Cobb, Speaker, Sisler, Ruth and
Johnson Biggest Drawing
Cards in Game.
By James J. Corbett.
AVE you ever noticed that
practically every spectacular
and Dpicturesque player-—the
real drawing cards of baseball—are
American Leagu- ¥ o S
ers? iR
The diamond 5 $« g

Without a doubt§ M@l =v o
Cobb has drawn I,
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.
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 bail
Jots, throngs, earlier indifferent to
diamond activities of 1918, poured into
the parks where Ruth was scheduled
to perform. Oh, yes, they went to see
a ball game, of course, but what they
rezlly went to see weg the Red Sox
ciubber “busting” the ball.
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
derers 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.
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.
+ P
Who is the greatest drawing card
among the twirlers? Right you are
—it's “Walter Johnson! Whenever he
is billed to pitch, 3 few extra thou
sand fans usually can be counted
upen. They want to see the “Speed
King” in action. It has been that way
ever since the Idaho phenom flashed
into major league view a dozen years
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.
‘Then there's Sisler—another fan
dom lure. Baseball enthusiasts around
the American League circuit aren’t
awfully keen these days to see the
Browns 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 League;
players worth far more than their
weight in gold as magnets; men
whose individual brilllancy daily at
tracts to the parks thousands upon
thousands who never would go to the
game if they weren’t in the line-up.
+ + *
There are many great players in
the Natjonal 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 Natienal, 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
turesqueness of Cobb, the spectacular
display of Speaker. Burns, in a word,
works so smoothly, so mechanically,
that he is called colorless.

{any other kind.
| In which the duffer is all wrong.
| Years of struggle and yards of con
;vnrmtion with professionals and
‘crack amateurs have convinced me
‘that women, light hitters and inac
{ curate golfers of both sexes and all
| sizes and horsepowers should use
|large, light projectiles. The small,
heavy ball is not for them and its
iuse will cause more misery than joy.
| e
{ The idea is this:
i 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
tand ACCURATELY, because the
i 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
twill 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
lsicklv manner, wrenching the golfer's
Iwrists and hurting his hands, and
| going almost anywhere ¢xcept in the
i fairway.

‘ The smalier 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
|mtters, used a Black Domino, one
of the largest balls made. “I can get
| hold of it better,” Chick told me.
I George Adair, who not only is a
| good player but also a mostt hought
iful and intelligent golfer, once told
me that in his epinion 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
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

Two Cubans Are Going Great in
Majors—Wheat and Cobb
Leaders.
ÜBA is not so well represented
L in the major leagues, but two
of her gons are doing great work
work up there and are forging to the
front among the swatters of the two
big circuits.
Cueto, the swarthy young infielder,
outfielder-catcher, who spent the ab
breviated Southern season with Chat
tanooga, now with Cincinnati, is ham
mering the sphere for a goal, and the
latest averages give him .347 and sec
ond place. Murphy tops him, with
.375. Neither of the two leaders
played in half of his team's gameés,
however, so Zach Wheat, the Brook
lynite, is the real pace maker of the
National, with .336. Heinie Groh is
second, with .33Z, and Billy South
worth, the Pirate sensation, third,
with 326, Daubert, Merkle, Hollocher,
“Red” Smith, Roush, the Magee pair,
Prince Hal Chase and Ross Young
are hitting .300 or better,
“Hippo” Vaughn, the strapping Cub
pitchér, ranks at the top of the pitch
ing list, with twenty victories and six
defeats, for .769. Although Cecil
Cuusey, the young Giant, has a better
mark, he has not worked in very
many games.
o
Cuba comes around again in the
American League batting chase. Bal
dermo Acosta, the former Senator and
Cracker, is sticking the ball hard,
ranking third, with .337. Tyrus Cobb
tops 'em all, with .378, with George
Burns, the Athletie, second, with .350,
George Sisler and Tris Speaker are
next to Acosta, while Clyde Milan,
Frank Baker, Babe Ruth, Wally Pipp,
Joe Wood, Ray Caldwell and Ray
Demmitt are clouting over .300.
Sam Jones, the Red Sox hurler,
has won eleven and lost five, which
places him first among the Ameri
can League boxmen, with .688. Stanl
Coveleskie and Carl Mays rank sec
ond, each with eighteen wins and |
ten losses.

Seats for 12,000 at Double-
Header Today—Jesup vs, Mc-
Pherson, Gordon vs, Sevier,
¥ 4,000 baseball fans do not wiiness
1 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 Satur
day's, it is easily seen why they ex
pect 2,000 more people today,
Camp Sevier comes from Greenville,
S. 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
voungster, who plays short; Kodden
berry, McCleskey and the other splen
did players who have been cavorting
at Poncey for several weeks,
+ 3
“RKube” 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 vic
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,
L
The first game of the twin engage
ment begins at 2:30. Between this
contest and the wind-up, the cele
brated Liberty Quartet, of Camp Gor
don, will entertain the fans with a
few melodies. Bands will be on hand
to play during the games and also
’ between them.

With the circus seats erected. the
Ponce Del.eon stapds will seat 12,000,
This number may not attend, but
€very person present is assured a good,
comfortable seat.
