Eagles Out 10 Slice
Rovers' Flag Lead
In Rubber Game
Split Even in Six Tits;
New Workers Present
Five Scoring Sturs

The rampaging New York Rovers,
currently owning comfortable lead
in the Eastern Amateur Hockey
League, invade Riverside Stadium
tonight and one of the largest
crowds of the season is expected to
view Washington's Eagles attempt
to narrow the gap of six points
which separates the clubs.
Parted from the Rovers by the
margin of three victories, the Eagles
also will be striving to fracture a
second-place deadlock which exists
between them and the Baltimore
Orioles, who face the Sea Gulls at
Atlantic City tonight.
Has Five Star Scorers.
How stiff is the Eagles assignment
is indicated by the league scoring
race. New York has five players
among the first 10 scorers, including
Albert Ceilings, the leader, and Muir
do Mckay, who recently succeeded
Washington's Hal Dewey in the run
ner-up spot. Other prolific scorers
with the Rovers are Frank Boucher,
jr., in fourth place; Mitchell Pechet,
in the No. 6 slot, and Len Loree,
No 8.
The Rovers, though. were dealt a
SO shellacking by the Orioles in
their last game and the Eagles also
are eager to throw the hooks into
them. Washington dropped an 81
decision to the Rovers in their last
appearance here and the Eagles also
would relish squaring matters there.
Break Even In Six Games.
Washington has battled the Row.
ers on even terms thus far in the
championship race, the teams split
ting half dozen games.
Victorious over the Orioles, 4-3. in
their last game, the Eagles feel they
have snapped their slump and are
confident of reducing New York's
lead.
Tomorrow night will present an
other opportunity for the Eagles to
gain on the Rovers, for Washington
will invade Atlantic City for feud
with the Sea Gulls while thu Rovers
idle.

None Knows for Certoin
He Is Bio Lacquer

On the list are four pretty good
second basemen: Cuccinello. near
ing the end of his string for Boston;
Doerr, a corking good fielder; Co.'S
carart, stylish fielder and a .280
hitter, still not thoroughly tested,
and Young of Pittsburgh, hustler,
but fragile.
You might argue that some OF
these clubs want to use Mccoy else
where than at second base-Bill
Terry, for instance, who would like
to plant him at third. Well, that's
still confession of weakness, all the
more damning because nobody can
know for sure yet whether Mccoy
Is true big Lacquer.
The cloud in the silver lining is
that these things go in cycles. The
last 10 years have been an era Of
great clouting first basemen, much
above the average in baseball his
tory. The National League is just
closing out cycle of fine pitchers.
The American League now is enjoy
ing cycle of good third basemen.
If we wait a little while longer, the
spinning wheel will turn up a good
crop of second basemen to follow the
lead Of young Joe Gordon.
Meanwhile, students, there's a leak
amtdships. Man the pumps!

As Not to Be Blamed
For Making Bid

Who are the second basemen Of
the 10 competing clubs? They are
Witek, Giants; Coscarart, Dodgers;
Cuccinello, Bees; nobody special,
Phillies; Frey, Reds; Young, Pirates;
Doerr, Red Sox-although the Red
Sox are said to want Mccoy as a
substitute for Shortstop Joe Cronin;
undecided, Indians; uncertain, Ma
tionals, and nobody special, Ath-
letics.
I grant you that in the case of
Connie Mack and the Athletics, Nc
Coy himself has been the hypo-
thetical second baseman for some
time. and you hardly can blame Mr.
Mack for riding hard in pursuit of
man on whom he was banking and
building. But what of the other
teams? They had no possible ex-
pectation of landing Mccoy before
the judge freed the slaves. Their
sudden wild rush for the youth,
when they heard the news, was an
open confession that they were
weakly equipped for the coming sea-
son.
And weak is the word. The list
of second basemen have just given
is a revelation of feebleness, feeble
ness which must extend to other
regions, too, for the Browns and the
Cubs were both hankering after Nc

" Cobb Ace Financial
Survivor Of Sport
BY GRANTLAND RICE,

DEL MAR, Calf, Jan. 26 (N.A.
NA)-Some learned and esteemed
philosopher once suggested that "all
that glitters is not gold" I thought
Of this in visiting Ty Cobb at his
home in Atherton and playing golf
with the Georgia Peach.
I thought OF the long parade OF
stars In sport who had passed over
the peak without q dime, who had
disappeared into the mists with
little or nothing left. For only
few have cashed in and retired on
the money they made-and saved.
The making was easy enough. The
saving was different.
The names I could give would
astonish you, but there is no point
in headlining poverty and often
desperation.
Among the fighters, Gene Tunney
and Jack Dempsey head the list of
those who are fixed comfortably.
They have had nothing to worry
about. No collections ever will have
to be made for them. But there are
few others in this game who ever
finish with enough cash left to carry
them along.
There are far more ballplayers to-
day who know how to handle them
selves financially than the old guard
ever knew. In addition to which
they get far more money than Joe
Jackson, Ed Walsh and other stars
ever drew. They won't have to take
up any collections for such men as
Bill Dickey, Lefty Grove, Joe Di
Maggie. And Babe Ruth has needed
no outside help.

Photo Shows Cobb More Than
Fair as Boserunner

Cobb knew "a years of hard
driving baseball and at least part
isolation. In many ways he was a
lone wolf.
Today at his grove-surrounded
home in Anterior, just outside of
San Francisco, one of the great
cities of the world, Ty hunts and
fishes and plays golf for his recrea-
ton at the age of 3d.
In his trophy room are the skins
Of grizzly and brown bear that he
has shot-the heads of moose, elk,
caribou, mountain goat and sheep.
There are strange fish he has caught
and golf trophies he has won. And
just outside you walk onto his big
patio with a decoration of orange
trees, all orange-laden.
The big thrill I got was in his pic
ture room-especially from the &C
ton pictures of Ty sliding into third
or home in a whirl of dust that the
vision Of no umpire ever could pene-
trate. The umpire just had to guess.
He left an Dixie duststorm in his
wake
L saw the picture of his slide to
third when he scratched the fore
arm of Home-Run Baker in the
famous feud game between the Ath-
letics and Tigers 81 years ago. The
snapshot shows that Ty was only
keeping to his own right of way,
which Baker had invaded. Yet Cobb
was booed and Missed and almost
mobbed for action in a paly in which
he even gave Baker foot or so the
better Of it, as the flying toe of the
Georgia Peach reached for the bag.
