Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, June 15. —1 t seems the world was mistaken and that while a fish may not be able to live out of water old Tying Raymond Cobb still manages to breathe in a fairly normal way without a baseball bat in his hands. The fact is old Tyrus who left the game abruptly last fall after twenty-four years of cyclonic play tells you he’s happy, that he's triad he quit and that never again will be play baseball. “I thought it wa* going to be hard to give it up" said Ty as he sat in his suite in a mid town hotel Friday, "hut I found it wasn't. nun WHEN THE BOYS BEGAN I FAYING FOR THE CAMP 6 IN FEBRUARY I GOT A LITTLE RESTLESS.

You could sense, too. a note of tragedy in the situation. a genius with ambitious wings stripped of all power and pinned to the earth under the weight of years.

Great stars have flashed in the past. Great stars will flash and fade in years to rome. Rut there has been only one Cobb and the chances are it will be generations before there is another. Somehow it is a little harder to shake hands with him at the exit gate than the others who went before. a a a THE HISTORY OF THE MODFRN GAME CAN BF WRITTEN AROUND THF COBB THAT BROKE IN WITH DETROIT AS THE GAME'S MOST ARROGANT RUSHER IN 190S AND STEPPED OUT OF THE LINF UP. A SEDATE. MIDDLE AGED. MILLIONAIRE WITH THE ATHLETICS IN 1928. nan PRACTICALLY all the records of the game belong to him. both as a batter and a base runner. No other player ever played in as many games, made as many hits, scored as msttiy runs or stole as many bases. In 1915 he stole ninety-six bases. This is more, incidentally, than any one team in the National League stole all last season. a tt a No et of figures, however, can possibly pin to paper the mercurial personality of the Georgian who played the game with a relentless daring and intensity that has never been equaled. a a a HE WAS ONE or THE GENUINELY GREAT ATHLETES OF AT.L TIMF AND HE HAP LEFT THF.

high hopes that Columbia may successfully repel the California invasion in the Poughkeepsie regatta. That view adds tremendously to the interest in the race. But just the same it is hard to see how the California crew, with seven men intact from last year, and the new man in the bow supposedly better than last year's man. can be beaten. The Golden Bears' victories a year ago at Poughkeepsie over Yale on the Schuylkill, and over the crack English crew at Amsterdam, are still fresh in the minds of rowing enthusiasts. The only possible weakness the crew may have is its coxswain. Those on the inside claim that California's coxswain last year was a bundle of nerves, fire and personality. with a great voice and a fine intuitive sense of pace. They claim that he was laregly responsible for the success of the California crew, and that this year without him Columbia has a great chance to win. We shall see. GETTING MAX’S GOAT?

Henri Cochet, Jean Boroj tra and Jacques Brugnon. the great- | est quartet of tennis players ever I grouped on a Davis Cup team since i the break-up of American supremacy on the courts. Before the current, season opened, the French had the tennis blues, and had ’em bad. La Coste had announced his retirement to go into his father’s automobile business. Borotra’s business kept him from the courts. Cochet, was badly off j form in the winter tournaments and Brugnon was believed to be aging and slowing up. Hence it was with troubled mien i the French tennis federation looked around for replacements. And then i the “Four Musketeers” came to life. “Business can wait,” said La Coste. who then proceeded to step out and win the championship of France just to show he was as good as ever. Borotra agreed and smashed his way through to the finals of the championship at Paris and carried La Coste to five desperately fought sets. Cochet is rounding into form and Brugnon will be there when they call for the doubles teams on the second day of play. The “Four Musketeers” will be in the Davis Cup challenge round. It’s up to the American team to see that, it gets there to meet them.

June 15.—Clyde Van Dusen. the Man O War colt, which won this year's Kentucky Derby, was the outstanding favorite of turf fans gathered here today for the *50,300 American Derby.

Babe Ruth Says: ‘You Can't Keep Me Away From the Stadium.'

NEW YORK. June 15.—Illness has kept, me out of the game for awhile, but it can’t keep me away from that ball park much longer and I'll soon be right in there. I was at the Stadium last Sunday to see the Yankees wallop the Browns and by the time the game was over I was about

Lou s funny that way. He doesn't seem to realize he's a star. He's too darn modest. I guess it's what the i professors call an inferiority com- | plex. Tough Luck Yarn Anyhow, when I walked into the clubhouse Lou was right on my neck with a tough luck story about, how bad lie's been going and how much of a bust, he'd been for a fen weeks. I laughed at him. but when he continued to mope around I landed on him proper and gave him a swell calling down. I really think the things I said helped because he perked up. It was funnier than, ever to see him do his stuff. He hit two home runs, drove in three tallies ana was as happy as a kid when it was over. It. just goes to show that while the hits that win ball games out on the field are the ones that count there's another angle to baseball, and that is the spirit that’s In you. I’ve been around baseball a. long time and I'm saying you can’t, get a winning team out, of fellows who take off their baseball along with their uniforms. Ball Players Give me the fellow who comes in cussing when he makes an error or strikes out in a pinch. You’de be surprised how many fellows we ha'.o like that, And the ones you'd least expect, it, of. too. Herb Pennoek is like tha.fc. When Herbie loses a tough game he’s sore at the whole world, including himself. He gets good and mad. So does Bob Meusel, Ea.rl Combs, Tony Lazeri and a lot of the other boys. That’s one of the things that! makes the Yankees a great, ball club. They don't quit. They carry the* old fighting spirit right out, of the clubhouse to the ball field.
