SISLER TO CLIMB
THRONE MINUTE
COBB DESCENDS
Georgia Peach, Now Thirty
Two Years Old, Due to Slide
Soon; Brown Star
Ready.
By JACK VEIOCK.
New York, " June 8. Ty Cobb is
going on 32 years of age.
Some of these fine days Ty will re
linquish his throne as the peer of
base ball players, for Old Pop Time
gets all of 'em sooner or later.
And when the Georgia Peach ceases
to reign as the peer of all major
league players, both in the field and
at the box office, who is going to
step in and fill his shoes?
The answer depends largely upon
where you ask the question, but if
you happen to be in St. Louis it will
be unanimous for George Sisler.
Sisler, more than any other player
in either major league today bears the
earmarks of the one player qualified
to ascend to the throne of King Tyrus
in seasons to come. St. Louis fans are
not alone in making their claims, for
wherever Sisler displays his wares
the bugs admit that he is a rare gem
on the ball field.
Ail-Around Player.
Sisler has qualifications as an all
around base ball player that Cobb
cannot boast of, for he can play prac
tically any position aside from third
base or behind the bat. Being left
handed, Sisler would not be at home
on third base, nor would he be in his
element as a catcher. But he can play
any other infield or outfield position
and the world knows he can pitch.
Fielder Jones made an infielder of
Sisler rather than pitch him, for his
wonderful ability as a fielder, bats
man and base runner makes it im
perative that the Browns have him in
the lineup every day. As a pitcher he
would be available about twice a week
and the Browns would lose much of
his valuable hitting.
So far this season Sisler is showing
to better advantage than ever before.
It isn't that the batting or base run
ning figures have anything to do with
it, He is simply a greater ball player
than ever, and he shows it in his
movements. Where can you find a
more promising candidate for the
crown of King Cobb? It can't be done,
Steve, it can't be done.
Wood Earns Success.
Smoky Joe Wood certainly deserves
the success he is having as an out
fielder for the Cleveland Indians.
When Joe's arm went back on him
he refused to draw his salary from the
Cleveland club while unable to play
ball, and his temporary retirement is
said to have cost him $7,000. When he
-came back as a gardener and made
good he surprised the base ball public
as no player has surprised it in many
a year. He has worked hard to learn
the fine points of outfielding and hit
ting and he is being, well repaid now
for the sacrifice he made.
Giants Said to Consider
Coast as Training Ground
The story that the .New York
Giants, after 11 years at Marlin, might
select Hot Springs as their training
camp next spring, is now followed by
a new one. This is that if .the war
ends before next spring McGraw will
take his team to California, possibly
making an exhibition tour with the
Chicago White Sox.

Anton Stecher Predicts Victory .
for Joe in Battle With Wla
dek Zbyszko in Omaha
Wednesday.
Anton Stecher, brother and man- i
ager of the famous' Joe, who will
wrestle Wladck Zbyszko at the Oma
ha Auditorium Wednesday night, has
the following words to say about
Joe's coming match with the mighty v
son ot roiana:
"When Gene Melady issued tht
statement that Joe Stecher would
have to wrestle Zbyszko and clean up
hi rernrr! hifVir hs would tttt 1 .
match with Caddock, it put Joe right
on his mettle and never again wui n
be said that Joe was not in condition
after a wrestling match. We realize
Zbyszko is one of the strongest, most
aggressive and best wrestler! In the
nam enft tUm mar fsrr that - Trtfl
could not defeat him in his match at
Madison Square Garden last winter,
is the best evidence that he is going
n erraimt a tnncrn nrnnmirinn fin
Jane 12 when he meets the mighty
C . a a a. t .
role in the Auditorium at umani. ,
Joe Training Hard.
"Tn 'is ma Vino- the best nrenan-
tions possible to condition himself for
mis contest,, ana ne win ue in snapc,
an1 if ha Ann't vrtn frnm Zhvazka it
will not be because he was out of
condition.
The match that Joe Stecher wants
mntt nf alt t a return match with
Caddock for the championship of the
world, and he will leave nothing tin-
j -..! i . j t.:. ....
done until ne nas atuicvcu uia pui- :
f ( if anvthtne? enAlllil
happen that Joe would fail to defeat
Zbyszko, then we could not expect a
return match with Caddock, bat Joe
Stecher will be in ihape to prove hit
claims to superiority, and the
wrestling fans will see a match be- k
tween two big men, the like of which
never has been witnessed in this coun
try before, i
Hopel Gene Makes Good.
"I onlv hone, if Toe wine thil
match, that Mr. Melady will make
good his promise to give him a chance
at Caddock. Joe has always felt that '
he was not himself the night he
wrestled Caddock, and while he doee
not want to detract anything from
CAAnrt' iuatlv earned achievement.
he is satisfied that in a return match
he will reverse conditions.
"We will arrive in Omaha in due
time and the fans will have a chance
to look Joe over before entering the ,,
ring and they will see a amerent ooy :
than the Joe Stecher that wrestled
Caddock on April 9 a year ago. Mr.
Zbyszko wants to be well prepared
for a rough tussle because th'at'e what
is going to happen if he tries to deUy.-
mixing. Joe will show him he can
mix, and will Snix with the best of
them, and if he can get a man that '
will go in and wrestle, the public will ,
see the greatest contest ever held in
Omaha. ,. . , ,
"Remember, we are working back,
.m4 ol-infr everv chance f Of the One
bitr match that we hope we will se-
cure ana tnai is mc iaiv - .
