Gene Sarazen had his best years
from 20 to 81, so that his average
stood at 26.
"We've had 20-year-old winners In
Ouimet and Sarazen," Corcoran
said, "and others in their high
thirties. Sarazen also tied for the
title at 38. Vardon was close to so
when he won his last start. But
you'll find that % is close to peak
FORM"
For Baseball
my two best years." Cobb said,
"were 1911 and 1912, when I was
rs and q years old"
The records proved this. In 1911
Cobb batted .42O, scored I47 runs
and stole SO bases. In 1912 Cobb
batted 40 and stole 81 bases. In
1915 Cobb stole So bases, which is
more than the entire cast of two ball
clubs will steal today.
when I was around g." Ty said,
81 had the experience that comes
from eight years of play-I started
at band l also had the spring of
youth. At that age the eyes and
legs are still young. The refexes
work perfectly. As l got a few
years older I noticed that while I
could run about as fast as ever, I
couldn't start as fast. And the start
is a big part of speed"
In those two big years Cobb piled
up AIS hits. And starting speed
was big factor in this total.
There have been a lot of ball
players" Ty added, "who got bet
ter as they grew older. But the av-
erage winning year is still around
26. Walter Johnson had many great
years. But his best season was IN
1913 when, as I dirnly recall it, Wal
ter won So games and had an earned
run average of LOG. Think of thatl
And he won those So games with a
weak-hitting club that rarely got him
many runs In 1913 Johnson was
just rs years old. I had to hit
against him then and / know what
he had. No one before or since has
ever had such terrific speed. You
knew fast bah was coming, but
that didn't help lot. It was too
fast"
So there you have Ty Cobb and
Walter Johnson with the age of 26,
pointing to their twin peaks.
Bob Feller, now q, should be a
40 game winner at 26, if the same
average holds up.
Cobb is now moving on to his fifty
fifth birthday. The Georgia Peach

If you do not have a special
board for pressing sleeves, here is
convenient substitute: Roll up
a large magazine, fasten it with
rubber bands and tuck it into the
sleeve.
To remove dandelion stains
from washable materials, rub lard
well into the spots, roll the materi-
al and let it stand half an hour or
so, then wash with mild soap and
warm water. Rinse well and repeat
if the stains remain.
Never allow cold water to run
into an aluminium pan while it is
hot. If done repeatedly, this rap
i'd contraction of metal will cause
pan to warp.
To clean stained brass ash trays,
cover them with paste made of
salt and vinegar. Let stand half
an hour and then rub well with a
cloth and wash the trays III hot
water and soapsuds. Wipe dry
with a clean soft cloth.
Glass spoons are better for medi-
cines than metal ones, but a small
medicine glass is best, Of course.
They can be purchased for very
few cents and are more accurate
for measuring than teaspoons
which vary In size.

Jim Corbett was 26 when he stopped
John L. Sullivan, then fat and IS.
Gene Tunney was % when he won
from Dempsey.
among Fighters
Dempsey was at his best the year
he beat Willard. Tunney came along
more slowly. Tunney retired be-
fore he came to what he might have
been.
Jess Willard, a freak, was well
over 80 when he whipped Jack John
son. Fitz was around 35 when he
stopped Jim Corbett.
But think you'll find the average
age of fighting greatness close to 26
or q years. As Ty Cobb puts it
this is the meeting point of ex-
perience and youth. The physical
qualities have been retained and
have also received an added hard
ness. There is more stamina to
work with, and just as much speed.
As I recall it, Bill Tilden was 26
when he won his first national tennis
championship at Forest Hills and
mopped up at Wimbledon. Til
den can still play every stroke
known to the game. But the legs
and the eyes are years away from
their prime.
Eyes Important
"And don't forget" Bill said some
time ago, "the eyes can't be over
looked. They are more important
than most camp followers under
stand"
There have been exceptions, but
If You look back you'll find that 26
or q has been the golden year of
competition, especially where speed
and stamina count.
Willie Hoppe, beyond so, is still a
marvel, but Willie doesn't have to
use his legs where speed is needed
and that's important.
Pop Geers was still a great driver
at the age of 70, but Pop was sitting
In a sulky.
Marathon runners are better be-
y0nd 80, where stamina is far more
important than speed.
But when you have to start quickly
and get there IN hurry, when you
must look with clear and quick vi
sion, when arm and leg are vital
factors, the majority stand at the
top of the hill around the ages
named. From that point on they are
at least looking into the valley of
coming Oblivion that waits on be-
yond.
