COBB GROUNDING TO-"
Detroit's Sensational Outfielder Re-
gaining Form of Past Seasons,

u DIST ocdSSOuS.
Detroit. May 1S.-Cobb is just be-
ginning to develop his 1907 and 1908
form, and seems to be rapidly round
ing to. He led the American league
in batting in 1907 with an average
of $50. In 1908 he was only
passed by Chriss of st. Louis, who
participated in but 81 games, and
who had accumulated an average of
341. Cobb was really again the
leading batsman of the season. with
an average for $50 games of .324.
In the 1908 worlds championship
series Cobb's batting was phenomenal
with an average of 1858, although he
was unable to accumulate any of the
hits after extra bases, for which he
is usually famous. While his batting
has not yet become phenomenal the
present season his fielding continues
to be perfection and his base run
ming is still the wonder and admira-
ton of American league fans. No
greater tribute could be paid to this
batsman than lies in the fact that he
stole two bases on Killing in Chicago
during the worlds championship
series last year, when his whole De-
troit team was able to steal but five
bases in five games.
