TYRUS PUTS SQUAD TO EXTENDED DRILL With Nd Social or Other Engagements to ill Cobb Starts Players to Work at 11 A Georgian In structs Defense in ine Art of Breaking Up Double Steal BY HARRY BULLION Augusts Ga March With no social or athletic engagements to fill this afternoon Manager Cobb and his charges put in a long practice session at Warren Park The boys started their stunts at 11 o'clock and quit only when the Augusta league team and the University of Georgia color bearers appeared for their scheduled game in the middle of the matinee period tutting ana netaing anus were tn to start the festivi liich the Peach person ally conducted instructions tn the art of breaking up double steals This' is one department of the Hen gals' defense that Cobb desires to improve before the championship season started and he kept the men on their toes continually for nearly two hours SID TOPS NEXT SHOW AT ELKS Southpaw Matched With Joe participated ties after Manager Keeps 'Em Trjbiff Ona crew took up stations on ths Infield and ever changing runnerswere put on the sacks with instruc Nelson New Orleans Lightweight tlons to run on imaginary steals Before the session concluded Ty was satisfied that his labor wast ed Everybody had a part to play in the program and If a mistake of the slightest nature was made Cobb made the offender try It over again until the play under the cir cumstances lacking competition that ft did met with the Georgian's approval It Is a play In which the catchers figure prominently of course be cause In the first place much de pends upon their ability to solve the enemys designs and then set the ball In motion to frustrate Its successful culmination Double Thefts Hurt Tigers requently disaster for the Tigers has followed In the wake of double thefts by an opposing club because it Is contention the short throw to second base became obso lete with them especially when tunnors occupied first and third bases before they got in motion to execute the steal Another fault with the Tigers was the failure by the baseman in pus session of the ball tu run back the Intended victim as tar toward the bane as possible and thus Insure the out Today the Cobbian theories worked to perfection but there al ways 1r the danger that what they absorbed In the way of knowledge in breaking up the double steal might be forgotten by tomorrow Cobb Knows Kun's Wurth Cobb appreciates the value of a run both when scored by the Tigers or the opposition And often In career the Bengali have been beaten bv a margin of a single run that might have been averted by more alertness and success against the double steal With adequate assistance Ty plans to profit by these runs him self and accordingly ho Is setting his plans to minimize the danger of unrestricted liberties on the paths by the rivals this seaaun Ty figures and correctly too that the fewer runs the other clubs make against the Tigers the fewer they will be compelled to sire to win That's good logic but It must bo nut to practical purpose before results are achieved TILDEMOTEGE LACKS EXPERIENCE Youthful Defeat Re sults in Elimination New York March William Tilden 2nd national

Interval named and once the Detrolts got together they made It two straight after exhibiting a grade of basket ball hard to beat In any league In the second half the Kellys could not score from the field and got two points on free throws Rowdyism and too rough play cropped out Late In the second half some one threw a water bot tle from the Kelly Greens corner at Umpire Kinsel Luckily the mlssle

More Than That peclal to Th ree Drew Hot Spring Ark March After the men the Dlrate made of their quest last season 4t Is a risky matter to dope them for the comlna race Undoubtedly Manajer Gibson had a snappy well balanced aggrega tion In 1931 but It got away from him The boys flgured the pennant was a cinch and started to spend the world series pot before It was earned The result Is well known It would seem that a team that spurted as did the Pirates last year must have something There fore they should bo able to do It again Also it would seem that their blowup provided an excellent lesson Therefore they should not do It again If this reasoning 'Is logical It Is a certainty Gibson will have a persistent title con tender Of course the morale of the team may be gone for good in which case ability will count for nothing Whltted la Out the pennant days burst like a toy baloon late last summer president Dreytuss im mediately announced he was going to clean house He did nothing However release papers were re cently handed to George Whltted It is said Dave Itobertson who has not reported will bo given simi lar medicine Perhaps this is the belated house cleaning Whatever It Is It Is leaving a vacant out field post and Manager Gibson Is buay looking for new talent The best prospect for the right field vacancy Is Ray Roehmer He Is a left hander and hits tho apple In convincing style It Is a cinch that he has the edge over the re cruits who are Walt Mueller a highly recommended lad from Jop lin Mo: Homer Summa of Roches ter Harry Brown of Ogden Utah and Haren Cuyler of Bay City Mich One or two of theee lad may be retained for utility and de velopment In the other outfield bosti Gibson hM Carey and Big bee There seems to be more or less mystery about the Infield Although Gibson'a inner defense worked well last season up to the time of the grand blow off there an ideaaln the mind of the management that an improvement can be brought about thia can be traced back to house cleaning threat Two Infielders Sure Two infielders sure of their jobs are Charley Grimm and the diminu tive Rabbit Maranvlile Grimm us a first sacker dues not leave much to be duslred The aame with a bit added can be said uf Maran V1 Second base is a matter to be decided between Tierney of last year's team and Harold Traynor Tho latter was purchased from the Portsmouth team in 1J for 10 000 and was planted at Birming ham Ala to ripen last season He does everything well and la by far the best jf rookies in tin camp 4 Three men have a chance to naii down the third sack position Clyde Barnhart who was not exactly satisfactory there last year is stih on deck hoping to prove his worth The squad also includes Jewel Ens a veteran ofthu minor league cir cles He was snared at Syracuse and looks good He might be all right for one season The best prospects for the corner Is Claude Roehmer brother uf the outfielder but he may need more time to develop Claude halls from the University" of California he notched an ImpivMlve record and attracted the attention of sev eral big league clubs Into apace John Hollingsworth also is a worthy prospect He halls from Wichita alla Texas and broke the Texas league strike out record last season The catching problem is some what deepened by the defiant atti tude of Walter Schmidt i If the latter refuses to come to terms the job will go to Johnny
