ENTERTAINED THE YANKEES
By H. C. HAMILTON (Uulted Pre33 Stcff Correspondent.) XEW YORK Aug. 16. Whether Ty Cubb is losing his title as king of baseball' players isn't entirely demonstrated by his tremendous batting average for tho year. On a recent Visit to New Tork. Cobb, besides doing most of the bas-cball hammering, pulled a play or two that by sheer audacity simply stunned Yankees and spectators alike. Ty had driven out a home run and then had singled. He went to second base, and when Veach reached first base the two of them worked a double steal, leaving Cobb on third and Veach on second. On a ball hit to the infield by Burns. Cobb sprinted for the plate and Veach for third. Cobb saw ha couldn't make it and easily beat Walters' throw to third, only to find that Veach was there also. Waiters completely lost his head and, dashing to third, he tagged both runners, putting Veach out. Then he saw Burns wildly footing it for second, and, forgetting the plate was unoccupied, whipped the ball to second to get Burns. That was Cobb's cue. Like a flash he was up and off. He was within ten feet of the plate before Walters knew what was going on, and scored with no trouble. Sam Crawford, the Detroit veteran, did not make the last trip east. Hugh Jennings has decided to keep him out of the game for all time, reserving him only for pinch hitting duty. Connie Mack 'recently declared that Cruise and Hornsby of the Cardinals are the finest looking young players in baseball. He predicted that Hornsby eventually would attain the same degree of excellence voted Jack Barry. Dave Robertson is back as a regular in the Giant outfield, in spite of the good start made by Joe wr.hoit. who v.-as sent in to fill Robertson's place.
Confidence is prevalent in the Peerless camp that they will scalp the
meteoric Masked Marvels of when they meet next Sunday
where' in Indiana Harbor. With the team materially strengthened by the addition of "Brochy" Madura, famous Gopher fullback, the Peerless expect an easy victory over the Marvels. Not
only is the team strengthened physical- '
Jy but also mentally, for with this athlete behind the plate a more even balance is secured. He has a splendid throw, a sure eye and above all an active attitude while in action. His unusual ability coupled with his daring will be the initiative to many victories and he will more than retrieve the sharp sting of last Sunday's defeat, which was partly lost through the errors occurlng around the catcher's box. The Peerless A. C. are desirious of securing a return game with the Hessville team at Ec.st Chicago. If they see this article please write to John Buckley, 4335 Olco'.t avenue. East Chicago, Ind.
Chuck Wortman of the Cubs seems
doomed for the minors, or else mere
utility infieldtr.g duty for the Cubs. His fielding .of the flashiest sensational
I sort, may hold him in the major?, but
Chicago! j,js hitting jS too woefully weak to be

tained from the Giants, is a far better hitter, and excellent fiielder and a fast base-runner.

WHITE SOX WILL HAVE TD PLAY BILL
By H. C. HAMILTON (United Press Staff Correspondent.) XEW TORK. Aug. 15. Beginning right now the White Sox will have to play the best ball they so far have displayed if they manage to get into the world's series. Finishing the series with Cleveland they will go home for a stay until Sept. 3. when they play a doubleheader with Detroit. Then they hit the road for the rest of the season, with the exception of three days scheduled at home. They manage to slip in some postponed contests on off days in that period, but they will not be enough to count for much. During the same period the White Sox are at home the Red Sox wilt be on their last big trip, although they are scheduled for a short wing later. Boston will finish the season at home, a fact which is a decided advantage for Jack Barry's men. There still are left two clashes between the two clubs, one at Chicago and one at Boston. The latter may be the series that will decide the th ra'-e. for it Mill b" played in the.
campaign's closing days, beginning Sept. 21 and Including Sept. 24. Every eastern club and two from the western wheel will visit Chicago in the home series they are about to start. Later they will entertain another of the westerners for a brief period. The Red Sox should be favorites if the race sticks to anything like a close decision, for they are driving, nerveless finishers. They beat out the Whitn Sox and the Tigers last year while crippled and while on the road. The Chicagoans are stronger this year, but they have yet to prove their consistency under stress of a tight wind-up.
Harry Greb of Pittsburgh is rapidly forging to the front as a logical man to meet Mike Gibbons. His recent defeat of Jack Dillon and subsequent brilliant performances give him an edge over any boxer row clamoring for a chance at Gibbons. Jeff Smith is still in the ring, but has. for the time being, ceased to be considered as Gibbon's opponent The return cf Jimmy Clabby from Australia, already reported, would give promoters a chance to get Gibbons back into action. A bout between this pair of speed merchants would be a real card.
