Ty Made st on S8cratch Hit and Then Stele Three Bases. Tn the February American maga- xine appears a page entitled Two Qlimpses of Ty Cobb. One of the storles told is the following, which relates how the great Detroit ball player—perhaps the greatest pla: er in the world—made a lucky scratch hit and then scored on three stolen bases: s “The greatest baseball play 1 ever saw occurred in u game between the Pailadelphia \Athleties_and the De- o gers in Shibe park, Philadel- phia, June, 1913. T “Ty Cobb, his first time up, hit a | nasty grounder toward first base. The | ball had a deceptive bound and Stufty McInnes had some trouble reaching for it and keeping hold of the ball when he got it. But he managed to scram- ble over and touch first Jast as Ty raced over the bag. Connle Mack's loyal rooters declared the Georgia | Poach out by a mile, but the umpire | had idews of his own and Tyrus rested safely on the initial sack. “The unexpected usually happens when this star swatsman 13 running | bases, and on this occasion he did not disappoint his admirers. After the pitcher had thrown the ball, Ty, hav- ing a fairly good lead, decided to | amble along down to second, figuring, no doubt, that Lapp (the Athletic catcher) would be taken off his guard and throw wild. To try for second after @ catcher of Lapp's ability has | the ball requires nerve of o high order. | Ho s usually there with the perfect peg; but the sight of Cobb jogging along was too much for him and he heaved the ball into center field. Cobb saw Barry crouched In front of the base waiting as if to receive the ball, 80, gathering speed, he made one of his famous bent leg slides and landed behind the bag. Then, seeing that the ball had gone to center fleld, he start- ed for third base at top speed. Some- one, I think it was Collins, made a beautiful throw to Home Run Baker, who stabbed Cobb with the ball as that well known gentleman was in the act of sliding head first for the third haven of rest. “The crowd groansd when the um- pire motioned Cobb safe at third. | ‘While admiring his nervy exhibition, | the fans really wanted the dangerous fellow disposed of, and he had reach- od third by the closest kind of a mar- sin. “T'y slapped the dust from his toge | and, as usual, ran several feet up the path toward home each time the pitch- er started to wind up. .The batter had now gathered two strikes, and with the next windup Cobb raced for the plate at full speed, sliding with great force against Lapp, who was waiting for him with the ball. Buat the throw had been a little too high and the catcher was taken off his feet before he could touch the daring base runner, “Cobb therefore stole three bases after having reached first by 2 fuoky scratch hit and made the first run of the game before the next batter up bad hit the ball” CIGARETTES HURT ATHLETES.

Says He Will Produce a Cablegram That Will Bring Serious Charge on Murphy. New York, Feb, 18.—If Joe Tinker| will produce a cablegram which he| says he recoived from C. W. Murphy, | was_in Burope when he learned | that tha shortstop had been sold to! Cincinnati for $25,000, the National league men will bring a| charge against the Cubs’ owner. When | Tinker was here the other day he said: “Murphy cabled me to have nothing to do with the Brooklyn club until 1| had heard from him.

If | not he will be asked to get a copy from the cable company, Thera is some | doubt, however, as to Tinker's real attteuds toward Murphy.

New England in 1914 and California in 1915 is the pregram which will be followed by thousands of motoriats in thelr summer vacation tours of the next two years. New England ap- peals because of its tree-covered mountatns, generally travelable roads, and innumerable lakes and seashore Tesorts. Hence it is that a consider- able attendance is expected at the A A. A, mid-summer meeting, Which will take place in the White Mountains, and on which a special committee ap- pointed by President John A. Wilson is now at work. The Maine Automoblle assoctation has in mind a summer gathering, and an effort will be made to amalgamate with the meeting of the national association. Vermont and Massachusetts are discussing similar plans. It has been suggested to the com- mittee in charge that the A. A, A. member who comes the farthest dis- tance should be rewarded by the pos- session of the Glidden trophy during the coming vear. Chairman L. Speare is taking up this matter with Charles J.Glidden, donor of the fa- mous trophy and it is expected that the latter will acquiesce in the change of the deed of gift, for it was his orig- inal idea to encourage touring to the fullest extent. According to official _statistics just published, there were 4665 automobiles and 751 trucks in Switzerland on April 30 last. Of the number, 1132 cars and 32 trucks were in use in Geneva, and 316 cars and 212 trucks in Zurich. Re- markable to relate, however, motor- cyclers in the mountain-bound republic outnumber the cars, there bDeing 4954 of the little two-wheelers. Of the cars 52.9 per cent were equipped with mo- tors of from 11 to 20 horse-power. One of the factors in the growth of the Federation of American Motor- cyclists, is the Touring Bureau, which was established a littie more than a year ago. At present there are 25,668 members in the F. A. M. And many of those who have come into the fold in the past year have done so because of the advantages offered through the Tour- ing Bureau. Every motorcyclist wants to take a jong tour. Maybe he can't do it this year, but he wants to make his plans, find out the best routes e- tween given cities, and the time of year when certaln roads are in best condi- tion. And the Touring Bureau offers him this opportunity. With the aid of the Bureau, he can h the exact route of his tour all laid out before he starts on the trip. Many of the routes mapped out by the Touring Bureau have been pre- pared directly from information gath- ered by pathfinders who have covered the territory. As vet the Bureau has not been able to get much information from every section, but it is constantly | working to that end. And as rapidly as new data is sscured it is copied and listed. In addition to securing data con- cerning roads the rider can also get from the Touring Bureau. information relative to licenses in various coun- tries, state speed regulations, lighting reguirements and shipping regulations in various sections. Also news about hotels along the routes. A bill is pending in the New Jersey Legislature, which takes into consid- eration not only the horse power, but the weight of an automobile in fixing the amount of taxation. It also pro- vides that the moneys derived from | | motor car taxation sha!l be applied rond work after the amount MecesSary | for the upkeep of the Motor Vehicle ! Department has been deducted. Con- cerning this new law, Job H. Lippin- cott, Commissioner of Motor Vehicles sald recently: é “The Motor Vehicle bill now pending before the Legislature, together With the Dbl exempting automobiles from personal taxation, has the support of the Administration. It takes into ac- count, in determining the amount of feo pald for registration, not omly the question of horse power, but of welgBt and determines upon a much more scientific basis than at present the probable damage which any given | vehicle could do to our roads. The amount of revenue is apportioned on such a basi§ that the small and cheap car will not have an undue burden placed upon its owner; in fact, the present schedule of fees charged under this act will not be greater than the amount of the present registration fee plus the personal tax. It can readily be seen that the Te- sult of this bill, with the elimination of the autcmobile from personal taxa- tion, will provide a large revenue, all of which will e apolied for road pur- poses, and will therefore be distributed much’ more satisfactorily than the total revenue now received by the Govern- ment from motor vehicles. It has bee: a well known fact fc some time that the grading of fees i accordance wit’ horsepower did not ring about t result desired, and the element ¢ weight was equally important with the horse power of the engine.
