Ty Cobb dropped into newspaper row at the Oulfport camp one night during the recent spring training trip, and while' typewriters clicked and other things clicked, he picked up "Rich-tor's History of Baseball" and ran thru the batting records that form the high lights of diamond history. He was especially interested in Hans Wagner's eight years at the top of the National league, a record which Cobb tied in 1914, and commented upon it as follows: "There isn't anything I wouldn't glva to lead the league Just two years more. I don't know whether I can do it or not but to be the best batter in a major leugue for 10 years would be enough to- satisfy any- man. It ture wouia suit me. If there is anything more for which I would elve almost any thing, it would be to beat Lajoie'a batting average of .422 In 1901.

I got .422 In 1911. and there wer two games in which I didn't play that I might have. I don't know that they would have boosted my average, but I can't help thinking that I passed up a big chance. I certainly was a fortunate batter that year." Whll elanclnz over the records in "Rlohter's History" Cobb's eye fell on a passage that introduced the story of his performances, and he read it over several times. It ran as follows: "Cobb is the onlv batsman of the time with the possibility of passing Waener's world record.

(Wagner bat ted over .300 in 18 consecutive yeara). is a. wonderful batsman In point of ability, but has not the physique to warrant hope that he win be aoie to stand the strain of major league playing as well as the four giants Waener. Anson. Brouthers and Lajole who now lead him In the point of continuous service.

Regarding that, Cobb made some in teresting comment, shedding light nnon his conditioning system, and his i faith therein. Said he: "I wonder If that is true. I know that folks expect mo to break under the strain of the game, and maybe I will. But I really thing that my manner of training in. the winter is conserving my strength.

I know this much: I have been playing bali 11 years now, and of recent years it has been easier for me to get Into condition and keep In shape than it was when I was younger. I seem to be really getting in better condition each year. One can't tell how long that will he true, tho: maybe they are right and I will crack some day. One thing is certain, anyway. I am not going to slacken the pace I have set as long as I have strength to keep it up, unless I should voluntarily retire, as I hope to I do after a few years." Press Want Ads.

Arrangements are now being com pleted for the first annual indoor athletic meet to be held by the Crescent A. A. its biulding on avenue on the evening of April 30. The entry blanks are now being distributed among the local athletes and the indications are that there will be numerous competitors in each event. The meet will be limited to field events only as there is not ample floor Kpace to conduct run At Random We suggest that the pie eating contest between Booth and Sterner, scheduled to take place at tho Crescents' indoor meet next Friday night, be started at an early hour.

This is like a wrestling match to the finish. You can never tell hen it will end. With 24 scalps dangling from their belts, the Long Branch Cubans are home again returning from the most successful rampage ever conducted by any team thru the southland. In 25 games played against many big league Class and Class teams, the Cubans INDOOR MEET AT CRESCENTS APRIL 30 ONCE III FIGHT By Wearing Tight Gloves He Broke Knuckle In Fight With Schiller. (Ninth Instalment of "How I Won the Title," by Jess Willard, heavy weight champion of the world.) Singular good fortune has followed me in most of my contests.

Only once was I seriously injured in a contest, and that I can account for by the in experience that I showed. This accident occurred in the sixth fight I bad in the ring and brought me a broken knuckle. The injury since healed nicely and I believe the knuckle is stronger now than it was before the hurt. It was caused by our having too small gloves; at least, the gloves were too small for my hands. They were the only ones we had and I simply had to use them.

After quite a struggle with my seconds we managed to get the gloves on and then I couldn't shut my hands completely. I was for cutting the gloves on the Inside, but everybody was afraid they would burst completely then and thus prevent the fight, so I let it go as it was. My opponent was Bert Schiller, pretty fair sort of a young fighter. But he was easy for me to hit and I knocked him out in the fourth round. But when they finally cut the gloves oft my hands it was found that the first knuckle of my right hand was broken.

That taught me a good lesson, and now whenever I am matched I see to it that thev have especially made gloves for me; gloves that fit. Levison has my measure out on the coast and furnishes all of the gloves I use. The whole trouble with me up to a short time ago was the fact that 1 never had an experienced fighter to teach me anything. Somehow I never could get the right sort of a man to go with me in my campaigns. Usually this was because 1 couldn't afford to pay them the price they wanted to charge me for their services.

In the main I have had trouble enough getting money together that would carry me along without hiring another man. It has been a tough grind in the main, but I hope better times are dawning now. The result of this was that I had to learn most everything I knew myself. Some of it I learned all wrong and had to undo a lot of it after I got good men with me, which was in El Paso, when I first started training for the Johnson fight. I had Tex O'Rourke, Jim Savage, Walter Monahan and Jack Hem-pie, and a better bunch of fellows or more willing workers I never have seen in one camp.

To them I owe much. Probably the worst exhibition lever put up in my entire career was that against George Rodel in Milwaukee, and this, to my great chagrin, came at a time when I wanted to show the Chicago critics what a really great man I was. That w.is one time I lost my head In the face of a hostile crowd. It happened in i peculiar way. Rodel, while a big man as the ordinary heavyweight goes, looked like a child in the ring alongside of me and before the end of the first round was reached the crowd, always with the smaller man or "under dog," started to "booh" me all over the shop.

When I got back to my corner at the end of the first round I was boiling with rage. "Just for that they'll get a 'booh' fight," I said to Tom Jones. And that's what I tried to give them. I was sorry for it afterwards, but the farther I went the madder I got and everybody knows that a fighter cannot do anywhere near his best when he Is angry. It is perhaps due to the fact that the fight fans of the big cities did not like me that became averse to living in big cities.

As a matter of fact, I don't care for city life at all and when I am retired I surely will pick out some quiet country spot. Late hours seem to be an absolute part of city life and I can't stand late hours at all. (To be continued.) LI1I0 I IV OIYJEH NINE Game Will Be Played at Ath letic Grounds Tomorrow Afternoon. The Crescents baseball team will make its first appearance on the diamond tomorrow afternoon when it meets the Asbury Park high school team at the Athletic grounds.
