BRAVES SMASH ALONG CM's Boys Use Deadly Stick

DISPOSING OF REDLEGS

IN HURRIED FASHION

BOSTON, May 20. Showing complete inefficiency in nearly all branches of the pastime the Reds succumbed to the Braves again Thursday in a brief and hurried contest, losing their sixth successive- game by the score of 5 to 1, and dropping to within a few points of the cellar. Marquard, on the bill for Moran was hit rather hard and was greatly handicapped by the poor fielding of Kopf at second, who had a bad day and was responsible for three of the Boston five tallies. Watson hurled fine ball for the Braves and was in trouble in only one round when the Reds scored their lone run. Bohne singled and went to third when Watson threw the ball into center field trying for a force out on Kopf's hit to the box. Paskert attempted to bunt but popped a fly and Kopf was doubled off first. Duncan then crashed a triple into center. The score:

By FRAMC G. MEN KB What a pity that Ty Cobb doesn't possess at least one super-twirler or, .t worst, a staff which could be tertmjd strong by Use severest of critics!

So blessed, it probably wouldn't be a race in the American league just! a walkover for the Jungaleers. For if hitting only was necessary to win ball games, those Tigers would be so

! far out in front right now that it

would take months of the most terrific spurting by their closest rivals to near them. Led by the "Southern Typhoon" those Detroit athletes have been hitting at the most terrific clip imaginable. A dozen safeties pep combat has become an ordinary accomplishment. They have been battxeing down fences, breaking pitchers' hearts and running rival outfielders into physical collapse since the season began. But what has it availed? Blooie Goes Game. If the Tigetwatsmiths "spot" their own pitcher six or eight runs, he promptly yields seven or nine to the enemy. And blooie, blooie goes the combat! "I'm still mighty hopeful about that pitching staff," comments Cobb. "The

boys are doing about as well as I ex-J

peciea ior so eany in tne season. Warm weather is almost upon us. The arms will thaw out by that time and then we'll break into the winning column oftener."

The attack of the Tigers this season is an awesome thing to behold. And the most fearsome unit from the rival twirlers' viewpoint is none other than Cobb himself. Cobb's work so far has been ono of the most spectacular things this year or any other year. Usually a slow starter usually a clubber who doesn't hit his real stride until June or July the veteran of the American league has been smashing with frightful violence, running bases like a wild man and covering an acre of ground in the outfield. Mighty Athlete. No man in the harness today Is playing a game like the mighty Georgian. So for he has displayed the most wonderful spring dash of his career. And, mind you, this is the year when the after effect of 1920 illness and accident, plus 17 major league baseoalling years, were supposed to have sounded his death knell as a meteoric athlete. At 34 Cobb is playing the most spec

tacular early game of his spectacular career. Why? How is it that Cobb has come back this spring with a hur

ricane rusu after a season in which illness forced him 40 notches back of his average clouting mark of .370? It's 'the Cobbian will to triumph; the Cobbian knowledge that now as a

leader he is expected to show the way. And he is showing it. He, is leading

the attack for his club in inspiring fashion. The whole team, imbued by the splendid never-say-die" spirit of the leader, is crashing and battering its way to.ethereal heights in swatdom. But the pitching of the Tigermen so far well, that's a tale different in its entirety. The Tigers so far bare shown weak in what is the vital part of a ball club. Cobb Undisturbed. Yet Cobb remains undisturbed about it. My hope is to land my team beyond that of the Tigers of 1920" he comments. "I think we'Ido that." And the Tigers echo to a man: "We'll do it." For, strange as it may seem to some who never have known the real Ty Cobb, the great Georgian, is immensely popular with his players. They are with him to the limit. They are giving the best they've got and beyond just to show appreciation for Ty Cobb. He's the best boss any ball club ever had." is the unanimous comment of the Tigers. "He's 100 per cent.

asks nothing of any man that he isn't willing to do himself. He never tries to assert his manege rial power. Ho treats us like human beings not as cogs in a machine. And we're willing to go to hell and back again to show him our gratitude. (Copyrl.bt 1921 By Kin- Featnrea Syadleate. Inc.?

EARLHAM'S CHANGES MAY BE AFFECTED BY ENLARGING MEET

According to the latest reports from the officials of the I. C. A. L. track meet there will be other Indiana colleges represented in the track and field classic Saturday afternoon, beside the five regular members. It was stated Friday that' invitations had been sent out to the following colleges to participate in the meet: Hanover,

N. A. G. U., of Indianapolis; Evans ville, Goshen, and North Manchester. Whether this addition to the list of entries will make any material difference in the final outcome of the meet is hard to determine, but it is certain that there are a few stars lurking within the folds of these institutions that may be able to make away with a few first places. The larger number of entries also will make the track more crowded in some of the races and will necessitate more heatsbeing run in the dashes and hurdles. The Butler track Is not particularly well suited to a large

meet of this kind for there are only four lanes on the straight away and the cinder oval measures five laps to the mile. The Earlham athletes are all in condition and are expecting to give a good account of themselves on the Butler oval. They leave for Indianap

olis Saturday morning at 8:00 o'clock in automobiles.

Chips and Slips

Although the major league seat-on is only a few weeks old, the Brooklyn team has established a season's rord which is not likely, to be equalled again between now and next October, w hen the curtain is drawn on baseball. The record consists of winning fourteen consecutive games on the home grounds. Uncle Robbie's team made a poor start at home by losing to the Braves on April 17. bat mere than atoned for this failure by winning consistently until May 3, when the Reds

iook tne nnai game of a series. Between these two setbacks the Flutbush fans had the pleasure of seeing the Robins take three in succession from the Braves, four from the Giants, three from the Phillies, then an odd game from the Giants and finally three straight from the Reds. .

its comfort MAKES FRIENDS of OWNERS

Good upholstery alone cannot constitute comfort. Other factors must be included. WhUe in the PILOT comfort comes piRECTLY from the luxurious seats, ample leg room and bouyant springs; INDIRECTLY it comes from the ease of handling, smooth performance, and sense of comfort. There are many details which contribute to the sum total of your sense of physical relaxation and mental ease when ridipg at slow or high speed in the PILOT. But greater than all is the freedom hot only from bodily fatigue, but the complete mental

abandon of any concern about the car's ability and reliability, at all times, under all conditions. For those who love the better things of life, who know that mediocrity can be an extravagance as well as can over-spending, who want their motor car to be something more than an cngine-on-wheels, we urgevou to investigate" the PILOT. We are confident that we can show you there is no greater value per dollar on the market. The ECONOMY of OWNING a PILOT, together with the COMFORT of DRIVING a PILOT, are reasons why it makes friends of its owners.
