DETROIT, May 24—Tyrue Ray- mond Cobb, variously yclept “The Peerless One’ and “The Georgia Peach,” i not yet among the bench manager class, despite his 37 years! and the thinning hairs on his head. Frequent predictions, first heard when| he succeeded Hughie Jennings as manager of the Detroit Tigers two! years ago, that he was through es a player, have failed of fulfillment. It is a different Cobb who guides) the destinies of the 1923 Tigers from the player who flashed among the) major league constellations in 1905, gaining in brilliancy and renown un-| til In 1911 he became a .420 batter. The speed that gave Cobb a new major league record for stolen bases in 1915, with a total of 98, is waning, but in its place has come craftiness, and because he had so much speed) to lose, he still is a great outfielder, still a dangerous man on the pathe. At bat, he is the sam each.” His eye seems as clear ea in his} earlier days when he was the bug-| bear of all pitchers in the league. He continues to meet the ball squately, and his faculty of driving the ball out of reach of the fields seem greater, if anything, this year than ever.\ From the start of this ecason ho with extra. ‘The Burlington has arrangements made for numerous special trains from various parts of the country to Shelby for the affair, ‘These trains will sit on sidings the day of the fight and will be able to give diner service to the railroad’s patrons.

The distance from Casper to Shelby {s approximately 750 miles by auto: mobile going by way of Sheridan, Billings and Great Falls. The roads are reported to be good with the ex- ception of a few stretches. Persons who have made the trip say that it ts a hard two day's drive and that the average person will want to take three days on the road each way. From indications at this early date there will be a big representation of Casper fans at the ringside. The in terest here is growing every day and should be augmented after the Midget Smith-Earl Puryear fight at the rodeo grounds June 8.

Cobb's heavy ar- tillery is conceded to be the equal of the New York club's’ “murderers' row,” and his pitching staff, consid- erea the principal weaknese of the club, hae shown surprisingly well during the first month, the veteran Dause especially appearing near the peak of his form. Some critics see Cobb may direct indications that his club from the bench soon, in the acquisition of two Slugging recruits, Fothergill and Manush, both of whom have been used effectively this year, but Cob» smiles and continues to take his stand in centerfield.

And the tire men certainly have to agree with them. No other punishment quite equals what a tire gets every day in hitting the open prairie, rocketing overnew and unballasted roads, riding the ruts, wading through rock-srewn fields, and clambering over Pipe lines and timbers on a location. Te is conditions like these that have tested and proved the new Goodyear Cord Tire with the beveled All-Weather Tread, and made it the special favorite of the Casper oil fields. The rugged strength of Goodyear group- ply construction, the tough wear-resisting rubber in the sidewalls, and the famous All-Weather Tread itself, result in a tire life and a tire economy that you need not ex- pect from anything but Goodyear Tire quality. e e e As Goodyear Service Station Dealers we sell and recommend Goodyear Tires and back them up with standard Goodyear Service L.
