Connie Mack. the foxy leader or

Connie Mack, the foxy leader OF
the Athletics, while coninciding al
most entirely with jennings views
on the matter, has one belief that
differs with that OF Hughey. Mack
thinks pitcher Of the Johnson type
IS tar more valuable to a second di-
vision, or losing team, than Cobb
would be. He also believes that Cobb
IS of more value to winning or
first division club than Johnson.
Here is the way Connie puts it:
"As rule, second division
team is generally a bit shy on pitch
ing. The opposition is usually able
to make four, five or six runs day
on the average off it's pitchers. On
such teams men like Cobb do not
show to advantage as they do on q
winning club. One, two and three
runs are often enough to win a
game With a club that has a good
staff of pitchers. With such a club
Cobb's frequent dashes that net
run play the deciding part in the
game.
The fair club with star pitch
err is always hard to beat. as is prov
ed when Johnson is on the mouns
for Washington. That club with the
big Swede doing the twirling is one
'of the toughest aggregations to
trim in the American league" &C
cording to the wise Connie. Fans
always like to see Johnson perform
He is far greater card on losing
team than Cobb; consequently he is
a much better money getter, which is
something every losing club is gen,
orally a trifle shy on"
1t is a pretty hard matter to de-
eide one way or the other, although
it is certain that McAleer wouldn't
object in the least to a Ty Cobb |,
he didn't have to give up Walter
Johnson to acquire him, while Jen
nings would welcome a Walter John.
son with open arms if his coming
wouldn't mean the passing Of Ty
Cobb.

WHO is THE MOST
VALUABLE PLAYER?
Walter johnson. Washington Pitcher
and Ty Cobb Come Nearest
to Answer.

Who is the most valuable to a ball
slub-a star twirler Of the Walter
johnson type or sensational out
Gelder of the Ty Cobb variety?
No doubt if the question was put
20 fandom it would result in each
player getting a big bunch of votes
If the question was put to the leag-
ue managers it is a certainty that
the fielder would be given the pre-
ference over the crack twirler.
Hughey Jennings was asked one
day last summer if he would trade
Cobb for Johnson. Without the
slightest hesitation he replied that
under no conditions would he agree
90 such trade on even terms, as he
considered Cobb more valuable to
his team than Johnson. Here is the
way Jennings figures it out:
while johnson might win TWEEN
ey-fve or thirty games for my club
by his great pitching, Cobb will win
an equal number because of his
great hitting and wonderful base
running. Incidentally he will save
few games by his sensational
Gelding" He also considers John
son a far more delicate proposition
ehan Cobb. Let Johnson suffer an
injury to his arm; that hurts his eff
Tectiveness argues Jennings, and he
mas lost practically all his value. Lei
Cobb suffer similar injury to his
crm and he is still great asset to
his club. He will still continue to
win many games by his hitting, field
ing and base running and losee very
Jew because of his weak throwing
arm. An injury to pitchers legs
quite often ruins his effectiveness
Tor to get his right stride on tbs
eubber both legs must be In the bes
of shane. An injury TO one of Cobb:
legs. while it might impair his field
ing and base running some, would
have no effect whatever on his bat
ding or throwing.
There Is surely some sense to the
argument as advanced by the sorre
topped pilot of the Tigers.
