~ ABBY STREET has seen many
4 a great ball player come and
90. He caught Walter John
son when the big Train"
was at his pitching peak. He batted
against Joe Wood, RUDE waddell, Ed
Walsh. He played with two of the
greatest all-star major league teams
ever put together for any purpose.
Who was the greatest all-around
player of them all?
"Ty Cobb, without the slightest ar
gument," responded the old sergeant.
There's no one else even close, no
matter whether you talk about Ruth
or Wagner or Speaker or any of them.
cobb was just settling into his prime
when broke into the American
League, back In 1907" went on Street.
DAY after day saw him pull plays
that have never been duplicated. He
could do everything. And what a ter
ror he was on attack! He had a 90
horsepower brain that nobody in the
game could keep up with.
IN just give you a couple Of ideas
of the things he used to do. He got to
ton. The batter hit a short fly that
George Mcbride, our Shortstop, and a
smart one, went back to the edge of
the infield for. Mac figured Ty would
make break for the plate after the
catch and was all set for him.
Cobb poised himself and was of
as soon as Mcbride caught the ball,
but as Macs arm went back for the
throw Ty pulled up as quickly as he
had started. Mcbride saw him do 1t
and let his arm drop. Before he could
recover himself and make the throw
Cobb was OF again and over the plate.
1t was one OF the smartest things ]
ever saw on q ball field.
Another day Cobb noticed an out
fielder playing out of position. He
punched a hit to the open spot. The
fielder moved little the next time,
but Cobb again placed his hit safely.
He cutguessed that player five straight
times. And it wasn't an accident, any
enc Of them.
cobb didn't depend on sheer slug
ging, the way Ruth does. but he could
hit them far and wide when he wanted
to and with ball that was dcader than
the one we have now.

understood Cobb. He was q Jekyll and

Others, you couldn't go near him.
He was high-strung and, as say,

Of everybody else on the field. Guess
that's why he found 1t tough trying to

GRAIN FUTURES
OFF FRACTION
Stronger Cables Have No
Effect at Chicago;
Corn Uneven.
BY HAROLD E. RAINvILLE
United Press Staff Corresnnndent

CHICAGO, March i7.-Further
spreading between wheat and corn
and some selling of the former grain
by locals, eased wheat at the open
ing ON the Board of Trade today.
Liverpool was dull, but steady on a
lack Of pressure. There was some
buying on resting orders, but sup
port was largely lacking.
Corn was somewhat uneven, but
mostly firm. Oats were uneven in
small way, being adversely affected
by wheat and corn. Trade was light
in ali grains and the market easily
affected.
Liverpool Higher
At the opening old wheat was UNI
changed, new wheat was Is to q
cent lower, corn was q cent lower
to Il cent higher and oats were *
cent lower to 4 cent higher. Pro-
visions were steady.
Liverpool opened higher, as ex-
pected, and at nid-afternoon the
market was y to Il cent higher.
Buenos Aires started slowly but was
up e cent shortly before noon. The
technical position of wheat at the
close Monday was regarded as easy
owing to the short covering during
the last hour. This was mainly on
the strength in corn.
One of the larger professionals
put out a short line of July and
September wheat early Monday.
Predict Corn Rise
The general feeling is that any
incentive to buying must come from
abroad, although strength in corn
would be an aid.
A number of traders are of the
opinion that now is the time to
buy corn. They anticipate small
receipts and consequently no pres
sure from the cash grain. The
statistical position is very strong
However, the market seems to de-
pend somewhat on the trend in
wheat. Receipts at primary points
have a declining tendency.
Oats are holding to a narrow
range but are paying more atten-
ito nto news of the new crop. Fa.
voraIble reports come from the
southwest,
