JiALLAS. March 13.—While many
a new face will be seen this year
in the Texas league, there are sev-
eral old records that will rtfnain in
the memories of the fans.
It will take some long, hard and
frequent hits to equal a few of the
records of hard hitters of several
years ago, many who have not yet
retired from baseball
Ostergard of the Galveston club,
when the gulf city was In the cir-
cuit. went on a hitting streak In
1023 Starting on Sept 2, Ostergard
or his second time at bat hit a
homerun. He did the same thing the
next two times at bat. He couldn’t
be stopped. The next day the first
three times up, Ostergard hit three
■a- more homeruns.
It has not been an unusual inci-
dent for a player in the league to
secure throe homeruns in one game.
Tfx McDonald, while with Wichita
Falls in 1921. did. Other playeA
who have equated this stunt, accord-
ing to records, are Davis of Fort
Worth in 1925; Sears of Fort Worth
The point, it I may be permitted
to point it out. is this: does the
offending athlete, through lack of
sportsmanship del") -Tamely c'lwu
in order to obtain what advantage
his conduct affords him al the ex-
pense of his opponent?
If so. the answr/ |» obvious. Toss
him out and do not permit him to
compete any more
But such was not the case in the
matter of Arne Borg And the indig
nant critics. Obviously the horse
play did not hinder the Swedish
swimmer’s opponents, who were bus
i'y engreed in taking advantage of
it as fast as their arms and legs
could propel them.
If ABie wanted to spot his oppon
ents a handicap, he at least did
them ho harm, except possibly as
their feelings were hurt. And a
man in a swimming race is too busy
splashing along to worry about his
feelings.
Th< German writer* Insisted that
Borg’s conduct was “incompatible
with the dignity of an athlete.”
Germany may not win the Olym-
pic Games this year, bin she intends
to lead all the rest In “dlrnity."

Ame Borg of Sweden, who has
fits instead of feet, and can swim
am distance from 300 yards up to
xne mile faster than anyone else,
amused the ire uf Teuton sports
writers recently by clowning about
a Int in a Bcflin tank.
I seems that Arne’s antics an-
ncvi d the Germans to the point of
exa i iteration, and they hurled at
him that scathing denunciation—
"J ivolous ”
Borgs offense consisted in delib
eiately giving his opponents a head
start While the German swimmers
were tinashing the waters of the
pool, Arne would sit chatting and
tail riling with friends. Suddenly he
vould recall that he was competing
in the race. With a fancy dive and
a caper or twa he would enter the
water and speedily overtake his
derperately struggling competitors.
All.of which was very painful to
the Teuts. Defeat, they could en-
dure stolidly; levity, never. Borg
was sentenced by the German
Swimming Association to sit in the
corner.and wear a fool's cap.

rpHE trade with the Chicago Cubs
1 which brought Sparky Adams
for Kiki Cuyler may turn out as
a ileal that made the Firatefl, and
certainly it canndt be blamed as a
cause it they do not come through.
If Adams doesn't come up to
hopes at second base the team will
not be any weaker than it was. and
the loss ot Cuyler will not be se-
rious, as ha wasn’t used last year.
Giving up Adams tor Cuyler
may have a serious effect upon the
Chicago Cubs, who threatened to
toss the dope all around last year.
The Cubs as a result of the addi-
tion of Cuyler have a great out-
field. But they still have a ques-
tionable defense around second
base, rtnd you know what tlge man-
agers I think about a second-base
frailty.
The Cards ought to be stronger

ATLANTA. March 13.—Ty Cobb
the debonair D'Artagnan of base-
tall, declines to sheathe and hang
on the wall his 42 inch rapier, with
the basket-hilt, and no matter what
Athos and Pcrihos and Aramis may
elect to do. the Gascon of spore
will take the field again
Mr Cobb has a considerable rep-
utation to live up to jn baseball,
and while tlie reflexes and reac-
tions of tnat wonderful pair of legs
may nut be quite as near instan-
taneous as they were of yore, you
may lay to It that the reactions
of the fastest mfhd the game ever
saw will be spdrkllng away just as
before.
Amon? other achievements. Ty
Cobb started heading the batting
list in the American League back in
1907 and he led it nine times in
tuccession. Since then he has won
it several more times, and right on
through the last season, when he
finbhed well up in the race as a
member of tlie Athletics, he has
sustained his high reputation as the
greatest combination of batsman
and base runner the game nas pro-
duced.
Ty Cobb startled anti shocked
baseball out of a somewhat con
vcntional set of methods when he
first broke loose under the proprie
torship of Hugh Jennirjts. Ty did
tilings about the bases that weir
not in the books, up to tnen. He
first gained the name at a wild
man from Georgia; then the more
though'fu! of his opponents, and
the sporting writers, began to per
reive a method in his apparent
mariners.
Mr. Cobb followed instinctively
the tactics oi a celebrated Eu
ropean commander of cavalry, who
was popularly supposed to make
more mtetakes than all his rivals
combined, but he got away with
the mistakes because he was al
ways moving too fast for the
enemy to take advantage of them.
One team at leas’ In the Ameri
can league was issued orders like
tills:
"With Cobb on the bases, never
under anw circumstances throw the
ball behind them "
One rookie, it is said, took the
order so much to heart that the
first time he played against Cobb.
Tyrus hit a sharp single to right
field, and the rookie promptly fired
the ball to the plate, though ito
one else was on base at tlie
moment.
The Georgia
cared much for training, tn the ac
cepted sense of the term. In the
off seasons, he spends much time
hunting, and he is never much
cut of condition. He is in condi-
tion today; he could play ball to
morrow.
