the statistics Cobb lacks several
months OF being 26 years old He
has been playing baseball about
eight years.
Folks said, at the first az this
season. that Cobb was skidding. He
foolishly went on the stage last
winter. and unquestionably he did
not start the season in as good
trim as in the past At chat he
has managed to build his batting
average up mighty close to the
.425 mark-which may be skid
ding" but it, at least, isn't upset
ting
Cobb's speed may last him until
he is 80. 1t would not be surpris-
ing If his batting ability stuck by
him until he is 50.
There isn't manager in base

would be cheap enough for The
