SOUTHERNERS
GOOD H|TTERS
Players at Top of League From
South of MaS0n-Dixon Line

Are Ty Cobb, Joe Jackson and iris
Speaker great hitters who happen to
be southerners or are they great ball
players because they are southerners?
The coincidence of the men having
the batting lead in the American lea
que all coming from the south has set
people to wondering if it isn't more
than a coincidence.
Cobb is from Royston, Ga; Jackson
claims Greenville. :. g.. as his home,
while Speaker comes from Hubbard,
Tex. All three are unquestionably
southernors and it is argued that this
fact helps three naturally great play
be otherwise.
Baseball is for the most part played
i'm very hot weather. The glare from
the sun, he heat arising from the
diamond, very seriously hamper some
players. In fact, during the hottest
of this seasons games many PLAYERS
were seriously affected by the heat.
But Jackson, Cobb and Speaker
steamed right along. They are from
the south the proponents of the south
eru idea say. and the south isn't sim
ply called SUMMIT is sunny. The
three leading hatsment got used to hot
weather early in life. The sun does
not bother them. They like it and II
makes them hit.
So while other batsmen are willing
not visibly, perhaps but still willing
under the hot glare. it is doing the
big three lot of good. It's what they
are used To and they are feeling as
though they were at home.
All this may not bc true but the
averages of the three young men from
Georgia, Carolina and Texas. prove
that something or other makes them
great batsmen.
