Tyrus Raymond Cobb, variously known as "the Peerless One" and "the Georgia Peach," Is not yet in the bench manager class, despite his thirty-seve- n years and the thinning hairs on his head. Frequent predictions, first heard when he succeeded Hughle Jennings as manager of the Detroit Tigers two years ago, that he was through aa a player, have failed of fulfillment It Is a different Cobb who guides the destinies of the 1923 Tigers from the player who flashed along the major league horizon In 1905, gaining In bril-liancy and renown until In 1911 ba be-came a .420 batter. The speed that gave Cobb a new major league record for stolen bases In 1915, with a total of 98, la waning, but In Its place has come craftiness, and because be had so much speed to lose, he still Is a great outfielder, still a dangerous man on the paths. At bat, he Is the same "Peach." His eye seems as clear as In his earlier days when be was the bugbear of all pitchers In the league. He continues to meet the ball squarely and his fac-ulty of driving the ball out of reach of the fielders seems greater, If any-thing, this year than ever. From the start of this season he has had the Tigers among the league leaders. Close followers of the game have seen In Detroit the principal men-ace to the New Tork Yankees In this season's race. Cobb's heavy artillery is conceded to be the equal of the New York club's "murderers' row," and bis pitching staff, considered the prin-cipal weakness of the club, has shown surprisingly well during the first aonth, the veteran Dauss especially appearing near the peak of hla form. Some critics see Indications that Cobb may direct bis club from the bench soon, In the acquisition of two slugging recruits. Fotherglll and Man-ush- , both of whom have been used effectively this year, but Cobb smiles and continues to take his stand in cen-ter field. 3 tt Mild Remark by Mercer Win Mercer, one of the mild-est mannered of pitchers, has been dead for a good many years, but one mild remark got him benched. Win was pitching for Wash- - lngton, and he was not only wild, but was being hit bard. He thought Cantlllon was mlss- - lng a few strikes on him and he complained two or three times. Finally he turned around and said: "Joe, you're In the wrong place to see "em." I "Now, Win, you've been In the wrong place all afternoon. You j belong under the showers." And Win went. Diamond Squibs Eddie Roush Is enjoying a big year at Cincy. e Hans Wagner ended his professional baseball career with forty-thre- e years of age. e e Manager Ty Cobb says a baseball team needs Inspiration to win. And a few pitchers. e In the first month of the Interna-tional season there were 30 games post-poned, or an average of one a day. e The "most valuable player to his team" In the Southern league will next fall be presented with an automobile. Horace (Pug) Allen, outfielder, has been shifted from Dallas to Beaumont the latter club claiming him on waiv-ers. w w m "Baby Doll" Jacobson, of the Browns, Is gaining on the batting leaders and should be among the be-fore long. e George (Micky) O'Nell, catcher for the Boston Nationals, has announced his retirement from baseball to go Into the drug business. e As part payment for first baseman Ace Elliott, the Chicago Cubs sent Art Weis, outfielder to the Wichita Falls Texus league club. The Minneapolis club has put its only southpaw, Enrl Tingling, on the suspended list. Ylngllng has been un-able to get in shape. "The best utility man ever seen In the South Dukota league" Is the way on admirer writes of Wesley (Beery) Clemons of the Aberdeen team. Nell Blnlsdell, the young college pitcher who came all the way from Honolulu to get a trial with the Chi-cago White Sox, Is on his way buck. Otis Miller, Toronto's recruit Infleld-e- r from the Mint league, who got off to a bud start this spring, Is now in high favor with Toronto critics and fans. The first half of the Florida State league season closed with Orlando n rather easy winner ami St. Petersburg, the champions of last year, down In the ruck. Having obtained Wlckey McAvoy from the Orioles, the Rochester club has sent Catcher Walter MeQuInn to its Scrnnton farm, along with Henzes, an lnfielder. Connie Mack recently sent Friend Ira Thomas at Slireveport a rookie pitcher, Elbert Schilling. So far he has been of great help to the wallow-ing Slireveport team. Johnny Blsh, for several years pitcher with Worcester, released to bring the club within the player limit, has been signed by Montreal of the Eastern Canada league. Playing his old position of first base seems to have helped Hooka Cotter of the M'lchlta Falls team In his hitting, for he has been pounding the ball hard since he shifted from the outfield. Among collegians recently signed by the Boston Americans Is Eddie McQuil-lan, a pitcher from Drexel Institute of Philadelphia. If he lives up to the family name he will be a big league star.

Football Player Seldom Makes Good at Baseball The football player who "doubles" at baseball and heroines a great base-ba- ll player Is rare. For Instance, Jlatliewson was a star football player at Bucknell, Dave Kultz, one of the great stars in baseball of a genera-tion ago, was an at font-ball.- " I'aul Castner, pitching and g star at Notre Dame, whom the majors are after, came near reach-ing the heights. For the most part, however, star baseball play-ers coming from the collepes are not worked very much In football. Many athletic dlrectora. If they have a star baseball player, keep him from the more dangerous game of football, sav-ing him for the diamond. For Instance, when at MIchlgnn, George SIsler had everything to make him a great football player. Tost saw a gridiron gem In SIsler, but saw, too, that baseball was the place where he would win fame for Mich-igan.

The correct follow-throug- is the end of the correct stroke. James Braid, one of the greatest players In the his-tory of te game, says that It gives rnore distance anil, of course, accu-racy. And In golf accuracy Is the big Idea. Distance, attuelied to ac-curacy, la unbeatable. |
