outguessing the Mighty Cobb.
From outing.

fTOTn ouIlnR.
A striking example of a pitcher out
guessing the batter is afforded in one OF
the Chicago-Detroit games for the world
championship. The Tigers came to bat In
the fourth inning with the score 2 to o
against them. Both teams were playing
''close''-from the opening inning It a
been conservative baseball with no dar-
ing chances. O'Leary, the chunky De-
troit shortstep, led off with a single and
big Crawford followed with another.
O'Leary was stopped at second.
It looked like a Detroit rally. and the
crowd was stamping its feet and uttering
Joyous bowls. Cobb danced up to the
plate with his confident swagger. Every
body knew he would bunt and everybody
knew Detroit would nave three on bases.
II Cobb rolls the ball along the third
base line, 1t is almost impossible to put
him out, his speed is SO great. Brown. the
Chicago pitcher, knew this. The stereo-
typed play would nave been to pitch Cobb
a ball that he would have difficulty I'm
bunting. So Brown, with remarkable
nerve, planned to ~outguess Cobb. He de-
livered a ball that Cobb could bunt with
the greatest accuracy. He actually In
vited Cobb to make the play that seemed
so advantageous to Detroit.
But, with the delivery, Brown dashed
from the pitchers box to a position on
the foul line half way between third and
home. 1t was exactly where Cobb dropped
his perfect bunt from the perfect pitch.
Sc Brown swooped on the ball and drove
1t TO Ste,nfeldt. forcing out Q'Leary, who
was speeding from second to third. so
~astounded were the Tigers at this mag
nifcent out-guessing of Cobb that Craw-
ford, mulling over the play at second
base, was caught on a throw by Catcher
King.
