Lee Fohl, manager of the Cleve- land Indians, a team that has been spoken of frequently in connection with the winning of the 1919 Ameri- can league pennant, gave out a state- ment the other day that he needed another pitcher. Then why doesn't he turn around and take a slant at his outfield? = Did you know that ef a To clean your AutoStrop Razor simply put the razor under the tap and blade from the razor.

Jack Graney started with the In- dians as a pitcher in 1908, but stuck his throwing paw in front of a hard batted ball. He was shifted to the outfield and made good. Joe Woods for years was the. pre- mier pitcher of the Red Sox. Jamieson broke into the American League as a pitching recruit for the Senators. He didn't make good, so was -developed into an outfielder. Tris Speaker pitched a game for the Red Sox nedr the end of the 1915 season. : Elmer Smith has been pitching 'grenades at the Huns the ast year, and when the Americans and Huns weren't on the fleld, Elmer pitched for his company's {eam mn Harness Racing Will Boom.

A circuit comprising several one- day meetings is being arranged in Western Ontario, while in Eastern Ontario Kingston is holding a meet- ing on June 3 and Picton is having a meeting on May 24th. "Belleville is putting on 'Mhreeqdrents of $400 purses on June 3. 3 Galt is also talking of having a two-day meeting beginning on Viec- toria Day. - Town League.

SPRING TRAINING USELESS, Cobb, Who Never Goes to Camp, Ex- plains Statement, Ty Cobb has passed through an- other spring training siege and still frowns on this feature of baseball. It's all wrong, in his opinion. = Cobb believes that southern trips are un- necessary, that better results could be accomplished at home in shorter time and at a considerable saving financially. It is because of these firm convie- réporting each spring as long as pos- sible, 'and not that he thinks he should be favored and escape work forced on other players. "Four and five weeks' drilling, with two sessions almost daily, is carrying conditioning to extremes, and = the strain is so great that a player is weakened," said Cobb in an inter- view at Detroit. "This 1s shown often long before the close of the regular season, when players begin to go stale and lack the snap which characterized their play earlier. They spend too much of their energy before the season opens. "There's an excuse for rushing a boxer and putting him to the limit during his training. 'He is prepar- ing for one, or at the most two or ree contests, and must have reach- ed~the highest point of physical fit- ness when he enters the ring.. If it is a ten-round Bout he has about thirty minutes of fast work before him." $ This also applies to football men, Cobb showed, pointing out that when they train it is for a short season of about two months, with an eight game schedule considered heavy. "It is different in baseball," sajd '| Cobb. "Here the player faces a sea son of almost six months, with games daily. His endurance powers are tested to the limit- while playing the schedule, and to precede the season with a month of hard work in the South is expecting too much of him." Ty believes that one reason he has been so successful is that he has avoided much of this spring drudg- ery often beginning slowly as a nat- ural consequence, but finishing much .|stronger generally from August on than most of his rivals. He has more in reserve then and is at his best when ball games count the most if the club should be in the race, Cobh sees a solution of the spring training problem if players take bet- ter care of themselves in winter, and indulge in mild outdoor, 'exercise. Then, according to Ty, long training would not be necessary, but instead just enough work to strengthen the arma and Jegs and build up the "wind. » % po "George Burns, first baseman of the Philadelphia Athletics, was married recently to Miss Marion R.
