Ix'ft, Con1psito of Cobb, Speaker,
Schalk. .
Collins, Hcrzog and llusb; ItiKlit, Comiwsito of Alexander, Sister unil
By PA PL PUHMAX.
Mr.; Fan, If you wero a baseball
mannate, how would you like to have
theso two fellows on your club?
One of them would hit, play the
outfield and run bases like Cobb and
Speaker nnd cover the infield posi
tions like llerzog, Collins nnd Bush..
Ho would combine thoj fighting
spirit of llerzog, tho firo of tho Geor
gia peach and the indomitable will of
Tils Speaker with tho popper and
good nature of Donie Bush and the
calm,- cold-blooded assurance of Ed
die Collins. '
Wouldn't he bo a wonder? Hit
ting like that quintet, there would be
scarcely a pitcher who would over
find a weak spot In his swatting. He
would "hit anything" and would pile
up an average of well over .500
against tho cream of the big leagues.
With Cobb's speed and craft he
would boat out Innumerable bunts
and Infield hits nnd with the com
bined speed and sagacity of the flvo
he would steal bases almost at will.
In tho outfield he would combine
Speakers' uncanny ability to guess
where a man Is going to hit and his
throwing accuracy with Cobb's tricki
ness. In ' tho Infield lie would : cover
ground with the speed of Bush, the
cunning of Collins and the dash of
Horzog. ' t ' 1
And Mr. Fan, you probably would
not turn down the other player, a
combined pitcher, catcher and first
baseman.
Ho would servo you Alexander's
dazzling, speed; and bewildering
curves from his right hand and then
would turn around and feed you
southpaw slants such as Sisler can
shoot over when he is in the box.
Or ho would go behind the plate
with the brains, speed and accuracy
of Ray Schalk, where ho would get
moro out of his pitchers than any
other catcher, nip base-runners and
gobble up every foul and bunt in his
territory. .
Or he would go down on first base
and cover as much ground as any
other man in the game today.
AVliat would a magnate pay for
either of these flayers.
'Well, let's see. Speaker was sold
for $50, 000. Either of these men
would bo worth several Speakers.
Of courser It's all a dream .and
never could 1e real but It's mighty
pleasant to think about. '

latter arc proving so a)t and the
training camps aro so well establish

comparatively short timo whon but a
few picked French ocors nnd non

Students, of the vjar, which has
now entered its fourth year, aro con
vinced that the morale of the troops
and of the nations of the entente will
prove to bo the final factor In decid

of the American soldiers In "Franco
can easily be ollmatod by the avidity
with which they take up the training
in offensive tactics as against defen
sivo work. The latter Is very essen
tial, naturally, but it Is a phase of
training likely to prove a lilt Irksome
to troops imbued with the offensive
spirit, as tire the Americans. They
are sincerely anxious, most of Ihem.
(or I In-i r turn in the trenches, even if
at first It Is only a temporary sojourn

The men are eager for a glimpse of

4idd Infinite zest to I heir future train
ing and to their ability to train fu
ture divisions. The men still are far
eunuch from the Hue In sen little that
has to lie with real fighting. Some
enthusiasts at the camps have assert
ed that they could hear the drum
ming of the big guns nt the front, but
there is little doubt Hint Imagination
had something to do with the ncule
ness of their ears. A brief tour of
