Ty's first triple was on April 26th off Otto Hess, of the Naps. His first home run was pitched to Aim by Cy Halkenberg, of Washing- ton, on Sept." 23rd, 1905.

Ty figured in his first double play Sept. 14th, 1905, while the Tigers were playing Cleveland. He caught & terrific Jiner and shot it to second base, beating the runner in the race back to the bag. The double in question retired the side and en- abled "Wild: Bill" Donovan to score a shutout against the Ohioans. Only once did a pinch hitter take Colbib's place, and that time was on a. freak. When his umps an- nounced 'Payne now batting for Cobb" on May 30th, 1906. Ty had hit safely in 31 out of his last 32 games. "Doc" White was pitching. Ty always admitted that Addie Joss and "Doc" White were the two pitchers he feared most of all. In the 25 games that Joss faced him, Ty could only hit 'White for an average of .253. While he hit White for .335 in 46 games, doing his hest hitting toward the end of White's career. Cobb played in 17%games daring threé world's series, and hit, the pitching of "Miner" Brown, "Babe" Adamas, Jack Pfeister and others for 12 singles, four doubles and one Ty has faced over 200 pitchers during his 13 years in the American league and foumd "Bullet" Joe Bush the softest of them all, for he nicked his olerings for .4174. . He hit Bddie Plank for .340 in 62 games, and he touched Walter Johnson's cannon ball for .326 in 50 contests. Cob got five hits in a single world's series game. - It was off Jack 'Pleister during 1908. Cobb got four hits in a game 41 times during 13 years, hk for an average of .262. Ed. Walsh 8 s Ty holds the major league record of hitting safely in . consecutive games, for in 1911 he got 80 hits in 40 straight games, when Ed, Walsn stopped him during the morning game of July 4th. 1566 games.

Both Cobb aid Craw- nN Cobb played in every game which]. "I the Tigers engaged in during 1915, ford went to bat seven times in that game without making a hit, Cobb's busiest day in the field was Sept. 20th, 1911. He chased and caught 10 flies; he also scored three runs and hit a double and two triples outside of that he did not do a Xhing.

Lee Fohl, manager of the Cleve- land Indians, believes his team will finish third. "Pitchers is what I need," Fohl declared. "Two strong, husky hea- vers are drawlpg Cleveland pay cheques, and they're nearly \pr quite equal anything in the league. Bag- by and Covaleskie would look good in any American League uniform. 'But right there the resemblance to a championship pitching staff ends. Lambeth can twirl cleverly at times, byt not enough time to make him a star. Klepfer has been an in-and-outer. Gould needs development, and . Joe Wood is still in the experimental stage. Guy Morton has made noises like a comeback, and if he ever suc: ceds in making it stick the Indians will be far more troublesome than the bearers of their names have been for some years. Fohl, aside from a pitching staff, has a team that would be figured a pennant possibility. He has a fine outfield, one of the best catchers in the game, and an infield that ranks with the best. Harris, first base- man, is devolping into a star.
