The 6ky was the limit for McNeeley. l’eachev and Mounce and the Deadlier Monograms triumphed over the Clamon Bros, after a warm encounter. 1 Patterson and the Faust kid got 225 and 222 scores, respectively, in their third game for the damans and gave them their only win. J Ferner’s Tigers didn’t have anything but a desire and the O’Douncl Transfers gave them a pair of good lacings. Every one of the Block Opticians got a pair of 200 counts, but at that they had a hard time trouncing the Graber quintet. In the first game the Blocks got a 1,010 total and the Grabers got a 1,000. No world’s records were smashed in the Elk No. 2 loop last night. Miller of the Adrenlins went big in the onegame class with a 198.

Two Turfmen Ruled Off for Life for Trying . to Ruin Horse’s Chance NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 27.—After an investigation which extended for more than a week, Joseph A. Murphy, Francis Nelson, J. R. Campbell and Sam Nuckols. Jr., active stewards of the Business Men’s Racing association, landed two of ! the "sponge stuffers’’ for the Courtship I “job” on Feb. 16, and ruled them off the ! turf for life. The men banished are R, Burkley and Benny Crouch, along with the horses Grove A. and Hidden Jewel, their joint property. The investigation has not been completed The stewards admitted today that Crouch and Burkley are the only men that they have been able to obtain evidence against In connection with the ••job." Two other suspects are being ; shadowed by detectives employed by the stewards, and there Is a chance that , they, too, may be ruled off the turf Just i as soon as testimony now in the hands of the stewards can be confirmed. The “sponge-stuffing job' - of Courtship 1 is the first for which any one has been penalized since the resumption of racing iin Louisiana. The "sponge stnffers” In this particular instance "double-crossed” themselves. Owner MarshuU discovered that there was something wrong with Courtship on the day of the race, and : finally called a veterinary surgeon, who j took the sponges out of the nostrils of Courtship, the horse going on and winning the race, in which Crouch and Burkley believed he would finish last.

Cobb Declining in Speed Work , but He 9 8 Still Best in Game Jennings Says Ty Does Not Make Quite the Bases He Used To. A recent remark by Hughle Jennings, manager of the Detroit Tigers, to the effect that Ty Cobb, baseball's greatest star, has lost some of hts speed, has caused a lot of discussion around big league baseball circles. “Cobb still is baseball’s greatest player,” said Hughle, “but I believe he is beginning to slow up a bit. I think last season I began to notice that Ty didn’t make aulte the bases he used to.” Cobb s official batting average does not indicate that he has gone back. The mark of .384 la his highest since 1913. when he lilt .390. The consistency of Cobb is remarkable when one notes liow his batting seldom varies more than a few points r year. He hit .383 In 1017, .382 In 1918, and .384 in 1919. In the three years prior to that bis average varied only three points. He hit .369 in 1914, .370 In 1915 and 371 in 1910. When one looks over Cobb's 1919 stolen base record, however, the Justification of Jennings’ remark may be recognized. Cobb stole oniy twenty-eight bases last season, bis lowest number since 1900. when he played regularly only part of the season. His steady decllno In speed for the last five years may be noted from his stolen base records. While his batting averages varied only a few points, his base stealing shrank from ninety-eight bases in 1915 to twentyeight in 1919. The down grade may be noted as follows: 1915. 98; 1916, 08; 1917, 55; 1918, 34; 3919. 28. In the same time Cobb lost much of his value as a run getter. In 1915 he scored 144 runs, a figure he has beaten only once in his career, in 1911. when he hit .420. In 1910 he scored 113 runs, and in 1917 he carried over 107. In 1918 he took part in only 111 games and scored eighty-three runs. Last season
