He was born at Royston, Ga., De- cember 18, 1886 He was secured by Detroit from the Augusta club for $700. He made his debut with Detroit, August 26, 1905, after one year in the minor league. He weighs 175 pounds and is six feet in height. He bats left-handed and throws with his right. His first base ball contract called for a salary of $65 a month. He’s a crack rifle shot. He's an 18k democrat and a great admirer of President Wilson. His parents were strongly opposed to lhis entering professional base ball. He's got a temper like a' stick of dynamite, but behind it is a store- house filled with common sense. He is a stockholder in a bank and TY COBB. also has an interest in a daily news- paper at Augusta. He led the Ameriacn league in bat- ting seven seasons in succession. His base-stealing shows he pilfered seventy-six bases in 1909, eighty-three bases in 1911 and ninety-four in 1915, He has been replaced by a pinch hitter on only one occasion since he joined Detroit. He is happily married and the father of two children. E;een South High Flippers Clean Up On Plattsmouth South High romped all over Platts- mouth for a 66-to-8 victory last eve- ning. Coach Patton’s fast string of crack all-rounders piled up a total of thirty-three baskets and allowed but three by their opponents. From the start the Souths had the jump on the visitors and showed unexcelled abil- ity at shooting baskets. . All but one of the players who went in against the down-river lads had never played basket ball before this season. The Packer coach was con- siderably surprised at the excellent passing, team work and basket shoot- ing. It looked like the South school would amount to a little more than usual this year. The brilliant generalship of Lyman Corr, captain of the Packers, was in a goor{ way responsible for the over- whelming score. Coach Patton shifted Hedgreen, sub center, and Graham, forward, tc the pivot position, trying out both men. Both combinations worked - well. s . Jimmie Etter was onc of the shin- ing lights of the evening. Ray Wilson and Wayne Emigh also played well. Captain Marshall was practically the whole team for the visitors.

Omaha I_Ini Drops First Floor Fray . 0f Year to Dana The Omaha university basket ball quintet lost its first game to Dana col- lege last night by a score of 13 to 24, The game was a speedy one through- out and although it was the first ap- pearance of the teams on the court many sensational throws were made by both sides. Captain Hansen of the Dana five began piling up scores for the Blair- ites as soon as the ball was in play and kept up the good work through- out the first half. Omaha’s flippers were helpless in the strong arms of their opponents and although they often got the ball thecy were not able to aim it into the basket. The score at the end of the first half was 17 to 5 in favor of Dana. At the beginning of the second half the tables turned for a few min- utes. Mark Lowe, who took Thomp- son’s place, aided Leach in some classy team work and in no time at all Omaha's score was increased by six points. From this point on the teams played a rather close game, alternating the gains. During the last three minutes of the game the Omaha boys started to play so ener- getically that they forgot all about rules and as a result Hansen of the Dana team got to throw three free baskets.

The alleys were in splendid shape and some excellent exhibitions of bowling were furnished the large crowd which packed the place to the doors. The State Journal company team of Lincoln rolled into first place, with a score of 2,823, thanks to the work of our own George Zimmerman, who led in totals, with 611. Following right on their heels the fast Metz team chalked up a score of 2,781, The | Home Restaurants grabbed off third | | honors, with 2,742.

All the stars entered in the five-men event will | again appear in these in addition. to a big flock of local sharks who did | not participate in the five event and also a few cxtra stars who came along with the visiting teams. Local followers of the game are loud in their praise of the new alley ‘r_stahlishm:nt which they claim is the | | finest layout they have ever scen. Their views were augmented by those of the visiting contingent of bowlers, | and as all have been attending tourna- mentd all over the country for years during which time they have seen the best scts of alleys in the country, they |} can be considered as expert authority on the subject. With ten new polished alleys with- out a post or obstruction to break the wide expanse and a twenty-five foot ceiling from which there is an excel- lent lighting system a picture is pre- sented which is pleasing to the eye of | any one whether or not they are in- terested in the bowling game.

STORMY SESSION IS HELD Seattle, Wash., Dec. 17.—The direc- tors of the Pacific Northwestern Base Ball league held a stormy meeting to- day, at which President Robert Ble- wett offered his resignation. President D. E. Dugdale of the Seattle club threatened to leave the ieague and a motion to drop the Montana cities was defeated. The resignation of President Ble- wett upon which the directovs took no action was offered at the close of a session marked by differences of opinion. Late tonight the directors were still in session and had arrived at no conclusion on the next season-s policy of the league. According to members who attend- ed this afternoon’s meeting each di- rector found fault with the manage- ment of the league during the last season. The crisis that resulted in the resignation of the president came dur- ing an argument over whether Mon- day should be traveling day for the teams. Butte and Great Falls insisted that Seattle was working against the Montana members. A motion to drop the Montana towns from the league was defeated. A motion to penalize Seattle because of poor attendance | during the last season was carried, whereupon Dugdale declared it was a matter of indifference to him what ac- tion the league took. D. E. Dugdale, the Seattle magnate who threatened to leave the league, is a former Omaha man, He used to play on the old Union Pacific team here in the eighties.
