Show I V , THE RICH COUNTY REAPER, RANDOLPH, UTAH J Gems of Thought iYITE HAVE been reading from something like a lately, dozen spring training camps, about the l&umber . of amazing rookies that have come along. This happens every spring. It has been going on for some 50 years. It is only natural that it should be this way, for the rookie is usually young, keen, ambitious and thinks only in terms of today. The veteran has to think in terms of next summer, as he nurses his waning arm and hone too certain I JO QUALITY will ever get a man more friends than a sincere admiration of the qualities of others.

What a coincidence, said Mrs. Newrich. Only this morning I saw him on the Number Five bus with his wife; they were going down to the beach. A dreadful silence followed, and for the rest of the meal Mrs. New-ric- h was acutely aware that she had dropped a brick. As soon as they were alone, her husband rounded on her.

It would be a wonderful thing for the game if they all could make good, but as one veteran manager told me lately All I can ask for is one, or maybe two. That would be a big average. So far the Dodgers and the Giants seem to have discovered the leading rookie phenoms. But if either team can start the new season with two rookies who are good enough to win a job away from some regular, they will be two lucky ball clubs. Now and then you hear, about another Cobb or another Ruth. Suppose we check back on these two famous names! Cobb reported to Augusta in the Sally league in 1904, where he batted .237 in 37 games. I was working in Atlanta that yeas and I heard no great uproar about Cobb being another Wagner. Tys best press agent was Ty. Ty joined the Tigers in 1905 where he batted .240 in 4! games that season and there was no overwhelming chorus about coming greatness. He jumped to .320 in 1906 and from then on it was something else agajn .377 in 1909, .385 in 1910, .420 in 1911 and. .410 in 1912. eOSCDCE) ecu?
