does not leave any room for argu-
ment. Speaker. Cobb and Jackson

the game has ever known There
never was brainier ball player than
Cobb. His hitting ability is known
from one end Of the world TO the
other. He is as fast as chain lightn-
ing on the paths, fine fielder and a
good thrower. .
Speaker, without doubt, is the

At FIRST base, Daubert, Of the Dodl

At second base. the honor goes

Maranville. not merely because of n
