(NANA WNU Service.) SAN FRANCISCO. You can't run Ty Cobb without thinking of baseball. When I run into Ty, the Georgia Ghost, I turn the pages back 36 years to 1904 around At-lanta and Royston, Ga., where I first ran across the phenomenal stripling who later on was to set his game on fire. The thought then was, "If winter comes, can Cobb be far behind?" For Cobb was the bluebird harbinger of spring. It was at that time that Cobb kept writing me letters, sign-ing Smith, Jones, Brown and Robi-nsonall telling me what a great play-er young Tyrus Raymond Cobb was. I fell for the gag, not knowing that Cobb was writing them and mailing them to me from every tank town stop. Anyway, Ty helped to make me quite a prophet when I advised keeping an eye on him. The Ty Cobb of 1940 lives Just outside San Francisco, and his two favorite sports are hunting and golf. At the age of 54 his hair is thinner TYRUS RAYMOND COBB and part of the old streamlined body has packed on some weight but not too much. An Amazing Record In my opinion, Ty Cobb ran up one of the great records of sport-somet- hing close to an all-tim- e rec-ordmaybe the e top. For a period of 13 consecutive years he led the American league in batting exactly 12 times. And all the hitlers he had to beat out were Napoleon Lajoie, Shoeless Joe Jackson, Tris Speaker, Eddie Collins, Nig Clarke, Sam Crawford, Bobby Veach and a flock of others who were shooting from .350 to .400. One year Joe Jackson hit .410 and Cobb still beat him out, with a far deader ball than they have had for the last 12 or 15 years. Here is a record 12 batting cham-pionships out of 13 consecutive ma-jor league play. That will never be approached again. Who was Cobb batting against? Only Walter Johnson, Big Ed Walsh. Nick Altrock, Addie Joss, Chief Ben-der, Colby Jack Coombs, Smoky Joe Wood. Doo White, Cy Young, Eddie Plank, Rube Waddell most of the great pitchers of all time. The Soft Spot I asked Ty what he thought the difference was between the and the present crop. "Stamina," Ty said. "I mean legs and arms. I've lived on my legs most of my life. As yon may re-member In 24 big league years I never spared my legs. I've played many a game with almost no skin on either thigh. "I believed then and I believe now in toughening up your system not sparing It. Between seasons I hunted all winter, eight ,or ten hours a day. That's what Bill Dickey has (joneand you know where Bill Dickey stands in baseball. "In my opinion, a real pitcher should be good for at least 45 ball no"m"'oa .mnvhs 50. if he is really needed. I mean men like Walsh, Cy Young. Alexander, Matty, Chesbro, Joe Wood the top guys. They could take it and they loved It Not this modern crowd. At least, most of them. They haven't the stamina needed to go on when there Grover is no one to take Alexander their place. "I thought Dizzy Dean was going to be a throwback to the old days nntil Dis hurt bis arm. He always wanted to pitch. To be In there. But there are not many left like that. They'd rather be resting up. Not Enough Leg Work "The kids today rarely use their legs. They ride in place of walking. I always had to walk. Maybe five miles maybe 20 miles. The old-tim- e pitchers had to work in 50 or 60 games. Maybe more. I've seen them come out long before the ball game was scheduled to start in or-der to get the kinks out of tired arms, working out slowly for over 30 minutes. But not today. Most of these kids today can't take it They have come up the easy way. They have to be pampered.

"k In New York Village ic True Funny Scenes . Silence Preferred ' Uy Virginia Vah" (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) DURING the week or so Lamarr spent in New York with her husband she proved conclusively that the largest city in the country is a small village at heart. She visited a newspaper of-fice and appeared at night clubs, and people stared and stared and even were guilty of pointing and these were people, mind you, who patronize night clubs so often that visiting movie stars are Just people to them. But Iledy Lamarr Markey was so beautiful that she bowled them over. Of course, she didn't exactly try to hide her light under a bushel. Night clubs were warned In advance when to expect her. And she even went so far as to wear a diamond on her forehead. Maybe she was rehearsing for the role of Cleopatra. Well, It was good publicity; every-body's all agog to see "I Take This Woman," the next picture In which she will be seen. She wore glamour-gir- l clothes a linky black evening gown with a peg-to- p skirt, embroidered in blue and beige paillettes, another eve-ning gown with a long-sleeve- high-necke- d basque of black satin, the skirt of black satin to the hips, cream colored the rest of the way. If you think some of those hilari-ously funny scenes In "The House-keeper's Daughter," which stars Joan Bennett in the title role, are a bit d, rest assured that they're not Even the battle with 1; u-i-h f ,. " 1 1 " : ; '' . 'lu ' ' i JOAN BENNETT fireworks for ammunition would be Just run of the mill amusement for old-tim- e newspaper men like those portrayed so convincingly by Adolphe Menjou and William Gar-ga- n as anyone who has known such newspaper men will tell you. The picture is so good that it should be on your "must" list; it's so good that memories of it haunted your reporter along about the time that "Gone With the Wind" had been running for a good two hours and still had plenty of time to go. And, speaking of "Gone With the Wind," if you're old enough to have seen D. W. Griffith's "Birth of a Nation" you're going to feel right at home when yon see this latest picturizatlon of Civil war scenes. Of course, D. W. couldn't use sound. 1 wished modern producers couldn't when that soldier's leg was cut off without an anesthetio being used. But the story of Scarlett O'llara makes a great picture; don't miss it! As a rule the only woman In-volved in the "Sky Blazers" broad-casts is the sound effects girl, Ora Nicolls. While the husky males stand before the mike, Ora, who's a little thing, fires guns, makes a noise like a hefty male sloshing through jungle swamps, and shat-ters the air with simulated airplane effects. But being the sound effects man is a grand job for a woman, and she loves it. She has her trou-bles, though; trying desperately to please the director in the matter of firing a gun, she demanded, "How many shots is a fusillade'?" m One of the most Inspiring sights in radio results when you watch Alec Templeton broadcast for "Alec Tern pic ton Time." Not merely be-cause he plays so beautifully, but because he is so sure of himself. The spirit of fun which faintly curves his lips seems to move all the other performers, lifting the en-tire program. You realize that he is blind only when he Is Introduced; the other performers smile broadly, but Temjjleton doesn't; In his world, a smile means nothing, because it can't be seen. Another good picture is Metro's "The Shop Around the Corner," with Margaret Sullavan and James Stew-art making such a good comedy team that the rather slim story is vastly entertaining.
