Jack Coombs blew up in the ninth inning of the first game, and Phil Douglas was unable to check the rally, Pittsburg winning by 5 to 3. Cheney pitched the first seven innings of the second session and Marqaurd finished the game, which was won by Brooklyn by a score of 3 to 2.

When subjected to the ordeal of | said interview Tyrus the First had been at bat sixteen times without striking one safe blow—and most of it was agalnst weak pitching. ‘How does it feel,” we asked Mr. Cobb, “to go sixteen tiines to bat with- out making a base hit?” “It feels,’ Temarked Mr. Cobb, with Shakespearian diction, “like’ll” “How do you account for the fact,” we continued. ‘‘that a man can average hits to the galic for over one hun- dred games—can amass an average of .400 and then go sixteen times to bat without planting one safe ’ “I haven’t tried to account for it,” said Ty. *“But I'm going out there to- morrow and knock the cover off that ball or breaeck my dcggoned back.” And there, gentle or low-brow reader, you have Ty Cobb. The ordi- nary athlete who had travelled sixteen times to the plate without striking as much as one safe blow would be de- pressed, if not a trifie melancholy, or perhaps moody. But Ty wasn't. He didn’t know what the answer was be- cause he wasn't thinking of the hits he missed yesterday. He was thinking of the hits he is going to get tomorrow. “1 used to worry about my hitting.” said Ty, “but not now. I forget the days I don’t hit and lock forward to the days I'll get 'em.” We put it to you as a fairly simple proposition—is there any philosophy ir this brief, uncertain, fluttering exist- ence called Life that could be finer? Is there any philosophy that can beat this of Cobb’s?—forget the mistakes of yesterday in thinking of the glory of tomorrow. That is Ty Cobb’s system. He doesn’t permit any slump, however ex- tended, to destroy his confidence. He doesn’t permit any slip to shatter his nerve. He looks toward tomorrow, not back yesterday; and, after all, there is only one way to look—and that way isn’t toward the rear. Cobb is the rarest human study we bave ever known. Deep down in his heart—in the pit of his soul—there is unbounded egoism or egotism in its finest sense. But on his lips—for pub- lic consumption—there he is only modest. He believes he can deliver, he knows that he has the goods, but he doesn’t try to admit it. If he is going well he attributes it in public to luck— tc the break of the game. He makes no pretense of being the world's greatest player. He might admit that he is the world’s luckiest player. But deep beneath the surface he has the most supreme confidence of all con- nected with sport—a greater confi- dence than Travers ever knew, a greater confidence than Jeffries ever knew. For it is the confidence of efliciency—the confidence born of a belief that hard work and eternal hustling, coupled With ability plus a never-quit system, will surpass any field. A slump to Cobb is merely momen- tary deficiency that must be made up later on. It is merely a gap that must be filled by harder work and more ox- tended hustling. He belleves the top «nn be reachad by any man, with a cefain amount of ability, who is will- 4 1t erly to work hard but to work bardwr tkan any other man. Cobb was following certain leaders in {he amateur golf championship and | watching each shot with keen interest. He looked to a certain extent toward | style, of which'in golf he doesn’t know a great deal. But he observed, above all other factors, the mental and psychological element in the game. | He studied different faces and different | cxpressions as certain hard shots had | te be made. And from this he de his own deductions. ¥rom thij he immediately made up his mind that beat in any match. “Why?"” we asked him. “Well,” he said, “just look at Tra- vers' face. He hasn't seen a soul for the last four holes. Look at that jaw | and at those eyes. He is out there to win-—he isn’t thinking of anything eise but his game. He doesn’'t know any one else is here.” Another man whose golfing disposi- tion made a great hit with Cobb was Ouimet. Ouimet’s cool, easy way of facing each shot, of not showing the clightest flutter after bad mistakes, caught the fancy of the Tigers' star. ‘“When you've got a man who doesn’t hother over mistakes, but who goes about making up a slip with the next shot, you've got a hard man to keep down,” was the dope Ty had on the amateur champion. “I don’t believe anything could upset Ouimet,” he added, “and a fellow who !YANKS GET BEAT Gl'd’nt/dna’ Rice is never upset is always at his best, mentally, if not phy: H Which is the exact answer, take it |1 from Tyrus or a scribe far or less re- | } r.owned, i HARTFORD'S WATERLOO: Enators Lose Two to Brockton and Latter Team Nears Top- Brockton, Sept. 1.—-By winning both games of a double header from | ¥ near the leaguc leaders today.

Although the fans of this city and | those of the neighboring Connecticut cities are positive that the fifteen round tilt between Silent Martin of New York and Red Ames of Hartford, Conn., which will take place at Hanna’s Armory on the night of Sep- tember 3, is to be a hummer, they should not overlook the semi-final ten round event between Jimmy Rellly, the sixteen vears old New York phenom and Sammy Waltz of Hart- ford. This bout promises to be just as good as the main attraction, as Rellly and Waltz are clever boys, who battle from bell to bell. This is a return match. In their last engagement held in New Britain last summer Rellly had a shade the better of the Hartford featherweight after ten hard rounds. Waltz has been clamoring for a return match and now that he has obtained the op- portunity he is going to show wily Mr. Reilly that he is his master at the game of fistcuffs. On the other hand Reilly declares that he will whip Waltz much easier than he did last time. This bout alone if taken on the fighting ability of the two boys is worth the price of admission to the armory. Both lads are of the kind that don’t know what the word stall means. They fight every minute and are what you could term as crowd pleasers. The men will weigh in Friday even- ing at 6 o'clock at Keevers' cafe at the corner of Main and Commercial streets.
