Ty and the Top Mark. Will ‘this be Ty Cobb’s- greatest year? Not unless he is a superman, reinforced to the thirty-third de- gree. zHere is Ty's record year, established Here is Ty's record year established maker: 146 games, 591 a. b., 147 runs; hits, 83 stolen bases, .420 bat av. Cobb so far, in forty-eight games, a trifle less than a third of the sched- uled spin, has piled up fifty-th.ee runs, sixty-nine hits and thirty steals. If he should maintain this, elip for 243 the rest of the season he would hrve 183 runs, 215 hits and 92 steals. Ile is beyond 1911, his greatest year, and the greatest year on offence any plav- er ever knew in run making aud base stealing, but is a trifle shy fn h't making. He has a good chance to break his old mark in runs and stol- en bases, but only a faint chance to break his record of base hits. Very few sons of swat ever compile 209 safe blows a year and a mark of .243% is one that will likely stand for a number of dry, feverish summers. Ty needs 179 hits in 106 games to even tie this old mark, and this would re- quire a .446 gleam in the candle pow- er of the Batting Eye for the rest the season. There musct be a limit somewhere to what even the highly miraculous Mr. Cobb can accomplish. !Or isn’t there? The Fury Record. ‘‘Hell hath no fury scorned’ 72— ‘Well, how about some tennis all set, Who with an easy shot before glim, Steps up and slams the pill the net? of like a woman star, iy into No wonder a lot of us can’t play good golf. Walter Travis, in his r.- cent match for the title against John- ny Anderson, had two putts of lecs than two feet. He looked up on botlt a record for him, and missed both. Yet a lot of look up on putts of eight feet, mashie shots of 140 yards or full drives and wonder what the ballyel happened. 3 If a look-up makes Travis miss a 2-foot putt, what will it do to the average golfer on a 140-yard shut? The answer is absolutely unprintable. ‘Where Some Elss Was Worse, This is a true story. Absoutely. There is a certain golf course ,lo- cated near an asylum, or Simp Home- stead. Over this course two ladies recently were playing a club mateh, One was playing well and the other badly. In fact, the latter had béen playing badly for some days, worry- ing over the unkempt tangles of her game. 1.

But when I saw that body it the water I figured then that there were worse things in life than bad 5ol§ so I quit worrying, took it easy, n.nd began hitting the ball at once.” This ll not only a true story, but there ‘l, quite a hunk of sound pHil- osophy ’ummed into its makKe-up.

MATHEWSON “Big [Six” Now Under Care of Nerve Specialist Chipago, June, 8.—Christy Mathew- son, for fifteen years the star pitcher of the Giants and the pride of thes New York basebell fans, appears to be nearing the end of his glorious career. For the flm time in Matty’s long career with the Gfants, he is bother- ed with a sore arm. Strangely ! enough, Matty’s ailment is not in his right arm, whose cunning has baffled major league batsmen sinee 1900, bur in the left. 'A dull pain runs from Big Six’s left shoulder into his left arm. The pain became so acute last night that the big pitcher was unable to sleep and a = nerve specialist was called in. The arm and shoulder have been continually massaged, and the nerve doctor is of the opinion that he can meet the trouble. The pain has greatly abated, and the pitcher expected to put in a better night. Manager McGraw feels certain that a course of massaging will place Big Six fback in working condition, “Mac” is ihclined to the opinion that the cold weather which the clubs have encpuntered all spring is largely re- spcfuible for Matty’s ailment. { Matty Not Optimistic. However, though Matty is hopeful, he is not quite as optimistic as his chief. After getting off to a fine start last season the Big Train began to hit the chutes, and he lost a big pércentage of his games from July to the finish of the season. Matty has not been himself ail spring. (His arm never got its old snap on the Marlin training camp, and Christopher worked it very gent- ly. 8o far, he has won only one National league game this season. In spite of his unfit condition, he was able to defeat the team which he has beaten consistantly year after year Cineinnati Reds. However, he sueceéded in beating Herzog's team by only 6 to &. Mathewson now admits that he has felt pain in many of the gamcs he has pitched, but expected that, with warmer weather, he could work it out, and kept the matter silent. However, after his suffering last him | HARTFORD BATTERS OFF ON VAGATION| Senators Downed in New Haven, Getting Four Hits New Haven, June 8.—Taking every- thing into consideration it was just as well that Umpire Graham gave Mr. ‘Walker, the boot as the ninth in- ning was about to begin yesterday afternoon at Savin Rock, for when Walker was chased to the club house via the bench he was succeeded by Bill Chappelle, who broke off a beau- | tiful hit in the tenth and it won the' game. Walker pitched fine ball, won- derful ball, and he also made a hit but whether he would have made one in the tenth or not will never be | known. Chappelle made one, though, and is entitled to the thanks for doing his share in beginning the week right.

BOBBY WALLACE NOW A DESPISED UMPIRE Has Spent Twenty-one Years on Dia. e. 000001032—8 1 8 mond, Earned $86,000 und Saved Mot of It. Boston, K Mass.. June twenty-one years' service as player and manager, Bobby Wallace, recently | released by the St. Louis Browns, made his debut as an American league umpire here yesterday. Wallace saw the Red Sox, beat the White Sox and his work was highly commended by both teams. Wallace did not get the appoint- ment from Ban Johnson because he reeds the money badly, for he is a thrifty, cléan and temperate indi- vidual, who has saved quite a bit of the $86,000 he has earned on the dia- mond. Ever since the day he started his career in Franklin, Pa., In the spring of 1894, Wallace has been u monu- ent to temperance—temperate habits, his conduct on the field and his attitude toward umpires. Hé never drank, never smoked, untess on a bet. One cigar made him sick, and, as! Robert Burns wrote, “he gloried In | his shame.” Wallace went to Cleveland in the. fall of 1894, and the next spring de- veloped into & third baseman, play- ing twenty-seven games. with Cleyeland (later switching to shortstop) until transferred to St Louis. . In 1902 he jumped in the big raid on Robinson Field with Jesse Burkett, Willle Sudhoff, Jack Harper and Emmett Heldrick to the newly or- ganized Browns, NEW ENGLAND LEAGUE.
