While the old batting eye still ap- pears to be as keen as ever, the legs have lost much of their power and the arm no longer can<get the great distance: that once characterized Cobb's throws. If Rogers Hornsby was elected the greatest player by popular vote of fandom, I would still rate Bob Meusel of the New York Yankees as the greatest natural player. . . » Bob Meusel has the physical assets to be as great a player as was Ty Cobb in his prime. Yet it is doubt- ful if Bob ever comes close to the crown once held by Cobb. » » . Meusel a Marvel. Meusel has the ideal build for the ball player; he is tall and rangy. He has great speed .and is a wonderful slider. At the bat Meusel is one of the most dangerous hitters in the game. If he cared to, he could increase his batting average at least 30 points by mixing up his style. Knowing the power that Bob gets into his drives, opposing inflelds al- ways play him very deep. If he be- came adept at bunting, he could beat out scores of them each year, for he has the necessary speed. : In the field, Meusel is a marvel when he wants to be. He is an un- ers with ease all the territory from the left fleld foul line to center field. No player in baseball has an arm that even approaches that of Meu- sel. He gets great distance and is deadly accurate. When he fields the ball baserunners invariably stop in their tracks. < Meusel has one besetting fault, lack of initiative, He is not aggres- sive. He has one of those take it for'granted temperaments. Nothing ever troubles Bob. If éver a player ever deserved to be hailed as one of the greatest stars of all times, that individual is Bob Meusel. Lack of propér tempera- ment has so far prevented it. - - . Fans' Attitude. Don't get the impression that Meu- sel doesn't play to win, for Bob likes victory as well as the next fellow. In perusing the wins scored by the Yankees this year, they have been in the minority, you will find that Meusel has played a most important role. - 'Meusel, however, with his easy style, nonchalant manner, doesn't impress you with his greatness. There is none of the ego to Bob. He doesn't try to thrust his greatness on the public. ¢ For that reason many of Meusel's great efforts attract but little atten- tion." When he errs, however, it usually is of the glaring variety, largely beqause of the take-it-easy spirit that characterizes his play. I doubt if any great player is more alternately cheered and razzed by the New York public than Bob Meusel. It is indeed unfortunate. . - » Bob accepts the attitude of the public in the same care-free manner that he performs. His cap is never lifted from his head, regardless of applause or verbal raspberries. a ---- INVITATIONS ISSUED. Large Fleet to Take Part in Roches ter Sailing Races.

Champions. "Golf's most successful teacher," says "Chick" Evans. Fault No. 1--Lifting Head--is un- questionably the commonest mistake among golfers. Even the pros get into this habit now and then. Lift- ing the head invariably is a fault that results from a fault. That is, the head isn't lifted, but is forced up- ward. The inexperienced golfer swings at the ball with such effort, makes such a lunge of it, that the effort alone causes his head to Hft upward, since something must yield. The player should understand that as the arms are brought downward with great effort the tendency of the head is not to be forced downward with this effort--instead it jerks up- ward. The head should also be watched to prevent it from moving sideways 'during the swing, which causes swaying. * KILLED BY BALL. Struck Over Heart While Standing Up to Bat. New York, June 16.--Eugene Mc- Grath, 84 years of age, of West New Brighton, Staten Island, was killed by a pitched ball in a baseball game witnessed by 2,000 spectators. . Mc- Grath was a veteran player, and some years ago was on the Newark team of the International. League. McGrath was playing first base for the National Club in a game at Lin- oleum with the Clover Athletic Club of Perth Amboy, N.J. i The accident occurred in the sec- ond half of the first inning. Mec- Grath was the first batter up for the Nationals. The first ball pitched cut inside the plate and- struck McGrath near the heart. He dropped uncon- scfous, and was taken in an automo- bile to West New Brighton, ten miles OUT.

A y WASHED WITH Pg BANTAM KING MUST WEAR HIS RINGSIDE CAP BANTAM enamp' His LUCKY CAP \ JEWISH STAR '+ uh FAMOUS GREEN TRUNKS HE HAS WORN IN EVERY MATCH HE HAS EVER ENGAGED IN * By AL DEMAREE "(Former Pitcher, N.Y. Giants) Charley "Phil" Rosenberg, the popular little king of the bantams, who took the title away from "Can- nonball" Eddie Martin, has engaged in forty-eight battles, and critics say he has never put up a poor fight since starting, about three years ago. "Phil" has his pet superstitions. His most cherished possession is the pair of green fighting trunks with a Jewish star embroidered on the side, which' he has worn in every fight. Like Leach Cross, the old lightweight, he has a lucky cap that he always wears when entering and leaving the ring. The only night he ever left it in the dressing room he received his first and only cauli- flower ear. e Ty Cobb can do nothing but break his own records.

Here is King George riding in the royal coach with a beggar running alongside, asking alms of the occupants, nor did he desist until the king, himself, tossel him a coin. trying for a play at second. Chang- ing his mind he throws to first. The ball goes over the first base- man's head, rolling into right field, and before it can be returned to the infield both runners have scored. How should the umpire rule on such a play? The Answer. If the batsman so throws his bat that it strikes the ball in fair terri- tory, thereby hindering the catcher in making a play on the ball, the batsman should be ruled out for in- terference. - While it might be apparent the batsman had no intention of inter- -- fering with the play, simply throw- ing his bat away at random, no ¢on- gideration can be given that fact. The batsman unquestiopally inter- fered. - His act shang ped: the catcher. It prevent "4 original play, the throwing of the ball to. sec- ond and caused him to try for the runner at first. The batsman should simply be called out, and the runner originally on first base when the batsman bunt- ed the ball, should be sent back to that base. No bases can be run on an jinter- ference play of this sort. The. bats- man is simply out and runners re- turn to their original bases. 14.4 BEER | | DOMINION BREWERY WHITE LABEL ALE - INVALID STOUT ' The Beer That Has Made The Hit in Toronto Le THOMPSON BOTTLING C0.
