Not so long ago Howard Ehnke,

arm. And being a business man
he tapped the interest of those Is
other teams in this guy who casts

The reply, as the story goes. came

CHICAGO, Oct. 81 Right
handed pitchers will stop those
Cubs. just wait and see.
In an unpretentious suite at a
local hotel Tyrus Raymond Cobb,
one of the greatest ball players OF
all time and last year a member
of the Philadelphia Athletics, yester-
day expressed himself to this ef-
feet.
After witnessing his baseball
enemy, Howard Ehmke, perform
against the Bruins in the afternoon
the Georgia Peach's confidence was
redoubled.
Say" he remarked to a nearby
scribe in the press box-yes, Ty Is

cuffed three times out of four.
connie Mack had an idea

entered this series, and using
right.handers was one OF them.
Don't be surprised If he keeps
II up"
It must be admitted that Joe
McCarthy's hard slashing crowd
looked weak, indeed, before the
might of Howard Ehmke. Not only
did the lean pitcher strike out lS
men, but he made them look bad
very bad-whle doing so.
In the first place only one man
in Chicagos starting lineup, Cap
tain Charley Grimm, batted from
southside posture and Grimm alone
flashed some semblance of the form
expected of him. Such mace weilders
as Hornsby, Wilson, Cuyler and
Stephenson, big National League
guns, failed utterly to solve Ehmke's
stuff and it is logical to presume
that good right handed shooting VIII
not tend to fatten their averages in
future games.
For this reason it Is thought that
the mysterious Mack, who changes
his mind on the spur Of the moment,
will follow up with George Earnshaw
