Tyrus Cobb is still the greatest of all
basebaH players, even though his luster
as champion in all departments OF
play is furnished in the matter of base
stealing. CObb's 50 steals give him sec
ond place in this respect, to Clyde
Milan, who owns 70 and promises to
surpasse the mark of 81 set by Cobb
himself.
Cobb leads in hitting, in extra base
drives and is within a fraction of being
the best run getter in the game. The
shift in his position in the batting or
der and the failure of Crawford to hit
when in the clean up position probable
accounts for the supremacy. OF Speaker
and Collins in this respect.
Following are the important figures:
