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
have 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 a little over
every other time at bat. made a
base hit, and what does that mean
TO the club and team having such
a 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 woald 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 invaluable and would virtually
assure the Giants the pennant sea-
son after season.
Giants Have Lacked Real Star.
The Giants have never been for
tunate nough to secure a cracker
jack oUtfielder Of the Cobb. Speak
CT or Jackson smuggling propensity.
McGraw could never get his hooks
Oh player like any OF that big
trio. who can and do win game
after game with the wallop.
No players have come to McGrav
ready made. lie has been obliged
to develop his own team and play
ers, and as a usual thing has been
handicapped by q mediocre hitting

outer garden and at bat would have
won the worlds series both this
season and last.

Batsmen Sure Do Not Relish Fast Ball Pitchin
Demand Of All Managers Is for "Smoke Artists

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 il 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
We're 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 a 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
curve, a spitball. slow one or a
hnuckle 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
rapidly can be taught to mix up
something else with his smoke, but
man without smoke can't have it
wished on him.
Ed Walsh would hardly have at
tanned his present status without
the spltball. 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 a whole
game of fast ones, merely bluffing
at moistentng the ball. His mates
believes he will score a shutout.
for the batters will be constantly
looking for a change But If he
should use his spitball exclusively
through nine innings, he would
scarcely fool anybody.
Walter Johnson was better than

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 a little football at the high
school in his home town. Coving-
ton, but received most of his train
ing while a scrub. He weighs 100
and will go into the game with one
of those unexplainable get there
or burst" feelings.
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, l46, keeps him from being
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
159-pound fullback, who, If ne
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 mis- letter
last year. He will graduate this
spring.

rEW YORK. Nov. 14.-There
" is little more that can be
said in praise Of Ty Cobb
than has already been written, but
his batting average of .4l0 per cent
that he made the past season, to-
gether with his average of 400 per
cent he accomplished last season,
places him in a class by himself az
a batsman.
During the season OF 1912 ne
again came out ahead OF those
great batters Of the American
league-Joe jackson. Iris Speaker
and Napoleon L.ajoie. 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 con secutfve seasons

another half dozen years TO come

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 abil-
ity and grit. but in age and weight.
Following is a brief sketch of
each man since he enterd the ath-
letio 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 his three years
there and then came direct to Tech,
playing scrub ball for three years
and making his letter in his fourth
year. This is his second year on
the varsity and he is a regular
demon when ii comes to grit and a
desire for work. He weighs 1876
pounds is 81 years of age and will
graduate this year.
Colley Great Athlete.
Colley. 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 three years at
Georgia Military academy, weighs
16s and leaves this year.
Ed 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 years more OF football II
he returns next year which is very
doubtful
Again, We have q local product
in Fax" Montague. who is playing
q 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-rouud man. He is captain of
the baseball team. is good track
man, besides being a corking foot
ball player. He is playing a 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 got a
prep SCHOOL record to light his
way, but learned the game at Tech,
playing in the class series Coach

cause he had better backing and
because Griffith taught him how to
pitch. But Griff couldn't have given
him speed if he had lacked it. and.
after all. Johnsons speed is what
makes aim one Of the most feared
pitchers in baseball

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,
having swung at every one.

McGraw on the bench.
Not d thing" replied Fred II
! got that kind of pitching all the
time l wouldn't hit ops. | didn't
see a single ball he pitched. and
just judged he was pitching by
watching his arm come around"
If Wood had happened to be wild
and had sent one at Merkle's beam
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 tile plate safe in the
knowledge that even if they are
