SAYS TY COBB IS WONDER

game has ever known
III 60 on record with this asser-

more: Cobb is a better base runner to-

Will do next. The same methodical
way is not his. One time he is down
sliding head first into the bag; another
time il is feet first. He throws his
body a dozen different ways-anything
TO outwit the man who is waiting to
touch him with the ball
while Cobb was a finished base
runner last year, / look for him to be
a still better runner this year. He has
natural speed, can start fast and is
able to slide long distance. His reck-
lesness also aids him greatly. Other
league players know that Cobb will 20
into the bag spikes first and to block
him would only be at a risk OF cuts.
which ball players are anxious to
avoid.
This reckless running makes an in
fielder uncertain of himself. Some
times it rattles him and he is unable
TO make the play fast enough. At 9th
er times he juggles the ball and the
runner makes second or third easily.
But only a player as reckless as Cobb
gets away with it.
