When the collection box came in

and a two-dollar bill with a no‘e
pinned to It saying, "This is all the
cash 1 have, but will send the other
$3 Wednesday.”
Simmons Is Right
Handed Tyrus Cobb
Old Master Taosht The Modern
Sluecrr While With The
Athletles.
Philadelphia. — Tyrus Raymond
Cobb will be only a reporter at the
world's series of 1029 but from Ins
press box seat hr may see his base
ball spirit marching on.
A roundabout compliment »■«
id the Georgia Peach whan Cub
pitchers were given their riding
orders tn two words: "Stop Sim
mons "
Al Simmons, the No. 1 hitter of
Hie athletics and of the American
league as well, is a righthanded Ty
Cobb. There Is no physical resem
blance between the great batsman
of yesterday and his current suc
cessor, and their batting styles are
vastly different, but in many ways
the Simmons of today reminds
spectators of the Cobb of yesterday.
Wlien Cobb joined the Athletics
to have his last fling at baseball
Simmons was a good, hitter When
Cobb finally left the game he drop
ped a bat full of base hits and Stm
ntons plekeri it up. The good bats
man had become great.
8inimons nnd Cobb were ‘ room
ies'' with the Athletics and the
young man sat at the feet of base
ball Gamaliel as words of wisdom
dropped to be eagerly gobbled up.
A1 now has praetieally all the fa
mous mannerism* of Ty. He ha»
that tense alert ljA'itlon In the bat
ter's box and hmj important to
the house of Mark, nets hits as did
his mentor, not quite so many, per
haps, but for even great distance.
When Simmons came to toe
majors he was tagged as a player
who ‘puts his foot in the water
bucket. meaning that he stepped
away from the plate. However,
there was a catch in It Simmons'
batting style was unorthodox but ,
he stepped into the ball.
Some close observer* hsvs sug
gested that the Cubs fast ball
pitchers will annoy the great Sim
mons. Al himself was asked for aa
opinion.
"Yeah?" he replied. "Well maybe
not There are some fast bail
pitchers In our league, too. Some
times you can't hit any of ’em,
One thing I know, I’ll be up the;*
swinging.”
His efforts probably will not ■
lessened any by the knowledge th^jl
Ills Idol. T. R. Cobb, is looking on.
