Gobb, Speaker, Sisler, Ruth and

Without a doubt . S o
Cobb has drawn
more fans through the turnstiles than
any player that ever lived. Once it
was said that for every 5,000 persons
who turn out to see the Tigers per
form at least 25 per cent—or 1,250—
go solely to see Cobb.
Cobb's real value to the Detroit
club indtvidually, and to the Ameri
can League as a whole, can not be es
timated with any degree of real ac
curacy. But there isn’'t much doubt
that in the years he has been the
raseball satellite he has drawn over
1,000,000 fans to the 1,800 games in
which he has figured.
o+ + +
The reigning sensation of baseball
of 1918 is “Babe” Ruth, whose home
run clouting has been amazing. Ever
“since the Bostonian swatsmith began
hammering the ball outside the ball
lots, throngs, earlier indifferent to
diamond activities of 1918, poured inlol
the parks where Ruth was scheduled |
to perform. Oh, yes, they went to see'
a ball game, of course, but what theyl
really went to see www the Red Sox
clubber “busting” the ball. l
Ranking second only to Cobb as a
drawing card through these later
years of baseball has been Tris
Speaker, the “outfield incomparable.”
A mighty batter is Tris, a sterling
base runner. Those were qualities
that have helped to make Speaker
world famous. But the one thing in
which Speaker excelled all others was
in outfield play.
It was Speaker who revolutionized
outfield play. Before his day the gar- l
deners always played far back, figur
ing it was easier to race in for a ball
than to run_backward after one.
Speaker quickly decided that outfield
ers played too far back, and that by
playing in close to second he could
kill off the “Texas Leaguer” hits. To
Tris stationed himself back of second,
while everyone pronounced him fool
hardy. They figured Tris couldn’t get |
back in time for the long drives. f
But Tris has been doing it for years
—and in a way that is sensational.
His fielding is uncanny: his throwing
is bulletlike in its speed. And so Tris
is 'a drawing card.
d o &
Who is the greatest drawing card
among the twirlers? Right you are
—it’s Walter Johnson! Whenever he:
is billed to pitch, a few extra lhon-‘
sand fans usually can be counted;
upon. They want to see the "Spevd“
King"” in action. It has been that way
ever since the Idaho phenom flashed
into major league view a dozen yeurs}
or so ago. It is no exaggeration—
and no reflection on the other players
—to say that Johnson probably has
drawn more persons through the
turnstiles than the whole Washington
team. 1
Then there's Sisler—another fan
dom lure. Baseball enthusiasts around
the American I.eague circuit aren’t
awfully keen these days to see the
Rrowns in action-—but they do want
to see the “Sizzler” perform, and
glacly do they pay full admission
price for the privilege.
Cobb, Speaker, Ruth, Sisler and
Johnson—there's the quintet of draw
ing cards of the American ILeague;
players worth far more than their
weight in gold as magnets; men
whose individual brilliancy daily at
tracts to the parks thousands upon
thousands who neyer would go to the
game if they weren't in the line-up.
3+ *
There are many great players in
. the National League—but not one
who is in the class of those five as
a real attraction. Undoubtedly
George Burns is the greatest outfield
er in the National, and one of the
most remarkable baseball ever has
known. He’s a wonder in every de
partment of play. But great as is
Burns, he is not a real drawing card.
His modesty makes him lack the pic
tunesqueness of Cobb, the gpectacular
display of Speaker. Burns, in a word,
works so smoothly, so mechanically,
that he is called colorless.
The (Giants, as a team, have color—
loads of it. And, as a team, that very
color has made them baseball’s great
est drawing card for many years. But
when it comes to individuals they
haven't a real magnet since Benny
Kauff, a really great drawing card,
went to war.
Rogers Hornsby, of the Cards, is a
brilliant, dashirg player and is a real
attraction, but as a lure for fans he
is far from the Cobb-Speaker class.
Maranville was spectacular—but he

today.
d o
Mrs. John Milam and Miss Jean
Barron, the two women stars, will

DAY DREAM.
A cake of ice
Is mighty nice 1
To sit upon today.

Lighting a cigarette on a hot day
does not appreciably increase one's
{ heat. On the contrary, a guy gets
{ hot when somebody goes south with
I his matches.
| SPEAKING OF HEAT. |
I met a man today who wiped his
moist and fevered brow.
“It's an outrage,” he remarked; “it’s
i a shame, | vow!
| All day I've tried but can not buy a
ton of coal, nohow!”
In spite of the temperature, no
body is getting het up over baseball.
That is, mb;dv but the club owners
are getting het up over baseball, and
when club owners get het up there is
always plenty of ice water in the im
mediate vicinity.
{ “Keep Off the Links if You're a
Northpaw.” Thus speaks a headline,
awelling on the fact that the Midlo
thian Country Club is about to put
on a tournament for southpaw golfers.
1f a southpaw golfer is anything like
a southpaw pitcher, Keep Off the
Links!
A southpaw golfer is not a nut be
cause he is a southpaw
I 4:30 P. M.
The boy stood on the burning deck,
A smile upon his face.
“It is just as cool right here, by heck,
As any other place!”
War and the exigencies appertain
ing thereunto may have wrought
havoc with various ball clubs, but the
Athletics are running true to form.
Club owners, managers, athletes,
etc., seem to be in doubt as to the at
titude of Secretary Baker on a world
series. Possibly they could find out if
they asked him.
l It may be that the magnates can
get by with a world series after Sep
tember 2 on the theory that a world
series is not baseball.
! Those who are shaping the desti
nies of major league baseball are al

lras gone. And so have all the others
—Mathewson, Wagner, Brown, Evers
' and others of their kind—whose ap
pearance as combatants always meant
huger crowds wherever they per
formed.
| And so in baseball teday there are
left only five real drawing cards—and
' Ban Johnson has them all.

Gets Three-Base Hit
On Fly to Infield
A three-base hit on a ball that falls
within ten feet of the plate is not very
common, but here is one from a recent
game in the International League,
which should be put in the iittle red
book. Baltimore was playing at To
ronto. The Orioles were at the bat
and there were two out, when Herche
passed the next two. Griffin, the Bal
timore outfielder, then hit one a mile
high, which looked as if it was going
to come down back of first base. On
slow started to field it, but a high
wind carried the ball back toward the
plate. Herche, Lear and Joe Wagner
joined Onslow in the mad rush for the
falling sphere and they allowed it to
come to rest without any of them
touching it. Then, instead of flelding
it, the four of them stood around in
excited conclave, arguing as to who
should have fielded it and telling one
another just how rotten they were.
While this conversation was going on,
Catcher Fischer, who had beengn a
trance behind the plate, came out of
it long enough to pick up the pill and
throw it to third, but too late to catch
the batter. Two runs were in and the
batter got credit for a three-base hit
on a high fily that any one of six play
ers could rave handled easily. Fortu
rately such plays are not very com
mon in superior company. At that
this one was not so bad as the aw
ful boner pulled by Lefty George the
other day. He was pitching a game,
whieh his side had won, 3 to 2, up to
the ninth inning. In the last round,
there were two out and runners on
gecond and third, when the next bhat
ter hit a bounder right to the box.
Lefty fielded it cleanly and, by throw

man out and the game over. But he
threw home instead, probably having
forgotten that there were two out.
The catcher was not looking for such
a maneuver, did not stop the ball and
two runs scored, losing the game for
Lefty. Baseball does not require a
whole lot of brains, but an entire ab

Billy Miske Is the Only Active
Heavyweight Who Could Worry
Western Marvel.
\ c——
IM JEFFRIES had to quit the ring
J back in 1905 because he had con
quered all of the men who had
a chance to beat him-—some of them
twice—and now Jack Dempuey is just
about in the same fix.
There is one active fighter who has
the smallest of chances against the
young fellow—Billy Miske. The lat
ter is a good, rugged, heady battler,
and undoubtedly can make it hot for
Jack, but with this lone exception,
the heavyweight field is entirely de
void of men who shape up anywhere
near Dempsey's class. Willard, of
course, 1¢ a formidable rival of the
Western sensation, but Jess doesn't
care to risk his neck against the
voung chap.
Miske, replying to the fans whe
declarced he was afraid to try con
clusions with the Westerner, said he
is willing to fight him at any time an#
any place. Miske probably is sin
cere in this statement, for he is &
fearless ringman, but if they meet
in a long bout, Dempsey should win.
They fought ten rounds some time ago
in St. Paul, Jack earning the verdict
of the majority of the sport writers
present, but it was only by a slight
margin.
Both Miske and Dempsey have
fought in Atlanta this year, and they
made a fine impression upon the fans
here. Neither of them cares a whoop
for the ability of his opponent, his
sole thought being to eliminate the
man standing before them. A scrap
of twenty rounds between thig coupls
would certainly be a real one, and
would draw an Immense throng
wherever staged.
~_Some experts are of the opinion
that Dempsey is so good that not
even the mighty Jess could withstand
' his savage attacks for twenty rounds,
‘while the more enthusiastic admirers
of the young Westerner think he
could pound the champion into obli
vion in the short space of ten rounds.
o o o+
A Willard-Dempsey fight would be
great. Some people frown upon prize
fighting at this time, but what harm
would a battle between these men do
if the Red Cross draws down a large
percentage of the gate receipts?

balls he hears about. And at odd
times he purchases from his friends
or maybe from faithless caddies all
kinds of balls, mostly of the small,
heavier wvariety, because nowadays
more of them are used and lost than
any other kind.
In which the duffer is all wrong.
Years of struggle and yards of con
versation with professionals and
crack amateurs have convinced me
‘that women, light hitters and inac
icurate golfers of both sexes and all
sizes ' and horsepowers should use
large, light projectiles. The small,
heavy bal!l is not for them and its
use will cause more misery than joy.
:o o o
The idea is this:
The small, heavy ball—like the
Spalding 40, or the Red Honor, or the
Radio—is very. tightly wound. It
gives great distance when hit HARD
and ACCURATELY, because the
tightly wound strands of rubber in it
respond or rebound to a hard blow
more than strands not wound so
tightly. But the small, heavy ball
will NOT respond to a light blow very
well, and unless hit ACCURATELY,
with the center of the face of the
club, it will behave in a horrid and
sickly manner, wrenching the golfer’s
wrists and hurting his hands, and
going almost anywhere except in the
fairway.
A
The smaller a ball is, the closer it
nestles to the turf and the harder it
is to get up. This is an important
thing to a mediocre golfer. I remem
ber that some years ago even Chick
Evans, most accurate of all amateur
hitters, used a Black Domino, one
of the largest balls made. “I can get
hold of it better,” Chick told me.
| George Adair, who not only Is a
|goml player but also a mostt hought
ful and intelligent golfer, once told
me that in his opinion no man should
use a small, heavy ball until he was
shooting below 90 consistently.
“The Glory Dimple is the thing for
the mediocre player,” said the Hon.
| George. “It is a big ball, fine for
approaching and putting, and has ali
the distance in it the average player
can get out of any ball. No man
who shoots 90 or more needs any
thing from a golf ball that he can’t
get from the Glory Dimple. When he

Header Today—Jesup vs. Mc
.
Pherson, Gordon vs. Sevier,
F 6,000 baseball fans do not wiiness
l the two games at Ponce DeLeon
Park this afternoon, the men who
are directing military baseball will be
greatly disappointed.
Seven thousand attended the base
balling last week, and as the bill to
day is even better than last Satura
day's, it is easily seen why they ex=
pect 2,000 more people today.
Camp Sevier comes from Greenville,
8. C,, to do battle with the Camp Gor
don nine. This is the first time a
team from another city has played
Gordon here this year, and the boys
are eager to get off to a victory.
Camps Wheeler, Hancock and Ogle
thorpe will be brought here in the fu
ture.
This is the second game, and is
billed as the main event, but the Camp
Jesup-Fort McPherson game will be
just as thrilling. Jesup and McPher
son have never met, but they have
been playing about the same class of
ball, and a real, warm engagement is
predicted. For Jesup, the reliable
“Turkey” Boman will fling, with Hope
receiving. Franks and Engel proba=
bly will be the McPherson battery,
In this game will be Sammy Mayer,
the former Cracker star, who will lead
off for McPherson; Lowry, an Atlanta
youngster, who plays short; Kodden
berry, McClaskey and the other splen
did players who have been cavorting
at Poncey for several weeks,
g o o
“Rube” Marshall, the ex-Chatta~
nooga right-hander, will, of course,
take the hillock for Gordon against
Sevier. ‘‘Rube” is pitching now as
he never did before, and will be in
there working his head off for a vie
tory. Von Kolnitz, Harry Kingman,
McConnell and the other former pro=
fessionals will be behind Marshall.
The Sevier team has several good men
who formerly played in minor leagues,

The first game of the twin engage
ment begins at 2:30. Between this

lSecond Base Job on
. .
Giant Club Jinxed
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—The second
base job on the New York Giants
must be hoodooed.
Tough luck in one form or another
has stood in the path of four players
who have held down the keystone po
siticn for McGraw during the last two
vears If the job isn't hoodooed, what
it is?
Buck Herzog has tried holding
down the position for McGraw sev
eral times. And Buck and that said
job didn't get along. Early last sea
son, after he had been brought back
to the Giants for the third time, Buck
slipped on the floor of the Pennsyl
vania Station while en route to Phil
adelphia with the team and received
severe injuries. His condition has
never been the same since that acci
dent, and yet it wasn't that alone
which caused McGraw to dispose of
him, for, in addition, he failed to get
along with the Giant leader.
Next in line came Larry Doyle,
brought back to the New York club
via Chicazo and Boston. Larry went
great guns for several weeks after the
season opened. He led the league in
batting and he was going llke a ma
chine in the field. Suddenly he was
taken ill and had to undergo an oper
ation.
With Doyle out of it, McGraw pur
chased Bert Niehoff from the St.
Louis Cardinals, and just as the team
was getting ready to leave Philadel
phia to return to the Polo Grounds
after a long and disheartening trip
in the western half of the circuit Nie
hoff broke his leg.
Joe Rodiguez, the Cuban infielder,
has played the keystone sack on and
off for the (iiants all season, but Joe
doesn't have the best of luck in the
job, for though he works harder to
make good than any other man who
ever held the sack down, he can’t
make himself fit into the combination,
~ The members of the Giants them
selves are beginning to think that the
second-basing job is jinzed to a fare
you-well and no one can blame them.
beging shooting below 90 regularly,
and finds he needs a bit more dis
tance on his tee-shots, he may try
out the Baby Dimple, which is a fine
all-around ball of medium weight.
It takes a hard, accurate hitter to get
results from the smallest and heavi
est balls. They make every shot in
the game more difficult, and it is only
the best players who find that the
extra distance compensates them for
the great skill and care they require.”
