UP) Tyrus Raymond Cobb. brilliant leader of the Detro! Tigers. his nineteenth year es a major league star, today stands out as the greatest record breaker la baseball. TThe famed Georgia Peach, never out of the select.300 class ia hitting with the exception of 1903. when he first joined the Tigers and played only a part of the season, is finishing the 1924 race as the only player in major league history who has batted above .300 for eighteen consecutive years.

Cobb's average today, with the season drawing to a close is .337. A year ago he finished as runner-up to George Sisler for the 1923 championship with a mark cf .401. When tho veteran Hans Wagner passed out of the National league in 1913, he left behind him a record of having batted .300 or better for seventeen year3. Another record held by Cobb, which previously was shared with; Kecler, that of making 200 hit or more for eight consecutive years, has been broken. Cobb has the 200 hit mark again this season, making it his ninth consecutive year in which he ha3 collected 200 hits or more.

Dawes, refusing protection, often times left the rear platform after? a ten minute speech with water soaked cloathes and water streaming from his face. weeks ago Mr. Dawes attacked the La Follete candidacy in Milwaukee one of its Wisconsin strongholds, but today he carried his assault on La Follette principles to Madison, the home of Senator La Follette. The crowd that greeted him at Madison was one of the smallest of the day. His attack on the La Follette movement followed along lioes similar to his other speeches, bucVie did not at any time mention La Follette by name.

"Political ree-Wits." The vice presidential candidate combined with his discussion of the constitutional question which he declared was the paramount is sue of the campaign and which he asserted made the present nation al campaign the most important since the Civil war, an attack on "Political pee-wlts," and those "going around the cpuntry promising different things to different sections and different interests and all that inconsistent stuff and claptrap." He made it plain that he did not consider all the" political peewits'' in the opposition parties and in his address at Sparta said that "a lot of pee-wits" have been preaching to me down there at the National committee to go ou and speak this kind of a speech to this kind of a people, or this kind to another kind, and all that sort of thing, and straddle around with all of them." Several-times in making this attack he paused to say that "Senator La Follette does not lack cour- age I respect courage he puts up a fight." Several times during the day he went back into ancient history for i illustrations to dm home his point that governments whose action had been determined by passing phases of popular opinion, without steadying power, such as he said was provided by the American constitution and the courts, had failed. Dawes Getting Weary Evanston, Sept. 27 UP) Tii'ed by three days of strenuous campaigning during which he made a total of twenty-two speeches, Charles G.
