Cobb has a right to be disappoint

Last year he thought he bad a

side-arm the opposition to death.
Earl Whltehill. Edwin' Wells and
Bert Cole, by all that was true and
holy, seemed ready to do It alone.
Then Cobb obtained the reinstate

staff seemed complete.
But Cole, by the end of the 1924
season, had convinced Cobb he was
not to be depended upon. Cobb final
ly let him go this season.
Neither Whitehill nor Wells bit a
winning gait this season. The only
dependable pitching he has had from
his portside department has come
from the venerable Leonard. .
WhitehiU's failure to get going
this year was a body blow to the
Tiger hopes. He was tho pitching
ace of the team last season.
Those who have been watching
the International league races of late
years say that Earnshaw is the best
righthander that circuit has produc

An eastern sport writer, arguing
that Ty Cobb bus "slowed up," says
it would be impossible to state the
exact number of games which Cobb
has lost this year through "slowing
up." It would be quite Interesting In
out opinion, to state the number of
games the Tigers would have lost
without Cobb In the lineup
Cobb may be slowing up. It isn't
reasonable to suppose that a man
after 22 years in the big show would
be in his prime.
But Cobb has not slowed up to
the point whero his presence In the
lineup of his team weakens that
nine's offense or defense. Not by
many, many moons.

Charlie didn't want to pay Dick
that much and Kerr, being stubborn,
simply quit.
Judge Landls told Dick he would
have to spend one year entirely out
of baseball before he could come
back to the White Sox.
The judge must have had little
to do. The general Idea of the
judge's job in baseball is that he Is
there to keep the crooks out, not
the conspicuously honest men. and
