CODES PECULIAR SLIDE.
Hits the Turf at Almost Full Speed,
Feet First.

Ever seen Ty Cobb the great bat
ter and right fielder OF the Detroit
Americans. slide for a base?- No! Well,
next time YOU get the opportunity go
see him. This fellow has the prettie=S
Slide of any bail tosser ins the game.
Cobb perhaps spiked more players last
season than any other three men in
his league. Because of his well known
ability. because of the high position
occupied by the Detroit club in the
race. because of the fact that in sew
eral cases the men spiked by Cobb
We're members of teams regarded as
Detroit's most dangerous rivals it was
openly stated that Cobb had inten-
tionally spiked these men in order to
wea ken the Tigers strongest oppon-
ents. But this is not SO
While it may often look from the
stand as if COBB is deliberate in his
attempts to iniure. vet there are few
players, if really asked for an honest
opinion during the off season, when
they are not all excited over the pen
nant race, who would swear that Cobb
tried to put different players out of the
running by the use of steel spurs.
Cobb has slide peculiarly his own.
Unlike most others Cobb doesn't slow
down before starting to slide. but hits
the turf a almost full speed. One
of his legs is thrown in the direction
of the bag. the other usually high in
the air. while his body is thrown in
the opposite direction from the base
man. In other words when Cobb goes
into a base feet first about the only
thing the runner has to touch is the
spike on one of his shoes. Thus the
feat of touching Cobb is a rather dam
gerous as well as difficult task.
Then again, there are many basenen
who don't fancy touching Cobb any too
well. and quite often in trying to safe
ly position themselves they get in the
very spot that makes the play dan
gerous.
There are any number of American
league infielders who are very clever
at touching a base runner. but no one
has anything on Bobby Wallace. He
is an adept at handling a thrown ball
with one hand, and unless the catcher
happens to make throw that is right
on the runner there isn't a chance for
Wallace to be spiked. Cobb goes into

ter takes the throw in his gloved hand.
hooks the ball under Cobbs foot and
starts him off in some direction other
than the bag. Cobb has often missed
the bag at least a foot after being
touched out by Wallace.
