp at St. Peters
burg. Fla. until he signed a new con-
tract. Right back across the country
came Ruth 8 declaration that he would
report at camp March whether or
not the contract question had been
settled by that time.
Babe Talks of Quitting.
I'm not saying what terms I want
or what I would accept" Ruth said,
That's to be worked out with the
club owner But unless the terms
ere satisfactory. III quit base ball
il necessary. | wouldn't like to do
that. of course.
Babe is thought to have emanded
a contract covering several years with
the figures in the vicinity of 100000
per season.
Babe said that his income was not
necessarily dependent upon his dia-
mond activities. and would not be
less than his present salary If he were
to quit base ball entirely. Although
he has just completed A l0-week
vaudeville tour and now is engaged in
film work. he wouldn't have to
6lenend on them" either, he said.

He goes to Cincinnati to play center
field, and Eddie Roush. outfelder for

McGraw will use Terry at first base.
In Roush, the Giants manager gets
an outfielder who is not SO fast as he
used to be, and in Terry he will have

trade is the fact that both Kelly and
