FERGUS 18, ONTARIO afternoon we made attempts to end the interview, but each time Cobb protested — urged us to stay on, to relax. And even when we finally had to leave, he walked down the hall to the elevators with us, clinging to the association as long as pos- sible. For Ty Cobb was a lonely man. He had played a lone hand during his 24 years in the American 'League — asking no favors and expecting none from others — and most of them never forgot, They let him alone when he was a great ballplayer and they let him alone most of the time' in later years. Perhaps Cobb was misunder- stood. He believed that oncelhe game began, every player in an opposition uniform was his enemy — off the field as'well as on. Was that wrong? He played hard • and sometimes rough. And why not? Twelve times he led the league in batting, nine of them in succession. He stole 892 bases, once getting 96 in a single sea- son. He had a total of 4,191 hits, scored 2,244 runs, went to bat 11,429 times, and played in 3,033 games. In all, he holds 16 major league records and shares five others. He wore the uniform of the Tigers from 1905 through '26, then was with Philadelphia in '27 and '28, In '27, when past 40, he appeared in 134 games, stole 22 bases, and hit .357. Cobb managed the Tigers from '21 through '26 and finished second, in '23, but never won a pennant. They said he expected others to do what he could do under'pressure — had no patience whatever with failure. Cobb was one of the original members of the Baseball Hdll of Fame at Cooperstown. He- en- tered in 1936, along with Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson, and Walter Johnson — and attended many of the an- nual Hall of Fame days in the little upstate New York com- munity. • The "Georgia Peach" was an example for all ballplayers in that he lived the game around • the calendar, While other more satisfied big leaguers loafed through the Winter months, Ty spent long days out of doors, tramping through the woods with his dogs, exercising legs that were to carry him through 24 sensational years of major ball, "When I was a boy in Geor- gia," he once said, "we never heard of tennis or • basketball Or football. Baseball was our only game, and 'we played it every day until we rah out of light." He never Warmed to night hall, though admitted it was popular with the fans, arid 0. paying proposition. Cobh was a wealthy than be- cause of a soft drink.investment late in his playing career: He built a beatitifill home in Cali- fornia, but returned to Georgia in later years ''because I missed my old friends."

News For Ali Mule-Skinners "The mule never has a disease that a good club won't heal," Said Josh Billings, a nineteenth- century humorist, Despite such fortitude, the mule had seemed until recently to be a vanishing species in America. Overtaken by the modern farm tractor, the faithful plug mule has been dis- patched to glue factories and dog-food plants in such numbers since World War II that farm economists have darkly pre- dicted he would soon be as ex- tinct as the dodo, But this sum- mer, across Southern farmlands, the resourceful mule is aiming derisive brays at the barlaingers of his doom. "Two years ago, I didn't sell but 150 mules," says Joe Lanier of Rooky Mount, N.C., a mule dealer for 30 years in the heart of the South's bright leaf-tobac- co bell.. "This year Nu sell 300, and you are going to see a little increase each year until the mule business is back where it was after. World War II." Leon White of Birmingham, a graying, red-faced dealer for 28 years, says: "About 1957, we weren't selling enough to meet expenses. But we're selling all we can find now, maybe 5,000 this year." • This mulish renaissance is large- ly due to the U.S. government's controversial acreage allotment plan, especially in tobacco farm- ing. Georgia, fox example, has 72,584 acres of tobacco under cultivation this year, but the average allotment per farm is only 2Y2 acres. Attempting to work such small plots, many farmers find it fi- nancially impractical to use ex- pensive harvesting • equipment. A good "jarhead", mule costs about $400, eats $100 worth of groceries a year; tractors cost up to $5,000 and "are prone to ex- pensive internal disorders. Such a reprieve should come as no surprise to the mule, who remains the most successful hy- brid ever developed. Mules haul- ed stones for Egyptain pyra- mids, plowed for Romans, and bore such travelers as King Sol- omon and Columbus. Steadier and more sure-footed under fire than the horse, mules were used extensively by the U.S. Army in battle up to the Korean War, and more than 5,000 were killed in action dur- ing World War I. (The last 31 Army mules were mustered out of the service in 1957.) While the mule contributes less than 1 per cent of the na- tion's work power today (as op- posed to 79 per cent in 1850), many dealers think the old Mule breeders will soon return to bus- iness. It has to be done one generation at a time; for as Josh Billings said: "The mule is half horse and half jackass and then comes to a full stop, nature hav- ing discovered her mistake," Let 'Em Look — And You'll Suffer Probing the relationship, if any, between TV crime shows and a rising rate of juvenile delinquency in the U.S., a Senate subcommittee tuned in on Sec- retary of Health, Education, and Welfare Abraham A.

A Reporter Tells About Ty Cobb It was four or five years ago, while in Kansas City with the Red Sox, that this reporter had his first lengthy interview with, the great Ty Cobb. There was to be an "Old-Tim- ers' Night" at Kansas City Sta- dium and several Athletics stars of other years had been invited to attend, the "Georgia Peach" among them. It was with strange mixed emotions that we approached the man whom a majority consider the greatest ballplayer of all time, writes Ed Rumill in The Christian Science Monitor. He was the greatest — there could be little doubt of that. And even the most hardened baseball writer has to feel a quickening of the pulse when sitting down with one of the greats, But, for years we had heard about Cobb's temperament — of his dislike for reporters, and of his unpopularity with many of the men who played with and against him. What sort of man was this Ty Cobb? About 12:30 another reporter and myself knocked on the door of room 1204 in a neighboring hotel and a smiling, surprisingly athletic lOoking gentleman opeh- ed it, saying: "Come right in, gentlemen. Sit down' and make yOurselves at home," Cobb was immediately the perfect host. He asked us if we would join him at lunch; and although both of us had eaten a late breakfast, it would have been impolite , to refuse this man's hospitality. Cobb plunged immediately into the interview,, without even waiting for questions. He was pleased to be invited to Kansas City for this - special night; he always looked forward to seeing big league games, and to meet- ing some of the present-day stets: He asked us about Ted Wil- liams and told of meeting the Red Sox star in New York, years before, "He is one of the itiOst intensely interested ballplayers I've ever known," Ty said of Williams. "He asked me a Mil- 'lion questions I hardly had a chance .to ask him one." When lunch carne, Cobb eon- Untied almost without interrup- tion, He Went back through some of the high pOints of his remarkable career, always speak.- ing kindly of the efrieti of his time. Could this be the Cobb we had heard about? Ile had, only praise for his more ,rugged opponents; for the DetrOlt Tigers and, in later years, the Philadelphia Athletics who were his teetinnateS. He had praise, also, for the Modern game of baseball; but occasionally spoke of changes, Of irriPtoVeinents that he thought Should be Made.

"It's easy to dislike 'Lenny, for obvious reasons. He's been too Micky, too gifted, toe successful." Leonard Bernstein's wife, Feli- cia was speaking, as quoted 'by Mr. riggs in his book "Leonard Bernstein, the Man, His Work and His World," on the "I-hate- Bernstein school." Bernstein's detractors, according to. Mn Briggs, maintain that his whole career "hash been, a fluke, .based not on solid merit but on a sort • of universal stupefaction that one 1T1611. would° have the temer- ity to attempt so many things At once." But aside from this chapter merely hinting at enemies, Mr. Briggs sings the saga of one of the most extraordinary success stories in modern musical his- tory. He gives us a factUal ac- count, in unadorned journalism, of a career that began when the 10-year-old Lenny fell heir to his. Aunt Clara's upright piano and has continued — accelerando — to his present position as music director of the New York Phil- harmonic, In a mere 30 years Bernstein has achieved renown as a symphonic and operatic con as a pianist and composer of • opera, symphonies, and musi- cal comedies, and as a pedagogue whose television broadcasts have unraveled many a musical mys- tery for millions. - Though Mr. Briggs has written entertainingly and has included a good selection of photographs, he has made little or no effort to deepen the portrait by evalu- ating the inner tensions, aspira- tions, and searchings that propel a man toward creative accom- plishment and fame. True, Mr. Briggs may not be acquainted with this side of Barnstein's suc- cess, and we may have to wait for Bernstein himself to draw aside the curtain on the inner victories that proceed to the outer ones. Should there be critics who think his career a fluke, they might bear in mind that doors seldom open before a man is prepared to walk through them, that a quick success, unless sup- ported by a ready foundation, soon crumbles. Bernstein's quick success was not an easy, success. His beginning at the top brought with it a tangle of problems that had to be unsnarled if he wished to, stay at the top. Any man's success is like an iceberg: only 10 per cent shows; and Mr. Briggs has given 'us little more than can be easily seen. Yet he has indicated one of the chief reasons for Bernstein's continuing victory. It is his abil- ity to love, his almost inexhaust- ible patience with importunate humanity, his readiness' to for- give even those who criticize him most. It is this capacity that makes one wonder if he truly has an enemy. Many times I have heard a musician pour out list of errors that he would at- tribute to Bernstein, only to, con- clude by saying something like this: "But Lenny has a great talent, there are no two ways about it." MERRY MENAGERIE' Jokes That Are By No Means Funny The filing of police charges against a youngster who admits a school prank sounds like stern medicine. But when the prank is an anonymous phone call about a "bomb" planted in the school, and when so many hundreds of lives are at stake, the action must be firm. - For school authorities have no quick- way of distinguishing be- tween the prankster and the genuine crackpot. They have to take each threat deadly serious- ly. Four times recently such threats have been received 'at Will Rogers. Each has proved a hoax. What a tragic responsi- bility would rest on a hoaxer's shoulders if school officials tired of the game of "Wolf!" and did nothing the very time the dan- ger was real. It is to guard against such, a disaster that it must • be publicly demonstrated that such' hoaxing is no joke. There must be no persecution, but there must be prosecution. —Tulsa (Okla.) Tri- bune. How Can I? By Roberta Lee Q. How can I remove mildew from clothing? A. This mildew usually re- sponds to an overnight soaking in buttermilk, and then a laun- dering the next day. Q. What is a good way to de- odorize the insides of• bottles and jars? A, With a solution of water and dry mustard. Let this solution stand in the vessels for several hours. Q. What is an easy way to ex- tract the white from an egg? A, Puncture the shell and let the white drain out, then seal the egg with waxed paper. The yolk will keep fresh and moist for several days if kept in the refrigerator. "Now's our chance to repay all those dinner invitations!' Few people 'are born fools.
