Old Timers Think Bill Lange Ranked With Ty Cobb as Great Baseball Star
Chicago Outfielder Could Play
Any Position on Infield or Out
field—Lead National for Years
By JAMES J. CORBETT.
(Copyright, 1919, by King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)
The present generation of fans lis
almost a unit in the belief that no
greater outfielder ever could have
flashed along the baseball horizon
_than Ty Cobb. But many of the old
timers say:
“Bill Lange was greater.”
And then they qualify: ;
“Cobb is a marvel--there's no dla-‘
puting that. He perhaps has it on
Lange a little in the matter of hit
ting. It's about 50-50 In basemnnlnx.‘
But as a fielder and a thrower, Lange
was Cobb's superior. And Lange, un
like Cobb, was an all around man.
He could pitch splendidly, was a
catching marvel and could play any
position of the infield or outfield in
gensational style.
“TLange was a glant In size, tower
ing well beyond six feet and weigh
ing well beyond .200. Yet despite his
fmmense bulk, Tange was deerlike on
the bases. There are many who have
seen both Cobb and Lange at their
best, who incline to the belief that
lange was even faster than Cobb,
though he had to haul around much
more ‘tonnage.’ He led the National
lLeague in base stealing again and
again and through all the years of
his prime, ranked as the nightmare of
backstops
“Bill Lange was as graceful a bats
man as ever stepped to the plate. He
made no wild lunges at the ball. He
hit with the game free swing of Larry
Lajoie. He didn’t seem to put tre
mendous power in the drive. Yet when
bat met ball, the horsehide whistled
along as if projected from a eannon.
LANGE GREAT ON SACKS,
“And on the sacks Lange showed
quick thinking equal to that of Cobb.
His mind was ever alert for the
slightest opportunity, and times with
out number he stretched seeming sin
gles into two-baggers by catching his
rivals unawares.
“The throwing arm of Bill Lange
was lauded in song and story. He
could hurl the ball from the deepest
recesses of the playing field on a line
to - home plate—a trick that only a
few men of all time have been able to
duplicate. And, as a fielder, lange
was superb, His fielding Was fault
less-—he knew just where to play for
every ball hit out in his direction.
“lange figured in many spectac
ular baseball featsy but perhaps no
afternoon of any players' lifetime was
a more remarkable one than Lange
lived in Chicago nearly twenty-five
years ago.
BARE HAND CATCH.
“Chicago and Boston weve battling
and the game had gone to the thir
teenth inning. Boston got two men
on with two out. The next batter
hammered the ball with mighty force
toward the wall that marked the end
of Lange's field. Bill raced after it
with the speed of an antelope and
just when it seemed that the ball|
would crash safely against the fence,
he made a mighty leap skyward,
stuck out his bare hand-—and pulled
the ball from out of the clouds.
“A hurricane of applause greeted
Tange when he nteppe? to the plate
in the thirteenth—the first, man up for
Chicago. He swung his mighty
bludgeon at the initial offering of
the pitcher, As the ball whlzwdl
through the infield Lange tore around
the sacks and slid home-—in safety—
about one second ahead of the ar
rival of the relay throw.
“Rarely has it been given to one
man the privilege and the joy to ac
complish two such remarkable acts as
Bill Lange accomplished that summer
afternoon in the long ago. 4
“lange was an individual idol as
m as Mike Kelly, Buck Ewing, Cap
n and the other illustrious stars
of the era of nearly two generations
ago. He had a contagious smile, was
ever dbubbling with good nature and
nothing made him happier than the
zhylu of a practical joke. A humor
t, & josher, a most lovable fellow
and one of the most marvelous ball
players of all time—that was Bill
Lange.” .

Joe Beckett, heavyweight champion - ‘// fij e é/ %
of Great Britain, photographed at his Ay, G 44/ -

in training for coming bouts. It is . o
reported that the big Britisher will eI "*’-’
come here later on to fight Cham
pion Jack Dempsey.
;‘;4 T TIMELY S
' X /Ae NEWS
The other night a number of bouts were staged at Camp Gordon be
tween hoys who are wearing the khaki of Uncle Sam. Every one of the
scraps was brimful of action, and those present are still talking about
the evening's entertainment. ‘
Bouts of this sort, however, between soldiers are nothing unusual.
One witnessed events of this kind daily abroad; in fact, it was seldom,
indeed, when a card of unsatisfactory scraps was put on over there, And
it was just this sort of entertainment that made the sport so strong
with the red-blooded youths of our
country who served during the
world war, as well as those still in
the service.
Most of the boys are back, and it
was only the other that I took part
in a conversation with two army
officers who witnessed the Herman
-Hahn fiasco staged here recently.
Both are lovers of the game, and
one of them went so far as to
referee a number of bouts in France.
As round after round of the Her
man-Hahn go went on he almost
shed tears. “Just think of it,”” he
said. ‘“Those fellows can't have the
interast of the sport at heart and go
through an exhibition of that kind,
It's impossible.” And the speaker
was right.
5. 99
Selfish promoters, who only think
of themselves and what gain they
may derive from' each bout, and
boxers whose only ambition is to
grab as much of the “soft” money
as they can possibly get their hands
on are the game's worst enemies.
It has been this way ever since
the sport first gained a stronghold
with the publie. State after Siate
has legalized the sport only to
clamp on the lid after it was given
a fair chance, and it's a shame.
.9 8
Recently there was some talk up
East regarding the organization of a
National Boxing Commission, much
on the order of the one that rules
baseball, Even such great men as
ex-President Taft and General
Wood were suggested as being fit
parties to head a body of this kind,
and they would be, but the chances
are that neither of them would care
to meddle in an aff®ir of this kind.
It takes a student of the boxing
game to handle this sport, as it's a
mighty hard game at best. A com
mission that could rule boxing
throughout the country, made up of
men who have been connected with
the sport in a clean manner, would
be a wonderful thing, but for the
present it's only a dream.
5 9 B
A good plan, however, on a small
er scale that might be worked out,
in my opinion, is the organization of
SR
a body of men to control boxing in
a number of States or cities within
a set area. Right here in the South
we have boxing in Georgia, Tennes
see, Arkansas and Louisiana. If
some arrangement could be made
whereby the leading boxing men of
these States could get together and
form some sort of a commission
that would protec{) the people
against all visiting boxers coming
this way, it would prove a big boost
to the sport. In that way, if a
boxer came to Atlanta and made a
miserable showing he could then
have his case handled by said com
mission and if found guilty of the
charge he could then be barred in
every one of these States, besides
suffering the punishment the local
boxing heads may wish to place on
him. True, this might seem a bit
complicated now, but there is no
doubt that it could be worked out to
some satisfactory arrangement.
During the last two years the
bouts in this town have been any
thing but worthy of the patronage
of followers of the sport here, not
withstanding some of the reports
printed of those @ncounters, .
> o 0
Atlanta doesn’t want to be the
home of fly-by-night premoters, in
competent referees, and boxers who
are only touring the country to pick
up what they call “soft” money. A
plan has been put into use here
to have two judges and she referee
to work tegether in rendering de
cisions. It's my opinion that any
ring judge who hasn't got the cour
age to pender a decision as he sees
it should keep out of the ring. True,
he may be forced to suffer abuse
now and then, as it's a weil known
fact that a referee, lik an umpire
in a baseball game, can't call them
to the satisfaction of all. Neverthe
less, when the fans see a boxing con
test, they want to see the decision
rendered immediately after the bout
by the man who is in a position to
see what has happened. It's his
duty to give the verdict, and pass«
ing the buck to some one else
doesn’'t help matters any.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 30.—Myers,
undaunted by the presence of the pennant
chasers from Chicago, held the near cham
pions to five hits today so well scat

fellow conspirators rapped out ten safeties,
productive of four runs. Chapman, the
Indian's snappy shortstop, hit safely three
times in four times up.
