Copies Cobb’a Style. Eddie Alnsmith, former Washington catcher, has jumped Into popular fa vor with the Detroit fans. While the Tigers have always boasted of cap able backstops, they have not been the "peppery" kind. Alnsmith, with his snnppy action, constant chatter and shrlll-llke whistle, have made him a pronounced favorite In Tigerland. Alnsmith Is catching better than ever and hitting In One style. He has changed his system at the plate. Fig uring Ty Cobb a pretty fair hitter, he copied the Georgian’s style, and seems to be getting away with It. Let Eddie tell the story himself. ‘T’ve got the wrong style, fellows," Alnsmith announced to several of the Tigers one afternoon on the spring training trip. “I like Ty’s short, snappy swing, and am going to bat that way. No more .200 average for me; I’m out to graduate Into the .250 class This summer. So day after day during the exhi bition games the catcher seldom took his eyes off Cobb when the outfielder was up, practicing an abbreviated swift swing from the shoulder himself Instead of a long sweep from far be hind. He began getting results Im mediately. All of his hits have been sharp drives of the Cobb brand, too, Cobb does swing differently than most bard hitter*. No one follows Eddie AI rum I th, .» through any farther than he does, bul he keeps his bat almost In front ol him when the pitcher Is winding up and then brings It back to his shoul der when about to hit. By starting his bat from this posi tion he undoubtedly gets more ac curacy, and It also probably helps him to chop balls through the Infield or In-j to vacant sectors of the outfield. II may keep him from pulling as many long drives Into right as some left handed batters do, but he gets more hits than the others. Anyhow, Ty Is probably satisfied and Alnsmlth will not go back to his old style, at least not for the present. Oh, yesl Eddie also walks to the plate with three bats, pumping them over his right and then the left shoulder. Of course, that part may be due to superstition, so ' prevalent 'among ball players. SMITHS, MILLERS, JONESES Names Are Quite Prominent on Rot ters of Various Major League Clubs This Season, The names of Smith, Miller and Joints are quite prominent on the ros ter of the various major league clubs. A glance over the lineups shows El mer Smith with the Senators, Sherrod Smith with the Robins, Jack with the Cardinals, George with the OlanTs, Earl with the Browns, Jimmy with the Reds, and J. Carlisle with the Braveg. Jack Miller Is with the Cardinals, Otto with the Robins, Elmer remains with the Yanks, and Prank Is with the Pi rates. The Jones family is represent ed by Bobby of the Tigers, Sam of the Red Sox, John Paul of the Giants and Johnny of the Yankees. Work With Others.

Charles B. ("Babe”) Adams, hero Of the 1909 world series, will try to come back with the Pittsburgh Pirates this year. Adams Is thirty-five years old and a real veteran as pitchers go. It was In 1918 that Adams took the toboggan with the Pirates and was labeled as through by the scribes. His pitching for that yepr was more or less of a Joke, for he won but two games and succeeded In losing nine more be fore Barney Dreyfus made up his mind to let his veteran star go. In 1917 Adams drifted Into the West ern league, signed up with Jack Hol land at Hutchinson and staged a come back that surprised everybody. He won 20 games of ball for the Hutchin son team and lost 13, and he was rated as one of the hardest working pitchers In the league, which has al ways been noted as a league that har bors many a hard-hitting youngster, and many a crafty old-timer who Is on his way back. Adams’ record with the Hutchinson club won him a trial with John Ganzel at Kansas City last season and during the abbreviated pennant race In which the Blues won the pennant Adams captured 14 games of ball and lost but three for the Kansas City club. This feat won him his chance to try a real comeback with the Pirates this year and his boosters are predicting that he will make good. Adams emblazoned his name In base ball’s hall of fame back In 1909 when A a Charlea B. ("Babe") Adama. he played the role of hero of the world’s series between Pittsburgh and Detroit. He pitched the first game for the Pirates against George Mullln and won It by a count of 4-1. Then, after Bill Donovan had beaten Willis and Mullln had trimmed Letfleld, while Maddox sandwiched a victory over Summers In between these two games, Adams came back to the mound with the count of two all and Pittsburgh made eight runs for blm, while he held Detroit to four, Mullen came back In the sixth game for Detroit and won tt, and Adams won his third game and the series when he shut out the Tigers 8 to 0 In the final contest, CLOSE SHAVE FOR SHOCKER 8t Louis Pitcher Compelled to Thrust His Bayonet Through German to 8av# Hla Life, Urban Shocker, star pitcher of the St-- Louis Browns, who returned re cently from service overseas, con fided to relatives here that he "had a narrow escape," It happened dur ing a brief hand-to-hand fight, In which Shocker thrust hla bayonet through a German to save his own life. He sustained a bayonet wound on the head. AD BRENNAN AGAIN REDUCED Former Major League Pitcher Recently Released by Atlanta to the Columbia Team. Ad Brennan, former major leaguer, has been releaaed by the waiver route to Columbia, In the South Atlantlo as sociation, it was announced by the At lanta dab, Brennan, the only con sistent winning pitcher on the Cracker staff this season, was recently sus pended for “an infraction of rales." The Old Name for Windsor. English royalty has resided at Wind ier castle ever Since Edward the Con fessor built a hunting lodge just at Ihe place where there came a great curve In the gentle river. In his “Child’s Guide to London,” Mr, A. A, Methley writes that tho old name for Ihe place was Windleshora or Wtndle Bliores, which may have meant “Wind ing shore,” from the curve of the river at this point Other say. however, liiat the word is derived from the Saxon “Wlndle," a willow tree, ---- EXPECTED THAT ED KONETCHY AND LEE ' MAGEE WILL ADD STRENGTH TO DODGERS It begins to look as If Lee Mngee and Ed Konetchy hare made a real ball club out of Wilbert Robinson's Dodgers of Brooklyn. When the Dodgers were playing the Yankees In the spring exhibition series it was feared that Robinson would hare noth ing this year but a fair outfield and a pitching staff. Without Second Baseman. With Schmandt Injured, the Dodger leader was without a second baseman. And he had no first sacker of quality. „ Magee Joined the Brooklyn club without haring done any spring train 1 Ing. Bat he Is a player who never lets himself get In poor condition dur ing the winter. So he Is lit now, with n few games under his belt, and Is playing great ball afleld and at the hat. Konetchy, too, reported after the season started. But he, too, rounds to form quickly. Magee and Konetchy were the two best bets the Cardinals had years ago when Miller Huggins was In St. Louis. They appear to be Brooklyn's two best bets, outside of Zack Wheat and the pitching staff In this year of 1919. T- - - -_— - - - I NEW BROOKLYN CAPTAIN IS OF OPINION I,, NOTHING IS WON BY LOT OF ARGUMENTS Zach Wheat, new captain of the Brooklyn club and champion batter of tbe National league, says bis head Is all swelled up over tho many titles he Is forced to carry, but be Is going out there to do his bit to the best of his ability and to lay off tbe umpires. "It’a a long trip from the outfield to tho plate,” quoth Zach, “and a fellow hi liable to cool off or forget what It’s all about by the time be gets within balling distance of the umps. "1 sometimes wish I were more aggressive, but you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. 1 was never put out of a game or fined since I broke Into baseball. I came mighty near It last season when I got warmed up over somo sort of a decision, but cooled down tn time. Just as good results enn be obtained with out unnecessary kicking, providing, of course, the umpires give us a 60-50 deal."

Fred Clarke and Fielder Jones Piloted .Team* to Championships While J Playing in Field—Hanlon Also SuecetsfuL One companion question to Ann’# age Is: Why don't outfielders rank# good managers? Apparently the onty suburbanites the people who are an swering this-question remember hwr ing made good as leaders are Fred Clarke, who piloted the Pirates to foui j championships, and Fielder Jones, who led the White Sox to one. Jim my Callahan, the Kansan's first suc cessor as boss of the Corsairs, failed as s skipper Just as he did when he tried to sail the White Sox craft to Pennantvllle. Callahan twice was In command of the Hitless Wonders, being promoted to the leadership whan 1 , Fred Clarke. f Clark Gritflth was placed In command of the newly-formed New York A men can league team.

In Baltimore and two In Brooklyn* Moreover, Foxy Ned was the captain of the flag-winning Detrolts In 1887; the team that cleaned up the famou!

Hanlon, besides winning flags fo| Baltimore and Brooklyn gave io th< major leagues three men who hav! figured as leaders In series for base* ball's bine ribbon—John McGraw, Wll« bert Robinson and Hugh Jennings.
