Cobb Is Like Schoolboy on Vacation : Suit Threatens Structure of Base Ball GOLF AND HUNTING KEEP TY BUSY NOW No Base Ball in Life of For- ' 'mer Diamond Star, but He May Buy Club. BY DILLON GRAHAM. By the Associated Press. TLANTA, Ga,, February 26.— Ty Cobb sits in a big, easy chair, smoke rings curling around his lean head and bronzed features, and dreams of | the big game he is going to hunt some day in Africa. He has been doing that for years. He has never been closer to the jungles with a gun than Canada. But he dreams on. Plans have been changed and rechanfed. Bear, moun- | tain lions, moose have fallen before his | crack shooting on preparatory trips. He wants those elephants, cmcadllesi and rhinos. But something else always comes up. Golf is his game now. He plays with the same fervor and zest that made him the center flelder of all time. He shoots in the low 80's, and does it left- handed. He tries to kill the ball on shot, and so he presses. He lerful slices. Ty was playing one day with Bobby Jones over a North Carolina course. ‘They were off their respective games. Both were slightly peeved. Ty and Bobby Stopped. Coming up to the eighteenth tee, Cobb decided to drive right-handed and Bobby swung from the left side. They t four balls in & creek in front of Ee green. Solemnly they shook hands and went home. Mrs. Cobb can tell you from Ty’s foot- steps when he hits the front porch whether he has won or lost. It used to be the same when he was playing base ball. He puts the same fervor and dash into both games. The stronger the opposition, the better he Plly:“ And hepg:n't bear to lose—at anything. The last time he wrestled with his 14-year-old son, Herschal, a husky 155- pound lad, it took everything Ty had to down the boy. He 't wrestled Herscl since. ~He won't let his son throw But he loves to play with the kids. Next to golf, Ty likes to fish and hunt. He prides himself on being able to take young fellows out and walk ’em down. He quit base ball because his legs went back on him. He goes after birds on horseback and hunts fox at night. He has to exercise daily or he feels badly. No Base Ball for Cobb. Since retirement Cobb feels like a schoolboy on vacation. He has no de- sire to play ball again. Some day he may purchase a ball club. Base ball meant nothing but hard work to him after his first year as hitting champion. He had to struggle too hard to protect ery and the walls are covered with f celebrities of all kinds. Y| played in the s # thinks the American people as a whole eat too much. For a day's food | he is satisfled with a light breakfast (@ and dinner at 6 p.m. He likes to ride his | o fine saddle horses and is a stickler for | ing ‘;’fl developing the ters. His favorite story is the one about rookie outfielder. It was in the HYATTSVILLE IN MEET ‘Will Have Eight Starters in C. U.| Games on March 7.

COCHRAN UNDISPUTED LEADER IN BILLIARDS Defeats Hoppe and Gets First Place in International 18.2 Tourney. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 26.—Welker | Cochran of Hollywood, Calif., is undis- gufed leader in the international 18.2 alkline billiards tournament today. He broke the deadlock for the lead last night hL trouncing Willle Hoppe, 400 to 252, eight innings. Cochran's smallest run was 17, and :»e hlg’;n l\;eus';l orb:!% for the game, y pe for the average com- gll‘:: 80 Fl-l' this tournament. He failed, owever, to equal his rival’s record high run of 217, ending the match with an unfinished cluster of 152. Kinrey Matsuyama, little Japanese star, pulled himself out of the cellar position in yesterday’s other match, as he defeated Eric Hagenlacher of Ger- many, 400 to 397, in & 16-inning match. Hagerlacher now has lost three straight matches. Hoppe is second, with 2 vic- tories and 1 defeat, while Matsuyama has won 1 game and lost 2. ‘Today’'s schedule sends Cochran against Matsuyama and Hoppe against Hagenlacher. —_— DIFFER ON BASE BALL Lyons Likes New Sphere, but Faber Sees No Good in It. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., February 26 (#).—Ted Lyons, who won 22 games for a feeble Chicago White Sox club last season, and Urban (Red) Faber, dean of American League pitchers, are not agreed on what the new ball likely to do for hurlers. Lyons, whose specialty is the knuc- kle-ball, thinks the pitchers will benefit by the raised stitches, while Uncle Ur- ban, who has been thro spitballs for 17 seasons, does not like if, be- cause he believes the stitches will af- ford more resistance, and that, he says, is no help to spitball hurlers.

BY ALAN GOULD. IAMI, Fla., February 26 (#)— They may have to move over later, if not this year, to make room for Mickey Walker in the scramble for the world's heavyweight championship. Less than six pounds over the limit for the middleweight class, in which | he holds the world's title, Walker packed enough stamina and wallop in his 1651 pounds last night to hand & convincing pasting to 194-pound Johnny Risko of Cleveland, somewhat battered reminder of the one-time spoller of heavyweight ambitions. Walker won the unanimous verdict of three judges after 10 slashing, bruising rounds of punch-tossing. Mickey was held to clcse to even terms for the first _ eight rounds, due to Johnny's bull-like charges and aggressive ham- 'mering, but Walker won the last two rounds by a wide margin. Johnny Punched Groggy. Risko was groggy in the ninth and tenth under Walker’s vicious left hooks and right crosses to the chin. The Associated Press score sheet gave Mickey six rounds and Risko four. In fine condition, Walker overcame big handicaps in weight and reach to demonstrate his ability to mix success- fully in bigger company. He has not defended the middleweight crown in over a year and apparently. fntends to iea"e it %nmthfhlh;lf whu‘ligu I:ltflu or 8 8pol e heavyweight picture. nm‘.mnt?l: x;z':ch chuu’ of his e program for 1931, however. Before Walker fought the main go last night, Max Schmeling, the German, who was bequeathed the heavyweight title by boxing authorities, and his American challenger, Young Stribling, appeared in exhibitions. The winner of the Schmeling-Stribling bout, in June, is slated to defend the title against Primo Carnera. Carnera Sees It. Carnera was a spectator last night of Boston here on March § in the bat- tle of the cracked rib. The balmy weather, the moon and the customers were mostly conspicuous by their absence last evening, although the show put on under the promotion of “Pa” Stribling was distinctly an artis- tic- success. The box office check-up showed approximately 20,000 cash cus- tomers and gross gate receipts of $38,- 000. ‘These figures were below expect- ations, but sufficient, Stribing said, to show a profit. The arena, built in| boxing boom times, was less than half full of fans, who paid anywhere from $1 for a perch on the outer rim, to $10 for “patron press” chairs. PEAKE SETS RECORD IN HORSESHOE TILT Has 21 Ringers in 34 Throws in Quickest Victory Scored in Metropolitan League. In an all-star Metropolitan Horseshoe League double-header at the Greenway, Maryland's three-man team defeated Arlington, 399 to 365, and Plaza trimmed Falls Church, 426 to 337. Millard Peake of Maryland was the outstanding figure. In the shortest league game on record he tossed 21 ringers out of 34 shoes to beat Andrew Casper. He won all three of his games and held his opponents to 74 points. Peake's arch rival, Earl Crane of aza, also won all his games, his oppo- nents gathering 101 golnts to his 150. ‘Tomorrow night CI Columbia Heights.

Until today it remained a mystery, even to Joe Turner, the local mat magnate. Now the truth is out. It seems Ghafoor doesn't like to take advan- tage of his foes. Ghafoor speaks seven different languages, and some of his opponents barely get by with one. And that's why the erudite Mr. Khan from Afghanistan sports that built-for-two hirsute decoration on his lip—so his opponents can even up matters somewhat by tugging on the mustachio while he outgrunts ’em in seven different languages.

The “Nebraska Wild- cat” is rated one of the leading grapplers of the Curley collection. Two star dispensers of ornate agony, Matros Kirelenko and Milo Steinborn, are expected to provide much of the rassle fireworks tonight. By request from Matros the bout is under “winner-take-all” terms. Chief White Feather, the chinlock master, will attempt to soften up Paul Jones’ jaw a bit during their tete-a-tete, billed as the main bout. A newcomer to Washington fan- dom opens the program. He is Floyd Marshall, originally slated to battle George Hill. The latter, however, was reported to be injured by Mike Romano in a grapple a couple of nights ago. Turner has a substitute available. One other gasp rounds out the program. Billy Bartush returns to his old stomping grounds to rassle George Hagen, the Marine.

In substance, the commissioner is quoted as saying that if the suit goes against him as the representative of organized base ball, the major and minor leagues may as well tear up the national agreement and begin over again, BY JOHN B. FOSTER. HE basic structure of or- ganized base ball hangs in Had to Co-operate. It is said that Judge Landis is per- fectly satisfied that the Bennett case, testing his power to make final dispo- sition of a player, has been brought because it will either establish the present organization of base ball or bring about a reaction and another re- organization. Reorganization and re- action both are dreaded by the major league owners, who have had all they wish of court actions. Years ago, while the National and tional League, then sole major league party to a national agreement with the minor leagues, annulled it. They insisted it was im| ible to retain its provisions while the American League was at liberty to pirate players in any league in which they could be found. This action threw the minor leagues into consternation and they formed the national association to protect them- selves. They adopted an agreement which had no direct bearing upon any organizations but their own. Needed Czar System. Then the major leagues became reconciled and finally decided to adopt the a)reacm agreement. When this was done it was the opinion of major league club owners that a one-man authority was absolutely necessary, and the durvlm of"Judge Landis were se- cured. The present agreement had not been long in effect when there were mutter- ings from two or three sources against the “authority of the commissioner. Some of this protest came from the St. Louis Americans, whose owner, it was asserted, was the only major league man who had voted in opposition to Judge Landis’ election. It is agreed that base ball affairs in general have been better handled under he has imposed some severe fines and has been an open opponent of the 11, evidently fearing the arising of a condition similar to that created when Masonic Scores DOUBLES. 98 Robb..... eeler andicap T Maddox.
