For years Ty Cobb supreme in baseball. him as the greatest player of all time. "A few years back Father Time started to get in his work and Tyrus the great began to slip a trifie.” That was to be expected. Cobb, despite his greatness, is only human and couldn’t go on forever. Enter George Sisler as the logical successor for Cobb's crown. The great first sacker of the St. Louis ‘Browns had earned the right to the title ‘I the game's pgreatest star, when “an affliction of the eye cut short his career.

There was a difference of opinion on a third flelder, but Wheat of Brooklyn, who is playing o great game this year, won out, Other outficlders to receive fa- vrable mention were “Cy"” Willlams of the Phillies, because of his home-run hitting, and Young and* Meusel of the Glants for their Hependable play. O'Farrell of the Cubs was selected as the most valuable catcher in the league because of his youth, promise and ability, There was a wide dif- ference of opiniam on the pitching question, each official having a cer- tain pitcher who looked best to him. PANTHERS WIN Boys' Basketball Team Takes Open- ing Practice Game From the Hgr- mony Five, Score 18-12, The Panthers’ basketball team won its first practice game of the season when' they stacked up against the Harmonys, a team averaging 25 pounds. The Panthers' pass work had the Harmonys guessing. It was hard to get through the Panthers’ de- fense and most of the shots were made from the center of the floor. The first half ended 8-all. In the second half the Panthers started to play and ended with a score of 18-12 in favor of the Panthers. Aronson who tried out for one of the forward positions was shifted back to guard, Bucheri taking his place at forward. The Panthers used the following lineup: Arburr, gight forward; Bucheri, Kerolizin, left forward; Luke, center; Aronson, right guard; Leven, Goto- waller, left guard. The Panthers will start their sea- son Nov. 6, and will have a fast team for the opining game.

Monte Attell, 15 Yrs. in Ring, Now Totally Blind h. e 10 0 San ‘Francisco, Calif,, Oct. 26— Monte Attell, once a star bantam- weight, whose fame almost equaled that of his more gifted brother, Abe, former holder of the featherweight championship, is stone biind. Monte is now conducting a news- stand ~ here, having becen backed financially by old friends. Attell was in the ring fifteen years. One of his greatest fights was a 42- |round against Frankie Conley at Vernon, Calif, But since the last time was only a year ago, when Murtha's elevén was smothered under a 13-3 drubhing, the desire for a victory this fall is even greater. The morale of the squad is goed. The regulars have a stiff proposition every scrimmage night against the second string men who have a for- midable little team of their own. And in addition, Dr. Irank Zwick, a number of years ago a brilliant play- er at the University of Vermont, comes out frequently to aid in coach- ing the boys. Attell injured his cyes in this fight® and gradually lost his sight entirely. 8! { matter what the result, nobody will | have the right to be much surprised. The vy and Princeton will w the grids in Baltimore. The T ceived a serious jolt yesterday when The Bucknell aggressiveness, before i which Charley O'Hearn, Russed Mul'-l phy and Dick Luman were disabled, was a subject of sharp criticism by many of those at the Bowl on Sat- passed to Frisch. The work of Frankie h in the 1923 series between the Yankees and the Giants was nothing short of re- markable.

He made a dozen seemingly impossiblg plays in the fleld, and at the bat was a constant urce of annoyance to the Yankee pitchers. i i Frisch 18 a natural batsman. He is a shift hitter, In terms of base- ball that means he bats either from “the right or left side of the plate. Frisch prefers to bat left-handed and always does so wh®n a right-handed pitcher opposes the Giants. Against southpaw$ he shifts to the right side of the plate, Real Speed Mercnant, Tt is impossible for the opposition to play for I'risch. 1le is a place hitter, driving the balls to all fields according to the style of the pitch and the position of the opposing out- field. His style is far more grace- ful as a left hander than right. Bat- ting right-handed he assumes a rather peculiar crouch position. Unauestionably ch is the fast- est man in the National league if not both leagues, His only rival in this respect is Archdeacon of the Chicago White Sox, There is little to choose hetween the two, In the field his work is uncanny.

The Harvard varsity has been working up its defense system all week, and will probably need it. Of thesc four headliners the Penn State-West Virginia battle is rece ing the greatest attention. Both are unusually strong. West Virginia has heaten Pittsburgh, and Penn State has overpowered the Navy. Both teams have overpowercd the Navy, both teams have high powered at- tacks, and® the sparks should fly.

The cditorial follows: “Ho far the varsity team and its coaches are concerned, the game at the Bowl last Saturday is probably now forgotten, but unless some re- sponsible protest is made against the tactics of the Bucknell players as be- ing outside of the recognized code of decent sportsmanship, somebody else is likely to suffer besides Yale, as in fact the whole game-of football will suffer if it is to be continued. No- body can object to a hard and rough game if it is a fair one. Last Satur- day's game was full of the kind of thing by the visitors that Yale never experiences with the Army or Brown or Harvard or Princeton or any other | opponent who has won her respect for for fair tactics.
