Chase, Cobb SporkIed
In First TrioIs.

That afternoon he made at least
three plays around first that left
your scalp sizzling. They were
plays no one but a great artist could
make. With runner on second
some one laid a bunt along the
firstbase foul line The kid was
on it like bounding kangaroo in
time to nail the runner at third.
1t took less than his first ball game
to know that another star was on
his way to the headlines.
The rockies name was Hal Chase
There was the day back in Au-
gusta around the same period when
an l8-year-old STRIPPING came along.
First time up he laid down a bunt,
beat 1t out stole second and then
third. He finished out the day with
a double, triple and home run. Not
bad afternoon for an 18-year-old
kid. His name was Tyrus Ray
mond Cobb of Royston, Ga.
d. Later on he only made over 1000
base hits and stole close to 1000
bases before he took off the spikes
after "a years.

Griffith's Top Thrill
At Atlonto Comp.

Griff's top training camp thrill
arrived in Atlanta around 1904
Griff was waiting that morning to
meet a young first baseman Just
heading in from California. He had
no other first baseman on his Yam
kee roster, so the rookie had to be
good.
Suppose he's a flop, what'l you
do?" l asked the Old Fox.
"A flop?" said Griff. Hes going
to be the greatest first baseman
that ever lived. You wait and see"
The kid arrived around noon or
a trifle later. He was well built,
on the lean side, with a quick,
friendly smile. The personality part
was all there
How many days before you'll be
ready to start?" Griffith asked him.
Il thought you played a game to-
day" the rookie said.
1--WE do" Griff told him.
That's when I'd like to start"
his young first baseman countered.
I'm always in shape"

Top Sturs of Baseball
Great From Sturt
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
Special Correspondent OF The Star.


TAMPA, Fla, March % (NA.
NA).-A session with Clark Grit
fifth, the Old Fox of Washington,
carries you back many a day and
many a year. Outside of Connie
Mack, Griff Can take you deeper
into the thrills of the past than any
one else in baseball.
My own first training camp thrill
came in 1898 in Nashville. A tall,
broad-shouldered, awkward looking
party came into the locker room
wearing a pale blue suit with brass
buttons. A short while later against
Vanderbilt he showed us a buZzing
medley of speed and curves that
no one ever had seen before. And
not so many have seen it since.
He was over 6 feet 2, he weighed
200 pounds, and he was lanky in
looks. In addition to blazing speed
he had the fastest breaking curve
ball I've ever seen.
His name was George Edward
(Rube) Waddell.
Even when he was fading out
with tuberculosis he still had enough
left to strike out 16 of Connie
Macks Athletics.

Speaker, Jackson Greet
On Dixie Fields.

There were training camp days
IN the old Southern League, also.
I recall two outfielders who caught
and held the eye They were great
ball players the first time you saw
them. Looking back a long, long
way, this was around 1907 as 1
recall time, now shrouded in mists.
One played for Little Rock, the
other for New Orleans. The first
was the best looking outhelder I'd
ever seen in action. And one of
the best hitters. His name was
iris Speaker. The other was the
best looking actor with a bat around
the plate any one ever had seen.
His name was Shoeless Joe jackson.
They gave you something "to re-
member them by" even from their
rookie days.
And there was the spring train
ing season 81 years ago, back in
1919, when the Boston Red Sox
decided to make a regular outfielder
out of their crack left-handed pitch
er. They had an idea he might turn
out to be first-clasS slugger.
In one of the March games here
In Florida he mauled one that car
ried over 500 feet into a pine thicket
beyond the field. l was on that
trip, and was looking for fellow

Our existing transportation

Those differences are now being
ironed out-and Congress can do
the nation no greater service than
to give the bill early approval.

night clubs all over the country are
clamoring for Del Courtney appear
ance.
Del Courtney believes that despite
trends and fads, romantic style of
music will always appeal to the ma jori-
ty Of dancers. He adds that nine out
of ten dancers still want to hear the
melody of a tune. Lest he be misinter.
prcted, let us explain here that Del and
his boys can "send" just as solid as
the best of them.
Dance fans throughout the nation
received real jolt when Del Court.
ney, pictured as a strictly sweet leader,
came cut of the west to send them
kirk;ls with interludes of red hot live.
De. Courtney does more then wave
graceful baton in front of his swell
band la addition to doing some stunts
on the piano and trumpet, Del uses his
Irish tenor voice to good advantage
in many vocals. He also has an abund.
ancc OF tricks and representations that
keep the dancers packed around the
baud stand.
CEDAR POINTS luck did not desert
them after being fortunate enough to
get Del Courtney this season. It so
happens this favorite "son of the old
sod" will be playing in the resorts
ballroom on Sunday, July 81. . when
every loyal son and daughter of Erin
will be gathered at Cedar Point to
celebrate All-Ohio Irish Day. BY train,
, by boat, by bus, by motor, there will
be mighty migration to Cedar Point,
of the Irish from all over the state.

Bill Passed Over OPPOSITION
BY Congressman Froness P. Bolton

Each one had a gay quip-a bright
story. Senator McNary spoke of his
not having met Mr.. Willkie until
that day. That was indeed a COM
pliment, for it is proof conclusive
that lie has never been a lobbyist.
Senator Taft came to the micro
phone with his big smile and ex-
pressed himself so happy to be there
and to be so at ease because this
was the first time in long time that
he was free to speak without caring
whether it was flop or not" He
added he was certain I'VE can win
with such a team to lead u.s.
Some Of the others introduced
were Miss Marion Martin, in charge
of the Women's Division of the Ma
tional Committee: Mrs. Worthing-
ton Scranton, national committee
woman from Pennsylvania: Mrs.
Grace B. Reynolds, national COM
mitteewoman from Indiana, and
Mrs. Edith Rogers, Dean of the Re-
publican women members of the
House.

Wyoming. who arranged the affair.
was forced to take bow, as were
Congressman Charles Halleck of In
diana and Bruce Barton of New
York, who were prominent in the
Willkie campaign for the nomina-
ton. Mr.. Barton sent a chuckle
through the crowd when he quoted
from letter written by labor
leader offering the slogan:
IF you want to wear clothes
that are silky.
Just get out and cast votes for
our Willkie."
