Banks tied the mark of -four

Cubs to a 1874 victory over Pitts

10 others, including Babe Ruth
and Lou Gehrig.
Banks slammed one of Dick
Littlefleld'S pitches into Wave

of the season to launch a six

That leaves him only seven

one season by a shortstop, set In
1949 with the Red Sox.

HAS PRAISE FOR ALL
By BURTON HAWKINS

The man has mellowed. A
chunky. round-faced Ty Cobb
exuded charm at a Touchdown
Club luncheon yesterday. When
he spoke it was with an apollo
Igetic aif, with gracious words for
Walter johnson. Bucky Harris,
Hughey~ Jennings and present
players. He was nervous at the
outset, but captivated his audi
Ience with his natural manner.
This was Cobb, the most re-
sourceful, antagonistic. electrify-
Iing-and most hated-ball play
er in history, dealing chiefly in
compliments. There was one IN
the packed place whose memo
ries weren't erased by Tvs
praise.
He'd cut your heart out, -
Harris said later, with distinct
admiration for Tvs tactics.
IF I had my pick of all the
players I've seen. excluding
pitchers, I'd take Cobb" Clark
Griffith said. He'd beat the
opposition all by himself. He
disrupted defenses. distracted
pitchers and drove catchers
crazy. He could do more things
to whip you than any player I've
watched"
II Cobb stood alone as a play
err, he also walked alone as a
man, with few friends on his
own team and virtually none
among his opponents. In re-
cent years he has mended fences
to a remarkable degree, soft
pedaling the idea he was the
most tempestuous player of all
time. back-slapping the thin
ming ranks of those he once
shredded with his spikes.
When Ty chats about himself
now. it's with modesty, but the
record screams for attention. He
went to bat more times, stole
more bases, and made more
hits than any player in history
When he quit he left q 24-year
batting average Of .367. He led
the American League in bat
ting from 1907 through 1915,

Improved traffic flow is ex-
pected to result from the change
in direction OF travel on two of
Phoenix,S one-way streets. The city
council Internally agreed to a
recommendation TO reverse the
flow of traffic on Third and Fifth
Avenues effective June 6. The rec
concentrations for the change were
madein detailed study prepared
by the Division of Traffic Engi-
neering. An important factor in
the change is the tact that the
new traffic flew on Fifth Avenue
southbound and Third Avenue
northbound will result in better
traffic movements at ThomaS
Road. There is daily backlog of
traffic at Fifth Avenue and Thorn
as, during the evening rush,
caused by motorists attempting to
