Ty Cobb, whose appearance at the plate 1§ abaut as welcome-t0 oppos ing pitchers as the lea is to the Senate foreign relations committee thas practically clinched the batting crown of the American League again this year. Gaining ten points last week, Cobb is rated at .381, according to the latest averages, and stands some thir- ty points ahead of Joe Jackson. his rival slugger, the hope of the White Sox fans. With only two weeks to go, Cobb should have no trouble in holding his lead. Babe Ruth, with ninety-five, leads in runs, twenty-six of which were home runs. Rousch, of the Reds, . maintains his lead in the National, but he has not as yet clinched his honors. He is hitting .319 and is being pressed for honors by Groh, a fellow and Hornsbyl, of the Car- Eddie Cicotte, -of the White Sox and of the Reds, the two pit s who e likely to clash in the opening gamre of the world's se- Mes, are leading pitchers to date. allee SOME DISGRUNTLED FANS.

The prosecuting attorney of Cin- cinnati has been asked by fans to pro- ceed against the owners of the Reds for alleged profiteering in arranging prices for reserved seats at the world's series games in that city. One of the protesting fans has writ- ten this letter to the authorities: "It is: evident that * profiteering ts now going on ir the advance sale of tickets. The prices are 400 per. cent. higher than those charged for the regular games. "The idea in the plan of drawing lots ought to be the subject of a grand jury investigation.

With the Reds and the White Sox close to "'sure things" as.the season's pennants winners, dopesters are watching the work of the two teams in the final stretch to get a line on the world's prospects. If the work of the two leaders the past week is to be taken as'an indi- cation the cash of the doubtful ones will lean toward the White Sox. Maybe Morah-is easing up his boys 'in the stretch, perhaps the absence of Heinle Groh has upset the club. But the Reds slumped badly last week. Their batting was 'way off form with the poorest stick work of the league. Out of the seven games they won only four. On the other hand, Gleason kept up his whirlwind pace. In six games the White Sox- won five. The. club was third in team hitiing for the week and, was brilliant in the field, only one error. Their work for the week was not only the best in the American League, but outshone any- thing in the older organization. -------------------- TO REVIVE UNION.

But he never reached the other side, for he died in mid-ocean--a fate which also over- took Kingeraft, winner of the Derby two years later, Fitzroy, for a half-share in whom Sir Frederick Johnstone paid £4,000, broke down so badly in a race at Newmarket that he had to be de- stroyed; and the great Donovan after winning the enormous sum of £55,- | 163 in stakes for the Duke of Port- | land, injured himself so seriously, by dashing into a tree while running | loose in his paddock, that Mr. H.

But while some race horses thus reach the pinnacle of efuine fame, only to end in tragedy and disgrace, there are many others who rise from obscurity to brilliant careers, and close their days with an honor- able and honored old age. Godolphin, ancestor of the famous Eclipse, spent his early years between the shafts of a Paris watercart; and Flying Childers, the finest horse of his century in the opinion of many, was rescued to fame from the shafts of a country mail-cart, in which he had been doing useful, if obscure, | work for years. t Chandler, hero of the Grand Na- | tional of 1848, was bought from the | stable of a small farmer, who was glad to get rid of the "ugly brute" | for a few pounds;-and Salamander, winner in 1865, was discovered "in a wreched condition in an Irish hovel." i Deadlock, 'dam of the famous Is- inglass, was taken by Capt. Machell from' the shafts of a farmer's gig, in exchange for a cart-colt; and Thros- tle, who defeated Ladas so sensation- ally in the St. Leger, was born with & thick film over his'eyes; and, after being refused as a. free gift by a friend of his owner, Lord Arlington, was ordered to be shot, a sentence whieh happily was not carried out. Teddington, who was destined te win the rby, was picked up as a three months' foal in a village blacksmith's stable; and Queen of the Roses, before coming into the hands of the Duke of Beaufort, was exchanged in her early years-- once for a bag of corn, and again for a riek of hay. Salamander, who put £30,060 in |! Mr. Studd's pocket by winning the Grand National, was hawked about to one country fair after another, until at last a purchaser was willing to. risk £35 on him; and The Widow, who romped away with the Cambridgeshire, and won £40,000 in bets for her owner, Mr. Leigh, Was so little thought of by tr first owner that he made a present of her to his bailiff, who was delighted when he succeeded in exchanging her for a £10-note, = _ - -------- _ Capt.
