Tyrus Raymond Cobb is 36 ears old
today as he was bom Dec 18 1SSS.
Most biosraphies of the illustrious

of Royston. which is In Franklin
county northeastern Georgia. The
neighboring county of Banks also
claims him as a native of the village

njon and high schools. The first regu-
lar ball club he played on was known
as the Royston Rompers. He walked
six miles in a broiling sun to play his
first game for money receiving $1.15.
Cobb's first professional Job was with
the South Atlantic leairue clnh m An.
gusta Ga. That was in the spring of
1904. when he -was a lank ungainly kid i
of 17. He applied at the office of the
Augusta magnate armed with a letter !
from a Royston minister stating that
Ty was a church member and a good
moral boy.
Con Strouthers was Cobb-'s first man-
ager. He hired the youngster on sus-
Cobb is a crack shot and verv fond
of hunting and owns a number of fine

dren. His younger brother. Paul has

TALKINGJT OVER

By CHUCK SWAN.
j Hep Hep Hep Hep Hep.
I Here's a good one from Toronto:
i Rube Marquard has been stopped sev
eral times Dy recruiting officers here.
who are bending every effort to enlist
men for the British army. This con-
versation took place recently:
"Why don't you sign up?" asked
the recruiting officer.
"I have signed" replied Mar-
Qcard. "When?" queried the soldier.
"Last fall." shot back Marquard.
"For how long?" persisted the
recruiter.
"Three years" answered Mar-
quard. "Where's your uniform?"
"In Brooklyn."
'Who did you sign with?"
'The Brooklyn baseball club."
The sergeant was still uncon-
scious at a late hour tonight.
Many of our best little sporting ex-
perts believe the time is coming when
the picking of all-American football
teams will be left lartrelv with a. few
men whose judgment In the selection
of all-American talent will be eminent-
lv fair and whose word will be uni-
versally considered final.
There are generally a few football
stars who stand out above the rank
and file in a season's time but aside
from these men the selection of the
rest is larsrelv a matter of xakinz- a
chance on the part of the ones who i
select teams. Because of the annual
custom the writer chose all-American
teams this year and we believe that
the selections made were fair to the
players named yet In all probability
a team almost equally as strong could
have been chosen.

It is doubtful however if Tortorich's plan to hook Mike Gibbons aod
Tack Dillon up as the contenders will be realized. Dillon went to 162 pounds
for Gibbons in their go at St. Paul and if he had to get below that figure it
probably would weaken him to such an extent he could not do himself justice.
With Dillon in the light heavyweight ranks. Gibbons' opponent probably
would have to be either Jeff Smith of Xew York or Bob Moha of Milwaukee
Both arc ready to make the middleweight figure of 138 or 160 pounds.
