II Ty Cobb should be lost TO the
Detroit club and TO baseball through
damaged eyesight the national pas
time and the American league would
suffer. There are those who name
Cobb as the greatest ball player ever
on the diamond. Others favor Lajoie,
Wagner or some of the old-timers.
Picking the star OF stars Is largely u
matter of personal opinion, whether
the Judge be magnate, player or
writer. Whoever is the grandest play
er or was the grandest player, the
fact remains that Tyrus Raymond
Cobb's disregard for consequences
TO himself and his opponents has de
veloped a fine lot of enemies for the
Georgian in every city on the circuit
These same enemies, who, by the way
are hostile only in baseball way,
pay TO see him play and are glad oil
the chance. You can never tell with
Cobb in the game just what is going
TO happen. His style OF doing the un'
expected is too well-known TO need
any comment.
Men OF this character and ability
are few. About one OF them to gen
GRAFTON is all the national pastime de-
velops. The combination OF brain,
speed and nerves necessary TO pro-
duce a man of his stamp is very rare.
Nerve, by the way, Is the chief re-
ouisite off the so-called wild" ball
player and without a high, nervous
temperament an athlete cannot sue
coed as Cobb has done.
DR.. Robert Gilman, who Is treating
Cobb. says he will be able TO play
again on Monday, which is cheering
news. Cobb has worried about his
vision for several days and that as
much as anything has tended to az
gravate the trouble.
In speaking of Cobb. the race for
that auto prize naturally comes to
mind. It remained for the Cleveland
Press to spring the expected story
that If the rivals were close at the
finish some .kind-hearted pitchers who
liked Lajoie and did not like COBB
would throw nothing but easy ones
TO the Frenchman so he might nose
out the Georgian. We don't believe
that any ball player in the American
league would do thing of this kind.
Ball players have a habit OF playing
the string to the end regardless OF
consequences. They have their likes
and dislikes among the men OF their
profession but we doubt seriously IL
they would, with a few rare excep-
tons, deliberately hand anything to
one player at the expense OF another
Furthermore, pitching slow. easy
ones TO Lajoie will not help him to
any material extent. because he
thrives on speed. II pitcher wants
10 see how far Lajoie can hit bal
the best thing he can serve Is high
fast one with all the speed at his
command Lajoie thrives on speed
We believe that the batting honors
will be decided fairly and without un
due advantage being given either con
testant II 1t is not, the league anc
the National Commission should take
steps Immediately to prevent such
prize being offered another season
Baseball cannot afford to tolerate any
thing that creates suspicion as to thu

~ NEVER COULD HIT
ON CLEVELAND GROUNDS

CLEVELAND. o.. Sept. s.
According 10 the dope sheet
Ty Cobb need not worry about
any notable slump, in his bat
ting average az the result OF
his idleness while the Tigers
are playing their series with
the Maps. Cleveland has always
been the hoodoo town for the
Georgia Peach" who never
batter at 800 clip during any
series on the local grounds. So
far this season Ty has batted
.269, while year before last he
batted less than 200. Should
Lajoie suffer slump In this
series Ty would be better OF
than II he had come here with
his usual run OF luck.

to grow popular. An afternoon

Stanage I'm such bad shape he
could not throw. He caught,

q good job. Ty Cobb also was
said TO be on the verge OF
blindness in one eve, but the
specialist who examined the
optic says the Georgian has
bad liver and a slight near
sightedness i'm his right lamp.
A few days rest and he will be
all right again. II Ty Cobb has

The Thomas Hunt had arrived, she
