EXHIBITIONS TELL LITTLE

The Tigers are out there wing
ing. All is quiet on the western
front, with the exception of Chi
cago. II you wish to hear Jimmy
Dykes singing the blues, throw
open the doors and windows.
Most of the experts picked
Jimmy as high as second-none
lower than fourth. Detroit was
picked as low as eighth-many
gave them seventh. Revision
time is close at hand. Let's get
behind the Tigers and see what's
holding them up.
Permit me to offer some rea-
son, born of a little logic and a
casual interest in the workings
of the ball players mind. We
have always held that spring
exhibition games tell nothing,
except that il may give the
manager a line on his young
pitching.
Del did get that line, DESPITE
the ignominious defeats. What
counts most in the spring is the
fashioning of the teams spirit
and morale. Is il a club that's
one for all, and all for one. or
is il going the other way? The
manager better grab it. at the
right minute.
These Tigers all had major
league experience, except Hitch
cock. They were young, ambi-
tious. and plenty over-anxious.
At Cincinnati. on the eve of the
opener, one veteran said:
THE first month of this sea-
son, q lot of people are going
to change their minds about this
ball club. Baker isn't going to
be let down this club Is now
ready to win"
He was speaking the thoughts
of his teammates. He knew they
were over the hill had settled
down. So II has been another
tribute to Del Bakers patience.
He waited. and the adverse pub
Lefty did the rest.

the indirect cause OF what TO
me has always been the greatest
display of sheer nerve and cour,
age ever shown in any mans
ball yard.
The Tigers were playing In
Boston and we followed the In
dams to New York. When the
news was flashed to Boston that
Chapman had died, there was
genuine sorrow in the Tiger
camp. Phone calls came to Cobb
from baseball writers from all
over the country for a story.
They were aware of the private
feud that Cobb was having with
Mays.
One quoted Cobb as saying
mays ought to be run out of
baseball" The Peach always de-
MED this vigorously. Gotham

days we went into the Polo
Grounds. Yankee Stadium was

to come to the Polo Grounds
that day and boo Cobb out Of
New oYrk. The huge stadium
was packed. $1,000, all there for
one purpose.
MAKES GRAND ENTRANCE
Tyrus did not take batting
practice that day. He waited in
the clubhouse until game time.
He wanted everyone in their
seats before he made his grand
entrance.
Five minutes prior to starting
time Cobb emerged through the
center field gate and, in a firm,
measured step. to the boos of a
packed Polo Grounds, marched
right over second base; the
pitching rubber, home plate and
right up to the press section.

An impressive one-man parade.
He started from one end of
the press box and didn't miss
anybody. The crowd knew what
was going on. Boos increased in
volume. We heard Cobb shout,
over the din, TO one writer in
particular:
Before this game Is over. I'll
have this crowd cheering me rs

Is more powerful than the type

broke into the mightiest cheer

beamed with happiness, for it
was another triumph. He proved
what he has always said, that
the bat can answer all criti-
cisms, all boos.
We never saw Tyrus in such
rare humor as that evening. and
he often spoke of il as one of
the brightest days Of his base
ball life. One can't toss ii off
that easily, for il took the best
that was in his competitive
heart. He drew on some hidden
reserve of determination. of iron

chips were down, and they were

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Property owners would pay from
10 cents per 500 upward for Gov
ernment insurance against damage
from enemy attack under tentative
rates proposed by Secretary of Com
merce Jones.
The rates were contained in q
letter Secretary Jones sent Sena-
tor Msloney, Democrat, of Connecti-
cut and made public by the latter
as Congress approved and sent to
the President the bill authorizing up
to $1,000 900 900 for a war damage
insurance program.
The measure originally passed the
Senate providing for free insurance
up to $4,000. but this was finally
changed in the House and in con-
ference to require premium pay
ments.
Mr.. Jones, as head of the War
Damage Corp, said our thought"
as to appropriate rates Is as follows:
Ten to IS cents per 500 cover
age for farms, dwellings and COM
mercial properties up to $4,000;

age on such risks between $4,000
