Ty Cobb is unquestionably the greatest batsman of all time, j Opposing pitchers will tell you that Cobb has few if any weaknesses at the plate, In the batting end of the game Cobb is about the last word. There tyle to his every move. ‘There reason for everything that he The pitcher is Cobb's arch enemy- To a great many pitchers Cobb is “poison” in the parlance of the ball field. Now just who does Ty regard as the stylist among American League pitchers? His Delivery Ideal. Sam Jones of the New York Yankees was the man Cobb named for me during a recent discussion of big league pitchers, “There may be more effective pitchers than Jones, pitchers capa- ble of standing more work, but to my way of thinking Sam Jones is the stylist among American League Word of Praise From Veteran Ty Easy Delivery, Wins pitchers,” said Cobb, “Jones has the ideal delivery. He is free, pitches without the slightest effort. “Sam has everything in this as- sortment of foolers, a good fast ball, fast breaking curve and a fine change of pace. Better When Careless. “When Jones is pitching, his team really should have five inflelders as he is a wonder moving around the box That helps considerable. “Jones is one of the few pitchers who can deliver his slow ball with exactly the same motion as his fast one, That is puzzling to the bats- man and believe me Jones has a slow ball that is a wonder, “If Jones has a single fault it is control, not lack of it but too much of it, He has a tendency to make his pitches too good at times. He is effective when pitching carelessly. “To my way of thinking Jones ts the real stylist among American League pitchers.

Should both New York clubs maintain their places at the top for the third successive year, the annual struggle probably will begin Tuesday, October 9.

The Philadelphia Council tried to make it iHegal to bathe between November 1 and March 15 and failed by one vote. Virginia placed a luxury tax of $30 on each bathtub in the state. Ideas regarding cleanliness have changed materially since then. In fact, ideas on almost everything have undergone something of a metamor- phosis. Today, these changes are taking place more rapidly than ever before. There has never been a time when evolution hit such a furious pace—when conditiqns changed so quickly—when standards of living were raised so consistently. You may not realize it, but adver- tising is responsible for much of this improvement. Advertising has tak- en its place as a leading force in solv- ing the wants of the people. Stop and think how many of the ap- i Pliances you'use, the foods you eat, the clothes you wear and ‘other articles entering into your daily life, ——~were popularized through newspaper advertising.
