COBB'S STRONG
ARM S GONE
Detroit's Great Outfielder Now
Forced to Relay Bail.
HE DIDN'T HEED ADVICE.
Manager Jennings Warned Him Prac
ticing Pitching Before Game Would
Injure Salary Wing His Batting and
Baee Running a Good aa Ever.
Ty Cobb, Detroit's great outfielder, is
no longer the perfect ball player. For
the first time In his. career he has de
veloped a weakness.
His throwing arm is gone.
It is only with the greatest effort
that he can throw a ball at a distance
of a hundred feet, and on all plays
that are made into his territory one of
the infielders. usually Vitt. goes out to
take Cobb's throw.
Cobb has been punished for his in
discretion. For years he has abused
his ariE Ditching for half an hour
jvery da, before the game. He has
been repeatedly warned that he would
lose his arm if he did not stop that
practice, but he did not heed the ad
vice, and as a result his usefulness as
an outfielder has been considerably
marred.
In every other respect Cobb is play
ing even better ball than ever before.
He is hitting in his best form, and, if
such a thing is possible, his speed is
even greater than It has ever been.
But that weak throwing arm Is prov
ing a great handicap. Opposing teams
which make the discovery thKt Cobb
cannot throw take all sorts of liberties
on the bases when the ball Is in his
territory. It is pitiful to watch him
trying to throw to the bases from the
outfield.
Cobb has cut out the pitching now.
He hopes that by care and rest he will
recover his throwing arm. but the
chances are against him, and it is most
probable that be has suffered the first
permanent setback of his career.
With Cobb's arm lacking powvr and
Crawford's worn out, the Tigers' out
field has only one fielder who can
throw Veach and he, of course, can
not do the throwing for his teammates,

The Stuff Successful Men Are Made of
The International Correspondence Schools are NOT closed in
summer. All of oar truly ambitious students those who think mor.
about the increased salaries their studies will qualify them to earn,
than of the imaginary discomforts of summer study devote a part of
each week to their studies all summer.
A student who will only study in cold weather punishes himself.
Why? Because he takes two or three times as long, in preparing him-
self to earn more money, as the student who studies from a half hour
to an hour per day all the year round. We have enough letters on file
to make several very large books, the general purport of which isr
"Oh, If I had only taken up that Course when I first wrote you about
it! I have Just missed a fine position, at largely Increased wages, be
cause I wasn't prepared to fill it. I lacked just the special knowledge
I could have had from the Course." The writers of these letters never
have to be coaxed to study in summer NOW. They knew what delay
costs. Why not profit by THEIR experience, instead of taking the
same bitter medicine yourself?
Persons that suffer most from the heat are those that have noth
ing else to occupy their thoughts. A man who is interested in . his
studies doesnt know how hot it is. He has no time to fret about the '
weather. He is looking ahead a few months to the time when he can
demand advancement in position and salary, because his special educa
tion will have made his services of more value to his employer. It 13
no harder to read an Instruction Paper in summer than to read a news
paper. How many summer days are hot enough to prevent you from
reading the daily news? ,
The man who promises himself that he will enroll next fall is
only trying to deceive his -conscience. He may not know it, but he "
is weakening his will-power, and it is will-power power to do what '
one knows he must do to succeed that makes the man. A man of
weak will one who will study some day, but not now will always
be down in the world; always in "hard luck," frequently out of work,
and when employed, it will always be at low wages. -He knows that a
knowledge of certain subjects will fit him to earn more ; yet he stills
his conscience by promising to start later. Such a man isn't truly am
bitious. He is one of the kind that always does the hard, menial work,
and draws small pay all his life. Are YOU one of that kind. Are YOU
truly ambitious to earn more and make something of yourself? If you
wont study in summer you are NOT. If-you prefer to fret about hot
weather, rather than forget it by studying, you are NOT.
The dangerous habit of "putting off" has ruined the lives of more
promising young men than drunkenness. It is so easy to say "yes,
it's what I need ; I'll start tomorrow next week some other time."
' The difference between the man that makes a failure of life and the
man that succeeds is simply this: The failure is going to begin 'tomor
row;" the success begins today.
The men who "get there" ar9 those that study for self-improvement
in summer, or whenever they have time. They don't let the '
weather keep them In inferior posilons, at small wages. They don't
make excuses to themselves when they ought to be up and doing.
They don't work for wages barely enough to keep soul and body to-'
gether either. - . . '., . v
