DILG, President, Izaak Walton League of America. HE Northern ducks are here. T blue-winged teal have come long ag heds of the Northern States. The lesser scaup, or bluebill, har- hinger of cold nerth winds, has come, 4 his advance guards are already the South. The redhead, flying in raight lines, has descended on the beds and the canvasback, his s flashing over the open ikes and along the coasts from one ud of the country to the other. Northern ducks of a medium de- eo are these old stanbys. The al, the mallard, the wood duck, now protected because of its brilliant plumage: t%e pintail and the spoon- bill are the early season birds. They daily along, feeding as they go. Then come the first birds from Canada ~canvashacks, redheads and their k. But now come the real northerns, some of them from Hudson Bay, some from as far north almost as the Article circle. ~They are strange, these northern ducks. The go'den eve., with his wing whistle, and the butter ball, a flash of black and white on the waves. The squaw duck, the zreater scaup, and some that have o names, but are breeds that have reccome mixed in the northland. Now come also the big grebes and the smaller mergansers. No. dslifers in mud.puddies .are these ducks. They must have water out of the clouds, strange ducks, others dressed in the startling black and white of the real North, are appearing on our familiar ponds and rivers. Coming on the high winds, dropping some of them beautifully colored, The early mallards and 0 and have already deserted the rice | that is deep enough for diving and cold enough to be exhilirating. Fly- ing like flocks of bullets, wasting no time in circling or investigating, these northerners seem to know just What they want to do, and they do it. They drop like plummets into the open water and when startled they leave it with a whir of wings.-and mount into the sky. They lack intelligence, or at least the experience of the earlier ducks. Mallard and Teal have nested closer to the haunts of man, and they have learned to be cautious. Those of the far North have not seen a man nor any of man's works since last Spring. They are fearless, and they drop into lakes at the edges of citles, and even into the lakes of our city parks. I have seen more than one flock of these ducks sitting peacefully on the ‘water of Lake Michigan within a stone's throw of thousands of people. But we must hand it to the Mal- lard. The earliest duak, he is also among the last. Big flocks of Mal- lards, with green heads predominat- ing, will still be coming through when the only water is where springs have .kept little open ponds around the shores of the ice-covered lakes, in- | Batch | but | supremacy at second base. | CURB ROLLERS STILL TOP DISTRICT ROLLERS Curb Cafe bowlers continue to set the pace in the District Duckpin Leaguc, being seven gaies to the good.

SALSINGER. | { A + | \IAT is now described by the terms %heads-up” and “on-your-toes” base ball was first introduced by Ty Cobb. He brought the “heads-up” and “on- your-toes” style of play to its high- est peak. Before Cobb's debut ball teams had nearly always clung to | what base bail calls the “old army game,” playing in a strictly orthodox fashion. Cobb’s style of base running and | fielding brought about faster and quicker play. The plays he intro- duced and which were gradually adopted compelled players to be alert, to stay on their toes and to keep their heads up. No player was ever as consistent- 1y or finely alert as Cobb. Recalling one play that describes this alert- { e | New York used to have a giant catcher, Sweeney by name. In one game Cobb came to bat with Donie Bush, then Detroit's shortstop, on second base. Cobb drove through the infield. The center flelder came tear- ing in on the ball, scooped it up and | whipped it to Sweeney to catch Bush | at the plate. Ball and runner reached home about the same time and Umpire Jack Egan called Bush safe. Sweeney Jumped to his feet and protested. Egan started away from the plate, as umpires frequently do when an argu- ment starts. But Sweeney, hand on hips, with one hand grasping the ball, stayed right at Egan's side. : A Second Close One. In the meantime Cobb was slowly ntering off third and toward the plate. The umpire, to get rid of Sweeney walked toward the pitcher's box. Sweeney, not to be shaken loose, followed the umpire. Their backs were to the plate. There came a sudden loud roar. Sweeney, turning iscovered Cobb streaking for the plate. Sweeney could not throw the ball, as no one was ahead to receive it, S0 Sweeney ran for the same spot. Cobb and Sweeney hit the dirt at the same time, ‘sliding for the plate from opposite directions, but Cobb got his hand on the plate fust a fraction of a second before Sweeney's right hand, grasping the ball, touched him. Cobb always studied his opponents. He tried to discover the weaknesses of individuals and the weaknesses of teams. It was always his aim to out- think them. He studied their line of reasoning and then he knew what to do to cross them completely. It was while Clark Grifith was manager of the New York Ameri- cans that Cobb first pulled his play of going from first to third on a sacrifice bunt. It had mever been done before. “Heads-Up”’ CHAPTER XXXI. 2 Bases On a Bunt— On Hal Chase’s Arm— Ty Hears a Boast. The runner had always fied to advance one base. At that time Hal Chase, greatest of first basemen, was with New York and George Moriarty, now an umpire, was playing third. Cobb reached first and Claude Rossman bunted a sacri- fice. Cobb, who had taken a big lead on the pitched ball touched the inside corner of second and raced to third, the first time any one had pulled a play like that. Cobb Hears Beast. After vhe game Cobb was in clubhouse. Next to the Detroit lock- er rooms were those of the visiting club. A locked door was between the two rooms, but above the door was a transom and it was opédh. Through this opening Cobb heard the voice of Griffith on the other side bawling out Chase and Moriarty for letting that “crazy nut of a Cobb” show them up by going from first to third on a sac- rifl been sati ever mind, we'll get this simp tomorrow if he tries any of his nut tricks on us again, won't we, Morrle?” sald Chase. they would. Cobb thought the matter over that night and the next afternoon, before the game, he called Rossman aside. “Will you bunt every time I get to firste” “Sure, if you want me to.” “All right then, bunt every time He Did It Twice. Cobb twice reached first base in that game and each time Rossman, coming up to_the plate next, bunted. Each time Cobb streaked from first to third on the out. Each time Chase and Mor- sarty, both set for just that play. tailed to get him. Chase made a good throw, but the ball got to Morlarty just @' fraction too late to enable him to make the play. When Cobb pulled the play a second time in that game and got away with it, Moriarty, tak- ing two steps toward the pitcher, threw the ball on the ground and reached down to get it on the re- bound. But before his hand touched the ball there came a roar of human voices. Moriarty turned and caught a picture of a human cyclone headed for the plate. He hurriedly tried to grab the ball. He did manage to get it and throw, but his throw pierced a cloud of dust at the home plate, for Cobb had beaten the ball by several teet. Walking into.the clubhouse after that game, Manager Griffith glared at Moriarty and then he glared at Chase, whose locker was several feet farther on. That is all he did—glared. Neither spoke a word.
