The Korean cabinet's report to Marquis Ito of the former emperor's new pledge of abdication, in form posi tive and final, was published July 23. This reversed the widespread impres sion that the first instance was not one of abdication but of "Imperial contortion." Ito's subservient cabinet, In an all-night engagement with the former emperor, wrung from him the verbal admission of the validity of his casual abdication and secured his sig nature to a classification proclamation to. the people; also an acknowledge ment of the mikado's congratulations to him as emperor de facto, which acknowledgement had been resisted by the deposed ruler during the day. The working members of the cab inet who enjoy Ito's protection and patronage are passing in and out of the palace with a guard exclusively Japanese.

The situation in the capital Is promising, especially In consideration of the fact that the stores of ammunition possessed by dls- affected Korean troops are exeremely small. Marquis Ito expects valuable reinforcements of bluejackets from Japanese warships for emergency use. Emperor Offers Courtesy.

The emporer of Korea has abdicated the throne. A crowd of 5,000 Koreans had to be beaten back from the palace gates.

"The most significant fact in connection with organized la bor is the accession to its ranks of 70,000 workers during the last ten weeks," said Samuel Gompers the other day.

V "; , "jElSSSi ' "3A ,'HRPSPBfc " ' , Tyrus Cobb.- ' ' FASTEST T0SSERS IN THE COUNTRY ALMOST EVERY CLUB HAS A CAN DIDATE FOR THE SPEED ,'" ' HONOR ROLL. TYRUS COBB AMONG LEADERS Detroit Lays Great Stock in Player Who Is Hailed as One of Best Nat ural Hitters in Game To-Day ' O'Neill Said to Be Best Sprinter in American Association. Who is. the fastest ball player in the country? In the American league many differ ent teams claim the fastest man in the country. In- St. Louis they are spreading' pages of copy now on the work of Harry Niles, league leader at bat. They claim that this youngster is not only the fastest runner, but the best batter, etc. Fielder Jones, of the world's cham pions, maintains that Pat Dougherty is the fastest runner in the league. Down in little old New York they point to Danny Hoffman as the one ten-second man of the league. Harry Bay won the title of "Deer- -foot" by his , speed some " time ago,( but Bay is not the man he once was,; through injuries. Still, he is still there to a considerable extent. In the National they say Maloney, of Brooklyn, is the fastest, and others point to Magee, of Philadelphia. But around the circuit there is a growing belief that there is a newer and faster man coming to the front,, one whose style of play is peculiar to himself, and whose work, given, fair; recognition last season, will stamp him as one of the greatest natural ball players in the business before .the year is out'1-1. That's Tyriu Cobb. Cobb, like Harry Niles, is not a fin ished ball player. But if is interesting to contemplate just what he will be when he is thoroughly seasoned, when, he can do what he can now. Like Niles, he is not yet an expert on the bases. - '. "' 'i ' Cobb's really remarkable speed tin going down to first base and inr going, from first to third on sacrifice bits every time he got the opportunity, gave the fans the idea that it was bis speed that carried him through. . "Where other men would get thrown, out Cobb gets there because of his 3peed," they said. , . ' They had this idea because of Ty'tf method of batting. He bandies ' bis stick like a toy. There is no exer tion seemingly- when be swings. He . just seems to meet the ball as though . It were nothing at all. But it goes. Wben it's to be hit out, he is usually, there with a long drive. But he also likes to chop down on them, sending the ball spinning in several different directions at once, jarring the whole infield. ' Tyrus. does not look like a slugger. There is not great weight in those shoulders to lay -against a ball. Yet he is fast being hailed as one of the best natural hitters in baseball. There are a great many good ball players who figure out what to do and then do it. Cobb seems to play purely, by Instinct. He does things first and then thinks afterward. He makes mis takes sometimes, but they are only made in an effort to pull of some dar ing play. Last year he could not field very good. This year he has been liikder the constant care of big Sam Craw ford, and his work has shown great improvement. t .' Bay, Niles, Hoffman, Dougherty and other fast men have been seen here beating out bunts and scratch hits. Have any of them ever shown greater speed or flashier work on the bases than Cobb? Just nvho is the fastest actual' run ner in baseball it will never be. set tled probably, but when it comes to ' Just making . claims Detroit is there strong with the' Georgian as the rep resentative. ' - In the American association there are number of men who get down to first in close to record time. Prob ably the swiftest of the bunch is Tip ( O'Neill, the former Milwaukee player, who is. with Minneapolis this year, says the Milwaukee Sentinel.. Tip gets off like a shot, but his greatest speed is made' In the last 30 feet. An other fast man to first is Williams, ot Indianapolis, although he is not as fast as O'Neill. Josh Clarke and Armr bruster, of Toledo, get down to first in fast time, as does George McBride, ot Kansas City. The fastest man ion the Milwaukee team is Danny: ' Green. Clark and Dougherty also get to first in quick time.
