 The kid played baseball on 2 sandloG with Q twenty-five cent ball or 0 homemade one Of tWme and covered with bicycle tape. Ills hero played major league baseball in Detroit with the Tigers and his name was " Cobb, the "oeorgia peach"

 The great cross the kid had to bear in those days was the fact that he couldn't make 1t publicly known that he was T'y Cobb. He tried 1t once and his older and stronger brother punched him on the nose and said: I'm Ty Cobb"--
 "Listen, I'm Ty Cobb, and you've gotta be somebody else"
 So the freckle-faced boy had to represent Hans Wagner, although in his head he never ceased to think of himself as Ty Cobb. He was that

loyal. Once Santa Claus brought him c baseball game for Christmas. It was Q big board, with cardboard discs bearing the names of the De- troit Tigers and the New York Giants. It was played by placing player" ct bat, and then spinning a big arrow to see what the player" did. The arrow mgiht fall on Q single, a double, Q pop fly, Q home run, a strike out etc.
 The kid tore the board up three days after Christmas when ny Cobb" went to bat three consecutive times without Q hit.
 The kid grew up, and " Cobb grew older. Other stars took Cobb's place in the headlines. The kid went to New York and got to know most of these stars. He met Babe Ruth and Rogers Hornsby and Lou Qeh- rig and Harry Heilmann and Herb Pennock and Carl Hubbell and all the other greats. He met Jack Dempsey and Bill Tilden and Gene Tunney end Tommy Hitchcock and Red Grange and Walter Hagen.
 What Is He Like?
 To all of these champions he eventually asked one question.
 Did you know Ty Cobb, and what was he like?" The answers were many and varied, and the kid, now 0 man, kept hoping that some day he could meet the man he believed to have no equal in sports.
 Last night he met Ty Cobb. Had cocktails with him, dinner, and then spent the evening talking to him about sports.
 As " Cobb talked, answering question after question, the man who had hero"worshipped him from childhood did not see the retired, middle-aged Ty Cobb with the thin- ming hair, e comfortable waistline, and double breasted suit. He saw the Georgia beach," in the gray of the Detroit Tigers, coming Into second on Q single, wide open, spikes high.

SPORTS WORLD
 HAS MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR
Football, Baseball, Boxing Have Had Best Seasons
 Since l93O
By LESLIE AVERY

United Press stan COFTespOhuenV
 New York, Nov. 24-tUP)-This being the season of turkey, football and cranberry sauce, sports fans might well pause today or :his day before Thanksgiving and reflect upon the many sports blessings or 1897.
 It has been one of the best years In history for sports In both the matter of business and achieve. ment. In virtually every branch or athletics there is something to be thankful for. and here are few:
 That college football has reached that "levelling of" stage where Fridays set-up has become satur. days winner In Q grand season that has filled the huge stadia with ca. pacity crowds more consistently than any time since the depression, The days when e team with q major schedule could go through the sea. son unbeaten and untied are virtu- ally at on end.
 That baseball had It's best year since 1880. Major league attendance estimates are up 6 million to 9,60O.. :. GOO over last year and within n half million of the oil time high Of lo,' 100000 seven years ago.
 That tennis got Q shot In the arm by winning the Davis Cup after 2 lapse of 10 years, and that Donald Bidge, who personally supervised the return of the hardware, did not turn professional. The U. 8. |, T. A. fathers are to be thanked for the pressure that kept the Oakland, Calf. redhead e simon-pure ifi the face of S60000 pro offers.
 That boxing has snapped out of the doldrums. Make obeisance to Mike Jacobs If you follow the pugi- lists, because "Uncle" Mike, risking his own cash, hos put oii the finest shows since Tex Rickard. Hundreds of the small fight clubs. closed through depression years, have rec opened and the gymnasiumS are crowded with new faces.
 That the yacht Ranger, owned and sailed by Mike" Vanderbilt, re- talned the America's Cup with four straight victories over the British fndeayour II, so discouraging T. O. M. sopwith that he may never chal- lenge again--aild we can forget the bloomin' "ould mug" for . while.
 That wrestling has . Btra1gle hold on itself, and that the death rattle will Do forthcoming soon. Man Mountain" Dean saw the handwrit- Ing on the wall and retired.
 That John (Mysterious) Montague is still mystery.
 T'hat Charley oehringer won the batting crown and was named the American Leagues most valuable player after dozen years Of the finest bail playing With Detroit.
 That Joe (Ducky Wucky) Med- wick won the National League bat. ting championship and voted most valuable player only three years after receiving c vegetable shower and being hooted from Q world Series game.
 That Jack Dempsey B doing SC well in the restaurant business, he is planning on opening Q Broadway branch, and also has Q concession for c 1889 Worlds Fair spot.
 That Dizzy Deans arm Is "aS good as ever."
 That Primo Carnera was defeated in his first comeback start, and fl not likely to be inflicted upon tia again.
 That President Roosevelt mailed an unemployment. card to Babe Ruth. Maybe the big fellow will get back into baseball--where he be- longs.
