Georgian Flame of Pastime
Over More Than 20-Year

fNopyr;obt 1Q1Rl


CHICAGO, February 5.-The golden
~ age of base ball players was be-
tween 1900 and 1920-the golden
gates came later and then players as
a class were not so much. Two-thirds
of twentieth century players receiving
votes for places in base balls hall of
fame at CooperStown, N. Y, starred
some time during that stretch of
years.
No other period of the game ever
produced pitchers the equal of Mat
thewson, Alexander, Young. Walsh,
johnson, Brown and Bender. No
other had infielders like Lajoie. jim
my and Eddie Collins, Wagner, Brad
ley and Chase. You cannot match
Cobb, Speaker, Delahanty, Keeler and
jackson as outfielders except with
Babe Ruth and he was a product of
the period, although he did not reach
the apex of greatness until after 1920.
1t was expected that Ty Cobb would
be the No. star for the, hall of fame.
Ruth represented power in base ball;
Wagner was efficiency. But Cobb
was flame; lurid glow against the
green background of the playing field
for more than 20 years. Others flelded
better than Cobb-Speaker and Roush
for examples. Sisler was as fleet of
foot and half dozen or so could hit

Look for Simmons Comeback.

IF AL SIMMONS makes a batting
comeback, as the Tigers have every
reason to expect him to do, the world
champions will not have to worry
about center field any longer. The
Chicago Cubs figure their outfield will
be stronger with Frank Demaree mov-
ing to center to replace Freddy Lind
Strom.
To fill the temporary gap created by
the illness of Lloyd Little Poison
Waner, the Pirates obtained Fred
Schultz from Washington. Waner
was the top-ranking center fielder in
the league last season on defense, and
will be missed.
With the veteran Earle Combs
through, the New York Yankees ex-
pect to rely on the feet Ben Chapman
for all the center fielding needed.
Earl Averill will handle the job for
Cleveland.

n yEW YORK, February 5.-The
M National Hockey League race
" today found two clubs tied for
first place in each of the di-
visions and only one point separating
the third and fourth place teams in
the respective groups.
The Detroit Red Wings earned
A break with the New York Rangers
last night to go into tie with the
Chicago Blackhawks for the lead in
the American division. The Toronto
Maple Leafs whitewashed the Boston
Bruins, 80, to move into top place
with the Montreal Maroons in the
international standing, the latter hav-
ing been held to a draw by the New
York Americans, IL.
The game between the Rangers and
the Wings was one of the best seen
in New York this season and was
featured by scoring burst of Cecil
Dillon. who netted the first three
New York goals, to tie Dave Schriner
of the Americans for the leagues scor-
ing honors.
THE Toronto Leafs were hitting
on all cylinders as they humbled
the Bruins before about $4,000 Hub
fans. King Clancy scored the first goal
after taking pass from Art Jackson
when the first period was only %
seconds old.
The New York Americans played
a fiery brand of hockey, but couldn't
seem to get the puck by Goalie Billy
Beveridge more than once. They out
played the Maroons in the field, but
the goalie frustrated their efforts
when they reached the payoff window.
The Americans remained in the
cellar, one point behind the Cana
diens. Boston was one point behind
the third-place Rangers in the Ameri-
can standing.

WINTER ATHLETES
POISED FOR TESTS
Cold Weather Is Welcomed

World Games.

- ARMISCH PARTENKIRCH-
EN-, Germany, February S.
A thousand athletes from 2S
countries groomed equipment
and took final practice turns in the
cold, bracing weather that finally ar
rived for the opening tomorrow of the
fourth Winter Olympic games.
Performances were checked, skates
and sled runners were sharpened and
skis waxed once more for the formal
tests for which many of the athletes
had been preparing for four years.
Some of the contestants have been
here for weeks after disappointing mild
weather, and they welcomed a cold
spell that arrived two days ago.
The two villages of GarmiSch and
Partenkirchen fairly over1owed as the
teams, which had spread all over Eu-
rope seeking snow for practice or in
case of the hockey teams, playing tx
hibition games, assembled for the
opening ceremony.

THE American ice hockey team was
just in from France. The speed
skaters who had been racing in Switzer-

were late arrivals.
Following the opening ceremony to-
morrow morning, hockey will complete
the first days program, and no other
sport is scheduled until the first ski
events are run off Friday.
The two-man bob races and wom-
ems ski events further expand the pro-
gram Saturday. The bobbers haven't
had much chance to practice, except
vocally in disputes over the possibility
that the American sleds would be
barred from the run because of their
narrow runners. The improving con-
ditions, however, indicated they would
have nothing to worry about when the
competition began, as it is believed a
few cold days will put the slide in con-
dition for hard use.
The downhill ski racers survived an
other days practice without injuries
yesterday, although Dick Durrance had
to rest his injured ankles.

None Had Cobb'S Brain.

PUT none had Cobb's brain or Cobh's
- daring on the field; none his un-
ending turbulence. In his prime, Cobb
always thought beyond the next base.
That was his handicap as a manager;
he expected his players to keep pace
with his mental alertness and had no
sympathy with mediocrity Cobb's
natural physical assets were not un-
usual, but study and application made
him great.
In his early days with the Tigers,
Cobb could not hit a low curve ball
thrown by Doc White, a slender
southpaw of the Chicago White Sox
Cobb learned to hit that pitch by
having left handlers throw him moth
ing else in long hours of batting prac-
tice.
When Cobb faced White In the final
game of the 1908 season-when three
teams had chance to win the pen
nant-he drove out a double that
helped the Tigers win the champion
ship. Cobb was not great slider as
q young player, but days upon days in
the pit made him the hardest man to
tag the American League ever knew.
Cobb's courage never was doubted,
even by those who heartily disliked
the fiery Southerner. His road was
rough when he came up to the Tigers;
recruits were not pampered in those
days, and certainly not Cobb, who was
quick to take offense.
His fights with Butch Schmidt, the
burly catcher, still were club house
tales when this writer had his first
fling at base ball writing with the De-
troit team.

HELPED Other PLAYERS.


COBB played for weeks at stretch
with his hips torn and inflamed
from sliding or his ankles gouged with
spikes. "And the most he asked for
was daub of iodine" related Oscar
Witt, an old Detroit third baseman,
when telling of Cobb only last Fall.
Cobb helped many player improve
his work with advice and apt sugges-
tions. recall day when he stole
second three times as recruit short
stop covered the bag; each time he
slid in a different way. Later he told
the kid how to take throws at the base
And Ty was great help to this writer,
making his first trip to training
camp at green salad age, with stories
that made rainy days lot brighter.
One hopes the plaque or statue of
Cobb in the base ball hall of fame de-
picts him sliding into base. It seems
to me that in a long, vicious slide, Cobb
exemplifled his courage, spirit and at
titude toward the game more than in
any other part Of his play
Ruth is remembered as home run
hitter-although he was a great pitch
er before going to the outfield-but
Cobb as the man who most nearly
combined every attribute of base ball
greatness.
Several volumes could be written
about Ruth, but 5-foot shelf would
not encompass all of Cobbs deeds.
