EDISON FELLS COBB
WITH WICKED DRIVE
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
FORT MYERS, Fla, March S.-A
venerable recruit named Tom Edison
has made good with the Philadelphia
Athletics.
In his first time at bat Edison, To-
cal boy, who has won some fame in
the Invention League, yesterday
whaled the ball back at the pitcher
with such vigor as to knock $4,000
worth of base ball talent flatter than
the joke about youth being served.
The pitcher was Ty Cobb, who had
donned for the first time in % years
of big league base ball. a uniform other
than that of the Detroit club. In cele-
bration of the occasion some so news
paper and moving picture photogra.
| Edison was drafted from his rubber
experiments to play one of the leading
roles.
While the cameramen deployed for
| places in the sun, Connie Mack, acting
as master of ceremonies, escorted the
white-haired wizard to the plate, armed
J him with bat borrowed from Zach
Wheat and instructed him at swinging
at a ball as the grinning Cobb stood
ready to pitch.
The mighty Cobb came in half way
from the pitchers box and tossed an
easy one right in the inventors whole
hearted swing. He caught it squarely
and before the astonished Ty could
lift hand the bali hit him on the
shoulder and rolled him over In the
dust.
Fans yelled Justify. "Sign him up.'
and cameras were turned frantically.
Think you will be able to do that
when you are 80?" Edison asked Cobb,
Il hope so," said Connie Mack,
answering for Cobb. ''It will mean a
lot OF pennants to us in the next 40
years."
If Edison had gone in for base hall
instead OF electric lights, phonograp
rubber, and such folderols, he would
have been great free hitter.

OBSERVANCE OF THE FOUL
line
byARTHUR URBAN

RM motion In delivery Of the
~ duckpin ball is most i'm
"A portant. From the time
4 a you start your delivery with
the ball lined up with the
object pin, your arm should never
leave a straight line in going back
and in being brought forward
again. That straight swing must
be mastered to achieve success in
duckpin bowling.
Now for something important.
yet often overlooked in duckpins.
Observe the foul line. IN duck
pins one is supposed to roll a ball
down 60-foot alley at ten pins.
II two bowlers are competing with
one rolling the ball so feet and the
other but so feet, the latter cer-
tainly has an advantage.
Observe the foul line rule that
prohibits the bowler crossing the
black stripe at the front of the
alley when delivering the ball in
every game you play. Then when
you get into league games where
there may be q judge on the foul
line, you will be thoroughly at
home. You will have so gauged
your steps that you will finish your
slide without encroaching upon foul
territory.
There are many good bowlers---
or should they be called good"
bowlers- who cannot remain back
Of the foul line without great
effort. This frequently throws
them off balance, thereby handi-
Gaping their game.
Watch the foul line--and do not
cross It.
