pitched. If a pitcher were to hurl
nothing but his speediest straight
ball all through the game, the
chances are he would be pounded
pretty hard before the finish, for
the batters would grow accus
toned to it and time their swings
to meet it, But think how much
harder a walloping a pitcher would
take if he sent up nothing but
straight slow ones.
Before the worlds series Christy
MatheWson wrote that the Giants
would probably solve Wood. because
they could hit speed. Joe gave
them plenty of it in the first game,
and they scored three runs, but
lost the battle. They didn't see
Smoky Joe at his fastest then, and
were led to believe that he had
been overrated and that they would
surely get him next time out.
Woody crossed them by free use
of his curve ball In his second start,
on dark day, too. They were
looking for fast straight ones, and
they didn't get many of them. But
they didn't demonstrate at any
stage Of the series that they could
do anything with real speed. Hugh
Bedient handed them little else,
and their batting average against
him was nothing to boast of
Great Speed in Demand.
With due respect to the value Of
a curve. a spitball, a slow one or a
knuckle ball. present day managers
are in the market for pitchers with
great speed. A man who can throw
a ball over the plate with lightning
rapidity can be taught to mix up
something else with his smoke, but
man without smoke can't have 1t
wished on him.
Ed Walsh would hardly have at
tanned his present status without
the spitball. but minus his speed
the splitter wouldn't be worth a
wooden nickel, while his great
speed alone might be worth some
thing, even if he didn't have the
spitball perfected. Some day next
season Ed intends to pitch whole
game of fast ones. merely bluffing
at moistening the ball. His mates
believes he Will score a shutout
for the batters will be constantly
looking for change. But if he
should use his spitball exclusively
through nine innings, he would
scarcely fool anybody

Georgia guessing. Homer made his
letter the first year that Georgia
defeated Tech and has never played
on a team that has put the Red
and Black on the shelf He will
graduate this spring and he would
hate to leave school after having
played on the team three years
without beating Georgia once. He
played q little football at the high
school in his home town. Coving-
ton, but received most of his train
ing while a scrub. He weighs 160
and will go into the game with one
of those unexplainable get there

Fielder Has Bright Future.
Fielder, the Cedartown High
school lad, will play one of the half
back places and will be there with
colors flying He is especially light,
but is heady and exceedingly fast.
with a fair use of the stiff arm.
He has scrubbed one year and will
make his letter for the first time
this season. With two years more
to play in, he has prospects of a
bright future and in the Saturdays
affair he will be heard from. His
weight, 146, keeps him from being
a line plunger, but he can skirt the
ends and is a good defensive man.
Now, last, but not least by a
long shot, we have Thomasson, the
9-pound fullback, who, If he
weighed twenty pounds more,
would be a bearcat. He is the
man who will do the line plunging
for the Jackets, and he can be de-
pended upon to put every ounce Of
that 159 pounds into every play he
gets in. He learned to play ball
under Coach Heisman, scrubbing
for three years, making his letter
last year. He will graduate this
spring.

n @G i. little item more o'' that can "s be
said in praise OF Ty Cobb
than has already been written, but
his batting average Of ,410 per cent
that he made the past season, to-
gether with his average of APO per
cent he accomplished last season,
places him in a class by himself az
a batsman.
During the season OF 1912 he
again came out ahead Of those
great batters OF the American
league-Joe Jackson. iris Speaker
and Napoleon Lajoie. To perform
that feat is high honor enough, but,
together with that record, he has
the better one Of having led the
league for six consecutive seasons
and bids fair to do the same for
another half dozen years to come,
provided the Detroit club can af-
ford to keep him that long, with
the raises in salary that he will de-
mand and by all right Is entitled to
get.
Cobbs record OF .420 last season
was the greatest batting that any
player ever succeeded in accom-
plishing Other players have ex-
celled those figures in percentage,
as follows;
Duffy, 43S. Turner, 1913. in 1894;
Burch, 42S Burkett, %, in 1895.
and LaJoie .422. in 1901, but all
those big averages were made be-
fore the present foul strike rule
was adopted, and when batters like
Burkett and Duffy could xiii the
good ones" with ridiculous ease by
Intentionally fouling off the ball,
and even under those favorable
conditions they did follow up their
big averages for six years hand
running.

Ty Cobb Is the Greatest Batter of Baseball History
Sam Crane Says Georgia Peach Leads Them All

Cobb came right back the past
season with the surprisingly good
percentage of 40 No such con-
sistency of batting has ever been
known, although Cap" Arson, Dan
BrOuthers and also Hans Wagner
nave had big consecutive batting
periods.
When one stops to think what
.410 batting average means, then it
can be appreciated. That record
tells that Cobb. in little over
every other time at bat. made a
base hit, and what does that mean
to the club and team having such
wonder on its lineup?
Unfortunately, the Tigers pitch
ing staff went all to pieces the past
season, and Cobb's bludgeon, as
nifty as it was, could not pull his
team out of the rut.
But see what valuable player
Cobb would be to the Giants, a
team that is always for year after
year fighting for the leading posi-
ton. Cobb's bat and hitting would
be invalua ole and would virtually
assure the Giants the pennant sea-
son after season.

TT has been said that a team
needs young blood" to keep it
going. If that is the case, the
Yellow Jackets should go some in
their game against the Red and
Black. This is perhaps the young
est team Tech has ever turned out
and might be properly dubbed the
Boy Techites not in playing hbil-
ity ana grit. but in age and weight.
Following is brief sketch of
each man since he enterd the ath-
letic field. and gives the fans an
insight into what the nucleus"
really was and what the big team"
is composed of:
Albert Loeb played with the Boys
High school during mis- three years
there and then came direct to Tech,
playing scrub bail for three years
and making his letter In his fourth
year. This is his second year oA
the varsity and he is a regular
demon when it comes to grit and a
desire for work. He weighs 155
pounds, is II years Of age and will
graduate this year.
Colley a Great Athlete.
Cooley. at right tackle, is an ath-
lete in every sense of the word.
He has scrubbed for three years
and will make his first letter this
year. He takes the best care of
himself of any man on the team.
He never smokes or drinks and
practically keeps training the year
round. He played 'hree years at
Georgia Military academy. weighs
l6S and leaves this year.
I'D Means is another Boys High
school performer, having played
with them for three years. scrubbed
two years and made his letter the
last year. He weighs 172, plays a
guard and is one of the best lines
men Tech has had recently. He
has two Nears more Of football if
he returns next Year, which is very
doubtful
Again. we have a local product
in Pax" Montague, who is playing
a guard and showing up in great
style. He prepped at the Boys
High school for three years and
has made the yellow Jackets a good
all-round man. He is captain of
the baseball team, is good track
man, besides being corking foot
BAH player He is playing guard
to the entire satisfaction of all
concerned. However. he is very .
light, Weighing only 1855. and this
is his first year on the team
Captain Leuhrman has not Sot a
prep" school record to light his
way but learned the game at Tech,
playing IN the class series. Coach
Heisman saw him play and real
lied that Dee was a good man He
Is not flashN. but steady, clear
headed and hard tackler and
charger. However, he, like tho oth-'
ers, BIS far short IN the weight de-

cause he had better backing and
because Griffith taught him how to

him speed If he had lacked It, and.
after all. Johnson's speed Is what
makes him one of the most feared
pitchers in baseball.
Fred Merkle. who has not been
smiled on by fate very often, was
unfortunate enough to be UP In the
pinch in an inning when Wood
showed his best speed of the re-
cent series. He was out on strikes.

Merkle Didn't See a Ball,
What was the matter7" asked
McGraw on the bench.
Not a thing" replied Fred. re
l got that kind of pitching all the
time I wouldn't hit .02s. didn't
see a single bali he pitched, and
1ust Judged he was pitching by
watching his arm come around"
II Wood had happened TO be wild
and had sent one at Merkie'a bean,
the latter wouldn't have had a
chance to get out of the way. The
fear Of being wounded is another
thing that makes the batter dislike
fast pitching. no matter how often
he may swear he prefers It to slow.
The man with comparatively
small amount of smoke starts
game under a disadvantage, for the
hitters go to the plate safe in the
knowledge that even II they are
beaned they will live to read about
it next day.

of the big league" variety. and
this is Hutton. who plays an end.
Before entering Tech he played
football for seven or eight years
with the Savannah High school
and was captain for two seasons.
He was star on the scrubs and
came near making his letter last
year but this is his first year as
regular He ls sure tackler
heady and knowing the game is
second nature with him. He is a
sophomore and by next year
should be able to play in the back
field, where he is accustomed TO
playing, but again-weight 14S.
The only new man. out of an en-
tering class of over 200 who could
make the team was "Scrappy"
Moore, the little 14s- pound kid VINO
plays the right end and for whom
there seems such a bright future.
He Is natural born athlete, but
has had quite a good deal of ex-
perience, having played for four
years on the Little Rock High
schooi team. where he was a star
of the Evening varsity, Before
he leaves Tech he should make the
all Southern, and that is getting TO
be harder and harder to make every
season.
Rely on McDonald's Punts.
The man we shall now speak
of is another one of those Boys
High school players, having played
with them for two years and
scrubbed for one year. and is now
playing such a pretty game at
quarter This is Mcdonald, who is
there with the goods all the time.
and whose punting is expected to
be feature of Saturdays fray.
This man is something else besides
a kicker. He runs well with the
ball and is a regular demon on
catching forward passes from both
sides. He weighs 100 and has three
more years at Tech, all of which he
can play in.

There is nothing in baseball bet

cleanup slugger like Cobb, who
can be depended on almost every
other time at bat, the Giants would

XX WHENEVER you hear a ball
w player remark that he likes
to hit against fast pitching,
or that he can hit it better than
anything else. or that his team is
strong against it. put him down in
your book as temporarily deranged
or careless with the truth.
For when he speaks of speed, it
is taken for granted that he means
the fastest sort, and not the best
hitter in the world can accomplish
as much against it as against
