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. Standing of Teams WEST. LEAGUE, AMER. ASSN. W.
