The Washington Times, reallz'
ing the tremendous local baseball
interest in this trade, telephoned
to st. Louis today to get expires
sions from Manush, Crowder, Cos
lin, Owner Phil Ball, Of the St,
Louis Browns, Walter Johnson
and Secretary Eddie Eynon.
The gist of their remarks fol
low:
walter Johnson: ! have had
this deal under consideration
since last November, when men
ton Of 1t was first made In
The Washington Times. It fell
through because. Owners Grit
filth and BAH couldn't agree on
terms. I believe IL means the
pennant for us, particularly If
we 20 along rs we have been.
While most people are attach
ing the gerater importance to
the GOsIin-M -Manush angle, 1t is
CrOwder on whom am bank
ing most heavily to swing the
balance Of this deals strength
in our favor"
Goose GOsIin: Gee, / hate
to leave Washington, but / SIM
pie haven't been able to get
going there this year, nor last.
Perhaps the change Of scenery
will do me good. / expect to
give the Browns my very best
efforts and leave Washington
with no rancOr i'm my heart
over the salary troubles / had
with Owner Griffith last winter
and i'm which The Washington
Times backed me up until /
could get . bonus clause on
which I could collect"
Heinie Manush: 'What .
break for me to get with a
pennant contender! I'm leav-
ing . lot Of friends here in st.
Louis, but I'll make plenty
more in Washington. A man
who wouldn't give Walter
Johnson his best fS no man ut
all. 1 believe GOSlin will bene-
fit by the small park I'm st.
Louis and get some Of those
deep flies Of his over the fence
that wouldn't clear the Wash

Alvin CrOwder: TITS just like
going back home to me. / had
the same trouble in Washing

.A[TROCK CALLS
TY COBB BEST
BY JOE HOLMAN

ST. LOUIS, June 14.-Who is
the greatest ball player of all
time?
"The greatest bali player of
all time? Ty Cobb, Of cOurse!"
Convincingly enough your Uncle
Nick Altrock. backed by 35 years
of baseball experience. answered
this question recently.
But how about Ruth?" an in
terested bystander inquired.
THE Babes great slugger and
good ball player, but Cobb had
him faded in all around ability" !"
Nick 4etorted readily.
Cobb could do everything.
He was a great hitter, crack
Outfielder, q flash on the bases
and always ON the alert.
"He could probably out.think
any player that ever lived and
got away with some remarkable
chances.
"Yes," Nick reiterated in
closing, Ruth can hit a bali
harder and longer than any
body I've ever seen, but for all
around team value and ability
give me Cobb. There will
never be another like him."
Having proceeded this far Nick
was asked to pick his an-time
All-America ball club.
It is interesting to note that
only one preSent-day big Lacquer,
Babe Ruth, is numbered among
his selections.
OF II players chosen nine rep
resent the American League.
In brief Altrock'S team fo,-
lows: CatcherS-Johnny King.
Chicago Cubs; Buck Ewing, New
York Giants. PitcherS-Walter
johnson, Washington Griffmen;
Grover Alexander, Philadelphia
Nationals; Rube Waddell, Phila-
delphia Athletics; Christy Mat
thewson, New York Giants, and
Cy Young, Boston Red Sox. First
baseman-Hal. Chase, New York
Yankees. Second baSeman-Na
poleon Lajoie, Cleveland Maps.
Third baseman-Jimny Collins,
Boston Red Sox. Shortstop-
Han sWagner, Pittsburgh Pi-
rates. Outfielders-Ty Cobb, De-
troit Tigers; Iris Speaker, BoS-
ton Red Sox, and Babe Ruth,
New York Yankees.
Although several Of these play
ers, notably Alexander, Speaker
and Cobb, have been connected
with more than one teap, they
are classified with the club on
which they won their spurs.
Nick considers Walter Johnson
the greatest pitcher he has ever
seen. He also credits Sir Walter
with the outstanding fireball.
Rube Waddell, he claims, was
second to johnson in SwiftnesS
and the king Of all southpaws.
Says Altrock in closing:
MAP Lajoie was the most
graceful infieIder the game
ever saw, with Hal Chase run.
ming him a close second
''NO shOrtstOpper that ever
lived could hold q candle to
Hans wagner. And Iris
Speaker looked like a million
bucks chasing flyballs!"
A creditable size-up whether
you agree with him or not!

In this article you claim
that Scott had the makeup Of
a great fighter. and you COM
pared him favorably with Gene
Tunney, and also stated Scott'S
left hand is classic. and further
you plainly stated that the
Englishman is the next thing
to Gene Tunney the heavy
weight division has ever had.
In your article of Saturday
last you stated that the sap
who guesSes the Sharkey-Schme-
ling fight is just lucky, that's
all. Possibly So; but, however.
my opinion is that the fight
will not be close and that it
will be Sharkey all the way.

Scott, which I've never repu-

In picking Sharkey, Thursday
OF this week, we also paid a
high compliment to Schmeling,
saying he is always a dangerous
fighter. Because one believes

necessarily have to believe the

BILL HAINES
FEATURED AT TERMINAL

What with William Haines in
spurs and a cowboy sombrero, Leila
Hyams and comedy provided by
Polly Moran and Cliff Edwards,
Way Out West which opens Sun
day at the Terminal, is something
really different in the way OF a
comic film.
Haines is seen as a carnival bark
er in a small western town. Here
he makes a group of cowboys lose
some money in his fake roulette
game. They determine revenge, and
carry him off to their ranch, where
he becomes a maid f-all-work and
a novice at the cowboy game.
He falls in love with a young
girl, who is part owner of the ranch,
and incurs the jealousy of another
cowboy who loves her. While the
boys are at roundup, the girl is
bitten by a rattlesnake.
Haines hurries her to the Hopi
snake doctor, and he is pursued by
the ranchers, who think he is elop-
ing. He hides in an Indian pueblo,
and fights back. After the men
learn the truth they are apologetic,
and the boy and girl are happily
united.
A news reel and short talking
subjects complete the bill at the
