JIMMY AUSTIN FASTER
THAN COBB, SAYS COLLINS

Here is what Eddie Collins
has to say about Jimmy Austin,
whom the Yankees traded TO
st. Louis: IF | were as fast
as Jimmy Austin, / dent believe
I'd ever stop running until
crossed the plate. There is no
question about him being faster
than Cobb and /, but Jimmy
has never developed the art OF
getting a big lead. That is
where Cobb and ! have the bet
ter of him. He also slides head
first most of the time, which Is
not nearly SO successful IN
stealing bases as the feet-frst
plunge. II Austin ever learns
these two tricks, he Ought to
steal 100 bases in season. for
he has the speed"
